CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 759

A sudden voice startled not just the woman, but even Suzy, who hadn’t expected it at all.

“Dylan, weren’t you…”

When she had left, Dylan was lying stiffly in bed, yet now he was suddenly here.

“I told you, no matter when, I’ll always be with you. So how could I let you face this alone?” Dylan’s face was full of affection as he looked at Suzy.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered."

Suzy’s eyes reddened uncontrollably. “But your body…”

She knew all too well about the poison in his system.

Even now, though he was here in person, his entire body appeared stiff. Even his speech was halting and unclear.

Looking at him like this, Suzy felt an ache deep in her heart. And there was also Elliot standing nearby.

They had both been so composed and dignified, yet now, because of her, they were in this state.

Seeing the guilt written all over Suzy’s face, Dylan gave her a soft smile. “As long as I’m breathing, I won’t let you face anything alone.”

The woman next to them sneered at his words.

“How touching. I honestly don’t get it—what kind of spell does she have over you? Why is it that every single one of you becomes infatuated the moment you meet her?”

Dylan looked at the woman expressionlessly. “You wouldn’t understand. She may have a temper, but she’s the kindest person in the world.”

“Kindest?” The woman’s mocking laughter grew sharper.

“You must have a distorted idea of kindness. She’s an assassin—she’s killed so many people. Do you think all of them deserved to die?

“During her years as a killer, do you even know what her creed was? ‘As long as the money’s right, anyone can die.’

“And yet, you call a ruthless murderer like her kind?”

Desmond pushed Dylan toward Suzy. “Mrs. Wright, please take Mr. Wright and leave. I’ll handle things here.”

Suzy nodded quickly and called out to Elliot. “Elliot, let’s go!”

But Elliot replied, “Mentor, I can’t leave…”

“What do you mean?” Suzy asked, confused.

The woman was under his control.

As long as he let her go, he could leave too. Why was he saying he couldn’t?

Elliot looked at Suzy’s puzzled face, the corners of his lips lifting in a faint, gentle smile.

“The Scarlet Veil poison has no cure. Other than you, I don’t want anyone else to help me detoxify it. But you… you’ll never agree to help me.”
