Chapter 48: Chapter 48
Barbara regained her senses and anxiously followed along, but was stopped by Hebe,
"Barbara, there are us to take care of Chairman Leo, so we won't trouble you.
You just go to work as usual."Barbara was extremely uncomfortable listening to Hebe's words, as Hebe was obviously treating her as an outsider.
Her own husband was sick, and she couldn't help anything at all.
Barbara was so depressed in her heart that it was as if someone had ruthlessly slapped her.
She realized that she had never truly walked into Leo's life, including his background and his work.
Everything about him seemed to be unknown to her.Now, even when Leo was sick,
she couldn't take care of him by his side as his wife.She was about to suspect,
was Leo really her husband?Barbara bit her lips, and the more she thought about it,
the more she felt uncomfortable. One reason was because she was worried about Leo, and the second reason was because her heart was clogged up."
Woof, woof …" The sensible Honey could feel that Barbara was in a bad mood, so he rubbed her feet and whined a few times to comfort her.
Barbara squatted down and ca ressed her head gently, "Honey, Uncle Leo is sick, but mother can't even take care of him by his side.
Do you think Mom is of no use? ""Woof, woof …" He licked Barbara's hands and used his own method to comfort Barbara."
Thank you very much." Barbara patted his head, "Honey, you go and play.
Mom is going to work. "The Wing had a lot of tricky matters.
The matter regarding the Smith Group and the Grand was still not settled, and Leo got sick.
Barbara did not have the right to make critical decisions, but since she was able to complete her duties well
, it could be said that she shared some of the responsibilities for Leo.
Recently, due to the low level performance of the Wing, the mood of employees of the Wing had been affected, and everyone's working mood is not very high.
Barbara didn't know whether it was because Leo wasn't able to fight against the Smith Group or because he was trying to stall for time in order to find the right time to counterattack.
The colleagues in the office were either chatting or browsing Facebook.
There was not a single one who worked seriously. This situation was very worrisome.Sighing softly, Barbara calmed herself down,
turned on her work computer, and prepared to start another day of work.
After checking a few customer profiles, she then called the customers one by one to see if she could get the chance to meet with them and have a good talk with them about cooperation projects.
When she made a few calls, the other party just hung up with the excuse that they were busy with work, leaving Barbara feeling helpless.
During the majority of the morning, Barbara had been being rejected by customers and worrying about Leo's condition.
At 10 o'clock, she was called by Leo.Looking at the gradually familiar phone number that was displayed on the phone's screen,
Barbara's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. When she wanted to answer the call, she was too anxious to press the button right for a few times.
Finally, the call was connected. Leo's low and hoarse voice came out from the phone,
"Barbara, where are you?""I'm on working at the company." Hearing Leo's voice,
Barbara's tensed mind for the whole morning finally relaxed.
Once Barbara said this, the other side of the phone went silent for a long time.
It seemed that Leo did not plan to say another sentence.
Barbara waited for a while, but just as she was about to speak, she heard Leo say, "Then, continue working.""Leo..." Barbara called out to him,
she pursed her lips, asking, "Are you better now?""I haven't died."Leo's extremely cold voice passed from the phone into Barbara's ears,
causing her to feel wronged and angry.She bit her lips in frustration and said, "It's good that you haven't died. Ok, I have to go back to work."
"Yes." The man on the other side snorted coldly and hung up the phone first.
Seeing the phone's screen darken, Barbara's heart seemed to be grabbed tightly by something, causing her to be unable to breathe.
She had been worrying about his condition all morning. She had been so worried that she could not stand or sit well.
But he hang up before she could ask him more about his condition.
Barbara stared intently at the screen but suddenly the screen lit up again, and this time it was Hebe.
Hebe called and told Barbara to hurry to the Zenith Hospital.
The Zenith Hospital was a very famous private hospital. It was said that its medical equipment was even more advanced and complete than the First People's Hospital of Barcelona.
Although Barbara was still a little angry at Leo's attitude when he said those words, she couldn't possibly be angry at him constantly.
She would be relaxed only when she herself saw him recover.
After ending the call with Hebe, Barbara asked for a leave and went home and cooked some vegetables porridge.
People who had a severe fever should eat some light food.It was already close to one o'clock in the afternoon when Barbara rushed home from the company and then to the Zenith Hospital.
The security at the Zenith Hospital was tight, and ordinary people could not enter.
Therefore, Hebe had been waiting for Barbara outside the security room since a long time ago.
Seeing Barbara, Hebe smiled and went to welcome her. "Mrs. Young, this morning, because I was too worried for Chairman Leo's safety,
I might say words in an unproper way. I hope you don't mind.""It's fine."
What Barbara cared was not the attitude Hebe had towards her, but rather, it was, that when Leo was sick, she as his wife could not help in any way.
As Leo and she were husband and wife, they should be the two most intimate people to each other. But this morning, she felt that the relationship between Leo and her were actually nothing.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Barbara arrived at Leo's ward. Hebe said, "This is Chairman Leo's ward, I won't be going in."
Barbara nodded, "I might have troubled you."The door was closed, and Barbara peeked in through the crack of the door.
She saw a middle—aged lady about fifty years old helping Leo prepare food.
The woman took out various types of delicate small boxes which contained food, and placed them on the table one by one.
Her these things. Seeing that someone had already prepared so much for Leo,
Barbara looked at the thermal container in her hands and subconsciously hid it behind her back.
She did not want Leo to see the shabby food that she had prepared for him.
Barbara pushed the door and entered before the middle—aged woman immediately looked over and glanced at her.
The woman's gaze landed on the lunchbox in her hands, with an inquiring look.The ward was a suite of rooms, and the hall was a resting area.
The arrangement was made in a very comforting way, and all kinds of furniture and appliances were here.Barbara did not see Leo in the hall,
but she still could not be sure these things.Seeing that someone had already prepared so much for Leo,

but she still could not be sure that he was in the room.Barbara looked at the woman and smiled awkwardly, “May I ask if Leo Young lives here?”
The woman looked at Barbara for a long time, then pointed to the room inside,
"Young Master is inside.""Thank you!" Barbara smiled and politely nodded to the woman,
then placed the lunchbox she brought on the tea table before going to Leo's room.Inside the room was a sickroom. Leo, dressed in a white patient uniform, was sitting on the sickbed.
His left hand was having an intravenous drip, while his right hand was holding a newspaper."Leo." Barbara called out to him, but he didn't even raise his head, as if he hadn't heard her voice.
