"She is fine. It's not that serious. I will pay attention to her. Leena, you'd better not let yourself get drenched after autumn. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to nurse you back to good health." Even though Tom was confident in his professional skills, he certainly did not have the ability to make the dead come back to life.
"Tom, don't scare me! Is it really that serious?" I have been good all these years. I didn't have any major problems. I even rarely get any colds." Leena got frightened by Tom's serious expression. At the same time, she felt that Tom fussed over her too much. As she pondered on that, Leena did not think it was too big of a problem. After all, she had been in good health all these years. She could hop, jump, and run as well as other people.
"Leena, that is because we have been taking good care of you. Just think! We never even let you get wet in the winter all these years. Tom also examines and prescribes you medicines from time to time. Do you think all those pills are candies?" Duke cast a sidelong glance at Leena. He was still angry with her and Edward for their little performance before Tom came in. However, when Tom commented on Leena's health, Duke could not help but pay attention, wondering what he could do to help.
"Oh, yes. I am sorry. Thank you, my dear brothers. I have been too careless and heartless to notice that!" Leena pursed her lips. She had always known that they spoiled her as if she would always remain a little girl. However, she did not truly realize how much she owed them.
"No, Leena. Don't worry about it too much. Just be your good and honest self. We don't ask for much; we only hope that you are in good health. Your safety is our priority." Edward patted her on the back, comforting the remorseful girl. He never considered Leena to be heartless. On the contrary, it was she who had given them some of their happiest moments in the past years.
"Umm. Thanks, Edward. I know that now." Leena nodded her head obediently. Even
the Kompass Group. Within minutes, all top executives and technicians at FX International became extremely busy.
On the other side of the town, Shaun received news of Edward's acquisition. However, two hours had passed since Edward's announcement. Although he wanted to take action, it was too late for him to fight back. Even if he had gotten the information earlier, he could not have come up with solutions. Shaun was no match to Edward when it came to business. Not to mention, Edward had been well prepared for the purchase.
However, Shaun was too arrogant to think so. In his opinion, he had plenty of shares of the department stores that were subsidiaries of the FX International Group. He didn't think he was in much trouble. If worst came to worst, he could exchange the shares with Edward. What puzzled him most were Edward's actions. What was his plan? If Edward wanted to purchase the shares of the Kompass Group so quietly, he must have known that Shaun was buying the shares of the department stores. However, Edward had not taken any response measures. He acted like he had given up the stores.
"Shaun, what will you do? Will your company close down because of this?" Melissa felt anxious about the current situation. Shaun had been her last resort. If he failed, she couldn't imagine the situation she would face.
