I felt dizzy and collapsed softly to the ground.
Through my haze, I saw a familiar figure rush in and punch Henry to the floor:
“You bastard! Being able to marry Leila was your good fortune, yet you don’t know how to cherish her! Today I’ll show you the consequences!”
Two days later, I woke up in the hospital again.
I saw Henry sitting beside the bed, bruises covering his face.
When he saw me wake up, his dim eyes suddenly brightened.
‘Leila, I misunderstood you… I thought you didn’t want to save Chloe.”
I didn’t want to respond. In his heart, I was just a malicious woman anyway.
Seeing my silence, he leaned in urgently:
‘Leila, please talk to me, okay?”
I closed my eyes impatiently. “Get out.”
Henry’s expression instantly darkened, but he stubbornly remained seated.
ust then the hospital room door opened, and James walked in carrying a large bouquet of flowers.
Seeing Henry, his beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously.
‘Oh, the scumbag!” he said sarcastically. “I just went out to buy flowers, and you slithered back in?”
Henry shot to his feet, fists clenched tight enough to crack:
‘Sir, please watch your language. I don’t like the term ‘scumbag.”
‘Besides, I’m visiting my wife. It’s none of your business.”
ames placed the flowers on the bedside table and smiled contemptuously:
‘Henry, you’re a remarried man to begin with! Wife? I clearly saw that it wasn’t my fiancée Leila wearing the wedding dress at the ceremony.”
‘Fiancée?!” Henry’s voice pitched higher as he turned to me. “Leila, who is this guy? Explain this to me right now!”

Explain?
I laughed coldly inside.
I’d said so many times I wanted to break off our engagement, but he never took it seriously.
For Chloe’s sake, he’d gotten angry with me, even physically hurt me.
was completely disappointed in this man.
He wanted me to explain? Was he worthy?
ignored him completely, looking weakly toward James: “James, my head hurts.”
ames immediately sat on the bed and naturally took my hand: “The doctor said you’ve had two concussions in a ew days. You need rest.”
His thumb gently rubbed the inside of my wrist in soothing little motions.
Henry’s gaze sharpened: “Let go of her!”
Why should I?” James didn’t even look up. “Because you abandoned her alone before the wedding? Or because you
early killed her over your ex–wife?”
Henry’s expression faltered: “Those were all misunderstandings!”
ust then a doctor pushed through the door: “Mr. Henry, your wife is awake. There are some care instructions I need
o go over.”
Leila, I’ll deal with you when I get back!” Henry threw out this threat and hurried away.
‘he moment the door closed, James suddenly pulled me into a tight embrace.
Leila, Henry’s a scumbag. If you’d told me earlier, how could I have watched him harm you for five years?”
The girl I’ve been thinking about all these years, and I let a remarried man ruin her like this…”
helplessly patted his back. I was the injured one, yet now I had to comfort him.
James, I’m not even upset. What are you upset about?”
Can’t I feel heartbroken?” He buried his face in my shoulder, his eyes actually reddening.
My breath caught!
I taught you from childhood to be fierce with men, but you used it all on me instead.”
pulled out a tissue and handed it over:

“Can you wipe your tears on the tissue?”
He blinked and grinned mischievously as he leaned closer: “You wipe them for me.”
I reached out to pinch his cheeks, and he grabbed my hair in retaliation.
Sure enough, every time we met, we ended up in some kind of scuffle.
Just as I was wondering if we’d fight every day after marriage, he suddenly cupped the back of my head. The next
instant, he pressed me back onto the bed and leaned down to kiss me.
My head falling onto the soft pillow didn’t hurt, but my face instantly burned.
I instinctively responded to his kiss.
His tongue sucked at my lips, his breathing growing much heavier.
The man’s hand covered my chest through the thin fabric. My bra was thin, and my protruding nipples were easily grasped and teased by his fingers with almost no barrier.
Broken gasps escaped my mouth. The kiss left me dizzy, and the sensation of moisture seeping below made me
restless.
Only then did James reluctantly release me, his gaze making me shy.
‘Leila, hurry up and get well.”
understood his implication almost instantly and couldn’t help raising my hand to hit him. He easily caught my fist.
‘I won’t fight with you anymore in the future… as long as you kiss me, I’ll give in to you.”
