James quickly arranged my transfer to another hospital, citing the need to prevent “irrelevant people” from disturbing me.
Who that person was couldn’t be more obvious.
But unexpectedly, Henry found us the very night of the transfer.
When the door opened, James was holding a medicine bowl, feeding me the medicine spoonful by spoonful.
Henry stood frozen in the doorway, his gaze fixed on us, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he couldn’t utter a single word.
ames and I exchanged glances and tacitly chose to ignore him.
Henry gritted his teeth, walked in carrying fruit and flowers, his voice hoarse: “Leila.”
He stood beside the bed, his fingers unconsciously tightening: “Can we talk privately for a moment?”
No!” James cut him off coldly. “You’re not welcome here.”
Henry ignored his hostility and suddenly dropped to his knees before my hospital bed with a “thud.”
He kept his head down, not even daring to look at me:
Leila, I’ve made terrible mistakes all these years. Whether you believe me or not, I want you to know the truth…”
lowered my eyes, my tone calm: “I’m not interested.”
le paused but still continued speaking hurriedly, as if afraid of being interrupted:
Chloe’s child isn’t mine–it’s hers with someone else.”
I married her three years ago just to rebel against the Sinclair family… All my protection of her since then was out f guilt.”
When I said I loved you, that was genuine too.”
He was already sobbing as he spoke;
Leila, I’ve completely cut ties with Chloe. Please forgive me, okay?”
closed my eyes and pressed my throbbing temples. My head hurt terribly.
ames immediately understood, gently massaging my pressure points while shooting Henry a sharp look:

“My fiancée needs rest. Take your emotional drama outside!”
Henry acted as if he hadn’t heard, still staring at me obsessively:
“Leila, as long as you’re willing to come back with me, I can change everything you don’t like…”
“Enough! I’ve said countless times we’re canceling the engagement. Why do you keep pestering me?! We’re
over–understand?”
I grabbed the water cup and hurled it at him violently. The cup struck his forehead, instantly drawing blood.
Yet he seemed to feel no pain, instead showing a sickly smile:
“Leila, as long as you can calm down, feel free to hit me. I don’t mind.”
Severe headache suddenly struck. I lost control, grabbing medicine bottles, fruit, vases–anything within reach–and hurling them all at him.
Henry still didn’t dodge, letting blood stain the white collar of his shirt.
James pulled me into his arms, his warm lips gently kissing my trembling eyelids:
“Good girl, Leila. Don’t look and you won’t be upset. Sleep now, I’ll stay with you….”
I gradually calmed down, falling into drowsy sleep under the medication’s influence.
James’s expression darkened. He grabbed Henry’s tie without ceremony and roughly dragged him out of the room.
The moment the door closed, James lifted the metal trash can from the hallway and slammed it against Henry’s
head.
Henry was struck blind for a moment, filthy liquid dripping down his hair.
He trembled as he wiped his face, then rushed forward to retaliate.

staggered into the wall and fell heavily to the ground, coughing up blood.
enry wiped the blood from his mouth and roared:
Psycho! Always resorting to violence–can’t you talk normally?!”
ames looked down at him from above, suddenly showing a cold smile.
‘A complete waste like you who dares hit women wants to lecture me about reason?”
‘When Leila gets stress–induced headaches just from hearing your voice, why don’t you reflect on whether you’re

“I…” Henry suddenly froze, his pupils contracting sharply. “Who exactly are you?”
