After a long hug, Lydia let go of Leo. Her face blushed like a red apple for being shy and excited.
It was the first time she hugged Leo so passionately before so many people. It was natural for her to be shy.
For quite a while, her heart couldn't rest at ease. She stared at Leo with red eyes and said, "You really freaked me out. I thought you and Emilia..."
Leo was very moved. Lydia hit her head against the wall partly because of the pressure from her family; however, the main reason was that she thought Leo was dead, and she didn't want to live, either.
That was the perfect wife that every man wanted.
Thinking of that, Leo held Lydia's cold hands and held them tightly.
"You scared me so badly. Don't do that next time!"
Leo said this earnestly. Lydia was everything to him. When he was told Lydia had killed herself, he almost melted down due to desperation.
"Okay."
Lydia nodded gently raised her chin to look at Leo. A smile emerged on her face. "I didn't know you cared about me that much."
Leo was stunned, and then he found Elena and Marie were looking at him with intriguing smiles and coughing. Leo then turned his head back in embarrassment and whispered something.
"Of course I care about you."
Lydia heard him, but she didn't say anything. The smile on her face grew brighter.
"Dad swore just now that he would take me to find Mom."
Emilia stood on the bed and joined in their conversation. She raised her chin and looked up to Leo, saying, "I'll find someone like Dad when I grow up!"
Everyone in the room was surprised at what Emilia just said.
"I remember she's just five years old, right?"
Elena couldn't believe it. She winked at Emilia and gave her a thumbs up, "I root for you!"
Marie also smiled, but her smile looked a bit bitter.
Since she couldn't win Leo's heart, she could only give him her blessings.
"Ah-hem...!"
Another heavy cough came from outside; Pual and Terry came in and said to Lydia, "We're so glad that you're doing fine, but you're going to divorce him. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you'll go back to Emerdale and get the divorce papers done."
Those words provoked Lydia. A murderous intent flashed across Leo's eyes.
Leo released Lydia's hands and strolled to Paul.
Lydia's face changed immediately. "Leo, this is my home, don't be impulsive!"
She knew her family's power well enough and was afraid that Leo would get hurt.
Leo turned over and gave her a reassuring smile. Then he said coldly,
"Miserable wretches from the royal family of Country YD, you can't wait to stop praying once you're onshore, can you?"
"What did you say?"
The Hendersons' faces changed as he said that out.
"Am I not telling the truth?"
Leo sneered and asked, "You've seen Nadine's strength now, and you aren't her match. I've never brought you any trouble yet; how dare you force my wife to remarry?"
Terry also sneered, "Leo, I don't know why you're so confident... do you really think you can look down upon our family just because of a strong bodyguard?"
"Really? Then just count my family in!"
A woman said in a sarcastic tone.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. They looked at Elena, whose eyes were filled with anger.
"Elena, are you sure you want to be our enemy for the sake of a good-for-nothing loser?"
"A loser? You've been calling him that, but you should really know who's the real loser here."
Elena's sarcastic eyes skimmed over everybody in the room, then she said coldly, "You all think he's a loser, but I'll tell you what, I'm more than satisfied with him. With the Byrne family backing him up, are you still going to treat him like a nobody?"
As soon as these words came out, Terry and Paul's expressions became extremely ugly.
Even with Nadine's backing up, these people still think Leo was an out-and-out loser.
However, with Elena making her standpoint clear and saying she liked Leo, the Byrne family had also become the force behind Leo. No one would call a man like that a "loser".
"You're not going to take Mom away!"
Emilia jumped out of bed, stretched out her hands, and protected Lydia in her own way.
