Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 138

After applying the medication, Curtis gently removed the jacket wrapped around her, hist eyes darkening as they caught sight of her form blouse, revealing a patch of her shoulder. The sight made his blood run cold with rage, and he felt an almost uncontrollable urge to drag Derek back there and tear him apart to vent his fury.

He wanted to peel off Leanne’s soiled clothes. She instinctively recoiled, trying to protect herself.

Curtis took a deep breath to quell the anger inside and softened his voice in reassurance. “It’s just me. You don’t have to be scared. Your clothes are dirty. Let me help you out of them.”

Leanne relaxed her grip and obediently let him undress her. Curtis got a long-sleeved nightgown for her to wear and helped her into bed.

She was unusually docile and silent, lying there with her eyes open, not speaking or crying, like a lifeless doll.

Curtis’ phone rang with a call from Jeremy. Glancing at the caller ID, he picked up.

Jeremy’s voice was heavy with concern. “Curtis, have you seen Leanne today? Her phone’s off, and she wasn’t at the hospital when I checked. I’m worried something’s happened…”

He was on his way to a homecoming party when he heard from Joy, who just returned from a business trip, that she couldn’t reach Leanne, so he rushed to the hospital. Not finding her there and with one of the doctors mysteriously absent, Jeremy had hesitantly decided to call Curtis.

Despite the complicated nature of their current relationship, Curtis’ involvement could make things easier if Leanne was in danger..
