Guessing this possibility, Julia felt jealous in her heart, but the jealousy was quickly replaced by joy. If it were really like this, she could rightfully take Leon Keane back.
She was Leon Keane’s first love.
So what if Ivana Monroe had a child with Leon Keane? Ivana couldn’t hold onto his heart, and wasted the spot as his wife. Now that she’s back, it’s ti for Ivana to step aside.
"That’s right."
Julia admitted generously, her words full of provocation.
Ivana remained silent.
Julia heard the sudden silence on the other end of the phone and felt imnsely happy. Was Ivana getting jealous and envious, about to fly into a hysterical rage?
Unfortunately, she wasn’t.
Ivana said calmly, "Bring the phone to the bathroom and let him answer it."
Julia widened her eyes but didn’t dare to do so.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to order around?"
Ivana let out a cold snort, then said, "Julia, aren’t you just trying to tell that Leon Keane is with you and that you’ve had an inappropriate relationship with him? If that’s the case, why don’t you dare to bring the phone into the bathroom and give it to him?"
Ivana added, "As long as you give him the phone and Leon Keane admits it, I’ll divorce him right away and make way for you two."
The bait thrown by Ivana was tempting.
How much Julia longed for Leon Keane to have had a relationship with her, enough to provoke Ivana and cause their divorce?
When Julia was at a loss.
Kyle mouthed two words to Julia.
Julia, as if possessed, read them out: "Wait."
After saying that, Julia regretted it.
She hung up the phone guiltily and looked anxiously at Kyle. "Kyle, why did you do that? Leon Keane would never help ."
If Leon Keane had helped her.
She would have kicked Ivana out long ago, wouldn’t have waited until now.
Kyle said, "Sister, don’t worry, co with ..."
Kyle led Julia to his own ward, which was a high-end single room with an attached bathroom. Kyle turned on the shower.
"Kyle...you..."
"I can mimic voices, I can imitate Mr. Kane’s voice."
This ti, Julia wasn’t surprised. She knew Kyle had the skill of mimicry. If it weren’t for Kyle’s health issues, she would have signed him up for an international voice mimicry competition.
Julia was extrely excited, yet reason hadn’t left her completely: "If Mr. Kane finds out..."
Kyle gave Julia courage: "He won’t. Even if Mr. Kane knows, I’ll take full responsibility. Mr. Kane cares a lot about my health, so he shouldn’t bla ."
Kyle’s words were like a reassuring pill.
Yes! Kyle’s health isn’t good, and from the mont Leon Keane t Kyle, he showed special concern. He wouldn’t make things difficult for Kyle.
Julia made up her mind.
anwhile, over at the hospital.
"Mommy."
Timmy lay by Ivana’s hospital bed, looking at her dejected expression, he felt terrible. He had heard her phone call with his dad, heard everything she said.
Timmy was furious: Dad, didn’t you say you’d be at the hospital with mom soon? Why are you with that woman Julia now? You’re breaking mom’s heart.
And you’re breaking Timmy’s heart too.
Aunt Golding, standing on the side, seeing the pained expressions of mother and son, felt awful too. But as far as Ivana and President Kane’s family matters go, she didn’t have a say.
Hearing her son’s voice, Ivana turned to him, forcing a stiff smile, and gently ruffled his hair, "It’s okay, Mommy’s fine."
Even as she said it, Timmy felt an acute, bitter sadness, almost ready to cry.
Ivana, afraid the little one would overthink, suppressed her own grief and tried to act natural. But she overestimated herself, she couldn’t pretend like nothing had happened.
At that mont.
The phone rang, showing Leon Keane.
Ivana’s heart seed to stop beating at that mont. She pressed the answer button, but no voice from Leon Keane ca through imdiately, instead, it was Julia’s seductive voice.
"Leon, your wife is looking for you."
Once Ivana heard this, her heart instantly turned cold.
Such blatant provocation, what does this indicate?
Tap...tap...tap~
Soone was walking barefoot, followed by the sound of a door opening, and then a shower running.
The shower was turned off.
"Leon Keane" answered the phone, a deep voice asked, "Why are you calling?"
Ivana’s heart felt pierced by a sharp blade: "Shouldn’t I have called?"
"That’s not what I ant."
"Then what do you an?"
A pause from the other side, "Julia and Kyle were injured by two vicious thugs in the ward yesterday. I just ca to see them, honey, it’s pointless for you to misunderstand ."
If the voice hadn’t been indistinguishably like Leon Keane’s, Ivana would even doubt it wasn’t actually him holding the phone.
"Oh? What am I misunderstanding? You’re showering in Julia’s ward. Have I said you’re involved with each other?"
"..."
Kyle had the speaker on, and Julia heard Ivana’s pained voice crystal clear, she was thrilled to the extre, feeling an intense pleasure, as if saying, ’Ivana, you bitch, today’s the day you get yours.’
Julia feared she might lose control and laugh out loud, she raised a hand to cover her mouth, unable to stop smiling.
Ivana was silent for a mont, taking a deep breath, said, "Leon Keane, ours was always a contractual marriage. If you want to end it early, just tell ."
With that, Ivana hung up.
After tossing her phone aside, she pulled up the hospital sheet, covering her face, letting tears flow silently.
How she cursed herself for even caring about that useless man, Leon Keane.
At this mont, at Mount Cygnus Hospital.
Julia and Kyle were both shocked, a contractual marriage?
So Leon Keane didn’t truly love Ivana, theirs was a contractual marriage?
Kyle smirked widely, "Sister, didn’t I tell you? Mr. Kane always had a spot for you in his heart. He didn’t marry Ivana out of sincere emotion; he must’ve been forced."
Forced?
Julia pondered: Who could force Leon Keane? His mother disliked Ivana, she wouldn’t force Leon Keane! The old lady of the Kane family, even more impossible, she was far away abroad.
Could it be Ivana’s elders, shalessly forcing Leon Keane?
Thinking of this possibility.
Julia’s face showed disgust, ’Sure enough, what kind of family produces what kind of scoundrel, Ivana’s family is as shaless as she is.’
Knock knock knock!
There was an urgent knock on the ward door.
Julia and Kyle both jumped in fright.
After entering the ward, Julia was afraid a doctor might mistakenly enter, so she locked the door.
Kyle swiftly deleted the call record, tucked the phone into his pocket.
Julia went to open the door.
Leon Keane’s handso and unparalleled face appeared before her eyes, and Julia’s breath hitched painfully.
