Chapter 190
Chapter 190
This was the report they got from the people who were previously sent to tail Jade and investigate her
identity. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but Andre's crew happened to witness the whole thing. They
were about to step in and protect Mia, only to realize their presence would only stir up more trouble.
Because Mia, that sweet and young girl, had already knocked down 8 guys and was now sitting on the
side, taking a break. As for Jade, she saw the guys on the ground were too spent to fight back. She
walked over and gave each one a good kick as payback for messing with Leo.
The ambulance arrived and carted off everyone who needed medical attention. Mia and Jade decided
to take Leo to the hospital to get checked out, just in case he got hurt during the fight and didn't know it.
On the way to the hospital, Mia's driving skills came in handy as she whisked Leo off to get treated.
There was a girl who kept following the three of them.
Jade didn't mince words with the strange girl, "If I find out that Leo got hurt because of you, I won't let
you off the hook!"
The girl was so scared by Jade, and she didn't dare to move forward.
At the hospital, Mia parked the car, Jade went to register, and then the three of them went to the
doctor's office together.
When Andre arrived at the hospital, he saw the three of them walking side by side to get checked out,
and he also saw the wounds on Leo's face.
"Andre, there were too many of them. I couldn't take them. Mia had to step in," Leo admitted.
Andre walked over, looking at Leo's injuries, then turned to his wife, "Did you get hurt?"
Mia shook her head.
Just then, Chad showed up.
"Chad." When Jade saw Chad, she ran over to him.
Chad checked if she was hurt. "I'm fine. Mia did the fighting, Leo got hurt."
Chad nodded, then turned to the man who had just arrived, "Mr. Cedillo, you take Mia and Leo to get
checked out first. Jade and I will do some investigating."
With that, he left with his sister.
At this point, Andre had no mind to worry about Jade, he took his wife and Leo to get checked out.
After all the commotion, it was already afternoon and even the healthy Mia was pushed in for a check-
up.
Those guys finally came around. Later, Chad learned that these guys were loan sharks. The girl had
borrowed $5,000 from them and two months later, the interest had added another $5,000, making it a
total of $10,000. They had asked for the money several times, but the girl wouldn't pay, so they had to
find her at school.
As luck would have it, Leo was at the grocery store buying water at that time. The girl saw the danger
and approached Leo, crying and begging for help, saying that someone was trying to kidnap her.
Leo was confused, so he stepped out.
Just then, those guys walked up, "Are you her boyfriend?"
"Who are you guys?"
The girl clung to Leo, afraid that he would leave her.
Leo tried to leave, but they blocked his way.
"We need to have a chat. Take them." The leader took Leo and the girl to an unmonitored alley.
"Pay up, $10,000, or we'll leak your girlfriend's nude photos."
Leo frowned; he didn't even know this girl. "Are you guys loan sharks?"
"Loan shark sounds too harsh. We are just her creditors."
The girl cried and said, "I only borrowed $5,000 to cover my grandfather's medical expenses. I didn't
borrow $10,000."
Leo turned to her and said, "Call the police. Let them handle it."
No sooner had he said it, than he was pushed into the alley and punched, "Call the police? In all my
years, this is the first time I've seen someone who owes money call the police."
Leo didn't back down and fought back. He could handle one guy, but he couldn't fight eight at the same
time. When they all attacked him, he was at a disadvantage and couldn't even pull out his phone.
Mia called him. The first time, he couldn't answer. The second time, he quickly picked up and said,
"Back gate of the school, alley, help."
Then, his phone was kicked away.
At the police station, Andre learned what had happened and looked at the unscathed Leo. "If you want
to play the hero, you should at least measure your own abilities. You're not even half as good as Mia,
yet you rush to protect others."
Leo looked down, not daring to retort.
Mia held her husband's hand, "Don't blame Leo, it's not his fault."
After understanding the situation, Andre got up and took his wife and Leo home. On the way home, he
stopped by a drugstore to buy medicine for Leo.
Mia and Leo sat in the back seat together, and she squeezed out some ointment to apply on Leo's
wounds. Seeing Leo's injuries, Mia was furious and even thought about going after those guys again.
Andre didn't object. Hit them!
When they got home, Leo became the center of attention. The whole family was concerned about him.
Normally, Naomi didn't pay much attention to her son, but when he came home injured, she was
heartbroken. "Leo, let me apply some more ointment for you."
"Mom, I'm okay."
Naomi, "Look, it's all red. How can you be okay? Andre and Mia, did you check Leo anywhere else?"
Andre, "All checked. There were no other issues, that's why we brought him home."
Naomi scolded her son with distress and concern. "Why do you have to stick your nose into others'
business?"
Looking at the wounds on his son's face, all Bruce could say was, "Let me have another look."
His words showed the concern of a father.
Hansen was fuming at home, wanting to get back at those guys.
Mia, "Dad, they're in the hospital now. Once they're out, I'll go with you to settle the score."
"Who put them in the hospital?"
Mia made a fist with four fingers, thumb pointing to her sweet cheek.
Hansen, "...Well done! What do you want for a reward? I'll get it for you."
At this, Mia was at a loss. There was a reward to be collected for getting into a fight? Did the Cedillo
family always praise their kids like this?
After Leo got injured, when he went to school, he became the center of attention. Mia and Jade took
very good care of him. It was cold outside, and when it was time to get food from the cafeteria, they
wouldn't let Leo go out for fear of him catching a cold. The two of them took very good care of Leo.
This made Leo think for a moment, he actually hoped his wounds wouldn't heal. He even thought:
Should I find someone to beat me up again?
Because being taken care of felt so good. Whenever he wanted a drink, someone would fetch it for Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
him. Whenever he was hungry, someone would bring him food that was already prepared. If it wasn't
for the fact that he was a guy, they'd even offer to go to the bathroom with him.
"Leo, someone's at the door to see you," someone in the classroom called out to him.
Leo turned his head to look at her. She was the girl who borrowed money from loan sharks and was
chased for debt yesterday.
"Come in," Leo said.
Behind them, Mia and Jade who went to buy food came back. "What? If you need something, come to
me. Don't bother Leo."
