A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

“I promise you that I’ll bring you to see her once she gets better. So, Leony, for the sake of your savior, please give her some time, okay?” Along with the tears streaming down her pitiful-looking face, her sad voice could evoke everyone’s compassion.

In the end, Leo withdrew his hand, but it was not because he felt distressed for Elyse. It was because he was afraid that… Big Eyes was back.

How could he stand to hurt Big Eyes, who donated her cornea to him?

As such, he walked toward the living room with Michael and Elyse following behind him. When they looked up, they saw that Leo had not left but stood in the living room with his back against them. His hands were sagging before him, and he seemed to be exuding a sad aura.

Having known him for so long, Elyse had never seen him so dejected and was shocked.

Michael nudged her, asking her to say something. “Leony…” She hesitantly called him.

“You should know what I’m capable of. If this is all a lie, you’d better come clean!” After warning them, Leo disappeared through the entrance.

It was not until they heard the car engine gradually disappearing that Michael clutched his chest, moved a few steps back, and plopped down onto the couch like a pile of mud.

Meanwhile, Elyse was not faring any better. Her face was ashen, and she had broken out in a cold sweat. She was gripping the metal armrests of her wheelchair to stop herself from falling over.

It took her a while before she slowly made her way to the closed door and opened it with a key, revealing an empty room.

“El, have you gone mad? How could you lie to Leo about this?” Michael got up from the couch and made his way over to Elyse with difficulty. He supported his waist while heaving. “Do you know how much danger you’ve put us in earlier? I was almost scared to death!”

“It’s not the first time, anyway! What’s there to be afraid of?” Her voice was now ice cold, and her expression had returned to normal.

On the other hand, he looked pale after being exposed.

“Didn’t I ask you to get a decoy?” Elyse questioned in dissatisfaction, “Why is no one here?”

Michael sighed and replied, “How do you expect me to get a woman in such a short time? You should be lucky I was quick-witted and locked the door. Or else, we would’ve been toast.” He kept wiping the sweat on his forehead.
