Chapter 176 Randall’s Appearance
Leonard finally awoke but remained weak. When he visited me at my ward, he pulled me into a tight embrace. “I’m sorry, Eva. I shouldn’t have let you come with me.”
“What did the doctor say? Did you have an allergic reaction? How do you feel now?”
Alisa and I were consistent with our statements, that I fainted because I was drugged.
I patted his back and assured him. “I’m fine.” After observing him and confirming he was weak and not in danger, I relaxed my heart.
“Eva, are you sure you’re fine? Why do you look so much skinnier? I heard you’d been taking care of me before you fainted. Is your blood sugar level low again?” He retrieved a few sweets from his pocket and placed them beside my pillow. “I asked for these from a nurse; she said these will help. You gotta have sweets with you at all times. I’ll make sure you do that.”
I couldn’t argue over him and helplessly nodded. Holding the sweets somehow made me feel guilty.
He chatted with me for a while and ensured I was fine before finally relaxing. He gritted his teeth, saying, “I’ll make Keenan, that bastard, pay for this! But first, we need evidence.”
After a brief silence, Leonard rose to his feet. “Just rest up. The nurses here will look after you, In the meantime, I’ll meet that bastard. Since we’re still in talks about the collaboration, Jedidah ought to give me an explanation.”
I could tell he was truly angered this time. Many had tried to sleep with him, but not one had dared to drug him. Keenan was the first.
Seeing a figure outside the door, I reminded Leonard of a few things before he left. Then, I pretended to be asleep on my bed. About ten minutes later, the door clicked open.
As soon as I heard that person near me, I snapped my eyes open and pulled out the fruit knife in my hand. However, I quickly withdrew the knife upon seeing that person’s face.
“Randall?”
The burn disfigured half of Randall’s face. Despite wearing a face mask, I could vividly see his unsightly scar. His eyes, however, remained as dark and mesmerizing as before-just like Rivaella’s.
When the door to my ward suddenly swung open again, he instantly crouched and picked up a piece of fallen tissue on the ground. Then, he began gathering the garbage bag.
Keenan didn’t notice any anomalies and merely glanced coldly at me. “Where’s Leonard?”
“How would I know? Go find him yourself!” I looked at him frustratedly. “What’s wrong? Did

he call off the collaboration? What made you think he’d want to collaborate with you and become your son-in-law after you drugged him? You’re delusional!”
I raised my voice, distracting Keenan from noticing Randall’s departure. As expected, I pissed. Keenan off. He kept saying I was hogging resources and failed to utilize the Harmons’ strong influence.
Of course, I was unperturbed by his words. As Randall left the ward, I saw him sliding something into a vase near the door. Immediately, I hopped off the bed and pushed Keenan outside. “Don’t think you can force me into anything just because you’re my elder!” Then, I swiftly locked the door from the inside. After standing in the hallway for some time, Keenan eventually left in a fit of anger.
I hurriedly texted Leonard, telling him that Keenan would seek him soon. Subsequently, I pulled out the fresh flowers from the vase and expectedly saw a note inside.
The wobbly handwriting wrote, “The surveillance footage refreshes at 11:30 pm. Meet me at the rooftop.”
Seeing his handwriting, I couldn’t help but choke with emotion. Randall used to have excellent handwriting. As I recalled the burn marks on his face and arms, I gripped the note, knowing I was one step closer to the truth.
