Betraying the Sincere Wife, Regretting Till the Last Breath

Early the next morning,Leon appeared at by Julianne's door.It was rare for him to come so early.There were dark circles under his eyes,as if he hadn’t slept all night.

“Jullie,”he walked to her bed.“I had checked the security cameras related to the incident yesterday.It was true that Silvie spilled the soup herself.I’ve already told her not to trouble you again.”

Julianne looked calm.She only frowned slightly.“You don’t need to tell me that.I’m not interested.”

“I know you’re still angry,”Leon didn’t hear the distance in her voice.He thought she was just upset about yesterday.

He pulled a chair over and sat down beside her.“Today I’m not going anywhere.I’ll stay here with you.”

“I said I don’t need you.”Julianne lowered her head and looked at her phone,clearly impatient.

Yet,Leon acted as if he didn’t hear her and stayed seated.

An awkward silence filled the room.So,he tried to find something to say.“You’re still weak.Do you want to sleep more?I asked the nurse to make some soup for you.”

Julianne didn’t respond.She didn’t even look at him.

Leon felt uncomfortable,but he still forced himself to continue.“I’ve told the staff at Blue Tech about your condition.No one will disturb you these days.What do you want to eat?I’ll have someone buy it.”

“No need.”Still just two cold words.

Leon’s eyes fell on the necklace around Julianne’s neck.It's black paint shone coldly in the morning light.Without thinking,he reached out to touch it.

Julianne suddenly raised her hand and slapped his away.The movement wasn’t strong,but it was full of disgust.

“You think you deserve to touch it?”Her voice was icy.

Leon’s hand froze in the air.It felt like something stabbed his heart.He had never seen Julianne look at him like this before.There was no love.No sadness.Only pure hatred and disgust,as if he were some dirty trash.

After the pain,irritation rose in his heart.He frowned and spoke in anger,“Julianne,how long are you going to keep this up?It was just one child.We can have another in the future.Silvie is terminally ill.She doesn’t have much time left.Can’t you be more understanding for her?”

Julianne acted as if she hadn’t heard him.She didn’t even bother to look at him.To her,his words were only ridiculous and cruel.

Seeing her ignore him,Leon felt even angrier,but he couldn’t just let it out.After a moment of silence,he softened his tone.

“Silvie will have her final full checkup tonight.The doctors want to see if her condition has gotten worse.They said if it’s bad,she might only have a few days left.Jullie,don’t fight with her anymore.It’s not worth it.”

Julianne’s fingers suddenly froze.A strong sense of unease rose in her heart.

Leon stayed in the hospital all day.Sometimes he tried to talk.Sometimes he just sat and watched her.

Julianne completely ignored him.Suddenly,in the evening,Leon’s phone suddenly rang.

After he hung up,his face changed.His lips trembled slightly.He looked at Julianne with a complicated and struggling expression.

“Jullie…”he said with difficulty,his voice full of hesitation.“The test results are out.Silvie’s condition has a chance now.If she gets a suitable kidney transplant,she can live.”

Julianne’s heart sank.Her unease reached its peak.

Leon took a deep breath,as if making a huge decision.“The doctors said that matching kidney donors are extremely rare.And right now,the only person who matches Silvie…”

He paused.

“…is you.”
