" Hey wake up..." Emily said nervously as the guy seem to be losing concious.
" hey mister you can't close your eyes...stay awake okay" Trying her best to make him open his eyes but Leon seem to lose concious and his breath became shallow after all he was bleeding a lot despite her attempt to stop his bleeding applying pressure on his open wound that was covered by a piece of white cloth that was now red from all the blood oozing out from it, seeing this she panicked,
" wake up... please don't die on me...hey Mister..." Emily didn't even know his name anyway she continued waking him up almost crying now but then she heard a soft yet hoarse voice.
"It Leonard .."he said softly almost not audible but she still heard him, his eyelid slightly open to meet her wet black eyes which now show confusion over what he just said.
"My name.. is Leonard now don't..cry..I..I. be..fine" he said with difficulty showing her a light smile on his face but she was not convinced, he was in pain and was just trying to appear strong so she would not get worried.
Not sure what to do at the moment because she had lost her purse she couldn't even call for help, what a pathetic state she was in but just then among his things on the floor she saw her grey purse.
And right then she remembered this man
wasn't he the guy he bumped into at the Airport?
yes it is him! Emily realized he was the same man she overtook to grab the available cab and in the process she must have had dropped her purse, so did he followed her all the way here to return her purse?, who does that?, in this busy city everyone mind their own business
people could careless what happens to you, where is this guy from?
But then soon her bodyguards that she had a long run so she could escape them came for her and behind them was another guy who introduced himself as Mr Brown's assistant Henry.
But Emilia was not in the mood for introduction she urged her bodyguards to take Leon to the hospital immediately as he was already unconscious and had lost a lot of blood.
" Boss! ...what happened to him?" Henry asked, he was surprised to see his boss in a very bad state.
wasn't he just looking for the owner of the purse why did he end up like this? but there was no time quickly they carried him while calling for an ambulance.
