Chapter 339: I am your husband
Finally, he extended the same hand as a moment ago, in the same position, only this time he touched
Mariana''s face.
The moment Leopoldo touched Mariana, he seemed to have discovered something.
Feeling the warm temperature of Mariana''s body, looking at her miserable white face, touching the cold
sweat on her forehead, all of this stung Leopoldo''s heart fiercely.
He was not willing to leave Mariana, even if it meant death.
As he thought, Leopoldo''s eyes were no longer confused and dazed as they had just been, but were
reced by determination. Determination to get Mariana back on her feet.
-You''re really going to give me trouble," he said fondly and reached out to touch the tip of Mariana''s
nose.
Mariana seemed to be disgusted with Leopoldo''s movement and turned her head away.
Seeing Mariana like this, Leopoldo was somewhat relieved and smiled.
Since learning of Mariana''s health condition, Leopoldo had been by her side at all times, taking care of
her.
The assistant wanted to find apanion when he saw how hard he was working, but Leopoldo
reprimanded him severely, so he had to desist.
Leopoldo cared for Mariana in such a way that the nurses and the other patients seemed very envious
of Mariana and could not help but fantasize about having such a handsome and kind man to take care
of them.
Leopoldo, who was worried about Mariana, was naturally unable to understand what the others were
saying about him, and just kept repeating the same thing every day.
That day, he had just used hot water to clean Mariana''s exposed skin to make herfortable.
After cleaning up the used water, he checked that it was already noon and asked his assistant to bring
him a lunch, so he sat down in front of the hospital bed and stayed with her.
He no longer knew the exact day, it could be a week or two, now all that was not as important in
Leopoldo''s eyes as Mariana.
Seeing Mariana''s gradually pale face, Leopoldo could not help but feel very relieved.
He lowered his head and looked at the needle on the back of her hand, and couldn''t help but gently
stroke the hand, only to feel his heart ache.
His hands, which had been white as agar, were now also bruised and battered from the infusion, which
caused Leopoldo a great headache.
-Mariana, when are you going to wake up? -Leopoldo grabbed Mariana''s hand and could not help but
murmur.
In the two days that Leopoldo had been taking care of Mariana, her body had also deteriorated. Her
eyes, which originally made anyone shudder, were now no longer so cold. And his handsome face also
had a small beard.
Overall, he looked a bit haggard.
Suddenly, the calm air was disturbed. Leopold thought at first that it was his assistant, but when he
turned his head and saw Xavier, he frowned and made a disgusted face.
-What are you doing here?
When the visitor heard Leopold''s hostile words, his heart tensed a little.
Xavier did not respond to her words, but came in and ced the flowers he was holding next to
Mariana''s bed, looking at her intently and with eyes full of concern.
There was a slight chill in the air and it was clear that Leopoldo''s mood had soured.
Realizing that Leopoldo had shifted, Xavier then turned his affectionate gaze away from Mariana and
onto Leopoldo''s body.
-"Are you the only one allowed to see her?
Although he expected Xavier to say something, Leopoldo couldn''t help but grimace when he heard his
words.
Seeing him smile coldly, Xavier felt a little irritated. Why was he always so overbearing?
-What are youughing at?
-I think you''re ridiculous.
Leopoldo, who was lowering his head to hold Mariana''s hair behind her ear, answered Xavier without
raising his head.
Carefully arranging Mariana''s hair, his gaze was full of tenderness.
Xavier, who was already upset, became even more enraged at being ignored and insulted in this way.
-Leopoldo, don''t be exaggerated.
Only when Xavier could stand it no longer, Leopoldo raised his head and looked at him. His look made
Xavier feel very ufortable.
-Exaggerated? Mariana is my wife, I have the right to decide who can see her and who can''t," he said

with a smile on his face.
-Who are you to be so arrogant," Xavier replied. He didn''t want to not be able to see Mariana all the
time.
He wanted Leopoldo to know that he was not the only person in this world who cared about Mariana''s
safety.
Hearing Xavier say this, Leopoldo just felt annoyed and felt that he didn''t know any better.
-I am her husband. Who are you toe here and order me around?
He said with a cold hum, then lowered his head and covered Mariana''s hand with the quilt, before
standing up and looking at Xavier.
-Xavier you are a wise man, don''t do anything that can be misunderstood. I don''t have much patience.
As she said that, she walked over and passed Xavier, walked over to the bed and picked up the
bouquet of flowers, then turned around and put it in Xavier''s arms.
-He doesn''t like it," he said in an extremelymanding tone as he looked at Xavier.
Seeing all of Leopoldo''s actions and all the words he said, Xavier felt angry, but he could not refute it.
Leopold had a feeling of oppression that he could not resist, and being pressured by him in this way, he
could only cling to hisst line of defense.
-You! -Xavier was torn for half a day and finally could only utter this word.
As Leopold watched him grind his teeth, he could not help but feel relieved, and the emotions he had
been repressing for the past two days were slightly relieved.
-You can leave if you have nothing else to do. Mariana needs a quiet environment," he said, walking
over to where he had just been sitting.
A moment ago he was brushing against Xavier, but this time he collided directly with his shoulder.
This was a provocation. Seeing Leopoldo''s condescending and smug expression, Xavier was
outraged, but he couldn''t do anything about it.
If he stayed here any longer, he would only get Leopold to mock him, so he could only hold his flowers.
When he left, he stared at Leopoldo, who was in a good mood. Although he was angry, he closed the
door very carefully, after all, he didn''t want to disturb Mariana.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Leopoldo smiled and turned his head to look at Mariana, who
had her eyes closed with some helplessness.
Shortly after Xavier left, his assistant brought the food and was a little surprised to see the flower petals
on the floor, and then he heard Leopoldo''s voice.
-Clean it up," he said as he untied the stic bag.
With a nod of his head, the assistant took a broom and cleaned the areas where there were petals.
When Leopoldo finished eating, the assistant left the room with his lunch box.
At that moment, only Leopoldo and Mariana were left again in therge room, so silent that only the
sound of breathing could be heard.
After thest incident, Xavier had not bothered Mariana again, and Leopoldo was satisfied with that.
