Chapter 1582


    As soon as Leah tracked his movements, she was beyond petrified. There was a guilty conscience


    in her eyes, but she was resolute in her decision when she said, "Okay then, please, go in and take


    a look."


    Leah didn''t stop him and instead enabled Hogan.


    Hogan''s sharp gaze fell on Leah again. He looked at her in scrutiny for a long while, even setting his


    hands on the door handle.


    Leah''s heart was caught in her throat, but she made no move to stop him.


    She knew that she would be exposed if she made even the tiniest peep of apprehension.


    She even smiled as she looked at Hogan as if daring him to enter her bedroom.


    Perhaps it was the way Leah stood her ground with a piercing stare that Hogan decided to smile


    and say, "Forget it, after seeing your conviction, I''m not going in. It''s your private space after all."


    Leah secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she only smiled calmly. "If you say so. If you really want


    to take a look inside, I have no qualms."


    "I don''t want to anymore." Hogan smiled and said, "I was just teasing you to see if you were hiding a


    man in there."


    "Hiding a man?" Leah snorted. "Do I seem like that kind of person? Hogan, I''m terrified at what


    you''re trying to say, could someone be spreading malicious rumors behind my back?"


    "No, you''re thinking too deep into it." Hogan shook his head. "No one said anything."


    Leah narrowed her eyes, clearly not believing Hogan''s words.


    If she didn''t, Hogan would have turned around to look at her, and it would be a little off-putting.


    Her smiled revealed nothing. She only said, "Hogan, it''s reallyte. You''ve already seen me so you


    can rest easy now. You should hurry back, it''s a long way home."


    "I have a few words for you." Hogan looked at Leah and spoke from the closed entrance of Leah''s


    room, "You haven''t visited your father in a few days, haven''t you?"


    So he dide here with a purpose.


    Leah smiled, but her smile was bing colder and colder, she was feeling more ufortable.


    "Yeah, I haven''t seen him in several days." Leah said lightly.


    Any time the matter of her father was brought up, Leah would lower her head. Her longshes


    shrouded the dimness in her eyes.


    Hogan sighed and said, "Even if you don''t like it, you should go visit him. After all, his condition is


    really serious, not to mention he misses you."


    "Hogan, that woman must have sent you, right? Since when did you be my manager?" Leah


    raised her eyes and looked at Hogan with a cutting gaze. "If you came here to advise me today, I


    don''t think it was necessary. I just got a severe cold and I''ve only just recovered to a fraction of my


    full health. If I went over and infected my father, he could die."


    Hogan jerked slightly when he heard Leah''s exmations. He then nodded his head. "You''re right,


    I''m sorry. I didn''t consider that."


    "You didn''t consider that? Hogan, you''re not the kind to think through things mindlessly." Leah had


    lost all sense of tranquility. She looked at Hogan and used, "You came here to ridicule me, didn''t


    you? What authority do you have to interrogate me?"


    "Leah, I''m not interrogating you." Hogan said in a deep voice.


    Leah curled her lips and gave a mocking smile. It was obvious that he wasn''t buying it.


    However, she didn''t want to waste any more time with Hogan. She coldly ordered him to leave, "I


    still have to go and get my drops tomorrow, so I won''t keep you here any longer. You can leave."


    Hogan could roughly tell, from the moment he brought up the notion of Leah visiting her father, her


    enthusiasm all but dissolved. He stared deeply at Leah and sighed once again to exin, "Leah, my


    intentions are for your own good, I''m not here on behalf of her. I know you''ve suffered through many


    grievances."


    Leah gave a light but apathetic smile. The sourness on her lips made him feel apologetic.


    Hogan pursed his lips and said, "To be honest, it was Rowane who sent me here. She told me you


    haven''t seen your father in a while and she was worried about you. Rowane just cares about you,


    she is your sister after all."


    "Oh, so Rowane was the one behind this." Leah smiled indifferently. Her detached expression made


    Hogan feel a little nervous.


    Hogan wanted to speak but he held himself back. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he


    could only sigh.


    Leah''s expression turned hostile. "Hogan, did you feel sorry for Rowane? Hah, and here I was


    wondering why you came to see me. You should stop visiting me in the future, you don''t want to


    make her angry."


    "Leah, Rowane is your sister. How did you twoe to this?"


    "What does us being sisters have anything to do with it?" Leah asked bitterly.


    She looked at Hogan, her eyes sharp and grim.


    Hogan frowned and said, "Leah, you''re being too sensitive. Rowane isn''t as bad as you think she


    is."


    "Hogan, you should be clear by now about how Rowane and I came to this point. If you came here


    because you were concerned about me, I sincerely thank you. But if your true reason foring


    was to mend the rtionship between me and the Winston family, then there''s really no need. You


    might as well persuade Rowane to make some money for my father''s treatment. After all, it''s a little


    overkill to rely solely on me to be the provider." After Leah spoke sullenly, she once again ordered


    him to leave. "And what you said just now, that''s something I can''t ept. You''d better leave now.


    I''m not feelingfortable today and I don''t want to talk about this any longer."

    Hogan''s speech felt a little too uncanny to Rowane and her stepmother''s tone. It hurt Leah, and she


    lashed out in return.


    Hogan was in undeniable shock. "The Winston family''s money... The person who paid for all of Mr.


    Winston''s medical bills, that was you?"


    "Who else did you think it might have been, Hogan? Rowane? Or my revered stepmother? Do you


    think they would pay even a penny? Them and their selfish behavior, would they ever willingly fork


    out money for my father''s treatment?" Leah cried.


    "Leah, I honestly didn''t know about all this" were the words Hogan wanted to say, but if he did, he


    was afraid he would agitate her more than she already was.


    "What did you think happened? What you thought was the reality ended up being false." Leah''s cold


    tone persisted.


    "Where did the moneye from? Where did you get the money?" Hogan frowned and looked at


    Leah. Suddenly, he became stern. "Leah, did you do something stupid?"


    "Hah, something stupid?" Leah sneered. "Hogan, why don''t you just spit it out, what''s the use of


    sugarcoating your words?"


    Hogan hesitated and asked, "Mr. Winston spent a lot of money for his treatment. How did you earn


    so much money? Leah, tell me, where did you get the money?"


    Leah sneered. She raised her eyes to look at Hogan, and then he sighed internally. This was the


    guy who once had a special ce in her heart, the guy who had stayed by her side even when she


    was still young and ignorant. What a shame it had toe to this.


    He had the nerve to doubt her.


    Leah scoffed. "I sold all my stuff, of course. How else would I have been able to make that much


    money?"
