Chapter 1250 It Was Time They Both Moved On
Stephanie stayed by Leonard’s side until night fell over the city. Then, Leonard slowly
woke up.
"Stephanie?" When he opened his eyes, he saw Stephanie and her reddened eyes. "Why
are you crying? Did someone pick on you?”
It was as if he was completely unaware of the situation he was in. His first instinct was to
worry about Stephanie.
It made Stephanie's eyes turn even redder. "You're the one picking on me."
"Me?" Leonard was stunned. He got up, but then the aches in his body sent waves of pain
washing through him. It hurt so badly that he gnashed his teeth.

Leonard had no other choice. He wanted to move, but he couldn't. "Sorry. I've made you
worry." It was then that he remembered what had happened, and he understood why
Stephanie would have tears in her eyes.
He was careless. He hadn't thought the criminals would be brave enough to kidnap him.
Stephanie pouted, doing her best to calm herself down. "You don't have to apologize. You
did nothing wrong."
"Stephanie..."
"I'm not mad. That's truly how I feel." Stephanie was serious. She continued, "I get your
principles, so I’m supportive of it."
Now it was Leonard's turn to tear up. "Stephanie, I..."
"I just want you to be more careful in the future and not throw yourself headlong into
trouble." She didn't want to stop him from doing what he wanted as long as he protected
himself.
Leonard nodded, feeling touched. "I will. I promise that something like this will never
happen again."
"Alright. That would put me at ease." Stephanie smiled.
They shared an embrace.
After Alec sent Paul his food, he left the hospital with Jenny. Paul didn't need someone to
look after him, and Leonard had Stephanie by his side, so it didn't mean much for Alec and
Jenny to stay there.
"So, how did Paul take it?" Jenny was finally alone with Alec. The first thing that she asked
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabout was Paul's demeanor.
Alec smiled wanly. "Did you really think that he would press charges against Stephanie?"
"Who knows?" Jenny pouted. What if Paul wanted to use that to force Stephanie to return
to his side?
"Don't worry. He'll let it go. In fact, he won't even bother Stephanie anymore, " Alec said.
Jenny was surprised to hear that. "Can he really do that?"
"You already said it was even. And since it was, there's no need for him to keep pestering
her." Alec pulled her into his arms as he spoke. He'd seen too many couples break up to
know that ending up with the person he loved was no easy feat.
Jenny didn't know what he was thinking. But when she heard that Paul was willing to call it
even and would not bother Stephanie anymore, she was glad.
