Still, despite everything, he had the audacity to tell Tessa not to look at other men.

The two of them were clearly playing their own games.

Meanwhile, Megan was still stunned by Leonard’s unexpected arrival.

His expression stayed mostly calm, but if one looked closely, there was unmistakable worry in his eyes.

“Miss Quinn, I’m serious. I want to go with you.”

Megan frowned in confusion. “If you know why I’m going, why are you following me?”

“Because I’m worried about Aurora.”

Leonard’s voice held a trace of concern, and even his usually composed face showed visible strain.

“Then you should also know Aurora is already married.”

Megan’s tone grew sharper.

Even if she had her issues with her cousin, family was still family, and no matter what, she had to stand on his side.

To her, Leonard was an outsider.

No matter how sincere he sounded, he couldn’t be put on the same level as her cousin.

Right now, what he was doing felt no different than being an intruding third party.

Of course, that was a harsh way to put it, and Megan couldn’t say it outright.

Leonard dropped his gaze. “I know that. I’m only going as a friend.

“It’s been so long, and there’s been no word from her. I’m really worried. Even Nora’s been asking about her nonstop.”

The mention of Nora softened Megan’s expression a little.

She knew about that pitiful little girl.

She had autism at such a young age, yet she was still incredibly sweet.

But even so, that wasn’t an excuse for Leonard to cross boundaries or interfere in someone else’s marriage.

Watching the way Megan’s expression shifted, Leonard could tell that she still didn’t fully trust him.

Leonard let out a quiet sigh and tried again. “Whether you believe me or not, every word I’ve said is true. I have no reason to lie to you.

“I haven’t been able to reach her all this time. I’ve tried every possible way, but there’s been no news about Aurora. I’m genuinely worried.”

It was the first time Leonard had said so much in one go. “When I finally heard you were heading out, I rushed here as fast as I could.”

Hearing that, Megan felt a flicker of guilt.

Looking at Leonard’s earnest expression, she found it hard to turn him away.

Truth be told, she didn’t really know how to refuse.

He had thought things through, and everything he’d done so far made sense.

If she insisted on saying no, it would make her seem overly guarded.

With no other option, Megan took a deep breath and asked again, “You’re sure you just want to check on Aurora, right?”

“Yes. That’s all I want,” Leonard promised.

“I understand what you’re worried about, and I swear I won’t do anything inappropriate at the hospital. I just want to know how she’s doing.”

That finally put Megan’s mind at ease.

The tension in her face softened, and her features gradually eased into something calmer.

She had always seen the world with a kind heart, and seeing how sincere Leonard seemed, she decided not to push him away.

“Alright then. You can come with me. But remember, you need to follow my lead.”

Leonard nodded, a trace of joy flickering in his eyes.

Looking at Megan’s serious expression, he found it unexpectedly endearing.

“Miss Quinn, thank you. I really appreciate it.”
