Chapter 353 Leo's sealed memories part 8
Author: M_W Cancer
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
The moment Leo returned home along with Elizabeth and her men, he unexpectedly saw Reinhart going downstairs.
Seeing this, Reinhart didn't become shocked and panic, he instead runs straight towards Leo with a worried look on his face and soon after immediately hugged him while saying, "Where have you been?! I've looked for you the moment I returned but didn't found you, so I thought that you have already returned home. I then run all the way here only to end up finding that you still haven't returned. Fortunately, you are safe!"
If only Leo really paid close attention to Reinhart's words, then he would have noticed a lot of flaws and loopholes. Like for example, the biggest flaw would be Reinhart didn't mention what he had seen when he finally returned back to the small hut. It is also a big loophole how Reinhart didn't meet them along his way to the Heart town. But because Leo really trusts his older brother Reinhart, he didn't suspect a single thing at all. He didn't even doubt why his older brother Reinhart didn't look for him inside their small underground room.
This was the main reason why Reinhart was confident in his actions because his younger brother Leo would certainly believe him and think that he had indeed done what he had said he had done.
Pulling away from the hug, Reinhart immediately started inspecting Leo and soon after noticed that his entire clothes were really wet despite seeing him under an umbrella the moment he came inside the manor. He also noticed that Leo's small hands were actually covered in bruises and there were even clear signs of blood from a wound.
Without bothering to ask, Reinhart suddenly grabbed Leo's hand and looked at his palm to confirm. His face immediately turned dark the moment he saw many small wounds all around the hand. He slowly turned to look Leo straight in his eyes, and asked solemnly, "Tell me, what happened to you?"
As soon as Leo heard that question from his older brother Reinhart, his eyes immediately started forming tears before he finally started crying, "Waaaaaaaaa!"
If it was other people that asked him this question, then Leo would definitely not show his weakness. But this was his older brother Reinhart, someone that he knows and was sure that he can rely on everything.
Reinhart quickly pulled Leo into another hug while patting his small cute head while consoling, "Don't worry, you're now safe."
Leo still didn't stop crying while under Reinhart's hug. Because of this, Reinhart could only helplessly look at Elizabeth and asked the reason why "Do you know what happened to him?"
Elizabeth nodded her head and immediately replied while showing a delighted look on her face, "Yes, Leo had actually just gone through a really exciting life-threatening experience before we finally found him. From some Magical Beasts appearing in front of his door, hiding inside a small underground room, and finally drowning inside before finally being saved by the very great me. Oh, we also nearly became a husband and wife because I kissed him in order to save him, but lucky I kissed his lips again to remove myself from being his wife. But, for him, he is still considered as my husband. Now that I've told you everything, you can start praising me, hehehe!"
Reinhart smiled after hearing Elizabeth's replied and patted her head to praise her, "Good, good, good, with you being by Leo's side, I won't need to worry about him anymore."
"What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked as she didn't understand what Reinhart meant by his words.
"Eh, don't you know it already, that you and Leo are both going to be married together the moment you reached 18 years old, 13 years from now to be exact." Reinhart explained.
"Who wants to marry him!" Elizabeth immediately exclaimed the moment she heard Reinhart's words. She still hasn't forgotten Leo's reply about him not wanting her to be his wife, or was it like that...? Anyways, she decided that she would also not want him to be her husband.
"Who wants to marry her!" Leo also exclaimed loudly at the same time as Elizabeth before pulling out from Reinhart's hug and wiping his tears off from his eyes.
Hearing both Leo and Elizabeth exclaiming at the same time, immediately causes Reinhart to chuckle, "Don't worry, you both would definitely be perfectly suited for each other. Look, you both aren't only born on the same day, time, and place, but even thinking the same exact reply and saying the same exact words at the same time, hahahaha!"
"No!" Leo and Elizabeth exclaimed while shaking their heads in unison.
"Look, even the direction where you both are shaking your heads and the number of shakes was the exact same, hahahaha! Just accept it, you both would become a heavenly couple 13 years later," Reinhart said before standing up, "Anyways, Leo, go to Butler Xiao and ask him to help you clean your wounds and to change your clothes. I still have something to do, so take care of yourself."
After saying that, Reinhart left the manor and went straight towards the direction of the small hut. The moment he had seen Leo's hand with bruises and wound, he immediately wanted to know what exactly had happened to him when he was gone, and the only way to know about that is to go to the site where it had happened. As an older brother, not to mention being the one responsible for leaving Leo alone back at their small hut, he would definitely make those Magical Beasts that have caused his young brother to suffer to pay for their sins.
