Chapter 184 Lauren's Pretending Tiffany watched Leon remain silent and once again urged him to leave.
"Mr. Cooper, aren't you leaving? I need to rest." Leon was so angry he couldn't speak. He walked to the door without a word.
Just when Tiffany thought he was about to leave, Leon stopped again and turned to look at her, half-lying on the hospital bed.
"Don't regret what you did today." At that moment, Tiffany thought Leon had stopped to stay, but she didn't expect he was just there to warn her.
Regret? She never regretted any decision she made.
"That's not something Mr. Cooper needs to worry about. The person you should be most concerned about now is Ms. Simpson," Tiffany retorted sarcastically, successfully driving Leon away.
Before leaving, Leon didn't even give Tiffany a glance.
Tiffany stayed in the empty hospital room and sighed softly.
This should be the best outcome.
After all, she no longer hoped to have any relationship with Leon. From the beginning, she shouldn't have gotten close to him, or she wouldn't feel so miserable now.
Tiffany lowered her head with a bitter smile and closed her eyes wearily.

He slammed on the brakes and pounded the steering wheel.
Thinking back, why did he have to listen to Tiffany? She told him to leave, and he just left. He was too easily manipulated.
Moreover, Ronald had specifically asked him to take care of Tiffany before leaving the hospital.
If Ronald found out he had just left like that, he would definitely be furious.
Leon rubbed his temples and, after much consideration, decided to return to the hospital, if only for Ronald's sake.
With that thought, Leon quickly turned the car around and headed back to the hospital.
At the hospital.
Tiffany had just gotten out of bed to get swater when an unexpected visitor appeared in the room. "What are you doing here?" Tiffany put down the cup in her hand, frowned, and looked at Ulysses standing at the door.
"Tiffany, I heard you were hurt and cto check on you. How are you now?" Ulysses asked with concern, his gaze falling on Tiffany's injured arm, his brow furrowing slightly.
He took a step forward, looking genuinely worried.
"You shouldn't have gone to save Lauren. She didn't need you to step in; she could have escaped on her own. The kidnappers targeting you was clearly part of Lauren's plan!" Ulysses' tone was both angry and anxious, but to Tiffany, something felt off. "What are you saying?" She grabbed Ulysses' arm, wanting to know what he meant by those words.
"Can't you see it? She's a core member of Global Nexus Corporation. How could Lauren get caught by kidnappers? You should know that by now." Ulysses continued, "And the kidnappers contacting you specifically shows that it was all part of Lauren's plan. Think about it, who contacted Leon to show up at that moment? Why did he appear? Lauren wanted to drive a wedge between you two, deliberately making Leon show up. If I'm not mistaken, Leon would definitely choose to protect Lauren. Judging by your expression, you seem a bit disappointed." After Ulysses' analysis, Tiffany began to recall the events.

And why would the kidnappers be willing to work for Lauren? That would lead to a prison sentence, not something easily done.
But Ulysses' words made sense, and Tiffany felt a chill as she thought back.
She was genuinely worried about Lauren. Even if a stranger asked for help, Tiffany would choose to assist, let alone in a life-threatening situation like Lauren's kidnapping. But now, it seemed her concern was a joke, and she was being played like a fool. "Actually, it's simple to find out the truth. Just go to the police and ask the kidnappers, and you'll know everything. I just don't want you to get hurt. Don't believe anything Lauren says from now on. But I can't control Leon's choices. If he can make you sad, then I believe he's not worthy of you. So, can you leave him?" Ulysses' voice grew softer, lacking the courage to continue, but he said it all anyway. Looking at Tiffany, he saw her eyes downcast, clearly still hesitating.
"Tiffany, I know your feelings for Leon are complicated. But if he truly liked you, even with memory issues, he should instinctively protect you, not choose someone else, right?" Ulysses' words pierced Tiffany's heart like needles.
But it was laughable.
Even Ulysses understood this, yet Leon's choice...
"Ulysses, I know what to do. I have no feelings for Leon now. To me, he's just my ex- husband." Saying this, Tiffany turned to lie back on the bed, but in her distracted state, she didn't see the chair in front of her and twisted her ankle.
Ulysses quickly caught her, immediately concerned, "Tiffany, are you hurt?" Tiffany shook her head.
Ulysses helped her to the bed and filled her cup with water, handing it to her.

She glanced at her phone and then looked up again, saying, "It's getting Youshould go, Ulysses." Read later the latest chapter there! "But you're here alone..." Ulysses frowned, reluctant to leave.
Tiffany was about to say something when the door was forcefully pushed open by leon. "She's not alone, so can you leave now?" Leon said coldly, his tone unfriendly.
Ulysses was surprised by Leon's appearance.
Tiffany was equally shocked.
She thought Leon had left in anger. Why was he back so soon? "What are you doing here?" Tiffany asked, puzzled, only to be met with a cold glare from Leon.
"He can come, but I can't? Or is my presence disturbing your ttogether?" Leon suppressed his anger, lowering his voice to shout.
His inexplicable words made Tiffany uncomfortable.
She knew she and Ulysses were innocent, with nothing between them.
Besides, with Ulysses' age, she would only see him as a younger brother.
"Tiffany, it seems I've upset Mr. Cooper. I won't disturb your rest any longer." Ulysses didn't argue with Leon and left after saying this.
The room fell silent, and Tiffany felt i e uneasy under Leon's gaze. Unable to hold it in she asked.
"So, Mr. Cooper, why did you cback?"
