Chapter 6 Leo

Sally Frank didn't speak. Back at the hotel, Gabriel Hardy went straight into the study, while she went to take a shower and went to bed. I have a lot of pain and dreams. …… The next morning at 9 am, the plane returned to Oakland. Instead of Gabriel Hardy taking her back to work as usual, Sally Frank took a taxi and went straight to Sky Park, a neighborhood in the west of the city. Whenever Gabriel Hardy is away, whenever she has time, she will come here to spend her time away from home. Because this is her real home. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strong smell of smoke. Sally Frank immediately frowned, went to the windowsill and pushed open the window. "Mom, how many times have I told you not to smoke at home? It's not good for Leo. Why don't you always listen?!" Adriana Ball came out of the kitchen, put out half of the cigarette in her mouth and threw it into the trash can. "What's wrong with that? It's already silly. Does second-hand smoke affect it?" "Mom, Mom!" At that moment, a thin, pale child staggered out and fell into Sally Frank's arms. The tender voice was a little hoarse because of lack of strength. The child is very beautiful, not like Sally Frank, nor like Abdiel Barr. Adriana Ball glanced at Leo Frank and asked strangely, "Have you been with Gabriel Hardy too long?"? Why do I think this little fool looks more and more like him? "Mom!"! What are you talking about? Sally Frank's temper is much more restrained now than before, but she can always be stimulated by her mother's mean words. She bent down to pick up little Leo and kissed him on his pale face with heartache. Then she heard a milky voice explaining, "Mommy, Leo is not a little fool." "Of course not. How can Leo be a fool when he is so smart and sensible?" She carried little Leo into the room and dressed him. "Be good, Mommy will take you to the hospital for an injection." Little Leo nodded sensibly, "But Mommy, how many injections do I have to have?" Congenital diabetes, lives on weekly insulin injections. Sally Frank has no answer to the question of how many more injections she needs. However, this is not the most terrible, the most terrible is his leukemia, although the condition is not serious, can be treated by drugs, but no one can guarantee that one day it will deteriorate, if there has been no suitable bone marrow transplantation, waiting for him will be endless pain and abyss. …… Gabriel Hardy had just returned to his office when he received a phone call from his mother saying that the old man had suddenly fallen ill and was sent to the Central Hospital for emergency treatment. "I heard that the old man wants to change his will. If you don't go back to inherit the group, he will give the whole company to Gary Hardy." Gary Hardy is the child of Gabriel Hardy's father and a woman outside. Three years ago, his mother died of illness, and he was claimed back by the Hardy family. At first, it was not publicly acknowledged, but later it was changed to surnamed Hardy because it saved the old man's life. The old man didn't like him, but he didn't hate him either. Gabriel Hardy refused to inherit the company, and Gary Hardy was the natural choice. But once Gary Hardy took over the group business, the situation of Gabriel Hardy's mother and son in the Hardy family can be imagined. A crying voice came from the other side of the phone. "You don't know Gary Hardy's ambition. Do you really want to watch him drive our mother and son out of the house?!" "All right, I know." Gabriel Hardy hung up and rushed to the hospital as quickly as he could. San Francisco Hospital。 Sally Frank got out of the taxi with little Leo in her arms. Little Leo wore a small cap with a low brim, and the sun shone on his white side face. His thin chin was even more morbid, but it was still hard to hide the natural delicacy of his facial features and contours. Mother and son went directly to the pediatric department after registration. The director of pediatrics is Sally Frank's best friend, and every time she injects insulin for little Leo herself. Every time after the injection, he would sigh that little Leo was clever and sensible, but unfortunately, the fate of such a lovely child was so bumpy. "Still no match for bone marrow." Hallie Hess sighed. "Why don't you contact the Abdiel Barr?"? If he is the biological father of the child, the probability of matching will be greater. Sally Frank's heart missed a beat when she heard Abdiel Barr's name. "What if it's not?" Hallie Hess knew what she meant. She tilted her head and smiled. "It's better to find the biological father of the child." Finding Leo's biological father is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the degree of difficulty is no lower than finding the right bone marrow. Sally Frank sighed and nodded helplessly. "I'll try." "I'll take you down, just in time for me to go out and buy something." Hallie Hess waved to Leo Frank, who was sitting on a stool in a daze. "Leo, come here. Aunt will carry you down." "Thank you, aunt, Leo can walk by himself." Leo Frank got up and staggered over, holding Sally Frank in one hand and Hallie Hess in the other, winking and smiling faintly. When the elevator reached the lobby on the first floor, Sally Frank led Leo out. After a few steps, she saw Gabriel Hardy in the crowd. He was dressed in plain black and his eyes were cold, and his indifferent eyes swept over from a distance. Sally Frank was so frightened that she immediately released Leo's hand.
