Leon nodded in understanding, then with a gesture he asked for Henri's rope. Henri's brow furrowed in confusion, "What's the rope for, Young Master?" "You guys just wait here. I'm going to do something first!" "What do you want, Young Master?" Henri asked, but Leon didn't answer. Leon instead immediately opened the door and got out of the car. Leaving Henri and Cindy who were worried about what the man who was their boss would do. "Sir Henri, wouldn't it be better if you accompany Young Master, let me guard the car?" Cindy asked with a look of obvious anxiety. Leon had almost lost his life once, and Cindy didn't want that to happen again.Okay. I'll catch up with the Young Master. You better move a little bit forward, Miss Cindy. Don't be right in front of this house or the security guard will suspect us.""Okay, Sir. I'll wait across the street!" Cindy pointed to the big house across the street not far from Dion's house."Okay, I'll go first," said Henri, without waiting for Cind

Cindy and Henri were silent, they were racking their brains and making plans. Cindy looked outside, at the residential streets that looked deserted. However, when a car passed by, Cindy suddenly screamed loudly. "I found a way!" "How?" Henri immediately answered what Cindy said. "That! That car!" Cindy pointed at Henri. Henri directed his gaze at what Cindy was pointing at. A pest control car seemed to be getting further away from their sight."Pest control car? Don't tell me we're going to disguise ourselves as...""Yes! That's the way!" Cindy interrupted quickly, she was very enthusiastic about her idea."Okay. That can be arranged."This time it was Leon who chimed in. With money, anything would be possible. What was important now was how they would lobby the driver and workers so that the three of them could disguise themselves with the pest control car."Let's just wait for the car to come back here, then we'll intercept them. Just leave everything to me," Henri replied confi

The butler gave up. He had been influenced by Leon's words. He was afraid that John would be angry with him for letting Leon stay there too long, not going straight to work. He immediately took Leon and Henri to the guest room where Veronica was. However, a voice stopped them. "Wait!" Leon was shocked when he turned his head and found Dion staring at him. Not wanting Dion to feel suspicious, Leon immediately neutralized his feelings, pretending not to know Dion. 'Damn! Why did he have to show up? Shouldn't he be leaving today?' Leon thought angrily."Who are you? Why did you come into my house?" Dion asked while looking at Leon and Henri alternately. Dion felt like he didn't recognize the two people. He was surprised, where did they come from, why suddenly there were two strangers wearing masks and pest control uniforms. Dion also didn't feel like he had called them. "We are pest control officers, sir. It was Mr. John who called us to come to your house." Henri answered it, beca

Feeling curious, Dion crept closer to Leon, and that was when he realized that Veronica was about to be taken away by Leon.

He turned around and was shocked when suddenly Dion pointed the weapon at him. Leon took a deep breath, he didn't move and stared at Dion, watching for any opening to fight back."What did you do to Veronica?" Dion snapped with a red face because it was covered in anger."I should be the one asking, what did you do to my wife."Leon said it calmly, as if he was not afraid and disturbed by Dion's gun pointing. "Wife? A wife who doesn't want the marriage? Vero is my lover. She only loves me." Dion remained firm in his opinion, he did not accept Veronica marrying someone else. "Lover? Who has the stronger status here? I am her husband, not just her lover anymore. She is already bound to me before God and witnessed by many people.

Leon became increasingly panicked as he checked Veronica's weak pulse. Indeed, bad thoughts began to wander through his mind. "Vero! Wake up, Vero!" Veronica's eyes remained closed, making Leon feel frustrated. He could no longer hold back his sadness. Tears flowed freely without being able to hold them back. Competing to wet his cheeks and firm jaw. "Vero, wake up, honey! Don't go!" Leon shook his wife's body, hoping she would open her eyes and smile. However, hope was just hope, the woman's minimalist eyes remained tightly closed."Hurry up, Henri!" Finally, Henri became the target of Leon's anxiety. Henri increased the speed of his car. In his heart, Henri hoped that he could arrive at the hospital on time. Then his employer's wife could be saved soon. Veronica's dress became wetter with the liquid that seeped out.

Leon rushed to stand in front of the door. He waited patiently for the door to open and a doctor to come out to give him news. However, for almost five minutes, the door to the operating room had not been opened. Leon began to get restless. "Oh my God, what is really happening?" Leon muttered with mixed feelings. Leon glanced at the watch on his wrist. In the seventh minute since the door opened, a nurse came out of the room. Making Leon's heart beat faster, his minimalist eyes sparkled with hope, he rushed over. "Nurse, how is my wife?"The nurse who had just come out of the operating room stared at Leon closely. There was a cloud on the face of the woman in white. "Excuse me, Sir. Madam's operation is over. But Madam Veronica is in a coma and no one can meet her yet." Leon's heart seemed to stop beating when he heard the nurse's words. And at that moment a doctor was also seen about to come out. Leon immediately stopped him. "Doctor, how is my wife?"

64. Danger Lurks"Uncle Robert. What else? Haven't I left all the decisions to him? Is there something important there?" Leon certainly wondered in his heart.
