CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 346: WIFE, I ETCH IT IN MY HEART

Does she still need anyone to tell her?

Was she too naive, waiting for him anxiously in the hospital, worrying something might have happened to him?

He’s Leon Keane! His Bugatti Veyron alone costs a fortune; even if there’s an accident on the road, he wouldn’t get hurt.

Ivana mocked herself inwardly.

How did she find out? Does she still need to ask? Wasn’t it Julia who told her? Did he personally tell her?

In that case, why pretending not to know now?

Ivana laughed mockingly, "Leon, you really have a short memory. You and Julia told me yourselves! It’s not even 24 hours, how could you forget?"

Leon pointed at himself in surprise, "I told you? When did that happen? I don’t know about this!"

Ivana was speechless. He had admitted it so straightforwardly in Julia’s bathroom. How come he changed his story now in the ward? Is this Leon in the bathroom and the ward not the same person?

"Leon, are you trying to tell me you have a split personality?"

Leon’s dark eyes turned cold instantly.

"I really don’t know, but I will investigate to find out what exactly happened."

"Do as you wish."

Ivana didn’t want to waste words with Leon, so she closed her eyes to sleep.

Suddenly, she felt someone squeezing beside her, and the person even had the audacity to turn sideways and hug her, their warm breath spraying onto her face.

Ivana’s body resisted!

She had to open her eyes, "Leon, don’t do this, I don’t share a man with other women."

Leon wasn’t angry, instead he looked deeply at Ivana and then suddenly smiled, "Honey, are you jealous?"

Ivana sneered, "Don’t flatter yourself! Who’s jealous of you?"

Leon laughed, "You... you are jealous for me."

Ivana’s pale face blushed slightly, "Nonsense."

Leon happily hugged her and kissed her forehead twice, "Honey, you look so cute when you’re jealous. I really like it."

Ivana thought: That’s enough!

After his joy, Leon restrained his smile and said slowly, "Today, I went to Julia’s ward..."

Ivana’s heart tightened heavily, she felt like she was suffocating, especially unacceptable to hear about Leon in Julia’s ward. She suddenly didn’t want to hear it, didn’t want to hear the stories of what happened between him and Julia in the ward.

Leon continued, "But don’t misunderstand me, there’s nothing between me and Julia, it’s just because her brother, Kyle, found me. He said they were attacked in the ward, so he asked me to check on Julia."

Ivana was startled, attacked in the ward?

Who would be so bold as to enter a hospital to attack someone?

Ivana was quite surprised that Leon went to see Julia for this reason.

"It’s true I went with Kyle to Julia’s ward, but Julia wasn’t there; she disappeared. Kyle was very anxious, fearing it was done by the attackers again, so we split up to look for Julia."

Ivana was confused, looking at Leon’s serious demeanor, it didn’t seem like he was making up a story.

She really couldn’t figure out how Leon could have ended up showering in Julia’s ward under such circumstances?

Even if Leon found Julia first, wasn’t he worried that Kyle would return to the ward and find his sister with Leon...?

Ivana felt that ordinary people wouldn’t do such a thing, let alone Leon?

Could it be... she misunderstood Leon?

Ivana blushed, if it really was a misunderstanding, she’d be thoroughly embarrassed.

"Kyle found Julia first, I found the siblings later, and then I realized my phone was lost. It turned out Kyle had picked it up, and that’s why I didn’t answer your call."

"You clearly answered."

"I did not."

Leon answered firmly.

Alright then!

Ivana didn’t argue with Leon, she directly took out her phone and opened the call log, it clearly showed her call to Leon’s number, and a connected call.

The evidence was irrefutable.

Leon’s handsome face instantly cooled down. Could it be that the call was... answered by Kyle?

Seeing Leon’s expression, Ivana’s heart raced. If the call wasn’t answered by Leon, then it was... by Julia’s brother... Kyle?

But why would Kyle’s voice be identical to Leon’s?

Ivana said, "I think you should thoroughly investigate Kyle, see if he can imitate your voice?"

Leon was reluctant to investigate Kyle because the young man had been frail since childhood, narrowly escaping death countless times, living a hard life.

"I understand."

Ivana frowned, why did Leon’s words sound so perfunctory?

Leon didn’t hold back from Ivana, he told her about Julia pretending to faint. He held Ivana’s hand, interlocking his long fingers between hers, grasping it tightly.

"Honey, no matter what Julia thinks, no matter how much she likes me, the only person I like is you. The only person I want to spend my life with is you."

Ivana’s cheeks reddened and burned, Leon’s heartfelt confession made her feel like a lovesick schoolgirl, really unable to resist his words.

"I hope you will forever remember the words you said now."

"Honey, I will engrave these words on my heart."

The next day.

At a little past five in the morning, Leon’s mother was awakened by the ringing phone. She had gone to bed very late last night, left unsettled, unable to sleep until dawn, torn between either compromising with her son or not.

Ivana was hard to accept.

But if she didn’t give money to Lucas Pierce, given her father’s temperament, he wouldn’t let it go either.

Leon’s mother reached for the phone, intending to hang up and turn it off before going back to sleep, but seeing it was Mr. Pierce’s call, she was startled wide awake.

She couldn’t hang up or turn it off.

Otherwise, Mr. Pierce would surely storm into Mount Cygnus Hospital.

"Dad, why are you calling so early?" Leon’s mother complained a little.

Mr. Pierce was getting on in years, sleeping only four to five hours a day, waking up by five in the morning, but Leon’s mother hadn’t reached that age yet, she needed her sleep!

"It’s already five fifteen, and you’re still sleeping? No wonder you’re in poor health and need surgery; you sleep too much. You should learn from me. I only sleep three to four hours a day, I’m full of energy, and I’ve never had surgery or been hospitalized."

Poor health from too much sleep?

What nonsense, right?

Mr. Pierce wasn’t usually this ridiculous, but whenever it came to anything involving his beloved grandson Lucas, he completely exposed his eccentric nature, able to do anything.

Leon’s mother deeply understood Mr. Pierce’s character, and it was hard for her, but her struggle was her own burden; Mr. Pierce wouldn’t be moved by his daughter’s discomfort.
