Chapter 119: I Was the Target From the Beginning

Seeing the murderer charge toward Lilya and Ryan with the sharp knife pointed at them, there was only one thought left in my mind: I had to protect the two children no matter what.

I trembled, my feet unconsciously stepping forward as I muttered,

“No, don’t do this...”

Leo grabbed my hand, panic filling his eyes.

“Ella, don’t act recklessly.”

But every word Leo said became nothing more than muffled noise in my ears. I could not hear a single thin

    Chapter 123: End Things With Me and Go Back to HerLeo looked at me, his gaze slightly evasive.I knew that asking this question right now was truly putting Leo in a difficult position, but I could not continue remaining lost in uncertainty like this, fully aware of everything yet still stubbornly throwing myself deeper into it.This relationship had never been real to begin with. Everything was just an act we performed for others to see.Now things had become even more awkward than before. Even if I wanted to keep pretending, I no longer could.Bianca was not at fault. She had her own suffering too.I could not blame her, but we also could not possibly live together in the same house like sisters and pretend nothing had happened.“Leo, I can’t treat her like air and continue living there. The moment I walk through that door, everything will become unbearably awkward. You know that too, don’t you?”Leo sighed. He gently held my hand and quietly replied,“I didn’t bring her home.”Leo’

    Chapter 122: Come Back to MeLina looked at me with sympathetic eyes. She sighed before saying,“Alright then. No matter what you decide to do, I’ll support you completely.”Fortunately, Lina already knew that my marriage with Leo was only a contract, so accepting all of this was easier for her.Perhaps during these past months, the best relationship I had gained was my friendship with Lina.Of course, I had also developed feelings for Leo that I could not deny, but that was something I had to let go of.Every time I thought about it, all I could do was smile helplessly and blame myself for failing to control my own feelings.Lina held my hand and cautiously asked,“But Lilya and Ryan... are you really planning to leave just like this without even saying goodbye to them? Those two children love you very much.”I shook my head and smiled helplessly before replying,“I shouldn’t continue disturbing their lives anymore. Let me stay at your place tonight. In a few days, once I find somewh

    Chapter 121: The Contract Between Us Should EndTogether with Sumire, I quietly went down the mountain to pack up our things. When I left, Leo and Bianca were still cooperating with the police to give their statements.Although the ending was not as perfect as I had wanted, at least the children were safe, so this could still be considered a good outcome. I took out my phone and texted Lina, asking her to send a car to pick us up.Tonight, I probably should not return to Leo’s house. Their family had reunited, and me inserting myself in the middle would only feel awkward.Sumire looked at me cautiously and asked,“Where are we going?”I smiled, picked up Sumire’s backpack, and replied,“We’re going to Aunt Lina’s house. Tonight the three of us can watch movies together.”Leaving so suddenly like this also made me feel uncomfortable. Bianca had returned, and I no longer knew what would happen to me from now on.There were still many belongings of mine left at Leo’s house. I would proba

    Chapter 120: Bianca Has ReturnedIt took me quite a while afterward to calm down. Looking at the family of four finally reunited like this, it probably was not appropriate to disturb them. I let out a sigh, trying to compose myself again before turning to the two stunned police officers behind me.“Hurry and call for backup. Call an ambulance too.”After the police officers left, I slowly walked over to inspect the teacher’s injuries and performed some basic first aid. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and was not life-threatening, though she had lost quite a lot of blood.I glanced at the murderer lying collapsed on the ground, and suddenly a question surfaced in my mind.“Was it really just a coincidence?”Why had the murderer not kept hostages to escape, but instead wanted to kill people? And if he truly wanted to kill someone, would the teacher’s injuries really have been this minor?I sighed and pushed those thoughts out of my head.“Anyway, this isn’t something I should worry

I could not hear a single thing clearly.I knew he was someone rational. He would only act after ensuring safety with certainty. But I could not stay rational like that. There was no longer enough time left to calculate anything anymore.I only knew that if I did not rush forward, I would regret it forever.Then my body no longer felt like it belonged to me. I felt myself desperately sprinting forward until my breath nearly choked in my throat.I screamed, feeling like I wanted to tear everything apart.“No!”Only then did I

    Chapter 118: DangerAfter agreeing with me, Leo calmly turned to Anessa and said,“Inform the police that we’ll be joining the operation. Go prepare something to ensure Ella’s safety.”Anessa froze for a moment, clearly unwilling, but in the end she could only lower her head and obey.I knew Anessa was someone fiercely loyal to Leo. My stubbornness right now might drag Leo into a danger no one could foresee. I had worried about what would happen if Anessa tried to stop us at all costs or if Leo refused to agree with me.But it turned out everyone trusted me far more than I had expected.Seeing them trust me like this made my heart feel strangely warm and uncomfortable at the same time.Leo’s feelings for me had grown deeper than I thought, and so had Anessa’s trust in me. Was it really alright for me to simply accept all of this?Sooner or later, I would leave without any lingering attachment. When that day came, would the people who gave me their feelings feel hurt and betrayed?I tr
