Chapter 722
Leonardo was at a loss. He'd seen women cry before, like Isabel, who often shed tears in front of him, but he only felt disgusted. But now, seeing Haley's tears, it felt like his heart was being scalded, leaving him breathless.
As soon as Leonardo asked, Haley cried even harder. She'd been dealing with Martin in Watertown for so long, never shedding a tear even in danger. She traveled all the way to Hinterlands, returning disappointed each time. In countless sleepless nights, she held back her tears. But now, she couldn't hold back anymore.
Her husband, Ivan, seemed not to recognize her.
"Don't you know who I am?" Haley asked, her voice trembling with a hint of hope.
Leonardo's jaw tightened. He'd only heard from Louis that this woman was named Haley; he didn't know anything else. He pursed his lips and said, "Stop crying. You just want to see my face, right? I'll let you see enough, okay?"
He took off his mask.
Haley, with tear-filled eyes, looked at the familiar face in front of her. The scar that ran across half of Leonardo's face seemed to have been left a month ago and was still healing. What kind of injuries had he suffered, and what unknown experiences had he gone through to get to this point?
Haley suddenly remembered what Katherine had told her. Martin asked Katherine to erase Ivan's memory, but Ivan kept calling Haley, causing the memory erasure to fail. In the end, he passed out, and then Martin sent Ivan abroad. Katherine thought she had failed to erase Ivan's memory, but what if she had actually succeeded?
So Ivan forgot who he was; he didn't recognize her or the kids. If that's the case, everything makes sense.
Haley raised her hand and gently touched the scar on his face, choking up as she asked, "How did you get this scar?"
The tears in her eyes, the soft light, and the depth of emotion in her gaze softened Leonardo. He spoke softly, "I don't remember. I woke up with the injury on my face."
Haley took a deep breath. "You don't remember anything from before, do you?"
Leonardo was about to nod but suddenly hesitated. Only a few elders in the Black Gang knew about his amnesia. He didn't know who this woman was; he couldn't recklessly reveal his biggest secret.
Leonardo casually changed the subject. "Didn't you want me to help you find someone? Give me all the information about the person you're looking for, and I'll give the orders right away."
Haley lowered her head and wiped away her tears. Ivan had only lost his memory; he had just temporarily forgotten her. She couldn't be defeated by this. Ivan's memory could be erased, but it could also come back. It was just a matter of time.
After mentally preparing herself, Haley took out her phone. She opened a photo of her and Ivan and handed it over. "This is my husband. His name is Ivan, he's twenty-six years old, similar in height and build to you."
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Leonardo in front of her. But he had already put on his golden mask again, and Haley could only guess his emotions from his hawk-like eyes.
The photo was very intimate, with the two of them holding each other, faces close together, both with bright, happy smiles. Such a smile made Leonardo feel very uncomfortable. Haley clearly had a husband, yet she came to mess around with him. But why did her husband look somewhat familiar?
Leonardo's gaze turned cold just as someone entered the room.
