Leo collapsed to the floor, his eyes bloodshot. "Are you crazy?"
He clutched his head, glanced at his palm, and cursed loudly, "Damn it! I'm bleeding!"
I stared at him impassively and pulled a document and a pen from my bag before tossing them to him. "This is a property transfer agreement. I'm not asking for much—just transfer the house where you and Yasmine lived together to her."
Leo wiped the blood from his forehead and glanced at the document with a sneer. "That's typical of Yasmine. Even at the end, she has to cash in!"
"Stop the nonsense. This was my idea. It has nothing to do with her. I know you don't care about that house. Sign it, and I'll get someone to take you to the hospital."
Leo staggered to his feet, swaying. "If all you wanted was the house, why the hell did you smash me?"
I gave him an apologetic smile. "Because I wanted to."
He shook his head slightly as if his vision was beginning to blur. "Damn it! I really can't give that house away. If she wants compensation, I can give her something else!"
"Don't play games with me. You two shouldn't see each other again!"
I knew Yasmine. Instead of hoping for him to have a change of heart, practical compensation was better for her. "Empty promises mean nothing. It's better to secure something tangible."
Leo took a deep breath, his voice strained. "Don't worry. What I give her will definitely satisfy her. I'll give her my entire fortune. Is that enough?"
I frowned, suspecting I'd hit Leo hard enough to knock his senses loose. I doubted he even knew what he was saying—he wouldn't give up a single house but was now talking about giving away his entire fortune?
"Le..." Before I could even finish saying his name, he collapsed right in front of me.
"Hey!" I nudged him with my foot. "Don't play dead!"
