Chapter 684 - L Wants A Puppy (1/2)

London immediately felt a pain in his c.h.e.s.t. He could imagine how L witnessed the murder at a very young age. She had to live on her own and suffer alone until she ended up in an orphanage. She later had to take care of herself since she was 16 years old.

Did L know who killed her family? Why did she hold such a grudge and want to marry a very wealthy and powerful man to help her get her revenge?

Why was she not saved by the Swann family after the murder?

Questions after questions filled his head as he thought about everything.

London was relieved that he could slowly find out about L's past. Even though he was devastated to learn that what she was experiencing was far more terrible than what London had expected.

L watched her family massacred, and she had to live a miserable life alone ... until finally, she could become an artist and made money.

Nevertheless, still ... even though L was now living comfortably, London knew the trauma and suffering of her past must still haunt the girl.

He hung up after listening to Jan's report more thoroughly. He was determined to handle everything and oversee it himself so that L could find her family's killers and take her revenge properly.

He would also take care of Danny Swann and his family to let go of L voluntarily ... if not, they would get the consequences.

He then walked out of his room and looked for L into the NICU room, but he did not find her there. Maybe L was already sleeping, he thought.

He then walked to L's room. When the renovation process took place last week, he made sure that L had the most beautiful and comfortable room with all the best quality furniture.

When the door to the room opened slowly, he could see L lying on her beautiful bed, seemingly trying to close her eyes. Still, it was clear she could not sleep peacefully.

She kept tossing and turning. The girl was obviously restless and stressed. London knocked twice and entered. L opened her eyes and saw London enter her room, but she didn't protest.

”You can't sleep?” asked the young man in a soft voice.

”What do you want?” L asked in a weak voice.

”I want to make sure you sleep peacefully. You don't need to think about the Swann family, okay? I won't add to your burden. I won't look for him,” London said soothingly.

Jan would look for him, and London would wait for the results patiently.

”Thank you ...” L replied. She closed her eyes again.

London climbed to her bed and hugged him. He did not ask permission because he knew that L would not allow it, but he also knew that L would not kick him out. He was sure, at a time like this, anyone would need someone to lean on. Hugs from loved ones could undoubtedly reduce the feelings of sadness or resentment.

His guess was correct. L didn't push him away. The girl even closed her eyes in his arms, and slowly her breathing became regular.
