Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 673 Not That Simple

"I don't have much to say. I genuinely hope you refrain from troubling my wife any further, and I

sincerely hope you fully comprehend the consequences of your actions," Callum stated.

"What do you mean by that?" Slevin raised an eyebrow.

"It's simply the literal meaning."

"Since that's the case, I'm sorry to disappoint you. If Miss Lynwood refuses to cooperate with me, I

cannot guarantee that nothing untoward might happen."

After hearing this threat, Callum sneered coldly and said, "In that case, I'm intrigued to see what you're

capable of and what you can do."

Suddenly, Slevin slammed the table and swiftly rose to his feet. Instantaneously, a wave of tension

swept through the room, casting an atmosphere thick with unease and apprehension. After a

momentary pause, he gradually released his tightly clenched hand, his voice resonating with a chilling

undertone that he forcefully restrained. "Mr. Winthrop, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I assure

you that I have no intentions of causing any harm or taking any adverse actions toward you."

"My wife has made it clear that she won't cooperate."

"Fine then. Escort Mr. Winthrop out."

Following his words, Slevin gestured to the person beside him, prompting an immediate response as

someone stepped forward with a humble demeanor, bowing respectfully while speaking, "Mr. Winthrop,

our CEO requests that you leave."

Afterward, Callum responded with a cold, contemptuous snort before turning on his heel and resolutely

walking away.

Meanwhile, Slevin watched his departing figure and an inexplicable sense of foreboding welling up

within his heart. "Why do I feel like this man is not as simple as I imagined?"

However, his assistant beside him smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Damazio, I think you're overthinking.

You've investigated his background, and he's just the CEO of a corporation."

"Does his attitude of coming here today and threatening me seem like that of an ordinary CEO?"

After hearing this, the assistant was stunned into silence, entirely at a loss for words. Then, he asked,

"Are you suggesting this man has another identity?"

"While the situation remains unclear, I strongly sense there is more to him than meets the eye. I

suggest conducting further investigation to delve deeper into his background."

Then, the assistant nodded in compliance and slipped out of sight.

...

Meanwhile, Yelena stood at the doorstep of the Damazio Residence. She hesitated, her hand

tentatively hovering before the door as she was unable to gather the courage to knock. Since she had

previously left on her own volition, she wasn't sure how Simone would react to her return.

Nevertheless, Yelena summoned her courage, knowing it was imperative for Hank's safety, and firmly

knocked on the door.

This time, it was not Simone who answered the door but the Damazio Family's nanny instead. "May I

ask who you're looking for?"

Yelena hesitated momentarily and then asked, "Is Hank here?"

After hearing this, the nanny's expression immediately turned wary, and she queried, "What business

do you have with Mr. Damazio?"

Yelena lowered her head and stammered, "I… I am concerned about his safety, so I came to see him.

Can you let me in?"

"Miss Sullivan, I understand why you're here, but I'm sorry. Mr. Damazio is not available to receive

guests at the moment."

The nanny recognized her, recalling when Yelena and Hank were in a relationship and he had brought

her home on previous occasions. However, he had explicitly instructed the nanny not to disclose his

situation to Yelena, leaving her with no alternative but to comply with his wishes.

"Please. I just want to see him once and promise that as long as he's safe, I'll leave immediately." NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Yelena's heartfelt plea tugged at the nanny's heart.

"Miss Sullivan, I implore you not to make things difficult for me. This isn't appropriate. You two have

already broken up, so please stop entangling each other. Moreover, Mr. Damazio's words were quite

harsh then, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for you." The nanny was unwilling to witness this kind-

hearted girl being repeatedly hurt, so she offered her sincere advice to Yelena and urged Yelena to

leave.

"Madam, please believe me. I promise that I will leave immediately after seeing him." Yelena was

aware that her actions might seem foolish to others, but she couldn't find peace within herself until she

witnessed Hank's well-being with her own eyes.

Nonetheless, the nanny could do nothing but lower her voice and secretly tell Yelena the truth.

"Actually… Mr. Damazio is critically ill now and receiving treatment at the hospital, so he's not at home.

I can't help you even if you come to me."

Yelena's eyes widened in disbelief as she processed the information. "What? Is his condition truly that

serious?"

"Miss Sullivan, I genuinely don't have any further information to provide, no matter how much you

inquire. That's all I can share." After saying this, the nanny's heart sank as she realized she had broken

her promise to Simone and Hank by revealing the situation to Yelena.

"Can you tell me which hospital he's in?"

"I can't disclose that."

Yelena's mind raced as she recalled why she had left the Damazio Residence. However, in light of this

newfound information, her first instinct was to reach out to Elspeth. Accordingly, she briefly explained

her current predicament to Elspeth, hoping that her friend would lend a hand in locating the hospital

where Hank was receiving treatment. Within moments, Elspeth found the hospital and promptly shared

its location with Yelena.

As Yelena arrived at the hospital, she discovered that Hank had been informed about her knowledge of

his address. Consequently, he had instructed the people at the entrance not to allow her inside his

room. Desperate, she pleaded fervently at the door. "Please, let me in. I want to see Hank. I need to

know his condition. Why is he critically ill?"

Meanwhile, Simone stood at the door, her appearance marked by exhaustion and noticeable weight

loss due to the recent upheavals she had endured. Then, she uttered, "Yellie, it's not that I refuse to let

you in. It's Hank who doesn't want you to come inside."

Despite the discouraging situation, Yelena refused to give up. Her determination shone through as she

pleaded, "Please, just let me in to see him. Perhaps with Elspeth's assistance, I can help with his

condition."

If it were in the past, Simone might have entertained some expectations, but she had come to realize

that her son's illness was not as straightforward as Yelena believed. Hence, she explained, "Yellie, let

me be honest. Hank's condition isn't simply a result of an epidemic as he hasn't been infected. It's an

inherited disease within our family, passed down every third generation. Unfortunately, it's his turn this

time."

Nonetheless, Yelena found herself utterly taken aback by the revelation, leaving her rooted to the spot,

frozen in disbelief. "What? An inherited disease?"

"The Damazio Family carries a hidden hereditary disease that surfaces once every three generations.

Those afflicted with the disease do not live past the age of 25. Their bodies begin to deteriorate at 24,

experiencing gradual aging and eventual organ failure. When I gave birth to Hank, I underwent

thorough examinations, and there was no indication of any issue. I cannot fathom why it has suddenly

appeared now. Regrettably, there is no known treatment for this disease. So, Yellie, it was for your well-

being, regardless of the reasons that Hank broke up with you. I hope you will understand and refrain

from coming to see him any further, allowing him to find peace of mind in his difficult circumstances."

Suddenly, Yelena's emotions overwhelmed her, and she couldn't hold back the tears that welled up

inside. "Mrs. Damazio, if things are as you've described, I cannot bring myself to break up with him."
