Chapter 704 Extra Story 15 Of Sean And Cloris (1/2)

Cloris was still considering Leon's words while he apologized yet again, ”I'm sorry.”

”Fine,” she said briskly. Cloris felt a little awkward as she continued, ”I don't care about that anymore. So you really don't need to send me gifts in future again. And there's no need to apologize so profusely to me.”

”You may not care about it, but I care about it,” Leon said with a smile and continued, ”Thank you for forgiving me. I still need to make it up to you, as much as I can though.”

”I don't think you can make it up to me...” she murmured in a low voice.

”How about I kidnap Charley and bring him here for you?” Leon asked with a wicked glint in his eyes.

”Nonsense!” Cloris stormed. Though she knew that he was joking, she couldn't help feeling a little upset thinking about Charley, her first love. She reminded Leon bitterly then, ”Remember, if it weren't for you, Charley and I would have...”

”Charley and you would not be together, regardless. Don't forget about your brother. Am I right?” he interrupted.

Cloris was stunned into silence, as she knew that Leon was speaking the truth. As long as Sean held on to his obsessive love for her, she could never be with anyone. It was a heavy shackle which would bind her for the rest of her life, it seemed.

Even thinking of this left her with a shortness of breath as panic overwhelmed her.

Leon noticed her distress as her face turned visibly pale. He came over and supporting her asked, ”What's wrong with you? Are you ill or in pain?”

”I'm okay. I'm just tired and need to rest... Wait! What are you doing?” Leon took her by surprise as he unexpectedly hooked her into his arms, in a tight and protective hug! She never expected that he would cuddle her!

”I'll take you to hospital,” he said with a straight face.

”No! There's no need for me to go to hospital.” She struggled to free herself from his arms, but failed as he held her even tighter. It seemed that he was determined to be her escort.

Taking no excuses from her, Leon took Cloris to the hospital.

After a brief check-up, the doctor assured them that there was nothing wrong with Cloris, but recommended that she get some rest and avoid excessive tension. Cloris felt a little embarrassed by the whole episode and she chided Leon, ”See! I told you that there was nothing wrong. I'm perfectly okay!”

”I'm sorry. I just worry about you,” he said nonchalantly. Leon was relieved to know that nothing ailed Cloris. ”So, let's get out of here then,” he suggested.
