Julianne’s mind went blank.She understood what Leon meant.
“Don’t even think about it.I will never give Silvana my kidney.Leon,get out!I don’t want to see you again!”
Seeing her red eyes,Leon felt a moment of pain in his heart.However,he still continued.
“Jullie,listen to me.I treated Silvana well before because she was dying.Now,as long as she gets a kidney,everything can end.Think about it again,just for our future.”
As soon as he finished speaking,Julianne threw her cup on the floor.“Get out!”
Only then did Leon finally leave the room.
Julianne felt frozen.She deeply regretted why she had chosen such man to marry back then.Now his husband wanted her to give up a kidney for another woman.
That made her scared to stay around in the hospital.So that night,she packed her things and left quietly without telling anyone.Only after she walked out of the hospital did she feel slightly safe.She took a taxi and planned to go home first.
Eventually the ride home caused her sleepiness.She soon closed her eyes.

In her half-dream,she returned to the scene of falling from the building.Silvana used her as a cushion and wanted her to die.Leon just watched from upstairs and never held anyone responsible.
The feeling of despair was so real that Julianne opened her eyes.To her surprise,she found herself in a strange place.
The taxi driver was gone.The person in the front seat had changed.It was Leon.He looked at her coldly.
“I knew you would run,Jullie.You’re so selfish.It seems I have to keep an eye on you.
After the surgery,I’ll let you go.”
A chill went through Julianne’s whole body.Without saying a word,she opened the door and ran in the opposite direction.She tried to call for help on her phone.
Before the she finish dialing,Leon caught up.He grabbed her phone and smashed it.“Jullie,be good.”
Leon and several bodyguards dragged Julianne into a villa.The walls were covered with Silvana’s photos.Julianne knew instantly that Leon bought the place for Silvana.
In the end,Julianne was locked in a room.To prevent her from harming herself,Leon tied her hands tightly.“Jullie,don’t blame me.I have no choice.I can’t just watch Silvana die.”
Julianne closed her eyes weakly.She had underestimated how shameless Leon could be.
At dinner time,Leon sent a maid to bring food.Julianne didn’t even look at it.In the end,the food got cold and was taken away.
“Ms.Cross,you didn’t eat anything.It’d be hard for us to explain this to Mr.Rockfell.”
“He doesn’t care whether I live or die.Don’t worry.”Julianne smiled bitterly.
If he really cared about her,he'd never tie her up and lock her in this basement.

The maid took the food and reported to Leon.“Ms.Cross didn’t eat anything.She said she has no appetite.”
During the time,Leon was discussing the surgery time.He soon paused.He knew Julianne was stubborn.
“Put the tray down,”he said.“I’ll go feed her myself.”
