Seeing that neither John nor Simon showed any sign of apologizing, Ivan’s tone suddenly sharpened.

“Apologize! Apologize to Lily, right now. Then get the hell out and stop interrupting her recovery!”

“Move.”

John was done with Ivan blocking his every attempt to approach Lily. His face darkened as he shoved him aside and strode straight to her bedside.

In his eyes, Lily had only married James out of spite. That union was in name only–it was never real and never would be. To him, she was still his girlfriend, and he had no tolerance for Ivan constantly standing in their way.

He ignored Ivan completely and turned his gaze toward Lily.

The fury in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a heavy, aching regret.

His voice, low and hoarse from the weight of his guilt, trembled as he spoke.

“Lily, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have judged you based solely on Wendy’s words or that fabricated evidence. I’m sorry. I won’t make that mistake again. I’ll go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and file for divorce from James. Let the Luke family leave first–I’ll stay here and take care of you, okay?”

James had already made up his mind to divorce Lily and wanted nothing more than to be rid of her. Naturally, he had no interest in interfering with whatever John was saying now.

And yet… hearing John speak in that raspy, desperate voice, trying to win Lily back, left James strangely unsettled.

A sharp, invisible needle seemed to stab into his chest, disrupting his every breath.

He forced himself to look away from them both.

The discomfort he felt, he told himself, wasn’t about Lily. It had nothing to do with jealousy or attachment. He just didn’t want to see her get fooled again–nothing more.
