Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 145

Leo voiced his heartfelt desire to cheer for Jane like a good father, leaving me at the loss of words despite anger. The happiness on my little girl's face advocated for her dad.

I was stuck between what was right and wrong when Bright stepped forward and countered this emotional reasoning.

"You want to attend the important moments of Jane's life.

Great!

Recover fast and meet her with your health certificate. This is the best-case scenario for her, Leo.

How can you even think that you will see such days in the future by disregarding the seriousness of your illness …"

As Bright elaborated on the topic of complications, kids got scared, Jane held Leo's hand and cried out.

"Do as the doctor uncle says, dad. You must heal first."

Zoe was also terrified, trembling with fear. So, I swiftly pacified them.

"Don't worry, kids. Dad will be fine soon."

However, that was my mistake as Leo deciphered its meanings wrongly.

"See, even Laura knows that I haven't committed any crime to visit my kids."

"She is comforting her kids as a responsible mother, you dumb ass!" Bright scoffed, rolling his eyes at him,

"Laura has two proper eyes to see what kind of idiot you are, Leo. Stop twisting her words."

Bright's accidental bumping with Leo today struck us with a calamity, catching my trash ex in the act who was secretly meeting our kids. It was a good thing like nature's warning, but God had definitely picked the wrong person for this revelation.

Bright grew more hostile towards Leo, he didn't let it slip and heatedly argued with him. He even asked for my opinion.

"Tell me, Laura! Shouldn't Leo behave sensibly?

Don't you agree with my point?"

As the situation escalated, I found myself caught in the middle of a forest full of beats. More precisely, in a rink full of hot-headed players, where two fierce captions were fighting over a puck.

I felt like that puck, an object with no connection to the living beings, their endless squabble exhausted my patience. My blood boiled to witness their brainless quarrel; they had completely forgotten about their public image to embarrass me.

Public?

As all my methods were ineffective, I had left no choice but to turn to the keen observer of the fight: My brother. Henry stayed silent until I asked him for help.

"Brother, please save me!"

Shaking my head, I grasped his arm. I was so done with everything around me.

"Take me somewhere quiet, brother. My head is about to explode!"

Rubbing my temples, I requested Henry, my brother took immediate action and stepped up for me.

"Hey, two of you!!!

Stay out of my little Laura's life. Don't even try to follow us …"

His dangerous warning was excessive, but its miraculous effects sealed my mouth. I could see the mixture of fear and shock craved on Leo and Bright's faces, washing a wave of relief over me. They were stunned by Henry's reaction, riveted to their spots.

I was finally able to breathe calmly as Henry escorted us to his car and said,

"Your knight is at your service, my darling Laura!"
