"I didn't do it! Iris, it's not what you think! This is just a misunderstanding. Renee misunderstood what happened between me and Miss Daglesh," Leon did not expect Renee to still have doubts about him and Candice, let alone say it out loud in front of everyone. This completely caught him by surprise and he immediately explained himself. "That's right! Miss Young, Mister Wolf was just treating me. We are innocent and nothing happened. Please don't misunderstand," Candice agreed along. "Treating?" Iris and the others relaxed slightly. Leon was a skilled doctor and cured plenty of people. Upon learning that Leon was merely treating Candice, they found Leon and Candice's words reasonable and started to believe them. "That's not possible! When I arrived, Candice was on the bed blushing and Leon was covered in sweat. How can he be treating her?" Renee questioned. Unlike Iris and the others, she saw Leon and Candice in a suspicious state. There were plenty of points that she
"Miss Daglesh, right? Can you tell us what happened?" Iris's expression darkened and she turned to Candice. "I-" Candice blushed and lowered her head to avoid eye contact with Iris. As Leon guessed, Candice was shy and could not possibly describe what happened if even a man like Leon could not do so. Hence, she stumbled on her words like Leon, unable to say a thing. "Very well! Looks like something's wrong!" Iris was furious. She was no fool and from their reactions, she could tell that something was wrong and the treatment was likely just an excuse Leon and Candice used. Instantly, she was overwhelmed by rage. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her anger and stared sharply at Leon. "Leon, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Leon was her boyfriend and the only man she loved. Out of her love for him, she intended to give him another chance to explain himself. "I have nothing to say. I'm innocent, Iris. After all that we've been through, you should know what kin
"I-" Iris's heart sank when she saw the bitter look on Leon's face. She recalled the past breakup between her and Leon, realizing that she might have misunderstood again. However, Leon refused to explain himself and was feeling guilty. Instantly, she was hesitant about whether she should trust him. "This seems to be the perfect opportunity," Renee glanced at Iris and then at the depressed look on Leon's face. Her eyes lit up with hope. When she found out that Leon had a girlfriend, she was devastated. However, Leon presumably cheated with Candie and this enraged Iris. Iris may just break up with Leon over his betrayal, which meant that Renee would stand a chance of being with Leon. Her heart raced and the despair she felt earlier was now replaced by hope. "Leon, don't be upset. I know what happened between you and Candice was just a mistake. I stand by my point. I like you. So long as you leave your girlfriend and be with me, I won't mind what happened between you and
"I-" Iris was rendered speechless by Renee's bluntness. After all that she went through with Leon, there was no way she would break up with Leon. However, Renee was right that she should break up with Leon instead of forgiving him if she was certain that Leon betrayed her. Instantly, she found herself at a crossroads, unsure of what to do. "Leon, you should make the call. You've made a big mistake and she won't forgive you. Even if she does, there will be a crack in your relationship from now on. Just leave her and be with me," Renee took advantage of Iris's silence and attempted to convince Leon to be with her instead. "I-" Leon's expression darkened. Just as he was about to say something, Cynthia lost patience. "No way! Leon belongs to me and Iris. No one can take him away from us!" Furious, she shouted in rage. Without hesitation, she went up and held Leon's arm possessively, fearing that Renee would steal Leon away. "Who are you?" Renee was taken aback. She did no
"Leon, Iris consented to what's between you and me. I don't care what you think. I'm never leaving your side so you aren't allowed to argue." Cynthia glared at Leon with frustration. She knew Leon well enough to know that he wanted to reject him and tell her to find a better man. She did not hold back and pinched in on the waist to vent her frustration. Leon gasped at the sharp pain in his waist and swallowed his words. To avoid upsetting Cynthia, he shut his mouth to prevent further suffering. "Leon, you have two girlfriends at the same time, and they are both okay with it? Am I hearing this right?" Renee was utterly stunned when she heard what Cynthia said. According to Cynthia, Leon had two girlfriends and they all consented to it. This completely flipped her world around. She was shaken to the core and so was Candice. She gaped at Leon, Iris, and Cynthia in disbelief. "Um," Leon scratched his head awkwardly, unsure of what to say. However, his relationship wit
"Oh, you're right." Iris sobered. There was a time when she was misled by her grandfather and father and broke up with Leon. She was so devastated that she almost died. After what happened, she could not repeat the same mistake and lose Leon again. Not daring to hesitate, she approached and held Leon's other arm like Cynthia did, fearing that Renee would snatch him away. "Leon, I don't care if you've betrayed me. I won't let you leave me and Cynthia..." Iris said nervously, her attitude changing drastically. Though she was still suspicious about what happened between Candice and Leon, she knew that she could not afford to lose Leon. So long as Leon remained by her side, nothing else mattered. Naturally, Ruth, Snow, and Roanne all felt the same as well. After spending so much time together with Leon in the southern region, the three of them became dependent on Leon. Ruth, who was just stirring up trouble, quieted down. She did not accuse Leon further as she did not w
"Yay!" Iris and Cynthia were relieved. Though they knew Leon was a great man who would not betray them, Renee was still a woman as beautiful as they were. This meant that Renee was a threat and they were quite worried. Seeing as Leon did not betray them, they were relieved. "Iris, I'll say this one last time. Nothing happened between me and Miss Daglesh. I'll explain everything to you afterward," Leon said authoritatively. Though he was slightly disappointed that Iris did not believe him, he knew that Iris lacked a sense of security because of the passing of her mother. He could empathize and intended to inform Iris about what happened with Candice when they were alone at night. That way, all problems would be resolved. "Okay, sure." Iris nodded. After Renee meddled, Iris's anger depleted and she decided that she would not question further even if Leon did not explain himself at all. Naturally, it would be ideal if Leon could explain himself. "Miss Daglesh, I was ju
"I-" Renee paled with despair and sadness in her eyes. Casting one last look at Leon, she suppressed her sorrow and walked out of the room dazedly. As she was leaving, Leon recalled something and called out to her. "Renee, wait!" "What? What else do you need?" Renee stopped and turned around to look at him with tears in her eyes. Tears scrolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the cold floor. "Renee, why are you doing this to yourself? With your beauty and status, you'll surely find someone better than me," Leon felt bad for her and sighed, before consoling her. "That's easy for you to say," Renee said bitterly. Not only was Leon brilliant, but he was also formidable despite his young age. His ability was unmatched amongst those his age and it would be impossible for him to find someone as great as he was. On top of that, timing was most important when it came to love and it was never a matter of who was better. She already fell for Leon and his image filled her mind.
