Chapter 159


    Ricardo was about to take off, but Emmett stopped him in his tracks.


    “Don’t let ra in on this, not a single peep.”


    “Why not? Shouldn’t she be on her guard too?”


    “ra’s an innocent soul. I don’t want her to get all bummed out about the ways of the world. If we


    don’t find anything wrong, then it’s all water under the bridge.”


    Ricardo finally got the gist and nodded, “Ah, I see! Mr. Melendez, you really think it through! I didn’t


    even consider that! Ms. Calloway is lucky to have you. always watching her back”


    “She’s naive, so I have to look out for her.”


    He was utterly smitten with this innocent woman.


    At lunchtime, ra wanted to grab a bite with Emmett and ask about Leah.


    But after much thought, she decided to ditch the idea.


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    People would think something is going on if they saw them together!


    She didn’t want to cause any trouble for Emmett.


    Just as she was about to grab lunch alone, her phone rang. It was Leah.


    “ra, do you have a moment?”


    “Sure, what’s up? You sound like something’s up!”


    I, I got hit by a car. I called our housekeeper, but he didn’t pick up! The doctor asked me to get a family


    member here. I can’t find anyone, can you…e


    over?”


    Upon hearing this, ra immediately agreed, “Of course! I’ll be right there!”


    After hanging up, ra hailed a cab to the hospital


    On the way, she gave Emmett a ring.


    “My friend just got hit by a car. I need to take care of her, so I might not be back in the afternoon! Can


    you ask Ricardo to cover for me?”


    Emmett replied in a serious tone, “How’s your friend? Do you want me to go with you?”


    ra was taken aback and quickly refused, “It’s okay! I can handle it!”


    If Emmett found out she was going to see Leah, he would definitely be pissed.


    “Just be careful, if you need my help, call me anytime.”


    “Alright!”


    ra hung up as the cab was pulling up to the hospital.


    She quickly followed the address Leah sent and rushed in.


    Out of breath, ra arrived at Leah’s room, where she was bent over the table, her shoulders shaking


    slightly. It was heartbreaking to see.


    “Are you alright?” ra hurried over and patted her shoulder lightly, “How could this happen, did they


    find the driver?”


    As soon as Leah heard ra’s voice, she started sobbing even harder.


    “You finally came here! I thought, I thought I was gonna die…”
