Chapter 517
She hoped that Leonard could help to get the Panax ahead of time, but after what happened, Cynthia
knew that she would not be able to rely on the Hines for help, which left her and Leon to fight for Panax
on their
Own.
Meanwhile, in Cynthia’s room.
“Cynthia, I’ll go back to my room now. Rest well!” Leon said, before turning to leave.
“Wait! Leon, I still feel weak from the Jimsonweed just now. Stay and chat with me for a while.” Cynthia

“What? You’re still under its effect?” Leon asked in surprise. He was certain that he countered the
effect completely, but decided that he might have missed something.
“Yeah. Maybe.” Cynthia’s eyes darted away and she refused to meet his eyes. In truth, she was no
longer under the effect of the Jimsonweed and only wanted to spend more time with Leon.
“Maybe I should check your condition again?” Leon asked, not noticing the way she was looking away.
“It’s fine. I’m probably fine. I just want you to stay and chat with me,” She bit onto her lower lip and
flushed.
“Um, I don’t think it’s appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone inside a room.” Leon smiled
sheepishly, finally understanding what Cynthia was trying to do.
“Why so? You got drunk before and I looked after you. I’m feeling unwell right now and is it so wrong to
ask that you stay and take care of me?” She pouted.
“Um, alright then.” Unable to refuse, Leon agreed to stay.
Cynthia laid in bed with her hand gripping Leon’s tightly as though she was worried that he would run
away
as soon as she let go.
Rendered helpless, Leon pulled over a chair to sit next to the bed, before chatting with Cynthia.
Time flew by and soon, the two started feeling drowsy.

away, only to notice that Cynthia was still holding onto him and that trying to pull away would wake her.
‘Whatever. I’ll just wait for a while longer until she is completely asleep before leaving!‘ He thought to
himself and waited for some time. However, he was out and about with Cynthia the entire day.
Exhaustion
along with the wine he consumed earlier began to weigh on him and he fell asleep with his head on the
bed.
The next morning, sunlight shone into the room through the window and Leon somehow found his way
onto the bed during the night. Cynthia laid her head onto his arm and curled up against him.
She was the first to wake up and when she opened her eyes to find Leon’s face in front of her, she
batted her eyes dazedly and realized that something was wrong.
“Ah!” She screamed, coming close to kicking Leon off of the bed.
