Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 131

Madeline looked at the man she had loved for eight years.

At the most critical moment, he had become the very person stabbing her in the back.

When she needed medical treatment the most, Lucius actually used his authority as her husband to prevent her from regaining her health.

Lucius felt the weight of Madeline's unprecedented scrutiny. Her eyes were bloodshot, swirling with a devastating, agonizing despair that he had never seen before.

Suddenly, he tried to soften his tone.

"Maddy, just this last time. Once she's better, I'll never see her again. I'll dedicate myself entirely to you."

Madeline stared at him. The man she had shared a bed with for years felt like a total stranger. He was saying things she couldn't comprehend, doing things she couldn't understand.

Was this still the man she loved?

No, whatever they had was completely over.

Her one-sided love for him had officially come to an end.

"You want to steal my reserved surgeon for Liliana," Madeline said, her voice eerily calm. "An orthopedic surgery takes over a dozen hours. She injured both legs, which means she needs multiple surgeries spanning several weeks. For me, giving up this doctor means sacrificing my only optimal window for recovery. You're asking me to pay the price of never walking again. Did you even think about that?"

Lucius shook his head. "That's not true. Liliana won't need that long. The moment she's stabilized, the doctor will come right back to operate on you. It won't delay your treatment."

Seeing Madeline speak with such clarity and strength, Lucius assumed she was exaggerating her condition just to prevent Liliana from getting help.

After all, Madeline had always been hostile toward Liliana and firmly believed Liliana had instigated Leo's actions.

In Lucius's mind, she had every motive to lie.