After seeing Reinhart leaving, Leo immediately went to find Butler Xiao to ask for some bandaid and a change of clothes. Surprisingly, Elizabeth also chooses to follow after him after telling her men that she would be staying in the Heart's manor for the night.
"Why are you following me?" Leo asked in annoyance. Although Elizabeth had indeed saved him, he still won't forget the humiliation of being slapped on his face.
"Is it not allowed to follow after my fiancée?" Elizabeth replied while showing puppy eyes, which immediately made Leo jumped back as he felt his heart beating fast.
Leo doesn't know exactly why, but the moment Elizabeth's face got closed to his, he immediately remembered that exact moment she kissed him. He knows that he shouldn't be thinking like this, considering he's still 5 years old, but he just can't help it. Maybe this is because they were said to be a heavenly couple.
"N... no, you can follow me, but just don't get so close to me..." Leo said before quickly turning to look at the side as Elizabeth's face was again starting to get close to his.
"Why are you avoiding my gaze, then?" Elizabeth asked curiously, "And why is your face really red?"
"I..."
Before Leo could reply, Elizabeth unexpectedly put both her hands to his cheeks as his head was then forcefully turned to look at her and she right after suddenly put her head to touch his forehead.
"You..."
"This is strange, you don't have a fever but your face is red? Is this perhaps the aftereffects of drowning?" Elizabeth said before slowly pulling her head away from Leo's forehead. But suddenly, due to the floor being wet due to Leo's clothes dripping water to the floor, her tiptoeing feet slip forward which immediately causes them to fall to the floor.
Bang!
"Ouch, that hurts!" Leo started massaging the back of his head that had hit the floor just now. Right after, he noticed something heavy on his chest, which then made him noticed Elizabeth hugging him tightly while closing her eyes.
Leo went to tap Elizabeth's head, as he said, "Hey, you can open your eyes now..."
However, even after a minute and a half, he curiously still didn't receive any response from her. He taps her head once again, but still, he didn't get any response, hence finally causing him to immediately panic.
"Butler Xiao, Butler Xiao, anyone, help!!" Leo immediately started shouting for help while looking at Elizabeth with a worried look on his face. Even if he felt annoyed by this little girl, she was still the savior that went to save him when he was on the brink of death. Moreover, she was his fiancée, so he would of course not want something bad to happen to her.
"Butler Xiao, father, mother, anyone, help!!" Leo keeps on shouting for help as he was unable to move his body and call for help personally due to Elizabeth being heavy and at the same time hugging him tightly. He was also scared that what if he makes any move and something bad happens to her?
"Butler Xiao, father, moth-"
Finally, a man wearing a butler's uniform appeared.
"Butler Xiao!" Leo exclaimed in delight as soon as he saw Butler Xiao. He then said, "Please help my fiancée, she is not responding!"
At this time, Butler Xiao was still looking a bit young, unlike 13 years later where he was already somewhat old looking.
"Young Master Leo, please don't make any sudden movements, and just allow me to carry both of you into your room." Butler Xiao said before slowly picking both Leo and Elizabeth who was still tight hugging Leo up. Since both of them were still relatively light, it was easy for him to carry them at the same time. In fact, it wasn't even considered heavy at all.
Soon, Butler Xiao finally started fast-walking towards the direction of Leo's room, which is also Reinhart's room.
Along the way, Leo hugged Elizabeth tightly so that she won't accidentally fall off, and fortunately, when they finally arrived inside his room and were then laid to his bed right after, she was still safe.
After doing that, Butler Xiao then felt Elizabeth's pulse, and half a second later heave a sigh of relief.
"Is she okay?" Leo asked with a very worried look on his face.
Butler Xiao nodded his head and replied, "Yes, I think she's just unconscious."
"Unconscious?" Leo turned to look at Elizabeth and noticed that she was still hugging him tightly despite already in a comfortable place. He can't help forming a smile on his face as he silently whispered, "Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal."
"She's also having a bit of a fever, so I'll go down to get some medicine and will be back as quick as possible." Butler Xiao said before turning to leave the room. But he suddenly stopped at the door and didn't forget to remind Leo, "You can let go of her now and help her sleep comfortably on the bed." He then left the room while wearing a knowing smile on his face.
The moment Butler Xiao left, Leo's attention then turned to look at the unconscious Elizabeth. This little girl really made him worry so much to the point that he started panicking, which is something he normally wouldn't do. In his mind, he can't help but thought, "Maybe my older brother is indeed correct that we are a heavenly couple because the date that this little girl saves me is coincidentally also the date that I'm saving her, hahahaha..."
Leo knew that he was only overthinking things, but the idea of having this little girl as his wife.... seems to be not that bad at all.
