Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Chapter 54: Leonard Felt Like Killing Himself

"Go." Oliver hurriedly pushed Sharon by the shoulders.

"I- I'm scared," Sharon moaned, frowning.

Surprised, Oliver laughed. "What are you afraid of? It's not like he would hit you."

Sharon huffed, irritated. "I'd rather he hit me. I'm more afraid that he'll just look at me with that

nonchalant expression and ignore me."

Oliver's eyes crinkled at the corners as he glanced at Leonard. He bent over and whispered into

Sharon's ear. "If Leonard ignores you, just keep pouting and act like a kitten. If he still ignores you, glue

yourself onto him. I promise you. In less than ten minutes, Leonard won't be angry at you anymore."

...

"Huh?" Sharon looked at Oliver incredulously. "Really?"

"Mm-hmm. Try it." Oliver rubbed her shoulders.

Erm...

"All right." Sharon nodded.

......

On the way back to Coral Pavilion, Nick drove while Sharon and Leonard sat in the backseat.

...

The air was heavy with silence, as if no one was there.

Sharon's entire body was stiff, and she kept taking cautious peeks at Leonard.

Leonard had been expressionless and silent for the entire ride. His lips pressed into a fine line as he

fixed his eyes forward.

He sat with his legs crossed and placed a hand on his knee while he rested his other hand on the seat.

He gave off a distant feeling that made it hard to approach him.

Sharon's heart throbbed, hating the tense atmosphere.

She preferred them quarrelling, rather than keeping silent like this.

Nick had also realised that there was something going on between them, so he was extra careful when

driving, making sure that the car was going at a constant speed.

"M-Master Leonard...." Sharon called out tentatively, unable to make out Leonard in the dim lighting.

...

Like he hadn't heard her, Leonard did not respond at all.

Sharon stared at his dark figure and murmured again, "Master Leonard?"

Still, Leonard did not reply.

Sharon pursed her lips, remembering what Oliver had said to her. So she continued to pester him.

"Master Leonard..."

Leonard's brow twitched, but he still said nothing.

Sharon tilted her head and continued to peer at his face with wide eyes, her voice calling out sweetly.

"Master Leonard..."

Leonard's lips twitched, and he frowned before finally turning to look at Sharon.

When his cold eyes landed on her, Sharon's back stiffened with a shiver. But she did not avert her This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

eyes. Instead, she called out again. "Master Leonard."

Immediately, Leonard's rage dimmed.

His brows were still furrowed, but his eyes had softened.

When Sharon saw this, she silently breathed a sigh of relief. She plucked up her courage and nudged

her body closer to his, quickly hugging his arm.

...

Leonard watched her wordlessly.

Sharon was still watching Leonard, her eyes bright and careful, resembling a kitten trying to please its

owner.

For a moment, Leonard's eyes became gentle, before reverting to his stony gaze almost immediately.

He narrowed his eyes and shifted his gaze away from her face, focusing his eyes forward.

Sharon blinked. After looking at him for a moment, she gently rested her head on his shoulder.

"He shouldn't be mad anymore, right? Otherwise, why would he let me hug his arm?" Sharon thought.

...

...

Thinking that he was not angry anymore, Sharon finally relaxed.

...

Soon, drowsiness took over her body, and she fell asleep on Leonard's shoulder.

Out of the blue, Sharon found it very hard to breathe and immediately opened her eyes, panicked.

...

Her vision when she opened her eyes was blurry and she could only vaguely see a face hovering in

front of her.

...

"A face?" Sharon thought, bewildered.

Sharon gasped, her body sitting up ramrod straight. Her eyes widened as her vision finally cleared.

Sharon was thunderstruck when she saw who it was. In a muffled voice, she cried out. "Mmm! M-

Master Leonard—"

...

Sharon was absolutely terrified and her body was shaking, but she could feel her strength draining

away little by little.

Tears flowed down Sharon's face freely as she whimpered, the veins on her neck becoming apparent

as she strained against him.

Only God knows what nightmare Sharon went through that night.

"Sharon, you are mine."

Before she passed out, she heard his deep, husky voice speak out, and tears formed tracks on her

face.

......

In the end, Leonard had used the cruelest and easiest way to claim Sharon as his.

When Leonard opened his eyes, the first thing he did was glance at Sharon.

His chest tightened when he saw her forehead beaded with sweat.

Leonard clenched his fists and leaped up from the bed. He quickly changed his clothes and brought out

one of his white shirts. Carefully lifting her body, he put the shirt on her with shaking hands.

...

By the time he finally put on the shirt, his lips were as pale as Sharon's. He swallowed, placed a firm

kiss on her forehead, and carried her out of the bedroom.

...

In the VIP ward at Peace Hospital, Leonard stood gloomily beside the hospital cot.

His lips were pressed tightly together as he stared at the pale and lifeless woman on the bed.

Out of courtesy, instead of examining Sharon himself, Denis Wu arranged for a senior female doctor

from the gynecological department instead.

The doctor was over sixty years old. She was not a resident physician in the hospital, but she would

always check in at the hospital twice a week.

Fortunately, she was here on the same day they admitted Sharon.

As soon as she arrived, she drove everyone away except for two nurses.

When they were doing their inspection, they saw the bruises all over her body and obvious red marks

on her waist area. Immediately, all three ladies' faces darkened.

Why, this was already domestic violence!

The doctor's eyes blazed with anger.

Reining in her temper, she carefully applied ointment all over Sharon's bruises and wounds.

Since Sharon was running on a high fever, after applying the medicine, the doctor put her on a drip.

She only allowed Leonard and Denis to enter once everything was finished.

She walked up to Leonard and ordered. "Follow me."

Denis was dumbstruck.

Leonard frowned and turned to look at the female doctor, who narrowed her eyes.

"What are you looking at? Of course I'm talking to you!"

Denis broke out in a cold sweat, warning her silently with his eyes.

However, she was furious and couldn't care less about Denis. Glaring at Leonard, she chastised him.

"You may look like a gentleman, but how could you do something like this? Do you think she's

indestructible and wouldn't feel any pain?"

"Indestructible..." thought the two nurses, exchanging looks with flushed faces.

...

Denis said nothing and kept wiping his forehead.

Leonard's face twitched, frowning deeply at the doctor.

"You scumbag!" The female doctor sneered.

"D-Doctor Smith, I forgot to tell you something. Could you please follow me to my office?"

Breathing heavily, Denis asked, heading for the door.

"All right, I'll be right there."

Doctor Smith may have responded, but she did not budge. She glared at Leonard and continued. "All

of you men are so irresponsible and selfish! You only care about your pleasure and never care about

your partner's feelings. Just look at what you did to her! I'm not trying to scare you, but this might end

up as a psychological trauma for her. By then, it'll be too late for you to regret your actions!"

...

With that, Doctor Smith walked out with the two nurses with a cross face.
