I lowered my gaze and shook my head. "No need. Helpkeep it a secret." "Are you kidding me? You..." Jill wanted to say something, but Julian cut her off.
"We'll respect the patient's autonomy. But you know, he is your husband." I understood what he was trying to say. Legally, Leonard had every right to know about my condition.
"I've already given Emma full authority. She can handle everything for me.
"Don't worry. I'm going to divorce him. He won't be my husband for long." "And who's going to be your husband then? This guy with the poker face?" Leonard burst into the room, one arm in a sling, shoving Julian aside. His eyes were red and swollen as he glared at me.

"I've told you already-I'm not divorcing you. I got exposed to radiation to save you. Look at my hand-" He lifted his arm, looking pitiful as he showed off his injury.
Julian stepped forward and calmly removed the bandage from Leonard's neck.
"Mr. Harmon, your hand injury doesn't require an arm sling. Keeping it on might actually mess with your brain functions." Jill and I exchanged glances and couldn't hold back our laughter.
"Alright, Juls, let's make a move. Give them sspace." Jill said, pushing Julian out of the ward.
"I'm not divorcing you. You owe me. Look at my hand! I could be internally injured because of the radiation." He even started fake coughing, clearly trying to play up the .
I reached out and grabbed his hand. "Leonard, thank you. Really.
'But you shouldn't have been so reckless. You're the heir to the Harmon family- "But you're my wife!" he cutoff, pullinginto his arms and nuzzling against my neck.
In college, he used to do this all the time. Sometimes, he was the alpha male who shieldedfrom everything, and other times, he was just a big kid who needed my comfort He really had saved me. Thinking about how he risked everything to cfor me, I felt tears welling up again. Just then, the rest of the Harmon family arrived, with Bob and Ivy rushing in to check on him.
"Only your hand got hurt?" Ivy asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.
The moment she spoke, Mr. Harmon Senior raised his cane threateningly.
I pulled Leonard closer to me, smiling sweetly at Ivy. "Thanks to your prayers, Aunt Ivy, Leonard and I were fine. I'm sure you were at hpraying for us, right?"

Bob coughed and changed the topic. "That wretched woman, Lily. Not only was the baby not Leonard's, but she also had the audacity to kidnap you. ΕΠ It's unforgivable. "Was she working alone? Or was someone pulling the strings? Could someone be plotting against the Harmon family?" Mr. Harmon Senior nodded in agreement.
All eyes turned to me.
"She drugged me. I was in and out of consciousness, so I don't remember much."
"Did you hear nothing at all? Were you out the whole time?" Ivy stepped forward her eyes filled with. anxiety. I shook my head.
Before she could press further, Penelope and another officer entered the ward.
