Chapter 21 - 20: A Person Shrouded In Mystery
"Let me go out for a brief while."
"Denied!"
Aaron immediately shot down his request without any hesitation.
"Why? I promise, I will return! Please it won't take long 30 minutes is enough!" Leo begged him, he would really be stressed out if he didn't meet Kyle and his father before leaving today.
"Its dangerous outside and you already are injured. Just take some rest, we have a long journey ahead," Aaron replied as he shook his head and once again brought out the screen from his smart link and began surfing around the Galactic Net.
Leo looked at him and sighed, "At least give me my smart link."
Even if it was from a distance, he really wanted to get in contact with Kyle.
"It broke when you fell to the ground," Aaron's words really stressed Leo and he became dejected.
'Nothing is going the way I want ever since my trip. Did I got cursed somewhere?' Leo wondered as he sat down on the couch holding his head.
A few minutes passed and he felt his tensions level rise until veins began to pop out on his face.
Suddenly, he got up and began walking towards the locked door.
"Where are you going?" Aaron asked in confusion.
"I need to go out at any cost," Leo muttered as his aura shot out and he punched towards the door.
"Bang!"
"Idiot!" Aaron immediately rushed towards him and grabbed his wrist before Leo could throw a second punch.
The skin on his first had broken after the first punch leaving behind a bloody imprint on the door.
"Let go.." Leo tried to shake his hand out of his grasp but Aaron didn't let go. He looked at Leo with complicated feelings and had never seen him behave like his. There was no more trace of the obedient guy he once knew. It was as if he was rebelling against his past self.
….
"You better not get get away from my side.." Aaron looked at Leo and warned him. H
In the end, he had no choice but to consent to it.
Leo literally had gone crazy. If he brought him back like that, only god knew what kind of storm he would cause back at home.
Hence, it was better to get Leo to come along with his own choice. In that situation, even if he refused to acknowledge them as family, he would still behave like a normal person.
"Why are we at a hospital?" Aaron asked looking at Leo when they finally arrived in front of hospital.
"You said you won't ask anything if I allowed you to come along," Leo said looking at him. If he had a choice, he really would have liked to come alone.
Aaron's face turned nasty as his brother's refusal was something very knew to him, but in the end, he didn't further ask anything.
Leo went at the reception as Aaron stood in the distance looking at him and making sure not to lose the sight of him.
When Leo returned, his face was really looking grave. He looked at Aaron before leading him to one of the upper floors.
"You stand outside, I will call you in later.."
Aaron didn't say much but just looked at the guy and the girl inside the room before looking at the two powerful guards who were stationed outside.
He really was starting to wonder what was going on.
…
"Kyle! What happened?!" Leo couldn't help but tense up seeing Kyle in that state. He seemed to be injured.
"Its fine…nothing serious.." Kyle shook his head.
"What do you mean nothing serious? He almost got himself killed.." Semantha glared at him.
"She is just exaggerating it," Kyle shook his head. "Anyways, I knew you would come here so we stayed around.."
"Where is my father?" Leo asked as he looked at the two of them. He had heard at the reception that the patient in his father's room was missing.
Both Kyle and Semantha's expression changed and Leo couldn't but become even more tensed.
"Actually…" Kyle sighed before finally explaining to him what happened.
"So, the person who saved you took my father away?" Leo asked with a worried look on his face.
Even though that person had saved Kyle, he couldn't be sure that the Viking man wouldn't do anything to his father.
"Here…this was left in your father's room," Kyle suddenly took out a black colored cube which looked like an image recorder. "I haven't seen what's in there.."
Leo took it from him in gave it a deep look before keeping it in his pocket.
"One more thing, Leo. Your father...." Kyle paused a bit and hesitated, but in the end, he still continued, "He might not be a simple person. I will refrain you from look for him."
"Why do you say that?" Leo asked with a frown.
Kyle sighed with a complicated faced as he continued, "My father had asked me not to reveal about the existence of the Viking man to anyone and now it seemed that your father is also being investigated for having some kind of connection with him."
Leo at this point of time had already realized that his father had hidden a lot of things from him. If not for that, he wouldn't be in such a confused state right now.
He would have never thought that one day his father would turn out be a person shrouded in mystery.
Leo didn't have any idea whether he would be seeing his father again or not. He really won't be able to get free of his worries unless he met him once again.
Life had really just in one strike left him with nothing…not even his own body.
But at least his life was intact.
"Anyway, I will be leaving soon…." Leo said with a helpless smile.
Actually, he wasn't leaving but more of being dragged away from here actually.
Both Semantha and Kyle were surprised hearing Leo's words. They after all didn't understand this sudden decision and several question rose in their head like leaving to where, when and how?
But it were all soon answered as Leo could easily guess their thoughts from the look on their faces.
"See that guy?" He pointed his finger towards the glass pane.
Semantha turned her head and could see a handsome guy standing outside through the glass pane.
Aaron waves his hand at them with a smile when he realized that people were inside were looking at him and Leo had his fingers pointed in his direction.
"Who is he?" Semantha asked and even Kyle looked at Leo for an answer.
"This guy's big brother," Leo helplessly said while pointing his finger at his own face.
