Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 259

Nighttime at the hospital.

Leonard arrived as usual to give his daily update. After he finished, the man lying quietly in the hospital bed, who had listened in silence until now, suddenly spoke up.

"How's my wife been lately?"

Leonard, caught off guard, kept his face expressionless. "She's doing well."

Lysander fell quiet for a moment, then asked, "You went over there last night. Did she ask you anything?"

With his hospital stay keeping him away, Lysander had Leonard visit Crimson Gardens every evening to keep tabs on things. If anything happened, Leonard was the one to report it.

Knowing full well that Mrs. Montgomery wasn't at Crimson Gardens—so no matter what, she couldn't possibly know-Leonard could only steel himself and try to imagine how she'd respond.

"She didn't ask."

"...And her mood?"

"I think she's okay."

Lysander's brow furrowed. His gaze fixed on Leonard, those fox-like eyes growing dark and inscrutable. After a long pause, he finally let out a cold, mirthless laugh.
