Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee

Shutting his eyes, he reminisced about the time when Millie entered his house,
playfully calling out, “Hey, honey, are you looking for me?”
With a mixture of disdain and irritation on his face, he retorted, “Who gave you
permission to address me that way?”
“If not “honey,’ then what should I call you? Mr. Thomas? Marcus...”
Back then, she had been clever, lively, and full of vitality. The more he recalled,
the more the pain in Marcus’ chest intensified.
In the changing room, Leon removed his sterile attire, revealing his well-defined
back. His lips tightened into a thin line, his brows furrowing slightly as he
grappled with a torrent of emotions.
He was engulfed by a sense of emptiness when exiting the operating room. Just
moments before, while performing surgery, he was suddenly reminded of Millie's
words. “Leon, if I were to go in place of Miss Rayne, would I die?”
In that instant, his hand holding the surgical knife trembled, causing him to
inadvertently nick the patient's major artery. The surgery nearly ended in failure.
Lois waited outside the changing room for a while, but Leon didn’t emerge.
Tentatively knocking on the door, she entered.

was aware that before he came back to the Thomas family, Leon had a history of
getting into fights regularly.
“Feeling weary? Shall we head back?”
Her voice, soft and soothing, caused Leon to start. Swiftly grabbing a white shirt,
he hurriedly put it on, obscuring his exposed torso. His actions stung Lois. Even
in the midst of changing clothes, he seemed concerned about her seeing him.
Buttoning up his shirt, Leon turned around, his brow furrowed.
“Why did the explosion happen in the unfinished building? Weren't the
kidnappers supposed to wait for Marcus to bring the ransom money to save
Millie?”
Lois immediately blamed herself.
“At that time, the kidnappers kept calling Marcus, but they couldn't get through.
