Chapter 72


    Ethan reached out to touch her forehead, but she dodged his move. “Mr. Miller, please don’t cross the


    line.”


    “I just wanted to know if you’re still running a fever,” he exined.


    To that, she shed a caustic smile. “Don’t you think you’re quite ridiculous? You were the one who tied


    me up under the cold shower. You’re not a three–year–old–you knew the consequences, so why did


    you act like you cared after I caught a fever?”

    “I didn’t know you were weak. And I didn’t know you’d be in critical condition after getting a fever.”


    Her smile widened. “Does that matter? Plus, we are divorced, but you keep acting like you are in love


    with me. That’s sickening.”


    She had no idea why Connor was in her room, but shenew that it wouldn’t be wise to have him stay


    around her.


    Now that she was back to herself, she gently pulled Connor away from her. She then tossed the


    nket aside and took out the IV drip needle from the back of her hand.


    Droplets of blood trickled down the tiny wound, but she did not wince nor take a look at it.


    “You …”


    Still feeble, she slowly got out of bed with a determined look in her eyes.


    Straightening her back, she told him, “Ethan, you were the one who cheated and asked for a divorce. If


    you are still angry about your sister’s death, I can make it up to you with my death.”


    Without warning, she hopped up to the balcony nearby. They were on the seventh floor, and a fall might


    mean paralysis or death.


    Ethan, shocked by her extreme decision, yelled, “Liv, calm down!”


    Dressed in thin pajamas and bare–footed, she stood there in the middle of the icy winds that ruffled the


    white curtains. Snowkesnded and melted on her bloodless face. Her eyes were calm and devoid


    of any passion for life.


    “Ethan, you might not know this, but I have loved you for many years. I fell in love with you from the first


    time we met. I remembered how you saved me from drowning. At that moment, I thought it’d be nice if I


    could marry you.


    “When we started dating, I had the best time of my life. But I also started worrying every day. My life


    has been smooth sailing from the start, and I worried that one day, God might take away my blessings.


    “I allowed myself to carefully savor your love for what I hoped would be a long time. But karma caught


    up to me soon. In two years, I went from heaven to hell and lost everything overnight.


    “At first, I couldn’t believe that you had cheated on me. I even thought it was a nightmare and that you


    might return to me one day. But I woke up to see you swimming toward Marina.


    “You abandoned my baby and me. It took me a year to get everything back on track. There was no


    point crying over spilled milk, so I respected your decision.


    “I thought that we would live separate lives after the divorce. But look at what you did to me. You


    threatened me and even hurt the people who cared about me. I do not know if you hate me or love me


    more.


    “What I do know is that you will not stop if I am still alive. This thing between us will haunt me till death.


    It’s a miserable life that I’m tired of.


    “Ethan, you know I was once a cheerful and free spirit. After I agreed to marry you, I felt like I lost my


    wings. I sacrificed my freedom to stay by your side, but you still betrayed me in the end.”


    Tears streamed down her cheeks as she continued. “I don’t me you for falling in love with another. I


    guess I have to me fate for where we are right now.


    “If you are still stuck in a rut because of your sister’s death, I will atone for it with my death! From now


    on, I would love to enjoy my freedom. We’re even.”
