Leo rushed straight into the house, searching for where Alana was, with a panicked and worried expression. He dashed inside, but his steps halted when he saw Alana grimacing while holding her blood-soaked leg."Alana!" Leo exclaimed, causing Alana to immediately look at him, but she shook her head the next moment."Watch out behind you!" Alana shouted, making Leo turn around. But he was too late as Zade struck him with a baseball bat, causing Leo to fall with blood oozing from his nose."Damn, how did you survive death? Is God really that fond of you?" Zade said, glaring at Leo while tapping the baseball bat on the floor. However, Leo responded with a mocking smile."Besides that, it's also because you're too foolish to make a plan. You're utterly useless in every way. That's why Uncle Reno never took you seriously," Leo said, triggering what seemed like a resurgence of Zade's anger, evident from his tight grip on the baseball bat and his tense jaw."Stop your nonsense because it's us
Leo continued to bow his head, occasionally massaging the bridge of his nose, waiting for the doctor who was handling his wife to come out of the room in front of him."How is she?" Pedro asked, prompting Leo to finally straighten up. Leo then shook his head."The surgery isn't over yet," Leo replied with a worried expression, causing Pedro to pat his friend's shoulder, as if offering support. "What about that scoundrel? Have you taken care of him?" Leo finally asked, prompting Pedro to nod."The police are interrogating him, but I made sure he'll really be behind bars. Now you don't need to worry about anything else, just focus on Alana," Pedro replied, making Leo look back at the still closed door in front of him, then rubbing his rough face. Somehow, once again, Alana had saved his life for the umpteenth time, making Leo feel utterly useless as a husband.Leo's thoughts then halted when the awaited figure finally emerged, the doctor coming out with sweat on his face."How is my wif
Slowly Alana opened her eyes, and the first thing she felt was the stiffness in her back, accompanied by a slight throbbing in her head, making her grimace. However, as she attempted to lift her hand, Alana immediately shifted her gaze sideways, where her hand was still tightly held by someone who was now sound asleep beside her.Alana then tilted her face slightly, observing how Leo slept soundly next to her, his weary face at peace, still holding her hand tightly. Alana felt relieved, her husband was indeed in good condition. She reached out her hand and lovingly stroked Leo's temple, causing him to immediately open his eyes wide and sit up, seeing Alana had already opened both her eyes."How are you feeling? Is anything hurting?" Leo asked with concern, causing Alana to shake her head."I'm fine, just feeling a bit sore in my back," Alana replied, prompting Leo to sit up straight."Wait a moment, then I'll call the doctor," Leo said. However, Alana immediately grabbed his arm."No
Leo walked down the narrow and dimly lit corridor, among several subordinates and the local police chief."Why isn't he talking?" Leo asked the police chief."He's still tight-lipped, not revealing anyone involved in his criminal activities," the police chief replied, causing Leo to grimace and thin his lips. Leo then quickened his pace until he reached a door at the end of the corridor."Can I see him alone?" Leo asked, causing the police to nod in agreement."Of course, we'll wait in the monitoring room. If anything happens to you, we'll come immediately," the police chief replied, prompting Leo to turn around and the police chief to instruct his subordinates to open the iron door in front of Leo.This damp and dark place was truly fitting for a criminal like Zade, Leo thought, as he glanced at a man with handcuffed hands behind him and several bruises adorning his face, slumped despondently in a chair that bound him."Are you alright?" Leo asked casually, making Zade raise his head
After meeting Zade, Leo returned to the hospital to see Alana again. Beforehand, Leo had tidied up his appearance a bit after facing the man who seemed eager to see Leo gone. Not wanting to make Alana suspicious, Leo gently pushed the door open and saw his wife engrossed in a book on her lap. So focused was Alana on her book that she didn't notice Leo's arrival."What book is that? You seem very interested in reading it to not even notice my arrival," Leo asked, making Alana immediately turn to him, then curling the corners of her lips into the sweetest smile for her husband. Although her lips still looked pale, in Leo's eyes, Alana's smile remained the most charming."Where have you been?" Alana asked, prompting Leo to sit beside her."I had to take care of some things," Leo replied."What things?" Alana asked, a little curious."The usual things, there were some tasks I had to finish," Leo replied, reaching out his hand and taking the book from Alana's lap, then placing it on the ni
Since five minutes ago, Pedro had been staring at Leo who was still engrossed with the laptop screen in front of him. He weighed whether to carry out the plan he had been thinking about all night, even having to stay up late to prove his suspicions, or not."Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Leo asked without diverting his gaze from the laptop, making Pedro furrow his brows."Do you have spare eyes somewhere else?" Pedro asked. Because, Pedro was sure Leo had not been looking at him. Then why did he know that he had been continuously observing him since earlier?"Even without spare eyes, my instincts are much stronger," Leo said, irritating Pedro."If there's nothing you want to talk about, you better finish your tasks soon. During this week's leave, don't think I'll take on all your work and help you," Leo said, successfully prompting Pedro to move from his seat. However, just as he stood up, he suddenly sat back down, making Leo, this time, look at him with raised ey
Selena knocked on Leo's office door once, then entered as usual. She found Leo sitting in his large chair, staring in her direction. It seemed Leo had been intentionally waiting for her, prompting Selena to pull up a chair in front of him and sit down."What's up, did you call me?" Selena asked, causing Leo to lean forward slightly, resting his chin on both palms, staring at Selena intensely, making her feel as though Leo's gaze was scrutinizing her."Is there a problem?" Selena asked again."Are you looking for a document?" Leo suddenly asked, making Selena's heart race. Selena didn't know how Leo could know about her plans. She had been planning to search his office, but why did Leo know first, Selena wondered."What document are you referring to?" Selena asked, making Leo maintain his expression, looking at her."I don't know, I don't know what document you're looking for, but I saw it on the CCTV footage. It seems you've been repeatedly entering the document room. Is there somethi
For the past two days, Alana had been back home, her wounds waiting to heal even though they still occasionally caused discomfort. Alana then walked to the front door of their large house to wait for her husband's return, but after fifteen minutes of waiting, Leo's car was still nowhere to be seen. Usually, at this time, Leo was always punctual."Madam, don't you want to wait for Sir inside?" the head servant asked, making Alana shake her head. "No, occasionally I want to greet him at the front door, like most dutiful wives do. I'm sure Leo will appreciate it," Alana replied with exaggerated thoughts, making the head servant smirk at the adorable behavior of the pregnant woman in front of her. Then, the gate opened, revealing Leo's car, bringing a smile to Alana's face.Alana tidied her hair with enthusiasm, truly intending to welcome her husband's arrival. The car stopped right in front of the house terrace, where Alana was waiting. Leo immediately stepped out of the car, smiling war
