Love My Friends with Benefits

He probably hadn't expected to see me here and was obviously taken aback.

I felt utterly dissipated. Leonard would definitely tell them about my presence because there was no need for him to cover up for me. It looked like I wouldn't be making it out of this ward in one piece.

It didn't matter if I were the one to suffer from a beating, but what about May? Knowing her, she'd definitely jump out without a second thought to bear the brunt of the Jones family's fury with me...

Things shouldn't have turned out this way! May shouldn't have come with me!

In that instant, countless thoughts raced through my mind.

Leonard kept staring at me, his gaze slowly taking on a hint of interest.

Perhaps he'd stared at me for too long, causing Bell to sense that something was afoot. Bell cleared his throat and asked, "Leonard, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

Leonard quickly put the sheets down to conceal me.

What was he up to?

Instead of relaxing, I felt even more anxious.

He wasn't the type to do something unless it benefited him in some way. I didn't believe for a second that Leonard would let me off the hook.

Bell still felt concerned and asked, "You looked a little odd just now. Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I'm fine," Leonard answered simply, starting to sound a little displeased.

...

Bell immediately smacked himself on the head and switched tacks. "That's good to know. Looks like Queena made me so angry that I'm starting to see things."

I couldn't help admiring how flexible he was when it came to dealing with someone rich and powerful.

One of the ICU nurses pushed the door open. "Visiting hours are almost over and visitors should start getting ready to leave."

Bell hummed in reply and picked up his briefcase, saying to Gail, "Gail, let's go."

It was obvious that he didn't want to stay even a second longer.
