Reborn as the Wife He Killed Chapter 209: The Recovered Pages
The morning sunlight filtered through the gap in the hospital curtains—gentle, yet cool.Livia opened her eyes, looking at Marcellus who was still sleeping by her side.Though fatigue still lingered in his features, his breathing was even, and his complexion looked much improved from the night before.She didn’t have the heart to wake him. Gently, she slipped her hand from his grasp, her gaze full of tenderness and a trace of reluctant affection.In the end, she only left the lightest of kisses on his forehead before quietly rising and leaving the room.As she pushed open the door, a sharp wind swept through the corridor, carrying with it the lingering chill of the previous night.At the end of the hallway, Elias was already waiting, wrapped in a windbreaker, his eyes shadowed with exhaustion from a sleepless night.Their gazes met, neither speaking first.At last, Livia broke the silence in a low voice. “Let’s go.”Without alerting anyone at the hospital, they slipped out through the

The lighting in the hospital room was dim and gentle, while the night outside grew ever darker. The wind still blew, lifting the corner of the curtain as if the turmoil beyond the window was silently intensifying. Inside, however, the three of them fell into a rare silence.Though they had indeed secured a fragment of the “Holy Grail,” they all understood—this victory had come at an almost unbearable cost.“We… can no longer act in the shadows,” Elias said. His voice was calm, yet it carried a weight of pressure that couldn’t be hidden.Livia gave a slight nod, bitterness rising in her chest. Yes, even though they now possessed a fragment, all their previous strategies and plans could no longer be carried out in secret. Eryx would never allow them another chance to strike. Without a doubt, he would further tighten control, block every route, and have them watched relentlessly.What was more unsettling, though, was the sense that—looking back on the entire operation—Eryx hadn’t been ca

It was a long while before the tension in the room finally eased, and the three gradually returned to the main topic.Livia sat up straight, her expression turning serious. She sighed softly before speaking to the two men. “This time, I was too reckless. I should have been more cautious… But at the time, it felt like something was pushing me forward. That obsession—it didn’t even feel like something I could control.”She lifted her eyes to meet theirs, her voice filled with remorse. “I’m sorry. I not only put myself in danger, I almost… dragged you both into it as well.”Marcellus gently squeezed her hand, cutting her off. “You didn’t do anything wrong. We all know the power hidden within that artifact isn’t something we can fully control with reason. You just got… too close.”Elias nodded in agreement, his voice uncharacteristically gentle. “Sometimes, fate shoves people into position with a force that feels almost brutal. You merely took one step ahead of the rest.”Livia listened t
Reborn as the Wife He Killed Chapter 206 – He had lost. Completely.
Outside, the wind howled louder still, whipping up yellow sand that battered against the windowpanes—a silent prelude to the storm about to unfold. Inside the study, the light was dim and heavy.Eryx pressed two fingers to his temple, his brow deeply furrowed, still contemplating whatever it was that Jim had yet to say. Across from him, Jim wore his usual careless grin—lazily drawn yet unable to fully mask the sharpness beneath.“Do nothing,” Jim drawled, repeating himself with deliberate calm. “Since we already know the treasure is somewhere in this region, we just search it slowly, piece by piece. This is our turf. They’re the ones in a hurry—we’re not.”He spread his hands lightly, tone tinged with smug sarcasm. “They thought handing you jurisdiction over this region was a clever move. Turns out, it was a blunder. We can dig as deep as we want here, but them—” he paused, eyes glinting like blades, “they can’t cross the line. The moment they do, we’ll have every excuse to ‘take full

Elsewhere, in the private study of Second Legion Commander Eryx, night had fallen. A faint breeze stirred the air, which was heavy with the lingering scent of tobacco and old leather—thick, oppressive, and unmoving.Behind a heavy oak desk, Eryx sat in a high-backed chair, fingers interlocked, eyes locked in a cold, unwavering stare at the man across from him—a man who wore an expression of careless indifference.Jim. The elusive “ally” who always appeared at critical junctures, yet remained outside the bounds of order.“I told you,” Eryx’s voice was low, each syllable laced with sharp-edged frost, “you were to inform me—no, to act alongside Will.”He suddenly stood, eyes narrowing as he bore down on Jim. “Why did you move without permission? Why send Will away? Who was in that cave? Why were Elias and Marcellus both deployed personally? Was it Livia? Did you really—kill her?”Each word was bit out like a blade through ice, his fury erupting in the silence of the study.Jim only shrug

The scene shifted.A faint shaft of morning light slipped through the heavy curtains, falling diagonally onto the cold tiles of the infirmary floor.The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic and a subtle trace of iron, heavy and still.Inside the ward, two beds stood side by side. Livia lay on the left; Marcellus lay quietly on the right.His face was pale, a sheen of cold sweat gathering on his brow. The bandages on his chest had been freshly changed, but a faint trace of red still seeped through. The doctors had said his old wounds had only just begun to heal—yet now, due to overexertion and repeated use of painkillers, the injury had torn open again.Elias sat by Livia’s bedside. He hadn’t slept the entire night, exhaustion etched into his face—but there was also a quiet composure, tightly held in place. He watched her intently, holding a still-warm cup of water in one hand, as if afraid she might vanish the moment he blinked.Suddenly, the person in the bed stirred and slowly
