Chapter 50: questionable honesty

"Now tell me," Georgina asked, looking at Leonardo across from her. They were in the dining room.

"I met her," Leonardo said anxiously, avoiding Georgina's gaze.

"Her, who do you mean by her? Is that Zoe?" Georgina asked, curious.

Leonardo nodded.

Georgina smiled faintly. "You left me alone here just to meet her, and then you came back injured... What happened?" she asked, disappointed but trying to contain her anger.

Leonardo shook his head. "It's not as bad as you think... I left you because I knew you needed rest..."

"But why did you have to meet her so late when you could still see her tomorrow?"

"Because I felt like I had to see her right away... Besides, it's for you!" Leonardo insisted, his eyes pleading.

Georgina sighed heavily, giving Leonardo an irritated look. "I don't understand," she said with disappointment, feeling strongly resentful of his actions.

"Okay..." Leonardo sighed.
