Chapter 116
Rosalind looked at Jonas’ troubled expression and asked with concern.
“It’s nothing. My dad wants me to go on a business trip to South Anulina.”
Upon hearing this. Rosalind felt relieved and said with a hint of annoyance
“He wants you to go on a business trip, not to walk into the jaws of death. Why are you so aggrieved?”
With a mouraful face, Rosalind thought something had happened to his family and worried for no
reason.
“I am aggrieved. I just came back from a business trip a few days ago, and now I have to go on another
one. Once I leave, I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again.”
Jonas tilted his head, and at this moment, he didn’t look like a charming man but more like a pitiful little
puppy clinging to its owner, reluctant to leave.
Helplessly, Rosalind covered her forehead. Was this man throwing a tantrum? It gave her goosebumps.
Jonas, how old are you? Even my three-year-old Kevin doesn’t throw tantrums like you.”
Rosalind had heard before that many women liked the type of men who acted like little puppies, feeling
needed and happy.
Why didn’t she feel any happiness? She just felt chills all over.
“Can your Kevinpare to me? He’s a little scoundrel!”
Thunking of Kevin, Jonas couldn’t help but recall the scene from that game they yed in Deep
Mountain Vi, the only time in his over 20 years of life that he had suffered a major defeat. It was a
memory he couldn’t hear to look back on.
Suddenly, Jonas remembered that Leonardo seemed to be Kevin’s biological father, and Leonardo was
still unaware. In an instant, Jonas feeling of being wronged disappeared.
Maybe Jonas should arrange for Leonardo to y with Kevin someday and let Leonardo experience
the taste of being crushed.
With this thought in mind, Jonas felt enlightened.
“Alright, I’ll go ahead. I can’t apany you today, but when Ie back, I’ll bring you a gift. The car
should be repaired tonight, so I’ll have someone drive it straight to your home.”
Turning to look at Leonardo, Jonas earnestly advised.
“Leonardo, take good care of Rosalind while I’m away. Don’t bother her if there’s nothing urgent, or
else when Ie back, I’ll bring someone to teach you a lesson””
Jonas had made up his mind. When the time came, he would find Kevin to teach Leonardo, the
iceberg, a lesson.
“Get lost!”
Leonardo’s icy gaze swept Jonas coldly. He really felt like Jonas should just call himself Three-Year-
Old Jonas He was so childish!
Rosalind was right. Kevin, who had more schemes than a sieve, looked more nature than Jonas, even
though he appeared to be under five years old.
Rosalind probably wouldn’t like this kind of immature pretty boy.
But why did Leonardo feel so ufortable when he saw Rosalind’s concern for Jonas just now!
It seemed that Jonas should stay in South Anulina for a while longer to avoid annoying Leonardo by
constantly appearing in front of Rosalind.
After seeing off Jonas, Leonardo felt much calmer in front of him. He could finally spend some time with
Rosalind.
“Let’s go to the hospital to change the dressing!”
“I said, I don’t need you to apany me. I can go by myself”
Rosalind firmly refused.
She felt like she had seen Leonardo more oftentely, and it wasn’t a good sign.
“Who said I wanted to apany you? It’s you who should apany me. You caused the injury on
my forehead. Are you really that heartless, that irresponsible?”
Leonardo pointed to his forehead with a face full of grievances, still wrapped in bandages.
It must be said that Leonardo was naturally handsome. Even with that big bandage wrapped around his
forehead, it didn’t diminish his appearance. Upon seeing him, it seemed like everyone forgot about theContent bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
bandage on his forehead.

Chapter 116
Rosalind hesitated for a moment, not immediately refusing
Seeing this, Leonardo’s lips curved slightly. He grabbed Rosalind’snd and before she could react, he
directly pushed her into the car.
Although Leonardo didn’t want to admit it, Jacob, the idiot, was right about one thing
The coquette fears the persistent lover!
During this time, Leonardo intentionally kept pestering Rosalind. Although she still didn’t like him much,
she had be much more receptivepared to before when she treated him as aplete
stranger.
Leonardo believed that as long as he sincerely treated Rosalind and continued to pester her, she would
eventually change her mind, right?
At the hospital, when Brett saw Leonardo and Rosalinding together, he was first surprised but then
relieved.
Leonardo was a cun ning fox of a thousand years, and Rosalind was just a silly little cat who could only
meow and didn’t know how to show her ws. She had probably been deceived by Leonardo again
and was even helping him count the money. She must have fallen into Leonardo’s trap once more.
“What brings you two here to visit my business today?”
Brett casually inserted one hand into his white coat pocket and cleaned his fingernails. It was clear that
he had nothing better to do.
“Did you forget your ethics as a doctor? I didn’te here to visit your business. Do youck morals?”
Rosalind said indignantly, giving Brett a disdainful look. This man wasn’t just a scu mbag and y boy,
but also an hical doctor.
“Oh, I can still get insulted. It seems like you’re in good spirits. Your concussion didn’t make you lose
your mind. But, if you curse at me like that, I might identally hurt you during the dressing change or
reopen your wound
Brett teased with a provoking smile,pletely ignoring Rosalind’s insipid remark.
In terms of verbal sparring, Brett might not be able to match Rosalind’s eloquence, but he had his own
special skill.
As a doctor. Brett had the advantage of being able to control people, especially patients.
“You.” Rosalind choked up, angrily pointing at Brett before slowly lowering her hand.
Well, in the end, patients were always at a disadvantage in front of doctors. She couldn’t stand Brett,
but she still had to ask him to change her medicine.
It was truly frustrating to dislike someone and yet not be able to do anything about it.
“Dr. Smith is right, I’m just here to take care of business. Dr. Smith, please go easy on me.”
Rosalind understood the situation and knew that survival was the first thing she learned during her five
years abroad. followed by assessing the situation.
Now she had topromise with Brett.
Brett grinned, helping Rosalind remove the bandage while raising an eyebrow toward Leonardo as if
showing off.
“Be careful. If you hurt her, I’ll dismantle this hospital and send you to support medical missions in
Anulina.“
Leonardo thought, “Does Brett think I’m dead? How dare he threaten my woman?”
Upon hearing this, a grimace appeared at the corner of Brett’s mouth, erasing the previous joy and
smugness he had briefly enjoyed.
Rosalind couldn’t help but chuckle at his words.
It seemed that one person could indeed counter andler.
Rosalind couldn’t do anything to Brett, but Leonardo couldpletely devour hitn. It was quite
satisfying to watch.
Afterughing, Rosalind suddenly realized something was wrong. Leonardo had just spoken up for her,
so why was she feeling so sinug?
Rosalind couldn’t help but curse herself inwardly for bring foolish and getting fooled by Leonardo’s
sudden goodwill. No, no matter how good Leonardo was, he was no longer liers. Rosalind absolutely
couldn’t repeat the same mistakes.
