Leo got nervous. Since Sharon was hurt so badly, he wanted to tell this to Lydia after bandaging her up.
However, hardly had he said to Lydia when she came down.
They looked at each other. There was a puzzled look on Lydia’s peaceful face, ‘Why does such a beautiful woman come to our home at midnight?
Lydia was high-headed. There were only a few women she deemed beautiful, and Sharon was one of them.
But soon, she noticed a pool of blood, becoming serious about this, “Who is she…”
Leo stood up at once and introduced, “She is my sister-in-law.”
“Sister-in-law?” Lydia frowned and weirdly glanced at Leo, then saying with a smile, “Hello, I’m Leo’s wife, Lydia.”
“Sharon Bell,” said Sharon briefly.
As she looked in indifference, Lydia came to the point and said coolly, “Are you injured?”
“I’m okay. It’s just a small injury,” said Sharon in a low voice. Then she got up from the sofa, “Sorry to trouble you. I’ll go right now.”
After saying that, she stood up with a sharp pain, walking towards the door.
Leo worried about her. When he was about to speak, Lydia said peacefully, “Hold on.”
Sharon looked back at Lydia in astonishment.
Lydia got a bit angry, blaming Sharon, “You are hurt so badly. You can’t go.”
“Why not?” asked Sharon, raising her eyebrow.
“Come in with me.” Lydia glanced at her. Then she turned and walked towards a guest room.
However, Sharon still stood at there, “I’m here just to tell something to Leo. Now I’ve told him so I have to go.”
Lydia’s eyes got cold and she said seriously, “I think you’ve misunderstood. I let you stay here just out of my kindness.”
What Lydia had said was like a command, which made Sharon get nervous and then fall silent.
At this time, Leo added, “Just stay here. Even if Lydia didn’t say this, I would let you stay here, too.”
Slightly biting her lip, Sharon responded, “All right. Thanks.”
Lydia didn’t say anything, taking Sharon to a guest room.
It was late at night when Leo and Lydia went back to their room.
“Lydia, I…” Leo still felt sorry for Lydia and wanted to explain.
Lydia gave him a glance, peacefully saying, “She is your sister-in-law, isn’t she?”
“Yes.” Leo confusedly looked at Lydia. He had no idea why she asked this question.
Lydia said with an inexplicable smile, “She is beautiful.”
Finishing her words, Lydia turned over and cuddled Emilia, going to sleep.
Leo got more confused and perturbed. He softly climbed into bed and slept.
He knew that Lydia must had perceived something.
