I’m Someone Else

Chapter 215

Chapter 215

In an instant, Thomas felt both angry and amused. He was mad for becoming the target after Leah failed to communicate with her granddaughter. Ever since he came to the hospital, he hadn’t said a word, but he became her punching bag for some reason. What had he done to deserve this? At the same time, he was amused that Leah chose him as a punching bag out of all the people in the room. It was like challenging the strongest player in the room right away. Was she trying to get herself hurt?

Even though Thomas’ body hadn’t returned to its prime, he wasn’t scared of Leah at all. No matter how strong Leah was, she was advanced in age. She was no longer as gutsy as she used to be.

Thomas expended a little force as he returned the energy that came from Leah’s hand.

Leah was secretly shocked. She had used up all her energy, but Thomas seemed unaffected by it. No wonder Thomas had no mercy for Terrence, for this young man seemed to be quite capable.

Thinking about this, she tried to retract her hand. Since she couldn’t stagger him, she would forget about it for now. She would have all the time in the world to get back at him, after all.

However, Thomas wouldn’t let her have things her way. Who did she think she was, trying to shake his hand just to pinch him, then try to retract her hand when she realized he was unaffected?

Thomas increased his grip, and raging energy spilled forth. “Hmm?”

This time, Leah was stunned. As Thomas’ strength increased, she felt pain as if her palm was about to shatter into pieces. She wanted to resist, but she realized that her strength was like a small creek compared to the ocean of strength that belonged to Thomas. They were on completely different levels!

He had a faint smile on his face as he thought to himself, This old lady seems like she can handle some pressure. Alright, then. Let’s see how long she can endure it without making a sound.

If it was a contest of pure strength, Thomas would never be intimidated. His weakness was his lack of experience in close combat. If they had to fight, he might even be wary of this old lady. After all, his body was far from fully recovered, so he would avoid any fights if he could.

Meanwhile, Leah’s forehead was filled with beads of sweat. It was simply too painful. She thought that Thomas was a young man who only had some basic knowledge of martial arts. She didn’t think he would be this strong!

She had truly kicked a wall. Did she have to speak and beg for mercy? That would be too humiliating!

Quincy and Harrison were veterans, so they could more or less guess what was happening based on the expressions on Thomas and Leah’s faces. They tried to hold in their laughter. They couldn’t believe that she would try to cause trouble for Thomas. Was she trying to die?

“Thomas, do you know this old lady? Why are you shaking hands for so long?” Olivia looked up and noticed that Thomas was still shaking Leah’s hand, so she couldn’t help but ask.

She wasn’t experienced like Quincy and Harrison, so of course, she couldn’t understand what was going on between them. She simply didn’t want Thomas to get into too much contact with Leah.

When Thomas heard Olivia saying that, he let go.

“Whew!” Leah let out a long sigh. She had her granddaughter to thank this time. If Thomas let go of her any later, she wouldn’t be able to bear it, and she would’ve screamed in pain. When that happened, imagine how ashamed she would be! Her granddaughter was still her granddaughter, after all. No matter how cruel Olivia might be, she was still on Leah’s side.

Leah looked at Olivia gratefully, but she was just overthinking it. Olivia had no intention of speaking up for her. If she knew that Thomas was giving Leah trouble, she wouldn’t have said anything.

“Thomas, send this old lady away. No one here is related to her, so it’s not right for her to stay here.” Olivia meant to chase Leah out.

Thomas nodded, then gestured toward the entrance. His intention was obvious—he would personally escort Leah out the door.

Leah sighed. Judging by Olivia’s attitude, she wouldn’t acknowledge Leah as her grandmother, so Leah could only leave for now. When she had another chance in the future, she would work on her granddaughter.

Moreover, Thomas would be personally seeing her off. She was now wary of Thomas. The young guy was extremely skilled in combat, so if he knew that she insisted on staying here, he might do something terrifying to her.

Leah turned around and went out, but she didn’t leave right away. Instead, she called out to Thomas, who was about to return to the ward.

“Hang on, Thomas. I have something to say to you.”

Thomas glanced at her and stood where he was, waiting for her to talk.

“If you know what’s good for you, leave Olivia alone. I know that you may be a little capable, but that’s not important. Crudely speaking, you’re just a driver who used to be in the army. You’re not worthy of Olivia, so stop blocking her way and leave her right now. If you’re still reluctant to go, you’ll be in deep trouble. When the time comes, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

Leah was straightforward about it, and she spoke both nicely and cruelly. However, her last sentence was already a bare threat.

“Hah!” Thomas curled his lips, his face filled with disdain. He had met no lack of people who threatened him, so Leah was just one of many. She said that he would be in deep trouble, didn’t she? She could try if she was bold enough. He wanted to see how she would cause trouble for him!

Thomas had no intention of humoring the old lady, so he turned around and went back to the ward.

“That b*stard!” Leah was pissed by Thomas’ reaction. Didn’t he know who she was and the status she held? Be it overseas or in Capitalis, no one had ever ignored her before!

She was almost enraged to death today. She failed to communicate with her granddaughter, and even Thomas, whom she never considered a threat, had rendered her helpless—twice in a row, at that!

She had planned to get a few subordinates to kill Thomas, but after testing Thomas’ strength just now, she realized the man wasn’t someone she could mess with. If she sent her subordinates, their lives would be sacrificed for nothing.

Leah refused to accept this, but she had no other way. With Quincy around, she didn’t dare act recklessly. She would leave first for now, for she had all the time in the world. She would be taking Olivia away no matter what.

She had already agreed to this marriage arrangement, and the man was the Genius of Capitalis as well. If she couldn’t take Olivia back, it would be an offense to the genius and the forces behind him.

In other words, she had no way of turning back!

It was midnight. Olivia remained silent as she sobbed silently beside Declan’s sickbed. By the looks of it, she wouldn’t be going home tonight.

Just as Thomas was wondering if he should convince Olivia to go back and rest, Quincy walked up to him and said in a low voice, “Come to my office for a bit. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

“Okay.” Thomas nodded in agreement.

He glanced at Declan, who was lying on the bed. Now that he was the person in charge of the Pearson Family, it was about time he reclaimed the things the Pearsons had taken away from him.
