Love Shattered Me to Pieces

Before I returned to the Brooks family, I was an ordinary nurse who managed to secure a job in the city after growing up in the countryside.

Leo was a forensic expert who concealed his identity as a rich second-generation.

We met and got to know each other in the hospital.

He said I gave him the courage to confront the disapproval of his family, and that I was his little sun.

When I learned that he was the heir to the Holt Group, I felt inferior and subconsciously kept my distance from him.

He held my hand tightly and said that he would never look down on me.

Later, I was recognized by the Brooks family, and it happened that the two families had a plan to ally by marriage. It was the first time that I believed there was such a thing as a destined marriage.

I'd been married to Leo for six years. I wholeheartedly supported his business and tried my best to look after and please him.

Leo would also respond to my love. He took me to the cake shop I had been craving for a long time, did shopping with me, and looked after me when I caught a cold.

I always thought we were in love.

It was not until Ivy appeared that I understood what true childhood sweethearts meant.

On the way to the police station, Leo did not forget to remind Ivy to take care of herself.

I vaguely remember that when I had the flu and went to hospital due to pneumonia, he never called me once.

Leo's love for Ivy defeated me utterly.

As soon as Leo entered the police station, the officer gave him a professional briefing.

"It's a female, about twenty-eight years old, identity unknown.

"The body parts have almost been salvaged. There are more than three hundred and fifty pieces..."

Leo was stunned.

Even though he didn't know who was the victim, he was shocked by the number.

How would he react if he knew it was me?

Although Leo had not worked as a forensic expert for a long time, he worked in a methodical, quick, and precise way with the aid of his muscle memory.

I stood next to him quietly and seemed to travel back to six years ago.

We were like this at that time. He was working hard, and I passed the tools to him.

Everyone said that we cooperated well and were meant for each other.

Who would have thought that Leo was not over Ivy at that time?

The work was hard, and the atmosphere was tense.

The assistant tried to lighten the atmosphere and asked, "Leo, you're as professional as before. You have a child with Nina, don't you? Only you can keep a good shape after being a father."

At the mention of my name, Leo wore a disgusted look in his eyes, his hand trembling a little.

He changed the subject.

"I heard that the body was found in North Street Park. There are a lot of surveillance cameras nearby. Why hasn't the murderer been caught yet?"

The assistant instantly got serious when it came to work.

"That's what we said to the public. Experts concluded that it was not a murder scene. We're searching for the area within a kilometer.

"Speaking of which, the last case was also nearby. A construction site was deserted because of the murder. It seems to be a building of your company..."

Bang!

The tweezers in Leo's hand fell to the ground.

My soul seemed to be lifted up.

Was he going to find out it was me?

"Is there any indication that the victim was pregnant?"

Leo picked up the tweezers in a panic and asked casually.

The assistant shook his head.

"The body is too badly damaged to know at this time."

I stared at Leo, who evidently breathed a sigh of relief.

Was he worried about me?

Impossible.

If he was worried about me, how could he lock me up in the deserted construction site without showing any concern?

Suddenly, Leo's cell phone rang. He looked at the screen and quickly picked up the phone.

"Ivy, you woke up?

"Something happened suddenly. I've asked my assistant to bring the fruits back. If you're hungry, eat first. I'll be back before ten o'clock."

The coldness in his eyes instantly turned into tenderness.

The assistant misheard the name and couldn't help but tease.

"Leo, you care so much about your wife."

With a smile in his eyes, Leo didn't correct the assistant and started to work faster, becoming more focused.

He wanted to see Ivy as soon as possible.

He was looking forward to it with joy and impatience.

I had done this before because I wanted to see him sooner.

Once the body parts were put together, Leo was needed for the rest.

My soul followed him closely. I couldn't help it.

Leo first went into a bakery and placed an order awkwardly. Following that, he went to a shop and compared the photo of the mystery box Ivy sent him with the products.

In fact, I also like these things.

But Leo always said the cakes were too sweet and the mystery boxes were too childish. They were for young girls, not for such an old woman as me.

But now, for Ivy, he overturned everything.

It turned out that he could change his preference depending on the person he was with.

Leo happily carried a few cakes and a large bag of mystery boxes and could hardly suppress the smile on his face. He looked like a lion who had returned triumphantly from a hunt for his children and wife.

As soon as he came out of the shop, he received a call from the assistant.

"Mr. Holt, please come over. Ms. Ivy somehow knew where Ms. Brooks was and went to pick her up."

Leo said coldly, "Since Ivy wants to go, let her. It's a good opportunity for Nina to kneel and apologize."

The assistant said anxiously, "Ms. Brooks didn't come out. Ms. Ivy is kneeling at the door."

Bang.

Leo dropped the cakes to the ground, and his trousers were dirtied. He flew into a rage.

"Tell Nina to drop the idea if she wants to threaten us with her disappearance.

"Ask her to come out right away. If she dares to make Ivy kneel to her, I will kill her."

I listened to his harsh words quietly, feeling sad and funny at the same time.

Ivy pretended to kneel to me, and Leo wanted to kill me.

I had been married to him for six years, but in the end, my love was wasted.
