Betrayed, Contract Marriage with Mr. Devil のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

Chapter 131Morning came sooner than Leon expected. Sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtains, falling softly on Giselle’s face as she slept soundly. Her breathing was steady, her expression calm, far from all the burdens that had haunted her in recent times.Leon had been awake for quite a while. He sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a simple home T-shirt, silently watching Giselle. There was a sense of relief he could not quite explain. Not because of what had happened the night before, but because Giselle’s presence beside him this morning felt real, not like a dream that could disappear at any moment.Leon stood up quietly so as not to wake her. He adjusted the slightly loosened blanket, then stepped out of the room.In the dining room, the atmosphere was already lively. Mrs. Hansel sat at the main seat, reading the morning news on her tablet. Diego and Gesha sat facing each other, each focused on their breakfast. Small laughter occasionally filled the room.Leon walked in

The sound of monitoring equipment echoed rhythmically in the room. Bright white lights glared down as Giselle slowly opened her eyes. Her head felt heavy, her body weak, as if she had just been pulled back from the depths.“Leon…” she whispered.The next second, her eyes widened. Her breathing became frantic. Memories of the violent impact, the screeching brakes, and Leon’s arm shielding her body flooded back without warning.“Leon!” Giselle screamed in panic.A nurse immediately rushed to her side. “Ma’am, please calm down. Take a deep breath.”Giselle shook her head violently. “Where is Leon? Where is my husband?” Her voice trembled as her hands clenched the bedsheet.A doctor entered the room, wearing a white coat with a serious yet composed expression. “Mrs. Giselle, I am the doctor in charge of your case.”Giselle immediately sat up despite the throbbing pain in her head. “Doctor, how is Leon? Please tell me he’s fine.”The doctor gestured for Giselle to lie back down. “You still

Chapter 136The car engine hummed softly as Giselle pressed the accelerator harder. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning pale. The city streets blurred beyond the windshield, not because of rain, but because her eyes were filled with restrained panic.“Diego… where are you…” she murmured.Her phone on the dashboard caught her attention again. There were still no incoming messages. No news from Joe.Giselle took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. As a doctor, she was used to emergency situations. But this was different. This was not an unfamiliar patient. This was a child she already considered part of her family.She grabbed her phone and dialed Joe’s number immediately.Joe answered on the second ring. “Young Madam.”“Joe,” Giselle said tensely. “I need your help right now.”“I expected this,” Joe replied calmly, though his tone was serious. “Tell me.”“Qiara took Diego away. I need you to track her using your connections.”Joe paused briefly. “Und

Chapter 138That morning, the air in the hospital felt colder than usual. The ICU corridor was still quiet, with only the occasional sound of nurses’ footsteps passing by. Giselle stepped out of the elevator with a weary face, yet her eyes held a hope that had never faded. Her doctor’s coat hung neatly over her arm, her hair tied simply. She had barely sat down since last night, but she did not care.Her steps stopped right in front of the ICU door.She took a deep breath before entering.Leon was still lying on that bed. His face was pale, his body surrounded by medical equipment that beeped softly and steadily. The monitor beside the bed displayed the line of life that continued to move, as if it were the only reminder that the man was still holding on.Giselle walked closer slowly.She sat on the chair beside the bed, then reached for Leon’s hand, which felt cold in her grasp. Those fingers were still the same as she remembered—strong, long, and once always holding her possessively

The intensive care room was still the same as before. Silent, cold, and filled with the sound of medical equipment working tirelessly. Giselle had been sitting beside Leon’s bed since early morning. Her eyes were swollen, her face pale, yet she continued to stay there.Her head was lowered, her forehead resting against the edge of the bed. One of her hands tightly held Leon’s hand, as if she was afraid that once she let go, Leon would truly leave.At some point, the exhaustion finally overcame her. Without realizing it, Giselle fell asleep beside Leon.In her sleep, she felt something warm touching her lips.At first, it was faint. Soft. Slow.Giselle frowned, then slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was still blurry, but her heart suddenly raced when the figure before her became clearer.Leon.That face was so close. His warm breath brushed against Giselle’s skin. Leon’s lips were pressed against hers, gentle yet real.“Leon…” Giselle murmured reflexively.But before she could say any
