"Yes..."
Mellisa replied in a dull voice, and her eyes swept over him pretentiously.
Except for a few wrinkles on her clothes, her appearance was still immaculate.
When Mellisa opened her eyes, she saw a familiar card beside the pillow.
She narrowed her eyes, glanced at Leonard, whose eyes were dull, and bent down to pick up the card. Apparently it was the business card Lyle had given her.
Mellisa calmly took the business card back into her pocket. She reached out and fiddled with her hair, watching Leonard. "Master, why am I sleeping here?"
Leonard sat up and moved, slowly leaning against the head of the bed. "When you showered just now, maybe the shower was too hot and you got a heat stroke. I can't move around freely, so I can only pull you out and put you here to rest for a while."
Mellisa lowered her eyelids and lips. A faint smile crossed her face.
It seemed Leonard thought she had a heatstroke.
Vomiting and dizziness go hand in hand with heat stroke symptoms.
"Then... Thank you, young master."
Leonard waved his hand. "You're overreacting. Next time you help me take a shower, I hope you don't pass out again. Now that you're awake, go back to your room and get some rest. Today's dinner starts half an hour early, remember to come early."
Melissa nodded. "Okay."
She glanced at Leonard, her peach blossom eyes shining, and after a breath, she turned and left the bedroom.
She always felt that she had overlooked some important details.
But considering that Leonard was now blind, with scars all over his body, Mellisa didn't think too much of it and concluded that the man really pulled her out of the bathroom with great difficulty.
Mellisa walked out of the door and returned to her bedroom at the corner of the corridor.
Her morning sickness was very serious today, and it seemed she needed to find a way to relieve it as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, she would be worried that it would reveal who she truly was.
...
After Mellisa left, Leonard's eyes gradually darkened.
He squinted at the door, rubbed his fingertips, and pondered.
An hour later, his building was accosted by five bodyguards and five servants.
These were all Leonard's confidants in the Adler family, and they had been rearranged in various places in the other building to ensure their identities were not leaked as well as keep an eye on the situation.
Mellisa was pregnant, so what he had to do had to be done beforehand.
In this Adler family, they are all in the game.
The only thing he cared about was Mellisa.
And that night, at twelve o'clock, seven cruise ships accidentally caught fire in the dock for some reason.
The entire terminal was instantly caught in a sea of ??fire, and this incident not only alarmed the police station in the jurisdiction, even the news crew reported this strange fire incident.
From the news reports, six of the yachts are owned by the daughter of the Graham family, and the other yacht is accidentally owned by ... Luke, the second young master of the Adler family.
...
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, Mellisa and Leonard were sitting in the bedroom right after they had breakfast, and the butler hastily appeared from the door.
"Young Master, the Patriarch and the others are here…"
Mellisa took a moment to sort through the dinner plates. This was the first time she had heard of the Adler family Patriarch in the past few days.
Leonard leaned against the head of the bed, his face looking calm. "Where are they?"
The butler frowned and said briskly, "They're downstairs. How should we respond?"
"You are my right hand man, I'm sure you already know the answer."
The old man snickered awkwardly. "Well, I'll go and block them now."
After the butler had gone, Leonard raised his hand and placed it on his forehead.
He closed his eyes and sighed. Listening to the sound of dinner plates in his ear, he turned his face and whispered. "From now on, my breakfast time will be set at 8:30. You don't need to get up early, and leave the rest of the chores to the other maids."
Melissa didn't mind this arrangement.
After she agreed, she arranged the dining cart and asked, "Why did you want the maids to go back?"
"This house is too quiet, and I like it!" Leonard corrected his answer straightforwardly.
Melissa knew that the man was spouting nonsense, but she could only purse her lips and say nothing else.
At this moment, Leonard remembered one more thing. He turned his face towards the opposite side of the bed. "From tonight on, your bed will be there, you will accompany me in this master bedroom."
"The room is more than 80 sqm, no problem to accommodate the two of us. If you feel something is missing in this room, you can add it yourself. You can do whatever you want, I won't interfere too much. My eyes can't be healed anymore, I need you here to take care of me. It would be more comfortable for me if you sleep here."
Melissa. "???"
Living in the master bedroom with Leonard?!
She really didn't think about it!
Melissa was still holding the used cup in her hands, and furrowed her brows. She tried to get rid of the thought. "Sir, I'm fine in my bedroom. After all, it is next to your master bedroom. If something happens, you can call me or maybe we can set a call bell. Sleeping with you is not appropriate, not to mention that…"
Hearing the voice, Leonard raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you disobedient? In this house of mine, I'm the ruler!"
"No, I mean, I still want to have a private room for the sake of privacy, I..."
Leonard suddenly interrupted. "As a servant of the Adler family, are you the same as those who mock me as useless? ? Is that the real reason you don't want to share a room with me?"
Melisa kept quiet and didn't say anything!
Not only had Leonard become increasingly violent during his severe illness, his emotions were also unstable.
After waiting for a while and not hearing Mellisa speak, Leonard couldn't help but to open his eyes and face her without focusing. "I am aware that no one will like me as a young master, I know that I am incompetent and flawed. You must be disgusted to be in the same room as me, right?"
Mellisa looked into Leonard's eyes, lowered her head to put the glass on the dining cart. "I'll go pack my things in a minute."
Leonard's heart tightened, and he straightened up in a low tone. "Where do you want to go?"
"I'll pack my own things later, I need to clear this up first." Mellisa was helpless, but still explained to him with a good temper.
"Well, fine then."
Seeing him relieved, Mellisa's clear eyes flashed a smile.
Leonard is like a child today.
And Mellisa didn't realize that when she faced Leonard, she couldn't help but start a new life as a wife.
Here, Mellisa pushed the dining cart and just opened the bedroom door. As soon as she lifted her eyes, she saw a figure standing by the door.
At a glance, there were at least seven or eight people.
Mellisa was stunned for a moment, and the old butler was outside the door hastily pulling out the dining cart. "Why are you stunned in the middle of the way like this?! Hurry up and get the dining cart back downstairs, Mr. Leonhart is coming through!"
It turned out that the man in front of him was the current Patriarch of the Adler family, Leonard's father, Leonhart Adler.
He looked like he was in his early fifties, standing before a group of bodyguards in straight suits, with a thick imposing aura surrounding his body.
