Chapter 372

Once again, the rooftop fell into silence after Jethro and Ron left. Leanna walked over to Louis and took a few seconds to study his bruised knuckles before she reached out a hand to hold his arm lightly. “Let’s go.”

After a moment of silence, he muttered, “Aren’t you going to ask me any questions?”

“You would’ve told me everything before this if you planned to. Since you aren’t willing to share your thoughts, I don’t see the point in asking.”

At that moment, the footsteps echoing from the staircase caught their attention, and Oscar eventually showed up at the rooftop.

He stopped to catch his breath. “Geez, what’s wrong with young people nowadays? Can’t you seek a lower ground to deal with your problems? Why must you choose the rooftop?”

Pursing his lips tightly, Louis didn’t answer.

Leanna turned to Oscar. “Everything’s all right now. Let’s go.”

Casting a glance at Louis before turning back to her, Oscar raised his eyebrows, ready to ask something. However, he eventually decided to let it slip.

Once the group made their way back to the entrance, they didn’t find either Jethro or Ron around, let alone hear the noise from a commotion.

A man walked toward Oscar and whispered something to him. Oscar’s expression slightly changed at his report, but he only waved a hand in dismissal. “Keep looking.”

“Yes, Mr. Woodley.”

After that, Oscar shifted his focus to Leanna. “Need a ride?”

She nodded at his offer before an idea occurred to her. “My car’s out there.”

“Give me the keys.”

She passed him the car key. After picking up the key from her, he tossed the key at the man behind him before asking her for her destination.

Once the group got into the car, Oscar watched the siblings from the rear-view mirror and asked, “Where are we heading?”

“The hospital,” Leanna answered.

At that moment, Louis, who kept silent the whole time, spoke. “Just drop me off anywhere.”

Ignoring his request, she emphasized, “The nearest hospital in the area.”
