Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 97: I’ll Stay by Your Side

The things you desperately wanted to hide, in the end, couldn’t be concealed.

Leon Grant knew what she was worried about and added, "They all know. But..."

Raine Sinclair slightly frowned, waiting for him to continue.

Things had come to this, and she didn’t want to get overly emotional anymore.

Moreover, she didn’t even have the energy to get emotional...

Yet Leon, rarely hesitant, took a moment before saying, "You previously said you didn’t want Jonas to know the child was his, so I told them you were only one month pregnant, and that the child... is mine."

As he said this, Leon’s tone was slightly cautious, his eyes never leaving Raine’s face, afraid of missing even the slightest expression.

Such concern was only because he had placed her in his heart.

Even though it was something they had agreed upon before, he was still worried about causing her any discomfort.

In fact, Raine was indeed momentarily stunned.

She had imagined countless times how Jonas would find out she was pregnant, but never thought it would be so abrupt, and that she herself wouldn’t even know the process?

Seeing her silent, Leon thought she was angry at him and hurriedly explained, "Raine, I... If you think it’s inappropriate, I can go and explain to them, this child..."

"What’s inappropriate?" Raine came back to her senses, her pale lips curling into a smile as she looked at Leon, "I should thank you for coming over; otherwise, I really might not have survived."

Before, she only thought Jonas didn’t like her, but never imagined he might want her dead...

After this experience, she could probably finally let go of Jonas in her heart, right?

She wholeheartedly wanted to love him, but he only wanted her life. How pitiful...

Hearing her say this, Leon finally felt relieved.

On the contrary, Raine felt a bit embarrassed, "But if everyone in Sedonia knows you’re with me, won’t it affect your reputation?"

She had just been divorced for two months. Although on the surface, nobody dared to provoke her, behind her back, people said the nastiest things.

Leon had quite a good reputation, and if he got mixed up with her, perhaps...

Before Raine could continue her worries, Leon had already said, "How would it affect me? I’d be too happy."

Upon hearing this, Raine was a little stunned, seemingly perceiving Leon’s intentions. She blinked and didn’t dare say more.

Seeing her like this, Leon thought she was tired and said, "If you’re tired, rest for a while. I’ll be outside your door, so you can sleep at ease."

"Okay." Raine nodded, just about to close her eyes, when she suddenly remembered she had an appointment with her grandfather and hurriedly said, "Oh no! My grandpa is still waiting for me!"

Leon, who had just stood up, also frowned, immediately seeing what she was thinking, "You don’t want your family to know?"

Raine shook her head, recalling her mother’s stories about her grandfather’s carefree past, and confidently said, "If Grandpa finds out what happened to me today, he might just shoot Jonas..."

No matter the consequences, Grandpa would certainly do it.

After seeing William Jennings at the bidding site, Leon had someone check his past, and those dark details didn’t go unnoticed.

He knew what Raine was concerned about.

After a moment’s silence, he replied, "I’ll contact your grandpa, you can rest assured and have a good sleep, okay?"

"...Okay." Raine blinked, feeling distinctly that Leon was especially gentle to her at this moment.

Yet, this gentleness made her a bit uncomfortable.

It seemed like after walking once through the gates of hell, many things had changed.

It was the first time Leon saw her so obedient, he smiled slightly before turning and leaving the ward.

Hearing the door close, Raine felt a long breath leave her chest.

She opened her big eyes, looking at the ceiling for a while, then at the outside world. It seemed that a gentle breeze was blowing through the window, brushing against her cheek, tickling her but rather comfortably.

The sky outside was a clear blue, with clouds as soft as cotton candy.

Suddenly, she felt a bit sentimental.

Being alive is really great...

Outside the ward.

Jonas hadn’t left, neither had Leo and Candace.

As soon as Leon stepped out, all three of them coincidentally turned to look at him.

Worry was written all over Jonas’s eyes, but he didn’t speak, leaving Leo to ask first, "How’s sis-in-law doing?"

Leon glanced coldly at the three of them, "She almost didn’t make it, are you disappointed?"

In his eyes, these three people were the culprits who wanted Raine dead!

Leo’s face turned a bit grim, "What’s Mr. Grant saying? It was an accident, we didn’t mean for it to happen!"

It was as if they had done it on purpose...

"Hmph, now you’re pretending to be good people, where were you before?" Leon didn’t want any explanations.

The result was Raine being called over to have so much blood drawn that she almost lost her life!!

Candace also wanted to know Raine’s condition. Since Leon wasn’t willing to say, she took two steps forward, "If it weren’t for Raine, my child and I might not have survived. I want to see Raine and thank her in person!"

It was a decent excuse.

But just as she stepped forward, Leon stopped her, "She needs to rest right now and can’t be disturbed."

"I... I just want to see her, as long as I see she’s fine, I’ll be relieved!" Candace’s eyes reddened, performing with all sincerity.

"No need!" Leon’s attitude was firm, with no intention of giving in!

Though Jonas couldn’t see through this woman’s true nature, Leon saw it very clearly!

If she hadn’t attempted suicide, how could it have led Raine to donate blood?

Thinking of this, Leon’s gaze suddenly darkened as he turned to Candace, "I heard you attempted suicide?"

"I..." Candace was stunned, completely unprepared for anyone to pay attention to her at that moment?

Before she could give any explanation, Leon continued, "Could it be that you knew Raine had the same rare blood type, so you deliberately attempted suicide to...?"

"You’re spouting nonsense!!" Interrupting Leon’s hypothesis loudly, tears streamed down Candace’s face!

Her little secret was hidden so well, how did this suddenly appearing man see through it?

If Jonas finds out, what would she do in the future?

Quickly, she began looking for an excuse, "I didn’t know Raine and I had the same blood type at all!"
