Chapter 21
Hospital, in a ward.
Brenton, who was in a coma due to a high fever, had a dream.
In the dream, it was Leanna, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. She was still cuddled in his arms, sweetly calling out his name as before.
Just as he was about to bend down to kiss her, Leanna in his arms suddenly changed her expression and pushed him away, running into the arms of another man.
No matter how he begged and pleaded, she ignored him.
“Brenton, you betrayed me first, so I don’t want you anymore!”
She left so decisively, without even looking back once.
“No, don’t go!”
Brenton suddenly opened his eyes, roaring and frantically searching around with his hands. Then his palm touched something soft, still not fully awake, he thought it was Leanna.
He immediately smiled, and quickly embraced “her” in his arms, kissing her while pleading.
“Don’t go, don’t leave me, please…”
After several days of traveling by boat to get here, Crystal never imagined that her reunion with Brenton would be in this setting.
At first, when Crystal realized that the man she had been sharing a bed

with for almost two years was not her husband but her younger brother-in–law, she felt like her world was falling apart.
A widow had an incestuous relationship with her stepson.
Whether voluntarily or involuntarily, she would be discussed by others privately.
Crystal finally managed to escape the miserable life with the Harrell family and start living a better life. If she were to go back to the past, she would rather just die.
She thought and planned to do so, her face had already been lost, the Harrell family didn’t want her, Brenton didn’t want her either, what was the point of living anymore.
Just as Crystal was about to commit suicide, Evelyn suddenly rushed out and desperately stopped her.
They said the Anderson family had already let her down, and if they were to push her to death again, the Anderson family would also lose face.
So Evelyn took the initiative and let Brenton marry her.
Brenton’s opposition was so intense that, in order to break their hearts, he even ran all the way to Hawaii to find Leanna and win her back.
Evelyn didn’t give up either. She bought a plane ticket for Crystal to Hawaii and told her that as long as she brought Brenton back, they could get married right away.
In the past, Crystal could never accept marrying her younger brother- in–law. However, after almost two years of being “husband and wife” with Brenton, not only has her body become familiar with him, but her heart has also slowly started to belong to him.

Anyway, my reputation had already been ruined, so I might as well just marry him and have a child. At least that way, there would be some security in the future.
So Crystal came.
She had prepared herself for all kinds of reactions when Brenton saw her, but she never expected that as soon as they met, he would be so crazy about her.
He held her tightly, kissing her passionately, begging her not to leave him.
Brenton was momentarily taken aback by her enthusiastic demeanor, as if they had been transported back to those sweet years.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but blush, raising her head to encircle his neck and prepare to kiss him.
The next moment, Brenton suddenly shouted out another woman’s
name at her.
“Leanna, don’t go, please…”
“Crash!”
When Leanna’s name was mentioned, it felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over Crystal’s head, leaving her heart cold throughout her body.
In an instant, a complex emotion of indescribable shame and grievance surged in her heart.
She had already considered herself as his, so why did he have to call out another woman’s name?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t hold back anymore and, with a sudden burst of strength from who knows where, she pushed Brenton away.
“Brenton, you showed me clearly who I really am!”
Brenton was getting addicted to kissing “Leanna“, and when he was pushed away for a moment, he didn’t react and was about to reach for Crystal’s hand.
“Leanna, don’t be angry, okay? I can explain everything to you…”
“Brenton!”
Another desperate scream rang out, and this time Brenton finally snapped out of it.
He shook his head and finally saw who the person in front of him was.
In an instant, the madness and passion on his face receded like a tide, leaving only a cold indifference.
“How come it’s you?”
