A Moment in Destiny

Rae was shocked as she listened. “What sort of person would dare to come harm you? Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, Rae!” Leonard replied. “I just lost a bit of blood and it was a flesh wound. The wound wasn’t deep and I had avoided it. He was an employee from the company, he was dissatisfied of an issue on remuneration and went to his superiors about it a few times but in the end he was neglected. This man found me and was stopped by the secretary, he thought that I had been bad to him so he stabbed me once!”

“Why didn’t you call the police?”

“Mr Baxter said that it wasn’t easy for everyone and that he had just done it without thinking it through, and he wasn’t really hurt seriously, so he let it go!” Monty thought that this was rather bad as well and was very impressed with Leonard’s tolerance. But he could not understand his actions either, why was he being harmed so badly but still had to hold it all down?

Perhaps it was that Leonard wanted to provide his family with a tolerant and harmonious atmosphere, so he did not want to offend others!

“I still that that this person has issues, do you need me to bring him in for an interrogation?” Rae asked him.

Leonard shook his head. “Rae, I have been quite exhausted running the business these years, and I don’t want to make enemies at the very end, especially serious ones. I only have you and your mother, and everything else is unimportant, let’s just let things be when we can!”

Could such a tolerant Leonard be a person who had caused the death of her mother and her brother?

Rae sunk into deep thought.

After she went back, Rae did not sleep well for the entire night. At dawn, she received a call from the hospital, saying that Minnie was awake.

Rae immediately followed Leonard to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, only they knew that Minnie had only woke up to say a few sentences, and now she was asleep again!

The nurse told them that she had been recovering well, and now she could be transferred to a normal ward!

Minnie was immediately transferred to the VIP ward, there was only one bed for Mrs Baxter and all the facilities are good.

After they went in, Leonard held onto Minnie’s hand and mumbled against her ear, “My child’s mother, please wake up! You have suffered, I’ll accompany you afterwards for morning exercises and walking the dog, and I’ll help you watch the roads…”

He was talking to Minnie. Rae walked outside, wanting to leave the space to the husband and wife!

For better or worse, for life and death, they had been together for a few decades and never got tired of it. This was a miracle in itself!

Rae was deeply envious.

She leaned against the bench outside the ward and closed her eyes, feeling exhausted.

After a long time, a deep masculine voice rang from above her head, “Rae, auntie had woken up, right?”
