Chapter 421 Chapter 421 Just a Pawn In my current situation, anyone who got involved was bound to suffer. I kept shaking my head, and Jack's footsteps paused.

I let out a sigh of relief. At least I didn't have to worry about him.

Jack rarely made public appearances, so it was best that he remained in the dark.

Leonard gave him a smug smile. "Sorry, everyone, but I need to take my wife to the ER. Please make way. Could those in front please step aside and stop crowding? My wife needs emergency care right now." He blocked my way for a good two to three minutes, only realizing I needed to get to the emergency room afterward. If it really cto that and I didn't make it, he could just cry right there. He should have delayeda bit longer. If I were to die, he could set up his persona as the devoted husband I wanted to laugh, but I simply couldn't move. How had I never realized he was such a good actor? It was a shhe hadn't pursued acting Not only was he a great actor, but he was also a brilliant planner and writer.

As I was pushed inside, I could still hear people aroundpraising him. "Leonard is so devoted, isn't he? I heard they were college sweethearts!" "A man this devoted is hard to cby. Why can't I have someone like him?" "Eva is so lucky! I'm so envious!" "Honestly, if a man did this for me, I'd be willing to die for him." I closed my eyes, feeling completely exasperated. If they were envious of me, could they just take my place, then? Dying for him was something I would never agree to.

I truly thought these people had lost their minds.

I thought Leonard would leave once I entered the hospital since his show was over. But I was surprised to find a crowd still surrounding me.

People followedwhile the doctors examined me, and the hospital security couldn't drive them away.

As I opened my eyes, I could see a group of people recording, likely live-streaming.

I extended my hand, and Leonard immediately grasped it.

"Eva, don't worry. You won't be in any danger. I'll always be here for you. No matter how much it costs, I'll make sure you're treated. I'll make sure you survive." He was truly handsome. His eyes were filled with affection when he looked at me. He had looked atlike that before, back when he genuinely loved me. His heart and mind had been completely focused onthen, and he was wholeheartedly devoted to me. But now, all that supposed affection was filled with calculation.

I silently chuckled. I heard someone next tosay Leonard's sincerity had moved me.

"Gosh, she had held on for so long despite cancer. It must be for love!" "Real couples are definitely the best to root for. It's just so touching!" "Mr. Peyton, when will you two remarry? With her health like this, are you sure you want to go through with it?" When someone asked this, Leonard turned around with a nonchalant smile.

"Of course. We're in love with each other, so we're definitely gettingm remarried. Lonly have her in my heart. Once she's a bit better, we'll get married again."

"Remarry?" Alisa forcefully pulled his ut of hand away. "Leonard, are you out your mind? After everything you've done, you're still thinking about remarrying? Eva never agreed to remarry you. You're dreaming!" Alisa was agitated, and by then, I had already been wheeled into the CT room.

Just before the door closed, I caught away his sight of Leonard WP for everyone tears before gesturing to leave. This included Jack, who had been quietly following him. Everything clicked when I saw Leonard's entourage dispersing and the security guards arriving to clear the area.

I was just a pawn in his game, a piece to manipulate public opinion.
