CHAPTER 904 DO YOU LOVE HIM?
"Brother?"
Hearing Ivy's address, Leo froze for a moment, and instantly lost all sleepiness, sitting up from the bed
with a bolt.
Looking at Ivy, he asked, "What did you just call me?"
"Brother."
Ivy's eyes narrowed and her smile turned into a crescent moon as she took it for granted.
"......"
Leo looked back, dumbfounded, and said, "Although I'm older than you, I don't look much older than
you, you don't need to use honorifics for me, just call me by my name, or just call me 'Mr. Cohen'."
But Ivy shook her head upon hearing this, with a serious look on her face, and said, "How can that be?
A brother is a brother, how can I call you by your name?"
At these words, Leo immediately frowned, hearing some clues.
At first, what he thought was 'brother' was just a term of endearment for an older, strange man. But now
he realized that the brother Ivy was talking about was not a term of endearment between friends, but a
term of endearment between a real brother and sister.
Leo's expression became serious. Leo had not had much contact with Ivy, a woman from Toyo, and
only knew that someone who could be hunted by a Phantom was definitely not a simple person.
However, Ivy called him brother and confused him.
After glancing back at Lydia and seeing that it had not alerted her, Leo was slightly relieved while he
said to Ivy, "Come out."
"Okay, brother."
Ivy continued to call out to her brother, not feeling the least bit odd about doing so.
Leading Ivy to the downstairs living room, which was empty.
Leo told Ivy to sit down, then looked at her with a serious face, "Listen, Miss Oda, I believe that your
coming to Pompeii is no accident, and you may be carrying a great secret, so it is only right that we will
protect you and save you. Don't call me 'brother'. I know that in your country, the word brother is not as
simple as it seems."
There is a deep bond between 'Brother and sister' in Toyo, a bond that goes far beyond even the
relationship between lovers, which was a cultural difference.
It may not seem like much to the people of Toyo, but to the people of Pompeii, it can be deeply
misunderstood.
He did not want Lydia to misunderstand his relationship with Ivy.
Leo said this in a serious manner, not looking at all like he was joking, and Ivy's face, which was
originally full of smiles, froze for a moment. copyrighted © content.
When she reacted, Ivy opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refuse, but changed her mind when she
looked at Leo's serious eyes.
"Okay, Mr. Cohen."
This address was much more comfortable for Leo to hear, so he said, "What is it that you want to see
me so early in the morning? Or, have you remembered something?"
Ivy, however, lost interest all of a sudden and shook her head, "No."
Afterwards, she was back to her room.
Back in her room, Ivy is lost. Now that Toyo is about to face a major reshuffle, with the Emperor's death
and the Oda family's position in jeopardy, only Leo can save them.
She had come to Pompeii to ask for help, but at the moment she wanted more than anything to speak
of the relationship between the Oda family and his parents, but there was not a very opportune moment
to do so.
Because both Leo and Sharon protect her as if she were a person with a huge secret on her.
"Alas, let nature take its course."
Ivy shook her head, gathered her thoughts and lay back down on the bed.
Leo also had some trouble understanding what was going through the mind of this young girl from
Toyo, but he didn't care as he walked to Sharon's room and knocked gently on the door.
"The door is unlocked."
The voice of Sharon soon came from inside.
Leo was astonished that Sharon, who had been seriously injured, had woken up after just one night's
rest despite being given a sedative shot.
He gently pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Sharon sitting at the head of the bed,
seeing Leo enter, and not standing up to greet him, with a preoccupied look.
"Still thinking about Dominic?"
Leo smiled slightly, gently closed the door behind him and sat down beside Sharon.
Sharon was silent for a long time, finally nodded and said, "I thought that clone was the real Dominic,
but it turned out not to be. Damn Phantom, captured Dominic to use as a mother and made a lot of
clones out of him. I can't accept this result."
Sharon had her head down and looked a bit dejected.
Leo could fully understand this emotion; what she cherished was so spoiled by the Phantom, who had
broken up the pair and would even turn against each other and kill each other as lovers in the future.
There is no greater torment in the world than this.
"But it's true, you have to move on."
He gazed at the side of Sharon's stunningly beautiful face and said softly.
"I know, but it's easier said than done, or rather, I simply can't do it!"
Sharon said emotionally, "Three years, I have been living in Dominic's nightmare for these three years,
maybe you are right, Dominic is not the same Dominic we are familiar with. We will live and die in the
future, but I am his unmarried wife, I am not like you, I just want to think of everything in a good
direction. What if, I say what if, there is still hope?"
She lifted her head and looked at Leo with hopeful eyes, eager to see the affirmation she hoped to see
in Leo's eyes.
However, she was disappointed, Leo's eyes were calm and he shook his head gently, "There is no
hope, he is the enemy."
"......"
Sharon's eyes instantly froze, and her eyes lost focus when she looked at Leo.
Her throat rolled as if she wanted to say something else, but the next moment, a pair of large, broad,
strong hands embraced her deeply.
In this instant, Sharon's face changed drastically and her entire body was in a state of rigidity.
Only after three seconds of stagnation did she gradually adapt to Leo's broad and strong embrace, and
even took the initiative to open her arms and gently hug him.
In her current state of mind, she does need someone to hug her.
The hug lasted for a long time, and strangely enough, after the hug, Sharon, who was in a messy
mood, was instantly much better.
"Before you think about anything else, I want you to get one thing straight."
Leo let go of Sharon, but with both hands still on top of Sharon's shoulders, he calmly said, "This
matter is very important, it concerns your future living. Three years ago, you were living for Dominic,
but now, you have learned the truth of the matter what you should live for."
Leo looked into Sharon's eyes, his eyes sharpening.
After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Do you really like Dominic? Or who is the person you are
hiding in your heart!"
"......"
