However, she had loved blindly and did not understand love.
She fell in love again after understanding.
Kyla looked past her and at Martin Weiss. “Martin Weiss, do you want me to leave?” she asked.
“Yes, I want you to leave,” he said.
She laughed at herself. ‘What kind of answer was I expecting?’
Kyla’s eyes darkened slightly as she withdrew from the room.
and quietly closed the door.
There seemed to be an invisible wall between her and Martin Weiss. No matter how much she wanted to get close, she could not get close to him at all. ‘Calm down…!
She thought to herself. Their bet had just started. They had three months. Perhaps she could make him… fall in love with her again in these three months.
She finally understood how Martin Weiss felt when he wanted her to give him another chance.
She now hoped Martin Weiss could give her a chance to get close to him too.
In the bedroom, Shana Nicholls was secretly pleased when she saw Martin Weiss’s indifference to Kyla just now. Sure enough, the so-called Mrs. Weiss did not carry much weight in However, the next moment, Martin Weiss’s voice rang out again, “You get out too. I’d like to dine alone.”
Shana Nicholls was shocked. “But…”
“But?” Martin Weiss glared coldly at Shana Nicholls, instantly making her swallow the rest of her words.
“Got it. I’ll leave immediately.” She looked down and obediently left the room.
For a moment, she felt as if he had seen through her, and fear came over her.
‘I must be overthinking,’ Shana Nicholls told herself.
In the following days, Martin Weiss did not dine with Kyla at the same table, and the servants’ respect for her slowly diminished.
In particular, the servants heard that Martin Weiss wanted to divorce Kyla, but she refused. Therefore, she came to the mansion to get Martin Weiss to change his mind. Everyone looked down on her even more.

However, these things did not bother Kyla. Martin Weiss was all that mattered to her.
However, she had few chances to see Martin Weiss.
After leaving the room, Kyla headed to the mansion’s yard.
The mansion had a large yard with many osmanthus flowers.
It was the season when the air smelled of osmanthus.
Kyla recalled how she had told Martin Weiss that she hoped their house could one day be filled with the scent of osmanthus.
It was because they had watched a movie together where the male and female leads go to know each other due to osmanthus. Osmanthus flowers were shown throughout the movie, which also made her fall in love with osmanthus.
This mansion’s yard was now full of osmanthus plants. Was it because she said she loved the smell of osmanthus back then?
These plants looked like they were at least five years old.
Ever since Kyla realized the mansion’s yard was full of osmanthus, she would stroll the yard every afternoon.
It seemed that even smelling the fragrance of osmanthus could make her mood better.
However, to her surprise, she saw Martin Weiss in the yard today.
3/4
Martin Weiss was lying on a dock chair with his eyes closed as the breeze gently blow the hair on his forehead, revealing his plump forehead, He did not open his eyes as she approached, Is he asleep?’ she thought to herself.
He was less indifferent but quieter with his eyes closed. His long lashes cast a shadow over the bottom of his eyes. His tall nose bridge and sexy thin lips made him as handsome as ever. However, his eyes seemed somewhat haggard. His pale complexion and his thin cheeks made him seem more sickly.
He was sick because of her!
With that in mind, Kyla’s heart sank as her gaze went to his chest.
He was only wearing a shirt right now.
The top few buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, so the collar of his shirt hung open loosely, revealing his bewitching chest.

‘How is his wound? Is it healing like mine? Or… is the wound not doing well?
After all, the doctor had said that the healing of the wound depended on the individual.
Kyla could not help raising her hand slightly and stretching it toward his shirt, wanting to see how his wound was healing.
Even though she knew he had doctors and nurses looking after him and that his wound would surely heal well, she could not help feeling the urge to take a glance.
‘One glance. Just one glance!
She told herself and proceeded to unbutton his shirt until she could gently pull it open to see his right rib, which was below his chest…
She saw a hideous wound.
Kyla’s eyes suddenly heated up. She had never gotten a good look at the post-operative scar he had after the first liver donation.
Even when they accidentally slept with each other, the room was dark and she struggled so hard that she never got a good look at the scar. Later, he got injured and was hospitalized after saving her. His body was wrapped in gauze, so she never saw his injury then either.
This time, she finally saw it.
The operation wound after the second liver donation was in the same spot as the scar from the first liver donation.
He had undergone two surgeries on the same spot, and the scars became increasingly obvious.
Now, this wound…
“Have you seen enough? Since when could this body make you look at it so intently?” a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out.
Kyla froze immediately, just realizing that Martin Weiss had opened his eyes at some point.
“I… I just wanted to see your wound,” she explained immediately.
“Wound? What’s there to see? If you want to win the three-month bet, you might as well try to seduce me. That might have some effect.”
Kyla’s face reddened. “I… I didn’t think of it.”
“You never thought about winning our bet?” he asked, amused.
“I never… thought about…” She could not speak for a moment.
“Really?” His hand suddenly took hers and pulled hard. The next moment, Kyla was so close to Martin Weiss’s body that it seemed as if half of her body was on him.
“What… What are you trying to do?” His scent filled her nostrils, making her heart beat faster as she stuttered.
“Don’t you find it contradictory to say that you’ve never thought about it? And yet you made a three-
month bet with me? Kyla, you’re not a child. Don’t you know what it means for a woman to take off a man’s clothes?” he said as he stared at her.
She pressed her red lips together tightly and was silent for a moment. “Unfortunately, even if you try to seduce me, I’ll still have no interest in you. Just like how I have no reaction when you lay on me like this! The three-month bet is only a waste of time!” he said coldly.
His words seemed to be humiliating her.
Her face turned red after being pale, and she said hoarsely, “I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time. I’m just fighting for a chance.”
