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.

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 gaped, then turned to stare at Cynthia. “I’m sorry, Cynthia, I didn’t mean to hurt you,” He said
apologetically.
The truth was, he was hurting from this too. Leon was not the kind to disregard gratitude, and he remembered
everything that people did for him, including the Shears‘ kindness and Cynthia’s efforts.
However, now, he had no choice but to hurt Cynthia.
Perhaps this was part of life!
“I don’t blame you, and I can understand you fully, but there’s just one thing I need to know–will you ever come
back to me?” Cynthia replied, biting her lip.
She always loved Leon, and to her, Leon was far more important than her or even the Shears‘ reputation!
Even though Leon was demanding for the engagement party to be called off, if Leon was willing to eventually
return to her side, she could always persuade Benedict and the rest to let him go!

“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.”
