Chapter 208
After lunch, Kylie did not chase Leopold away.
Leopold did not take the initiative to leave either.
He sat on the sofa and watched television.
Kylie was handling her work in the study.
The two of them seemed to be very harmonious.
Leopold sat on the sofa, keeping yawning.
He had been suffering from insomnia during this period of time. Sometimes, he did not sleep at night, but it was not to the extent that he was exhausted.
Perhaps the television show was too boring.
He took out his phone and watched some videos, then read some news.
The news was all about tonight’s Garner Group charity banquet.
As he kept reading, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
Leopold could not help but fall asleep with the phone still in his hand.
Kylie came out of the study and saw Leopold lying on the sofa, breathing evenly.
She had drugged him with sleeping pills.
Since she usually had insomnia, she prepared some sleeping pills at home.
The sedative effects of the sleeping pills took effect faster than she had anticipated.
She thought that it would take at least another half an hour to an hour for Leopold to completely fall asleep.
Maybe he probably did not sleep well last night. When his body was tired, the effects of the medicine would be faster.
“Leopold,” Kylie called out to him.
Leopold did not respond.
He just frowned.
His head was extremely dizzy, and he could not open his eyes at all.
After Kylie confirmed that Leopold was unconscious, she walked towards the door. After taking a deep breath, she suddenly opened it with a panicked expression. “Come in quickly. Leopold suddenly fainted.

The two men at the door looked at each other and did not have much of a reaction.
“Come in quickly and help me send him to the hospital. Who can afford the consequences of his death? Kylie’s voice sounded urgent.
The two men did not have time to think. Kylie reached out to pull them.
They followed Kylie into the room.
They did see Leopold lying motionless on the sofa.
“Mr. Cavanaugh,” a bodyguard called out to him.
Leopold frowned.
He heard someone calling him, but his eyelids were so heavy that he could not open his eyes, even if he tried very hard.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send him to the hospital. If he has a cerebral hemorrhage and doesn’t go to the hospital in time, he will die!” Kylie urged.
Seeing that Leopold really couldn’t be woken up, one of the bodyguards hurriedly carried Leopold on his back and was about to leave.
Kylie naturally followed.
“Miss Stafford, you can’t leave.”
Another bodyguard stopped Kylie.
“I’ll go with you, I can’t just stand here doing nothing! Where else would I go? I wouldn’t feel at ease if Leopold was taken to the hospital by you. If anything happens along the way, we’ll face it together. I won’t run away!” Kylie didn’t waste any time talking with the bodyguard.
She followed the bodyguard carrying Leopold and rushed out of the house.
The bodyguard was stunned for a moment. After some hesitation, he followed her out.
The four of them went straight to the underground garage.
A bodyguard drove, and another bodyguard sat in the backseat with Kylie.and Leopold.
Leopold’s brows were tightly furrowed. It was obvious that he was trying his best to wake himself up.
The sedative effects of sleeping pills typically last for about two or three hours.
Kylie gripped her phone tightly. She was a little nervous.
The car was a little fast and drove straight to the hospital.
Suddenly, there was an abrupt halt. Kylie quickly shielded Leopold.
Although she had schemed against him, she had never thought of hurting him.

“What’s wrong?” the bodyguard in the backseat asked.
“A car ran a red light, and we almost hit it.”
“Don’t worry about it. Let’s go.”
As the car was restarting, two people had already gotten out of the black car in front and stopped them.
“I’ll go take a look. The bodyguard in the back seat naturally noticed it.
He opened the car door and got out.
He wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible and leave.
Kylie’s palms were sweating as she grabbed the door handle.
She watched as the bodyguard got out of the car and took a few steps forward.
Kylie quickly opened the car door and rushed out.
The bodyguard in the driver’s seat noticed it immediately and hurriedly opened the car door to stop Kylie.
Kylie had already gotten into the black car that had been following them. When the bodyguard rushed over, the car had already left in front of him.
His car was stopped by the people in front of him, so there was no way to chase after Kylie.
The bodyguard’s expression was cold. He could only pick up the phone and report, “Mr. Hayden, Miss Stafford has run away.”
Kylie got into Gideon’s car.
Fear still lingered in her heart.
She breathed, adjusting her emotions.
Gideon sat beside her and looked at her with a faint smile.
Kylie frowned and turned her head to look at Gideon. She felt somewhat displeased as she observed him. wearing a smug expression as if he was enjoying this whole charade.
“I’m just impressed by your ability again,” Gideon said. “You managed to slip away so easily under Ethan’s tight surveillance.”
Kylie did not answer.
It was not easy for her.
It was only because Leopold was unguarded against her.
She had schemed against someone who trusted her.

She looked at the incoming call on her phone and chose to hang up.
Kylie followed Gideon and took his private plane to Toville.
He took her directly to the highest level, the private hospital.
“Let’s go.” Gideon said.
“Do you think I should trust you?”
“From the moment you chose to follow me to Toville, it means that you believes in me.” There was a hint of pride in Gideon’s faint smile.
Kylie bit her lip.
She followed Gideon into the hospital.
She knew very well who she was going to see now.
That was Gideon’s grandpa, Alex Garner.
She had never met him, nor had she seen his photo in any news media.
However, she thought to herself that a person who was critically ill wouldn’t have much impact or pose a significant threat.
After all, as the saying goes, “When a person is near death, his words tend to be kind.”
But after she followed Gideon in, she saw an energetic old man.
At a glance, he didn’t look like he was over 70 years old.
At most, he was 60 years old.
At that moment, many thoughts ran through her mind.
‘Did Ethan send me the wrong message, or…
“Miss Stafford, you must think that I should be a dying person.” Alex obviously saw through Kylie’s thoughts.
“It’s just a rumor that…”
“I deliberately spread the rumors,” Alex said bluntly.
“So…” Alex said, “I’m setting up a long-term game.”
“Since you made such a big move, why did you let me know? Aren’t you worried that I’ll betray you?” Kylie
asked.
It was taboo to play tricks when talking to smart people.
“I believe in Gideon’s judgment.” Alex obviously thought highly of Gideon.

“Then what do you want me to do today, Mr. Garner?” Kylie asked.
“Miss Stafford, there’s no need to be nervous. I don’t intend to ask anything of you. I just want to offer you
a peace of mind. If things go well, we will naturally treat you fairly,” said Alex.
“Thank you, Mr. Garner.”
Kylie expressed her gratitude.
In fact, she was not excited at all.
Alex’s words were nothing more than half reassurance and half threat!
