Lis was sitting in her study, like the last time Ramon had seen her in this house and was so surprised when she saw her son enter the room.
"Ramon, how is Hailee?" asked Lis impatiently. She then approached her son and could see how tired he was.
There were dark circles under Ramon's eyes, but those eyes still looked so determined, as if there was some crazy desire that had controlled all of him so that Ramon no longer felt the slightest sense of fatigue, and now Lis could only hope that this would all end soon.
"Hailee is still unconscious," replied Ramon in a toneless voice. He then sat on the sofa in the room and immediately asked Lis to sit across from him.
Lis complied with Ramon's request. She knew that this would happen sooner or later, but she wasn't ready to face this yet, no, Lis would never be ready to face this.
"I know what you're going to say," Lis said in a low voice. She looked down and stared at her intertwined hands, not daring to look Ramon straight in the eye, as if by avoiding looking at Ramon she could escape her son's wrath a little.
"No, you don't know what I'm going to say," said Ramon quickly. He didn't want people to assume what he wanted to say when the other person didn't even know him well.
Yes, Ramon felt that Lis did not know him regarding this matter or any problems that occurred. Because now Ramon realized that what Lis saw in him was his father.
Of course Ramon didn't doubt Lis's love for him, because after all he was her son, but still Lucas's shadow would always follow Lis whenever she looked at Ramon.
"I'm not my father, you should know that," said Ramon. He could see Lis getting flustered as he revealed the truth of what she had been thinking all along. "I'm sorry for what dad did to you and what you had to go through with him while I didn't do anything for you," Ramon continued.
Hearing Ramon, made Lis feel her eyes stinging. Heat coursed through her body as her sadness returned.
"But, that doesn't mean I validate what you did to get out of that problem." Ramon took a deep breath. His head was spinning.
He had not slept or eaten for two days. It was only a matter of time until he finally collapsed, no matter how strong he was, he was still an ordinary human. "And I can't tolerate what Leon did to Hailee at all."
Lis nodded, she understood where Ramon was coming from and had no intention of interfering in the matter. "I know, I understand," Lis replied in a low voice.
"Mom, I will destroy him. I will even kill him and I want you not to interfere in this matter," said Ramon with a sharp tone and cold voice.
He didn't even hide his intentions. The dark side inside him was unstoppable and even Lis could feel his intent to kill from the way Ramon said this.
"That's why I don't want you here for a while," Ramon continued and handed her a white envelope containing her passport and everything Lis would need. "I want you to go away from this town for a while."
Because there's going to be a storm in town A soon and if things get any more complicated, it only meant the Tordoffs and the Dawsons would face each other openly, if they tried to protect Leon.
Because after all, it was Giana who was now in control of the Dawson family and she was also involved in Hailee's kidnapping.
Meanwhile, Ramon didn't care about who reigned supreme in the Dawson family, but Giana and Aileen were the next targets for Ramon to take down once he was done with Leon.
In front of him, Lis stared at the white envelope with wide eyes. She then grabbed it and opened its contents to see where Ramon would send her.
After seeing all the things inside, she sighed heavily and closed her eyes, as warm tears fell down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry for all this Ramon, but mother didn't think that things would turn out like this," Lis said in a trembling voice. If Ramon really wanted her to leave, then she would. "But can you wait until Hailee wakes up?"
"No," Ramon answered immediately.
That short answer really hurt Lis, but she could understand. "Or can I at least take a look at her for a second? I'm going to stop by the hospital to take a look."
Ramon then stood up and said one last time. "No, don't go near my wife." After that he walked away, leaving a sobbing Lis behind.
This may seem very cruel and heartless, but it is for the best, because Lis is too tangled up in her emotions regarding this matter and Ramon doesn't know exactly how far Lis will go if Leon tries to see her again.
Ramon couldn't be sure that Lis would be able to stick to her own principles.
Therefore, this was the right decision; keeping Lis away from this city as well as Leon. Not only was this to lighten the burden on Ramon's mind, but also for Lis's own good.
However, when Ramon reached the door, he turned around and looked at Lis while asking, "Are you sure that father's death was a natural death? That he died of illness?"
Hearing that question, Lis raised her head and looked at Ramon through her teary eyes. "Dr. Bram was around when your father died and he firmly believed it was a natural death." Then Lis's eyes widened slightly when she realized what Ramon insinuated. "You don't think I was involved in your father's death, do you?"
Ramon didn't answer her right away, so the silence made Lis even more sure that that was what Ramon thought she had done.
"Ramon, I couldn't have done that to your father," Lis said hastily.
"You may not, but if it's Leon, it's very possible," said Ramon in a flat tone, with a look that was difficult to understand. "I will find out more about this matter."
After saying that, Ramon didn't wait for Lis' reply and walked away.
