Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 421

Leandro looked down at Gloria, a rare trace of fatigue appearing in his eyes.

"Do you even realize what you're doing?" Leandro asked.

"I'm sorry..." Gloria still spoke, "I know you care about him, I know you love him... I didn't mean to hurt him, I really didn't mean to..."

"He's your grandson too," Leandro said slowly, "Your own flesh and blood."

These words seemed to pierce Gloria like a sudden, sharp knife, making her feel pained. She had been clinging onto Leandro, but now her grip slightly loosened.

"He's just a child, he doesn't understand anything," Leandro said, "Why can you bear to hurt him, again and again?"

"Do you blame me?" Gloria's tears fell, her eyes red, "I already said I didn't mean to hurt him, do you still blame me?"

"He's still in the hospital," Leandro looked at her, speaking slowly, "As a father, I can't even protect my own child. What else can I do?"

Gloria took a few steps back, tears still hanging in her eyes, but she started to laugh.

"Indeed..." she said, "I have hurt your son, I deserve to die! I'm sorry, I'll pay you back! I'll compensate you right now!"

As she spoke, she began frantically searching around the room.

"Where's my knife? Where's my knife?" she was looking for something, babbling nonsense, "I'll pay you back! I'll thoroughly pay with my life!"

Leandro watched her irrational behavior silently. After a long while, he finally spoke again, "What will it take for you to let yourself off the hook?"

Upon hearing his words, Gloria's movements froze.

Let herself off the hook... Leandro had said those words to her countless times since he was a child. Gloria never really listened, but this time, she seemed to suddenly understand what he meant.

"Do you really hate me that much, you want me to atone with my death?" Gloria asked, "Your father doesn't want me, now even you don't want me anymore... Fine, fine!"

Gloria said "fine" twice, then abruptly turned and rushed towards the wall!

Leandro was always prepared, seeing her action, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her.

Gloria struggled a few times, but finally couldn't hold back her tears.

"You and your father are tormenting me, all you do is tormenting me—" Gloria's eyes were terrifyingly red, "He only thinks about that woman! He only cares about that woman! And you even married that woman's daughter! Even Valerio is her son! You are driving me insane!"

She accused them with all her might, Leandro listened quietly. After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Maybe it was my fault since the beginning."

In the end, the police took Gloria away from the Reynolds family.

Karan was frantic, her eyes red, constantly tugging at Leandro, "In her state, how can she be taken away by the police? She'll break down!"

Leandro stood at the front door, watching the police car gradually drive away, he remained silent.

Herman Garcia arrived as the police car passed by, he parked his car in front of Leandro, getting out with a serious expression, "Leandro, what on earth is going on?"
