Chapter 648: Chapter 640: Do You Like It?

「Eastwood Villa.」

When Tiana saw the doctor simply clean Leo Joyce’s wound and apply a couple of bandages, she was beside herself with worry. "Mr. Lockwood, Leo said he couldn’t see before. Could his eyes be injured? How about we go to the hospital first?"

Before Archie Lockwood could respond, Leo Joyce cut in, "Tiana, I don’t want to go to the hospital. I hate hospitals."

"How old are you? Why are you still being so stubborn? Mr. Lockwood, let’s just go to the hospital."

"I’m not going! Archie Lockwood, if you dare take me to a hospital, this isn’t over between us!"

At this, a headache began to form as Archie Lockwood looked at the two of them. "You two can sort this out. I’m tired. I’m going to get some rest."

’He never should have gotten involved in this mess.’

’Whether Leo Joyce got to see Tiana Grayson or not had nothing to do with him, anyway.’

"Mr. Lockwood..." Seeing Archie Lockwood about to head upstairs to rest, Tiana Grayson quickly stood up to follow him.

Leo Joyce’s brow furrowed in displeasure. He let out a pained yelp. "Tiana..." he called out urgently.

At the sound, Tiana spun around. She saw Leo Joyce leaning against the sofa, his brow knitted in pain, and asked in alarm, "What’s wrong? Leo, don’t scare me..."

"Tiana, I don’t want to go to the hospital," Leo Joyce said weakly, reaching out to grab the hem of her dress.

"You’re in so much pain, how can you not go to the hospital? Leo Joyce, what is wrong with you?"

"I just don’t want to go to the hospital. Just help me get some rest, and I’ll be fine by tomorrow."

Seeing that Leo Joyce was dead set against going to the hospital, she could only nod. "Alright. But if you’re still like this tomorrow, you have to go get it checked out."

"Okay, whatever you say."

"Let’s go." Tiana leaned over and slowly helped Leo Joyce to his feet. She glanced around the house. A moment ago, her mind had been completely focused on him, so she hadn’t noticed the layout or furnishings. Looking around now, she couldn’t help but marvel, ’This place is so luxurious!’

’As magnificent as a palace.’

Leo Joyce noticed Tiana was in a daze. He smiled dotingly and asked in a soft voice, "Do you like it?"

"Huh? What?" Tiana hadn’t expected Leo to ask that so suddenly. A little confused, she asked dumbly in return.

"The house."

"It’s alright."

"Mm," Leo Joyce replied faintly. Then, as if something occurred to him, a complex emotion flickered in his eyes. "How did you end up with Archie Lockwood?" He had been in Country M for a month or two now but had never seen Tiana.

’Logically, if Archie Lockwood knew Tiana was here, he should have told me.’

"Oh, I ran into him at the airport today. Then Mr. Lockwood invited me to his party to be his date for the evening."

"Mmm..." Leo Joyce nodded thoughtfully as he listened to Tiana.

"What about you? How do you know Mr. Lockwood?" ’She seemed to recall that Leo and Archie Lockwood weren’t supposed to know each other.’

"We met at an auction two years ago. Later on, I had some business dealings with his company."

"Oh."

Tiana gave a faint acknowledgment and didn’t ask any more questions.

She helped Leo upstairs and chose the guest room across from Archie Lockwood’s.

It was only after she had helped Leo into the room and sat him down on the bed that Tiana Grayson realized, ’Given our current relationship, it’s probably not appropriate for us to be in here alone together.’
