Chapter 889
He knew that Iris’s soul was still there and could still hear him, therefore, he was making these promises in order to revive her will for survival!
Then, he picked her up, strode to the center of the stage, and glanced at Benedict, who was sitting in the master seat. “I’m sorry, Elder Shear, I’m busy trying to save someone’s life, and unfortunately, cannot continue with the rest of the ceremony anymore.”
“Leon, Iris already died, and we’re all witnesses to this. I don’t think you should waste your time and energy on this anymore!” Benedict furrowed his brows in displeasure.
“No, she’s not dead yet, and I’ll save her!” Leon said determinedly.
“Leon, are you insisting on canceling the rest of the ceremony and leaving?” The Shears looked annoyed at this. This engagement party was a grand one, and the Shears invited everyone from the upper class. If Leon were to cancel the ceremony or leave right then and there, this would no doubt humiliate the Shears and make them the laughingstock of the town!
The Shears would never agree to this!
“Elder Shear, and all my respected ladies and gentlemen, I apologize, but I can’t do this anymore. I sincerely hope you will be able to forgive me,” Leon knew that his leaving would cause a significant impact on the Shears‘ image and immediately gave them a bow of apology.
“Leon, you have to think twice. What will happen to Cynthia once you leave?” Benedict replied furiously.
Not only would the Shears be humiliated, but Cynthia would be utterly heartbroken at this! This was the last thing Benedict wanted to see!
“I-” Leon fell silent at this. After what happened, all his love toward Iris was rekindled, and he even promised her that as long as she woke up, he was willing to get back together with her, so how could he possibly return to Cynthia’s side?
However, on the other hand, if he failed to save Iris, it was highly likely that he would not recover from this!
Iris was always the woman he loved, and now that she took her own life for him, Leon would live the rest of his life with this guilt, and it was highly likely that he would spend his days by Iris’s grave, mourning her death.
Therefore, Leon knew that he would probably never return to Cynthia’s side again, whether he managed to save Iris or not!
“Leon, you can do it.”
