Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1582

As soon as Leah tracked his movements, she was beyond petrified. There was a guilty conscience in her eyes, but she was resolute in her decision when she said, "Okay then, please, go in and take a look."

Leah didn't stop him and instead enabled Hogan.

Hogan's sharp gaze fell on Leah again. He looked at her in scrutiny for a long while, even setting his hands on the door handle.

Leah's heart was caught in her throat, but she made no move to stop him.

She knew that she would be exposed if she made even the tiniest peep of apprehension.

She even smiled as she looked at Hogan as if daring him to enter her bedroom.

Perhaps it was the way Leah stood her ground with a piercing stare that Hogan decided to smile and say, "Forget it, after seeing your conviction, I'm not going in. It's your private space after all."

Leah secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she only smiled calmly. "If you say so. If you really want to take a look inside, I have no qualms."

"I don't want to anymore." Hogan smiled and said, "I was just teasing you to see if you were hiding a man in there."

"Hiding a man?" Leah snorted. "Do I seem like that kind of person? Hogan, I'm terrified at what you're trying to say, could someone be spreading malicious rumors behind my back?"

"No, you're thinking too deep into it." Hogan shook his head. "No one said anything."

Leah narrowed her eyes, clearly not believing Hogan's words.

If she didn't, Hogan would have turned around to look at her, and it would be a little off-putting.

Her smiled revealed nothing. She only said, "Hogan, it's really late. You've already seen me so you can rest easy now. You should hurry back, it's a long way home."

"I have a few words for you." Hogan looked at Leah and spoke from the closed entrance of Leah's room, "You haven't visited your father in a few days, haven't you?"

So he did come here with a purpose.

Leah smiled, but her smile was becoming colder and colder, she was feeling more uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I haven't seen him in several days." Leah said lightly.

Any time the matter of her father was brought up, Leah would lower her head. Her long lashes shrouded the dimness in her eyes.

Hogan sighed and said, "Even if you don't like it, you should go visit him. After all, his condition is really serious, not to mention he misses you."

"Hogan, that woman must have sent you, right? Since when did you become my manager?" Leah raised her eyes and looked at Hogan with a cutting gaze. "If you came here to advise me today, I don't think it was necessary. I just got a severe cold and I've only just recovered to a fraction of my full health. If I went over and infected my father, he could die."

Hogan jerked slightly when he heard Leah's exclamations. He then nodded his head. "You're right, I'm sorry. I didn't consider that."

"You didn't consider that? Hogan, you're not the kind to think through things mindlessly." Leah had lost all sense of tranquility. She looked at Hogan and accused, "You came here to ridicule me, didn't you? What authority do you have to interrogate me?"

"Leah, I'm not interrogating you." Hogan said in a deep voice.

Hogan's speech felt a little too uncanny to Rowane and her stepmother's tone. It hurt Leah, and she lashed out in return.

Hogan was in undeniable shock. "The Winston family's money... The person who paid for all of Mr. Winston's medical bills, that was you?"

"Who else did you think it might have been, Hogan? Rowane? Or my revered stepmother? Do you think they would pay even a penny? Them and their selfish behavior, would they ever willingly fork out money for my father's treatment?" Leah cried.

"Leah, I honestly didn't know about all this" were the words Hogan wanted to say, but if he did, he was afraid he would agitate her more than she already was.

"What did you think happened? What you thought was the reality ended up being false." Leah's cold tone persisted.

"Where did the money come from? Where did you get the money?" Hogan frowned and looked at Leah. Suddenly, he became stern. "Leah, did you do something stupid?"

"Hah, something stupid?" Leah sneered. "Hogan, why don't you just spit it out, what's the use of sugarcoating your words?"

Hogan hesitated and asked, "Mr. Winston spent a lot of money for his treatment. How did you earn so much money? Leah, tell me, where did you get the money?"

Leah sneered. She raised her eyes to look at Hogan, and then he sighed internally. This was the guy who once had a special place in her heart, the guy who had stayed by her side even when she was still young and ignorant. What a shame it had to come to this.

He had the nerve to doubt her.

Leah scoffed. "I sold all my stuff, of course. How else would I have been able to make that much money?"
