Chapter 134: Chapter 134: What Do You Mean by That?
Don’t think she doesn’t know, that shameless mother and son duo Ivana Monroe and Timmy, were later beaten by the people Mrs. Yang brought over.
How did Kiki Jennings find out? Because she was the one who provided the hospitalization information to Mrs. Yang.
"Stop." Leon’s mother called out coldly to Leon Keane: "Ian just got discharged and hasn’t returned to the Kane family’s old residence, yet you are so eager to leave? Is the company more important? Or is Ian more important?"
The latter part of Leon’s mother’s words were spoken through gritted teeth, especially the word "company".
She’s not a fool, she knows Leon is eager to leave not to head to the company, but to see that "wild bird" outside.
Leon’s mother is extremely angry, but for Leon’s dignity, she refrained from voicing it directly outside the hospital.
"Leon, darling, it’s okay to handle matters at the company later, listen to Auntie and take Ian to the old residence first. Look at Ian’s weak state, and Auntie came back in a hurry, didn’t sleep at all last night, staying up late is really bad for her health at her age."
Kiki Jennings played the good person, softly persuading Leon Keane.
See, how considerate Kiki is? She knows staying up late is harmful, she understands the hardships of an elderly like her.
Unlike that "wild bird" outside, who can’t go a night without seeing Leon and tries every way to call him over. An hour ago, the phone rang, and the call Leon went to take outside was from that "wild bird", wasn’t it!
Don’t even dream about it, even if all the women in the world were gone, she wouldn’t let such a catastrophe enter her Kane family’s door to harm her son and grandson.
Moreover, her son is so outstanding? Socialites in Ravenswood are itching to marry into the Kane family.
Leon glanced at Kiki and slightly furrowed his brows, suddenly feeling a bit repelled by Kiki. If she had good intentions, she should persuade his mother, taking her back to the Kane family old residence, instead of saying things that make him uncomfortable.
"I’m fine, as long as Grandma accompanies me home, Dad is a man, he should prioritize the company’s business, let Dad go handle his work!"
Little Ian Keane, beside Leon’s mother, timely spoke to relieve Leon Keane.
"Ian is so sensible, Dad will go to the company and come back to accompany you." Leon Keane said gently to Ian Keane.
"Dad doesn’t need to rush back, having grandma at home with me is enough, too many people around will make me feel stifled." Ian Keane scrunched his little brow, that woman had hurt her forehead and had been hospitalized for several days. How can she manage with only Timmy Monroe by her side?
He had to let Dad go take care of that woman.
Only then could he be at peace.
Ian Keane furrowed his brow deeper and deeper, what’s happening to him? He can’t believe he’s so uneasy about that woman?
She’s not even his biological mom, so why is he worried about her?
Leon Keane saw Ian Keane’s alternating furrowed and frustrated expression, and seemed to have an inkling of what the little boy was thinking. Leon Keane’s thin lips curved into a smile.
That’s good, the child learns to worry about others.
Leon Keane turned and left.
Kiki was so anxious she almost jumped, looking several times at Leon’s mother, whose face was also very unpleasant, but she didn’t stop Leon Keane again.
Kiki secretly gritted her teeth, Leon’s mother was so fixated on spoiling Ian it was crazy; Ian’s words were like an emperor’s edict, whatever he says, goes.
Leon’s mother didn’t even resist a bit.
"Grandma, I’m tired, let’s go back!" Ian Keane said coldly.
Leon’s mother regained her composure, no longer looked at Leon Keane’s departing figure, hugged Ian Keane in distress, and said lovingly: "Okay, okay, Grandma’s darling dear, Grandma will take you back to the old residence to rest."

After Ivana Monroe and Timmy Monroe finished breakfast, Leon Keane hurried over.
Seeing the President had arrived, Derrick Stern and Secretary Sullivan wisely left the hospital room, giving space to the President’s family of three.
"Sorry, things happened suddenly yesterday, I didn’t have a chance to tell you." Leon’s dark eyes were filled with apology, he didn’t tell her not just because it happened suddenly but also because Ian called too late, not wanting to disturb Ivana Monroe’s rest.
One person worrying is better than three.
"How is Ian now?" Ivana Monroe asked urgently.
Timmy’s clear eyes were also intently focused on Leon Keane, seeming very anxious about his answer.
"He’s fine now, already discharged this morning." Leon took note of Ivana Monroe’s concern and was surprisingly pleased.
"Why did Ian faint?" Timmy Monroe hadn’t forgotten about it, he asked Leon Keane.
Leon’s dark eyes turned to Timmy, seeing the boy’s anxious little face, and he showed a gentle smile, not hiding anything from Ivana Monroe and her son, and said: "Last night, your brother Ian heard about the car accident with you and Mom, just like Dad, he was very worried about you both."
Timmy’s eyes immediately rimmed with red, his childish voice a bit hoarse: "Dad shouldn’t have told brother Ian about such things."
Ivana Monroe felt a shock in her heart, thinking about that boy who looked exactly like Timmy, he actually fainted from anxiety because of her and Timmy?
Ivana Monroe couldn’t express her inner feelings at the moment; they were very complex, and after a while, those complex feelings turned into heartache.
She felt heartache for that child.
Leon Keane looked at Ivana Monroe, seeing the tenderness for Ian in her eyes, his mood further improved.
Kane family’s old residence.
Leon’s mother stayed in Ian Keane’s room until he slept.
She softly walked out of Ian’s room and saw Kiki standing at the doorway. The girl had been up all night, her face pale, dark circles visible, her eyes filled with bloodshot streaks, yet still persistent till now; such a sensible and virtuous girl is rare.
Leon’s mother had a sudden thought, if Kiki married Leon, it wouldn’t be bad, at least she truly cared for Ian, unlike that "wild bird" outside, selfish and treacherous.
"Kiki, you’ve been here since last night, staying with Ian, right? It’s tough on you, good girl, go and rest!" Leon’s mother gently took Kiki’s hands, patting her hand softly.
Kiki was flattered and quickly shook her head: "Auntie, I’m not tired, now that Leon isn’t home, I want to help him watch over Ian, Auntie hurried all night on a plane and car, Auntie should rest first!"
Leon’s mother was moved, this girl knew how to be considerate, the Kane family should seek such a daughter-in-law.
At this moment, Auntie Chamberlain also chimed in: "That’s right! Miss Kiki said it well, madam has worked hard, please rest first! President Kane, by the looks of it, might return very late."
Auntie Chamberlain sighed heavily.
Leon’s mother frowned, thinking Auntie Chamberlain’s words implied something, and coldly said: "Auntie Chamberlain, what do you mean by that?"
