Chapter 15 Return to Eastlake Manor

Finished

“Leah, Charmaine is just trying to drive a wedge between us. Don’t listen to her. Don’t fall for it!” Milo quickly reassured her.

Leah looked up at him, her eyes red, the picture of someone utterly heartbroken.

At that moment, Milo’s rage toward Charmaine surged he wanted nothing more than to see her destroyed!

He vividly recalled that childhood birthday when Leal had mysteriously promised him a special gift.

She had taken him to the beach, and that’s when he discovered that Leah, who had just learned to write, had spelled out his name on the sand using seashells. Milo had been both surprised and deeply moved.

But because of a moment’s carelessness, Leah had been swept away by the tide and nearly didn’t make it back. When the bodyguards pulled her from the water, she was already ice–cold. It took three days of emergency treatment in the hospital to save her.

When they returned home, Milo had been punished by being locked in the small dark room, and his Leah, still running a low fever, had snuck him food, despite her own condition.

From that day on, Milo silently vowed to protect Leah for the rest of his life. No matter who hurt her, he would take them down.

All these years, no one had ever hurt Leah this deeply.

Even if Charmaine was his biological sister, it didn’t matter. He would make sure she paid!

The others slowly came back to their senses, and Valda couldn’t contain her anger. “If I had known she would cause such chaos in this family, I wouldn’t have been soft–hearted and let her return. We should’ve left her to fend for herself, dead or alive!”

“The only reason we brought her back was because we knew she had the same blood type as Leah. We thought she could donate a kidney if needed,” Olympia said, her head lowered, her expression unreadable.
