Chapter 475


    Leo made three trips to bring back the meals they bought. The three of them finished eating and left the


    diner together.


    Anya didn’t have sses right now. It was already autumn, but it was still very hot at noon.


    Leo handed Anya his car keys. “If you’re feeling tired or hot, go to the car, crank up the air conditioning,


    and take a nap.”


    Anya stared at the hand Leo extended. She looked up at him. Her smile was twinkling like stars.


    Leo chuckled, “You’re zoning out again. What are you grinning at? Hurry up and take this.”


    Molly couldn’t help butugh at this spectacle. One straightforward guy and one soft-spoken girl, they


    were enough to keep Molly in stitches all day.


    Anya took the car keys, while Leo and Molly went off to prepare for their next ss.


    Their schedules didn’t ovep; Leo had his sses in the early afternoon, while Anya had herster.


    After finishing his sses, Leo had to find Anya to get his keys back.


    During the ss, Molly received a call. Without wasting a minute after ss, she rushed out in a panic.


    This was out of character for Molly. However, Leo didn’t think much of it. He navigated through the


    bustling crowd of students and, following Anya’s schedule, went straight to her ssroom with his


    textbooks.


    When he arrived, the ss hadn’t started yet.


    In the ssroom, Anya seemed to stand out, sitting alone in the front row while others huddled in small


    groups. She was quietly reading. This made Leo’s job easier.


    His entrance quieted the room. All eyes were on the most distinctive guy in the room. Everyone held


    their breath, waiting to see what he would do. The silence in the room was for Leo.


    He walked straight to Anya, and gently tapped the table in front of her with his index and middle fingers,


    which was a signal that he was there.


    Because of the silence, the sound of his tapping stood out in the room. Anya was startled. She looked

    up to see who hade. “Leo?”


    Anya stood. “Are you done with ss?”


    Leo nodded, reaching out his hand. “Anya, I need the car keys.”


    Anya handed over the keys. “Are you going home now?”


    Leo retorted, “If I go home, what will you do?”


    At that moment, a young teacher entered the ssroom. Leo didn’t linger. “I’ll wait in the car for you.


    When ss is over, I’ll pick you up. Now, focus on your ss.”


    Anya nodded, smiling as she watched Leo leave.


    After Leo left, the room was filled with whispers. Some guessed they were cousins. Others thought they


    were dating, and some even spected that their families were preparing for a marriage alliance.


    Anya wasn’t bothered by any of it. When her ssmates’ curiosity got the best of them, they sent a


    representative to ask her about her rtionship with Leo. “Anya, what’s your rtionship with Leo?”


    Anya replied, “He’s my Little Leo.” Her answer was as good as saying nothing.


    With her current status in the ssroom, even if someone didn’t like her, they wouldn’t dare to offend. If


    she didn’t want to answer, no one would be bold enough to ask again.


    After Leo had publicly acknowledged Anya’s privileged status, who would dare to cross the sole heiress


    of the Calder Corporation?


    There were rumors that Leo had even allowed Anya to vent her anger by throwing water during a


    confrontation. He threatened those who dared toy a hand on Anya, promising to expel them.


    Everyone knew better than to offend her. Stay away, and you wouldn’t have to worry about causing


    trouble. This was one of the reasons Anya didn’t have friends in the ssroom.


    In the hospital.


    After ss, Molly didn’t wait for her brother to pick her up. She took a taxi to the hospital. Once there,


    she headed straight to the 13th floor. She located the nurses’ station and asked, “Hello, a new patient


    was admitted today, Coleen. Which room is she in?”


    The nurse referred to herputer. “Ah, the unconscious patient. She’s in bed 032.”


    “Unconscious?” Molly was taken aback.


    Her brother had only told her that their mother was unwell and staying in the hospital. She needed


    Molly to keep herpany. He hadn’t mentioned that their mother was unconscious.


    The nurse nodded, “She was transferred from the emergency center.”


    Molly’s heart raced as she searched for her mother’s room.


    During ss, Chad had called her, and his tone was serious. “Molly, are you in ss now?”


    Molly replied in a low voice, “Yes, I have a ss, but I’ll be free after that. What’s up, Chad?”


    Chad was silent for a moment before saying, “Could you go to the hospital after ss? Mom’s not


    feeling well, and she’s in the hospital. I’m out and can’t make it.”


    He didn’t say anything more before hanging up. Molly guessed that Chad didn’t want to rm her,


    which was why he hadn’t provided more details.


    She found the room and entered without knocking. Her mother was lying on the bed. Her father was


    standing by the bed talking to the doctor, and one of her mother’s secretaries was also present.


    Seeing Molly, the doctor asked, “And this is?”


    Kendrick answered, “My daughter.”


    Cancer?


    Molly was shocked. She looked at her mother lying on the bed, then back at the doctor. “Doctor, what


    illness does my mom have? Why has it escted to cancer?”


    Molly frowned, staring at her mother on the bed. Her eyes were filled with tears.


    Kendrick seemed to have been prepared for this. He didn’t react as strongly as his daughter. “Alright,


    thank you, doctor.”


    After the doctor left, Molly sat by her mother’s bed, looking worried. “Dad, what’s going on? Mom was


    fine. I know hypersia ismon in women, but how did it turn into cancer?”


    Kendrick replied, “Don’t be scared, Molly. We haven’t done the tests yet. It might not be cancer. Maybe


    your mom just fainted from exhaustion.”


    The secretary also hurriedlyforted Molly, telling her not to overthink. Reаd at Dramanovеls


    Half an hourter, Coleen gradually woke up from her bed.


    Terrified, Molly had climbed onto her mother, sobbing, “Mom, you scared me to death.”


    Coming to her senses in a hospital, Coleen barely had time to recall what had happened when she


    heard her daughter crying. Her immediate instinct was tofort Molly.


    It was only when illness struck the family that Molly truly understood the heart-wrenching worry that


    came with it.


    Despite her tears, Molly didn’t neglect her duties. She managed to find a wheelchair and, with an IV


    stand in tow, she and her father wheeled her mother to the ultrasound room for a check-up.


    Throughout the afternoon, the three of them raced around various examination rooms in the hospital.


    Chad, unable to contain his worry, managed to sneak away for half an hour during dinner time to visit


    his mother in the hospital.
