Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648 Die for You

It seemed as though Yelena was throwing herself at him.

She didn't even say goodbye to Simone as she rushed to the door and ran out.

The commotion upstairs could be heard clearly downstairs.

Simone was worried. Yet, she could only watch in resignation as Yelena fled the house before she could say anything.

Slevin watched her rush off, and his lips curled down into a slight smirk. Still, he remained silent upon watching the ruckus.

"Slade, isn't Yelena your friend? Don't you want to chase after her to check on her?"

Simone knew her son's temper, and Yelena was definitely devastated after being treated so harshly by Hank. She was concerned that Yelena would do something stupid.

To her surprise, Slevin merely leaned against the sofa calmly. "It's okay, Mrs. Damazio. Yelena can take care of herself."

Simone nodded helplessly when she suddenly recalled something. She inquired warily, "Since Yelena is already gone, what are you still doing here?"

Slevin seemed to have been waiting for that question. He drawled, "Well, Mrs. Damazio, I'm here not just for Yelena."

A sense of caution instantly rose in Simone's heart. "What are you here for?"

Slevin replied calmly, "Mrs. Damazio, do you remember a woman called Leah Hudson from around twenty-five years ago?"

Leah Hudson…

A memory instantly surfaced, and Simone's face paled with fright. "You know Leah?"

The man toyed with her, "Coincidentally, not only do I know her, but she's also my biological mother."

"What?!"

"I said, she's my biological mother."

Simone stuttered, not daring to answer, "So… Dear child, how's your mother now?"

Slevin's smile gradually became malicious. "She's actually crossed the rainbow bridge now, so she's at peace."

Simone was well aware of that answer. But she couldn't help but stagger when she heard the answer. "I… I can explain this."

The man smiled, "You don't have to explain, Mrs. Damazio. Your reaction is enough."

The memory was so painful that Simone had never dared to think about it in the past twenty-five years.

Back then, she found Leah lying on the floor, covered in blood. Yet, instead of calling the police, she quickly fled the scene. At first, it was out of fear, afraid that she would suffer the same treatment. It was such a pity that she didn't expect that her actions would cause Leah's death.

The year Leah died…

"Leah, I've told you countless times. Please stop pestering my husband."

Simone had been raised well. So, even though she was stuck in such a situation, she didn't yell at Leah.

The two women stood facing each other in front of the abandoned warehouse. Simone's eyes were cold.

"I'm not pestering your husband, but…" Leah's eyes were full of helplessness. "But now, I'm in dire need of money to raise my children. I have no choice but to come to him."

Just as Simone turned to leave, she suddenly heard a pained scream behind her.

She immediately peeked around the corner and saw Leah, who was on the ground. Judging from her injury, she was stabbed and unconscious due to blood loss.

A man stood by her, holding the card.

"They sent me to kill Landon Damazio's wife. I'm really sorry, little lady."

The man looked at the card in his hand and guffawed. "It's great. She, indeed, is such a rich wife. There's quite a pretty penny in here."

He turned to leave just as he was monologuing. Simone, in her anxiety, accidentally slipped on a stone, making a small sound.

The man turned back quickly, thinking that he had been had, and yelled, "Who's there?!"

Simone covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound. She didn't even dare to breathe.

When she noticed the man walking towards her, Simone's head began to spin, and she mewed softly.

She didn't know if the man believed it, but the footsteps stopped not far away from her huddled form.

"Oh, it's just a cat. It scared me for a moment there."

The man turned away, kicking a stone with a lighthearted chuckle. His tensed form immediately eased.

So, Simone waited around the corner until she couldn't hear him anymore. Then, she muttered to herself, "It was an assassination targeted at me. If it weren't because Leah… I would probably be the one unconscious on the ground right now."
