Chapter 131

In the Lion Garden, feeling somewhat exhausted, Yvonne withdrew her hand.

She staggered slightly backward, but luckily, the big lion behind her provided support, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Lifting her head, Yvonne saw Richard standing stiflly in the distance, completely frozen.

Her expression flickered slightly, and a hint of guilt flashed across her delicate face. She instinctively clutched at her clothes, a bit unnaturally.

She wanted to say, “Oh, I’ve been caught. Well, never mind. Time to act cute.”

Spreading her arms, she spoke in a soft, delicate voice so sweet it could melt hearts.“Richard, I want a hug.”

Richard forgot how to walk. For the first time in his life, he moved awkwardly, stepping with the same hand and foot like someone undergoing physical therapy.

He tried to keep his voice steady, but the age–worn timbre still trembled slightly, betraying his emotions.

When he finally spoke again, his voice was hoarse and choked with emotion. “Yvonne… you saved my life.”

He was already a man with one foot in the grave. His children were grown, and he had little left to worry about–except for the tigers and leopards he had personally raised.

If they had died, Richard couldn’t even begin to imagine the guilt he would have carried.

The remainder of his life would have been filled with endless regret and pain.

His body was tense, his aged arms etched with the marks of time.
