5 Sylvia saw Nickolas walk in and weakly leaned against the headboard . " Honey , you came to see me ? " Nickolas sneered , " So you still remember I'm your husband , huh ? Anyone who didn't know better would think you and Nickolas were the real couple . " Leonardo didn't like that and quickly stood in front of Sylvia's bed to protect her . " Nickolas , what do you mean ? Syl wasn't feeling well . I was just helping you take care of her . I didn't cross any lines . " Besides , you were busy with work all day and didn't have time for her ... " Nickolas glanced at him sideways . ་ ་ " Why did my wife need you to take such close care of her that you even left your own wife behind at the wedding rehearsal ? " Leonardo's face froze , and then he got angry out of embarrassment . " Janice has always been spoiled ! But Syl is different . She has poor health and no one takes care of her ... " " Enough ! " I forced myself up from the ground . " Leonardo , you said I was being willful ? " I pointed at the needle marks and bruises on my wrist . " Just because Sylvia said a few things , you locked me in the basement for four days and three nights , bullied me so badly I couldn't fight back . Is that what you call ' being willful " ? " Leonardo's eyes flickered for a moment , but then he regained his confidence . That's your own fault ! You hurt Syl ... " " I hurt her ? " I let out a bitter laugh , yanked open my collar , and revealed the ugly scars on my shoulder . " What about these ? Did I ask for them too ? " The room fell silent . Nickolas's eyes turned cold the moment he saw my scars . He grabbed Leonardo by the collar . " Did you do this ? " Leonardo shook off his hand impatiently . " So what if I had someone do it ? Nickolas , don't let her fool you ! She just tried to stab me with scissors . It was Syl who saved me ... " " Really ? " Nickolas suddenly turned to Sylvia . 00:42 0.7 % < 5 " Then may I ask , Ms. Powell , where's the injury on your arm ? " Sylvia's expression changed , and she instinctively covered her arm , which was just scraped . I stood up unsteadily , my vision blurring . " Leonardo ... we grew up together ... I thought at least ... you would trust me once ... " My heart ached , and I pressed my chest hard . Menu " Ten years ... Sylvia spent ten years ... making you believe she had heart disease ... but you wouldn't even spare a second ... to look at my wounds ... " But it was too late . I used my last bit of strength to say , word by word , " Starting today ... we ... have nothing to do with each other anymore ... " Before I finished , everything went dark , and I collapsed forward . When I came to again , I saw three people sitting around my hospital bed . Nickolas , Leonardo , and Sylvia , who looked genuinely wronged . " Janice , you're awake ... " Sylvia was the first to approach , her eyes " I'm sorry . It was all my fault ... " I looked at her coldly and said , " What exactly did you do wrong ? " red . She clearly didn't expect that question . Her face froze for a moment . " I ... I shouldn't have ... " Janice ! " Leonardo suddenly stood up . " Syl already apologized . What more do you want ? Don't push your luck ! " My heart felt like it was being stabbed . How ridiculous . I was lying in a hospital bed , barely clinging to life , and he still thought Sylvia was the one being wronged . At this point , he could still stand up for her like that , without a shred of sympathy for me . Leonardo " My voice was weak but firm . " So what if she apologized ? Will my injuries just disappear ? " " You ! " Leonardo was rendered speechless . " Enough , Nickolas said suddenly . ค 06.42 Facebook 0.7 % OPEN > < 5 He stood up and blocked my view . " Leonardo , that's enough . " Leonardo looked at Nickolas in disbelief . Menu " Nickolas , what are you saying ? Sylvia is your wife , so why are you taking Janice's side like that ? " Nickolas sneered , " Did you know Sylvia was supposed to be my wife , but still got so close to her ? But too bad , there's no way for me and her anymore . " Sylvia's face turned pale instantly . " Nickolas ... why ? Didn't we already get engaged ? Is it because of Janice ? I - I can explain everything ... " I knew I was wrong . I shouldn't have let Leon take care of me . I ... " She panicked and tried to grab Nickolas's sleeve , but he shook her off mercilessly . " Yeah , just because of Janice . " The room suddenly fell so quiet that it was eerie . In everyone's shocked gaze , Nickolas turned to look at me , his eyes gentle in a way I'd never seen before . " She is my wife . " This sentence was like a bomb . It blew everyone's mind . Leonardo was the first to react . " Nickolas ! Are you crazy ? Janice is my fiancée ! " " You guys were in the past , " Nickolas said , pulling a marriage certificate from his pocket . " Now , she's my wife by law . " Sylvia screamed , " Impossible ! When did you guys ... " Just five days ago , " Nickolas said loudly , looking at Leonardo . The moment you left Jan behind and took Sylvia to the hospital , I got the marriage certificate with her . " He leaned over and gently took my hand. " Now , please leave my wife's room .
