Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1005: She Called for Justin Xavier

"Leah, it’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to the hospital right now." Simon Ford pressed hard on Leah Thorne’s injured right cheek.

But it seemed it couldn’t be stopped; the blood from the wound kept flowing out.

So much blood.

Leah’s pupils kept dilating, she handed the voice recorder to Simon and then tightly held his hand, her voice weak and powerless, "Daddy... Mommy... I did... great, right?"

Simon nodded continuously, holding back the tears in his bloodshot eyes, "Yes, Leah, you did great."

Old Master Xavier confessed to all the sins committed by the Xavier family in this voice recorder and even planned this accident. It was enough; she did it perfectly.

Leah forced a smile, her lips stained with blood trembled twice, she suddenly frowned, "Pain... so much pain..."

"Leah, where does it hurt?"

"Face hurts... my face really hurts..." Leah said while raising her hand to place it on her flat stomach, "Stomach hurts... my stomach hurts too..."

"Leah, hang in there, it will get better, everything will be fine." Simon tightly hugged Leah, now, other than holding her cold body close, he didn’t know what else he could do for her.

Leah had no strength left, all her energy was dissipating, she parted her lips slightly as if to say something.

"Leah, what are you saying?" Simon leaned in closer to listen.

He heard vague murmuring, "Brother... brother..."

Leah was calling out "brother." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Very soon, Simon froze because Leah also called another person’s name, "Ju...stin..."

She called out Justin Xavier... in the end.

...

Leah had a very long dream, she dreamt of her daddy, mommy, and brother, they had all come back.

"Leah, come here, give a hug." Mommy opened her arms to her.

She jumped and ran over, directly leaping into her mommy’s soft and fragrant embrace.

"Daddy, Mommy, Brother, it used to be you all protecting me, now you’re gone, but I can protect you, right?" she boasted proudly.

Daddy reached out with a large hand to lovingly and tenderly pat her little head, "Leah, we know... you’ve worked hard..."

She froze, clearly these were the people she missed most, daddy, mommy, and brother, she should be smiling, but her eyes grew warm, and big teardrops fell heavily.

At this moment, a light and pleasant voice came to her ear, "Leah... Leah..."

Her dense lashes trembled, Leah opened her eyes.

The view was blurry because she was crying in her dream and in reality too.

The pillowcase was very wet, all soaked by her tears.

Leah closed her eyes momentarily then opened them again, she was now in a hospital ward, a faint smell of disinfectant lingered, by her bedside stood a beautiful and elegant figure, Serena Sterling had returned.

At this moment, Serena was wearing a clean white coat, the years had given her more wisdom, composure, and a sense of determined strength, her clear eyes were resting on Leah’s tear-stained little face, filled with heartache, "Leah, hug me."

Serena stretched out her hand and hugged Leah tightly.

This warm embrace, long-missed, made Leah a bit dazed, then she heard Serena speak to her in an extremely gentle voice, "Leah, it’s okay, if you want to cry, just cry it out, you’ll feel better after crying."

Leah’s stiff body gradually softened, she buried her small face in Serena’s arms, and burst into tears.

...

Simon came, bringing a pot of soup, and chattered non-stop, "Leah, this time you were really too lucky, this accident must have used up all your luck. You survived the crash, and with Dr. Summer’s timely arrival and superb medical skills, she pulled you back from the brink, turning danger into safety."

"Next time, you can’t be this reckless again because you might not have such luck again."

"Oh right, Leah, I have good news for you, Old Master Xavier has been arrested, he and Hugh will never come out. I saw Laura yesterday, she’s aged all of a sudden, looking like a lost soul."

Leah listened quietly, without any ripples of emotion inside, these outcomes were always the final destination for the Xavier family, only delayed.

Leah raised her hand, wanting to touch her right cheek.

"Hey, Leah, don’t touch!" Simon suddenly changed his expression, he stood up and grabbed Leah’s small hand.

Leah looked at him, "What’s wrong with you, why such a strong reaction?"

Simon laughed awkwardly, his gaze somewhat evasive, "Leah, your face... got a little hurt, it’s still bandaged, don’t touch it, it might... it might get infected..."

"I see..." Leah curled her lips, "Then give me a mirror to look at, I don’t seem to find a mirror in the ward."

She wouldn’t find one because anything reflective in the ward had been taken away.

"Haha Leah, let’s just focus on recovering, with... with Dr. Summer around, what are you afraid of?" Simon laughed.

At this moment, the ward’s door was opened, and Serena Sterling came in.

Simon immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Dr. Summer, you’ve come, Leah was just asking about the wound on her face."

Serena walked over and examined Leah’s body, "Leah, during the accident, your right cheek was cut by glass shards, the wound is quite deep, it might take some time to heal, then we can determine if there will be a scar."

"But Leah, don’t worry, with advancements in medical science, even if your right cheek scars, I’ll figure out a way to heal it, leave your beauty to me."

With that, Serena opened the vacuum flask and handed a small spoon to Leah, "But before that, you need to get your body healthy, come, have some soup."

Leah obediently nodded, took the small spoon, and started drinking the soup.

But as the chicken soup approached her lips, Leah suddenly furrowed her brows because she smelled the greasy aroma in the soup, which made her feel a bit nauseous.

Leah put down the small spoon.

"Leah, what’s wrong, not in the mood to eat?" Serena asked softly.

"Well, I think... I’d like some plain millet porridge, is that okay?"

"Of course! Absolutely! I’ll go back and have the maid at home make it, Leah, wait for me!" Simon dashed home.

Serena put away the vacuum flask, "Leah, I see this Young Master Ford is quite good to you."

"He and I can only be friends, beyond that, I can’t give him hope."

Serena nodded, "Hmm... President Xavier should wake up soon, Leah, do you want to see him?"

Leah lowered her densely lashed eyes.

"I checked on President Xavier’s injuries, Leah you were pretty ruthless, I’m not sure if I can restore his, uh, happiness for the rest of his life."
