A Matter of Wife and Love
Chapter 158

Chapter 158

At Quinn Town.

Leo stood on the balcony of a room in the only large hotel in the area. His hands were in his pockets as he narrowed his eyes to gaze at an unknown point in the distance. A day had passed since he and Elyse arrived here.

Today, she didn't choose to return to the hospital they had stayed in before. Instead, she took him to various tourist spots to sightsee.

Even though this couldn't prove anything, Leo had a feeling that something was wrong.

Elyse had taken his phone away, and she had also removed the telephone line in the room.

Even Elyse turned off her phone and locked it in the hotel safe along with his.

She then set a passcode only she knew.

So, making a call had turned into quite a hurdle.

He was still thinking about it when Elyse walked gracefully in.

She had just taken a shower, so her entire body was fragrant.

She purposefully wore the bathrobe provided by the hotel, thus exposing a large area of dazzling skin.

She was holding two glasses of wine.

She looked down at one of the glasses, a dark gleam rippling in her eyes.

She had gotten Leo here not just for vacation.

She didn't express much of her thoughts as she walked up to him and raised a glass. "Have a drink."

Leo didn't take the glass right away as he looked at her, then at the glass she was raising.

His gaze was naturally deep, and he could observe the tiniest details with just bne look.

Elyse retracted her hand a little. "What's wrong? Are you scared that I might do something bad? Forget it, then."

With that, she turned around to leave.

Elyse's face froze before shifting into an awkward expression.

Still, she obediently stepped back. "Sorry, I was inconsiderate. I just wanted to give you a glass of wine. I'll leave right after you finish the wine." Leo decisively downed the wine in one go.

As promised, Elyse took the wine glasses back to her room.

Once she entered the room, she hastily positioned the glass under the tap and rinsed it.

As if that weren't enough, she then brushed it a few times with some cleaning tools.

When she had confirmed no traces were left, she placed the glass back in its original spot.

She stood in her room, her eyes glimmering in an alluring manner. She looked up at the clock on the wall and counted the seconds silently.

After 2 minutes, she went back to the entrance of Leo's room.

The door to his room opened with just a turn of the knob.

Delighted, Elyse swiftly went in.

She hastily searched the room and saw that the blanket on the bed was already out of place, and there was a

mound on the bed.

Clearly, Leo must have felt uncomfortable and gone to sleep.

Elyse ignored everything else as she quickly pounced onto the bed, pulling the blanket back and hugging the person beneath the blanket right away. The person stiffened.

Elyse's head was covered by the blanket, so she couldn't see properly.

But that didn't affect her actions.

She lowered her head and placed it against the person's face. "Leo, I know you need me. I'll help you right

now."

With that, she hastily went in for a kiss.

She had just kissed the person when she felt that something was wrong.

Elyse felt like her mind was exploding as she attempted to remove the blanket to take a good look.

The person turned around and pinned her down before kissing her aggressively...

After making a great effort, Elyse finally pushed the person away and rolled off the bed at lightning speed.

Her clothes were unkempt, and even her sash was removed.

She looked up at the man.

She was instantly shocked and terrified.

The man on the bed had small eyes and a tanned face. Even drool was coming out of his mouth!

"Who are you!" She screamed in a high-pitched voice as she tugged her clothes tightly.

The man chuckled and was about to say something when she turned and ran out, unable to spend even a

second more with him.

She swiftly returned to her room and slammed the door shut.

Elyse spent a long while throwing up in her room before realizing that Leo had gone missing.

After asking around, she heard from the manager that Leo had gone to the hospital.

Elyse rushed as fast as she could to the hospital, and even from a distance away, she could see him lying in bed with an IV drip attached to him. Obviously, he knew what he had drunk.

Feeling guilty, she didn't have the courage to walk closer to him.

When a doctor passed by, she finally dared to walk over to him. "Leo, why are you suddenly at the hospital?"

Naturally, Elyse knew better than anyone why he would be at the hospital, but she had decided not to admit it no matter what.

As long as she didn't admit it, Leo couldn't do anything to her!

Leo calmly looked up, but he didn't ask her about the wine.

However, he looked at her with such a deep gaze that Elyse felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

After a while, Leo finally sighed and said, "It's nothing."

When the drip had finished, the two slowly walked out.

Two doctors were walking toward them at the same time.

One of them kept looking at Elyse and Leo.

Elyse wanted everyone to know they were together, so she supported him boldly and leaned close to him, creating an illusion that they were a couple. She was initially worried that Leo would refuse to cooperate and push her away.

Surprisingly, he didn't.

Elyse's heart leaped in joy as she planned to replace a place with more traffic so that more people would know they were on vacation together.

While she was deep in thought, Leo's voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

Elyse was so occupied with her thoughts that she didn't hear him clearly. She raised her head and looked at him, asking. "Leo, what were you saying?"

When she had finished asking, she noticed that Leo was pointing at a person. "Don't you recognize her?"

Elyse didn't even think twice as she said, "Yes, she's the doctor who walked past us just now."

As soon as she stopped speaking, Leo's expression instantly turned dark!

Elyse looked at his foul expression, her heart sinking.

She knew something went wrong, but she had no idea where, or how.

"You don't know each other!" Leo exclaimed.

His words puzzled her even more.

"Of course, we don't!" She said matter-of-factly.

As soon as she said that, she felt a tight grip on her shoulder.

Leo's voice was cold like a rock as he said, "So you're not Big Eyes!"

Elyse fell silent.

She was about to explain when she remembered that this hospital was the exact one Leo had stayed in when he lost his sight!

Her back was immediately drenched in a cold sweat!

And her face turned pale as well.

"No, I-I'm Big Eyes." Her mind went blank, but she refused to admit it.

She held his strong fingers with both hands, trying to pry his hand away.

However, his hand was as firm as iron pliers, and his eyes were void of warmth!

Elyse had never seen Leo in such a cold and fearsome state, and she was so terrified that she kept trembling.

The man in front of her was no longer the man who once pampered and treasured her.

He was a demon who just came from hell!

He was too scary!

Elyse was so scared that even her teeth were chattering. Every part of her body was shivering and twitching in fear.

A look of despair appeared in her eyes.

Until...
