Chapter 23. Frog in the Basin

Chapter 23. Frog in the Basin

Rachel didn't care about the car Leon is driving; all she needs now is a

shoulder to carry her mother.

The three of them went to the room where Rachel's mother is staying.

Leon didn't immediately carry her. He checked for pulse on her wrist.

"Why are you still quiet? Quick, carry auntie down!"

"Be quiet!" "How dare you shout at me?"

"Why not? Now shut up! I'm checking her pulse!"

"Oh cool, you studied for four years and dare check her?" Yenni said

mockingly.

Yenni needs to be silenced first, so Leon poked behind her stomach

which made her let out a fart.

She finally kept quiet out of embarrassment.

"I'm examining her using an acupuncture technique."

"How is mom's condition, Leon?" Rachel asked in panic.

Rachel trusted Leon because he is a bright student.

"Her disease was left untreated for too long, so she became like this."

Leon said to Rachel, "Let's deliver her to the city hospital. You stay calm.

I promise I'll cure her.".

Rachel agreed to his words.

Leon swiftly carried Rachel's mother in quick steps.

Rachel and Yenni was surprised to see Leon so powerful.

"His arms are very strong…" Rachel mumbled to Yenni.

"That's most probably because he worked at a construction site." Yenni

answered. The four of them entered Leon's Phaeton.

Yenni mumbled out of the blue, "Wow, the interior in this Passat is as

luxurious and comfortable as an expensive car!"

Rachel realized something and said, "I think I saw a VW logo at the back,

so this is not a Passat."

"Then what is it?"

"This is a Phaeton, right Leon?" Rachel asked.

"Yes, that's right!"

"This is not an ordinary car, I saw it on the news a few times." Rachel

said in astonishment.

"Well… it's not too expensive though."

Yenni was surprised and asked, "What's the difference between a

Phaeton and a Passat?"

Leon didn't want to answer Yenni who is annoying him. He answered,

"Think it for yourself. This Phaeton could get you eight Passats. Is that

clear enough?"

"What? This car is the price of eight Passats?" Yenni asked in disbelief.

She heard about the price of s Phaeton but didn't expect it to be that

expensive.

"For real? So how does it cost?" Yenni asked again. "Not too much, somewhere about three thousand dollars," Leon

answered easily.

Yenni was surprised again at what she heard. Why would Leon rent such

an expensive car? Such a waste of money.

"I'm sorry for making you spend so much Leon." Rachel said.

Leon was yet to answer when Yenni spewed more comments.

"Not expensive you said? Of course, it is not because this is a rented car.

It's got nothing to do with you."

"Be quiet!"

With his flash-like jutsu, Leon threw a sleeping pill at Yenni's mouth

without she even realizing it.

"Rachel, I feel so sleepy all of a sudden… Maybe it's too comfy in here.".

Yenni slurred before falling asleep.

Leon mastered a lot of powerful ancient jutsus; he could use them

whenever he wishes.

Half an hour later, Yenni woke up from her slumber.

Not long after, they arrived at Royal Taruma Hospital.

It is the best hospital in the city. This is also where Gerald is receiving

his treatments.

After registering, Rachel took out her bank card and prepared to pay for

her mother's inpatient fees. She has thirty thousand dollars in her bank card. It took her three years to

gather all of it; starting from her first year in the university, saving on

meals and working part-time jobs.

Leon was moved at what he saw and said, "Rachel, you can keep your

money. I will take care of your mother's inpatient and treatment fees."

Leon said it so kindly.

To Leon Thirty thousand dollars is nothing compared to the incalculable

amount of money he had. But he is yet to reveal his identity to Rachel; he

didn't want to hurt her dignity.

"Leon, I accept your good intention, but you've helped me so much

today. Let me pay it myself," Rachel said shaking her head.

"You don't have to do this, think of it as a debt you can pay anytime.

Right now, your mother's health is most important," Leon said as he

handed his car to the cashier.

Rachel was at a lost of words. She was touched by his kindness.

Yenni suddenly appeared and ruined the mood.

"Rachel, isn't it obvious he's trying to sleep with you? Otherwise why

would he give his money when its barely enough?" Yenni asked

cycnically.

"You… you are outrageous!". Rachel's face turned red from anger.

"Why else? You have a pretty face and a great body, who wouldn't want

that?"

"Enough Yenni! Stop talking!" Rachel replied angrily. "Rachel, you should be a little realistic. What could Leon do compared to

Gerald? Gerald would've given your mom a VIP room!"

"So what if it isn't a VIP room? As long as my mom is cured it doesn't

matter. The difference is Gerald cornered me, but Leon did not!"

Rachel really wanted to cut her friendship with Yenni.

Since Gerald was after her, Yenni changed so much. She related

everything Rachel did to Gerald; maybe Gerald paid her to do so.

"My innocent Rachel, sooner or later you will regret. I'm going to phone

Gerald right now to provide your mom a VIP room!"

Yenni took out her phone and called him, but he didn't answer.

Of course, Gerald can't answer because he's being treated in the same

hospital. He won't show up.

After the incident at the Sheraton Hotel a few days ago, Gerald no longer

dares to cause Leon trouble.

Yenni felt disappointed for being unable to reach Gerald, but she keeps

on trying to find ways to mock Leon.

A while later, Leon finished the required inpatient paperwork.

Leon came back to where Rachel and Yenni waited.

Yenni looked angry.

"What are you doing playing superhero Leon? If Gerald is here, you're

done!" "Go away! No one needs you here," Leon said shooing Yenni away.

Leon's intention to help Rachel is sincere; he didn't expect anything in

return.

"Thank you very much Leon." Rachel said as tears filler her eyes.

"That's just how we should help each other. Let's accompany aunty to

her room," Leon said.

Leon brought them to the inpatient room.

"Please come in." Leon ushered them inside the luxurious room.

Yenni immediately gave her comments.

"Single room? VIP? How could you get this VIP room?"

Yenni was surprised because she knew a night in this hospital's best VIP

room would cost up to five thousand dollars a night.

"Leon, why are you doing all this? Don't even think about getting closer

to Rachel, you'll most probably pay for only a day or two." Yenni said

mockingly.

Yenni is still wondering; even if she is rich, she wouldn't be willing to

pay for such an expensive room, so why did Leon?

"Tell me why Leon. A metal will forever stay as one, it will never

compare to an expensive ceramic. For Gerald even the change in his

pocket will pay for this room, but what about you? A delivery boy like

you? Quit dreaming!" Yenni argued heatedly. Yenni you will never understand. A frog living in a vase feels safe and

superior staying in there, but it will never know what is outside the

vase!"
