The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 517

She hoped that Leonard could help to get the Panax ahead of time, but after what happened, Cynthia k new that she would not be able to rely on the Hines for help, which left her and Leon to fight for Panax

on their Own.

Meanwhile, in Cynthia’s room.

“Cynthia, I’ll go back to my room now. Rest well!” Leon said, before turning to leave.

“Wait! Leon, I still feel weak from the Jimsonweed just now. Stay and chat with me for a while.” Cynthia

reached hastily for Leon’s arm.

“What? You’re still under its effect?” Leon asked in surprise. He was certain that he countered the effect completely, but decided that he might have missed something.

“Yeah. Maybe.” Cynthia’s eyes darted away and she refused to meet his eyes. In truth, she was no long er under the effect of the Jimsonweed and only wanted to spend more time with Leon.

“Maybe I should check your condition again?” Leon asked, not noticing the way she was looking away.

“It’s fine. I’m probably fine. I just want you to stay and chat with me,” She bit onto her lower lip and flush ed.

“Um, I don’t think it’s appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone inside a room.” Leon smiled shee pishly, finally understanding what Cynthia was trying to do.

“Why so? You got drunk before and I looked after you. I’m feeling unwell right now and is it so wrong to

ask that you stay and take care of me?” She pouted.

“Um, alright then.” Unable to refuse, Leon agreed to stay.

Cynthia laid in bed with her hand gripping Leon’s tightly as though she was worried that he would run a way as soon as she let go.

Rendered helpless, Leon pulled over a chair to sit next to the bed, before chatting with Cynthia.

Time flew by and soon, the two started feeling drowsy.

Cynthia drifted off to sleep with a content smile on her lips and Leon yawned as he tried to pull his hand ‘Whatever. I’ll just wait for a while longer until she is completely asleep before leaving!‘ He thought to him the entire day. Exhaustion along with the wine he consumed earlier began to weigh on him and he fell asleep with his head on the bed.

The next morning, sunlight shone into the room through the window and Leon somehow found his way o She was the first to wake up and when she opened her eyes to find Leon’s face in front of her, she batte “Ah!” She screamed, coming close to kicking Leon off of the bed.
