Chapter 705 Extra Story 16 Of Sean And Cloris (1/2)

In the wee hours of the morning, two men met on the roof, standing under a half-moon and a scattering of stars.

Cloris quietly followed, trying to listen in on what they were talking about, but she could not hear anything because of the distance.

She yawned sleepily, not paying further attention to them. Suddenly, the two men broke into a fierce tussle.

Cloris, piqued, squinted her eyes to get a closer look, feeling a strong urge to stop them from fighting. But before she could do anything, she recognized and watched Leon staggered back and fell off the roof.

”Leon!”

A hoarse scream shot out of her mouth. Shaken by what she had witnessed, Cloris felt goosebumps run over her entire body, rendering her senseless.

Meanwhile, Sean, who just then realized that Cloris had caught the whole thing with her own eyes, found himself momentarily frozen in an incredulous expression before he scrambled to explain himself. ”I didn't mean to... it was an accident...”

But Cloris didn't even look at him. She turned away and ran downstairs in an instant, while Sean followed her down.

Fortunately, the Lu family's villa wasn't a very tall building, as a result, the fall from that height couldn't have been fatal. But because of the garden right below, the withering plants in winter left sharp branches all over the ground, one of which pierced through Leon's back.

When Cloris ran to the garden, she saw Leon lying on a pool of his own blood, impaled with a thick branch, coughing out blood. In the grip of panic, she screamed, ”Leon!”

Blood gushed out of his wound and poured out of his mouth, as Leon struggled to form proper words. ”I'm...all right. Don't...worry...about it...” Halfway through his words he coughed and clenched in excruciating pain.

Crying like a madwoman and gasping in horror, her words came in short breaths, ”You're going to be fine. Listen to me, I promise, you're going to be okay! Just don't talk, okay? I'll get the doctor and we'll get you fixed up right away!”

Leon looked at her frenzied urgency and gave her an unexpected smile. ”My sweet Miss Cloris... It's such a lovely sight to see the concerned expression on your face. I would love to see it a little longer if you don't mind. It makes me feel needed...”

He looked at her diligently with tender eyes full of love and affection.

”Then look at me a little longer, and don't close your eyes...” Cloris tried to hold back her tears, ”There are not many people in the world who can make me nervous. You are lucky to be one of them...”

Neither of them expected that this would be their last farewell.
