Upon hearing the sound, Liam suddenly lifted his handsome face to look at her.His suit was already terribly wrinkled, his shirt buttons torn off and scattered. His once deep and dark eyes were now bloodshot, resembling a fierce beast lurking in the depths of a long-hidden night, oppressive and sharp, suffocating."You lied to me, didn't you?" Suzy frowned. "What?" "You weren't sincerely choosing Jeffrey, were you? You were just angry, weren't you?" She withdrew her hand abruptly, masking all the emotions that cared for him, pretending to be impatient. "Mr. Park, I thought you were someone who could easily move on, but it seems you're just another person who enjoys complicating things! Unfortunately, I'm not interested in continuing this game any longer—mmph!"Before Suzy could finish her words, Liam kissed her aggressively.He swallowed all the remaining words from her mouth, the ones he didn't want to hear.Liam's kiss was urgent, devoid of desire or technique, but carried a rust
Suzy took a few steps back, grabbed the shirt from the sofa, put it on, and was ready to head out."The one who should leave is me, this is your house." Suzy’s nails dug deep into her flesh to restrain herself from giving anything away. "I’ll be staying at Wendy’s place for the next few days, and I will properly hand over my work before resigning. Call me when your wedding preparations are complete.""Suzy, I’ve told you, I have a thing about cleanliness.""...So?""We’re not divorced yet, you’re still my wife, this is your home. Are you planning to have an affair with Jeffrey while staying at Wendy’s house?"Suzy blinked, clearly not having considered all this.It seemed he really cared about her relationship with Jeffrey, even thinking she’d meet up with him when she mentioned staying at Wendy’s place.Liam took a deep breath and spoke hoarsely, "I’ll be on a business trip for the next few days. I won’t be home, so just stay here."His words sounded more like a command.He instantly
"I'm not," Suzy stopped in her tracks, not moving forward, "Going there now would only give him hope, making our divorce impossible, and Sophia wouldn't get what she wants.""Liam is currently in a coma, and the doctors don't know when he'll wake up. It's up to you whether you come or not," Clive added at the end, "Sophia doesn't know about this... nor do Liam’s parents. He came directly to me last night."Suzy's pale lips quivered, her worries outweighing her concerns. "Which hospital is he in?"...Suzy thought that perhaps Clive was trying to avoid Liam’s parents, as he had taken Liam to the hospital where Melissa often stayed, not the one where Liam’s mother was.Of course, this was also the hospital where she found out she was pregnant.So, she entered very cautiously, afraid of encountering the doctor or nurse who had attended to her before.Fortunately, it wasn't the weekend, and there were few people around, with not many doctors and nurses moving about.Suzy followed the room
"Doctor!" Suzy suddenly interrupted, then grabbed the doctor's sleeve and pulled him aside. "I have an urgent matter now, I'll come to see you when I'm free, I have to go now!"Taken aback by her sudden sharp tone, the doctor nodded stiffly and left with a puzzled expression.Behind her, Clive approached, walking in a way that made Suzy's heart race.It was fortunate she managed to stop the doctor from talking.He immediately asked, "What was he saying just now? I didn't catch it.""Nothing important, I had some issues during a previous health check, so he asked me to hurry back for a follow-up."Clive raised an eyebrow. "Why did he ask you to discuss a follow-up with your husband?""Why do you keep asking about this?" Suzy felt annoyed. She wasn’t close to Clive, and she found him really irritating—always asking questions.However, Clive was the type to probe deeper."Just curious! It’s fine, if you don't want to say, I can ask the doctor.""It's because the check-up showed I might ne
When he spoke her name, it shattered the facade Suzy had struggled to uphold. Even in his coma, he continued to call out her name..."Forget me, Liam."If she could turn back time, she would have deleted Liam from WhatsApp immediately, and would not even have joined any alumni group chats! That way, she would never have met this man.He had given her the most unique, most precious, and purest love in the world.It was the most obvious and one-sided love Suzy had ever experienced in her twenty-something years of life!Unfortunately, her time for being loved had run out, and she had to transform from a princess back into a Cinderella."Suzy..."Liam, with his eyes tightly closed, murmured her name again, then seemed to be saying something.Suzy carefully moved closer to listen and could barely make out what he was saying.He was saying, “I don’t want a divorce.”...Liam's hospitalization ultimately couldn't be kept secret.When Sophia rushed to the hospital and saw Clive, she immediate
Liam's voice, though hoarse and weak, still carried a sharp and commanding tone.Startled, Sophia immediately withdrew her hand."I, I just wanted to check your temperature.""No need," Liam's voice sounded distant, with a hint of sorrow beneath it.When he had first opened his eyes, he had thought for a moment that the woman before him was Suzy! He thought she had finally decided she couldn't part with him!However, when Liam forced his eyes open further and realized it was Sophia, the disappointment that swept over him was chilling to the bone..."I heard you drank yourself into the hospital, I was really scared! Liam, even if you don’t think about your own health, you should think about your parents! The entire Park Group is waiting for you, and you do this... all for one woman?"As Sophia spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.There was heartache, resentment, and grievance.She was so envious of Suzy!Why did she have everything Sophia had always longed for but could never attain? Wha
But when opened his eyes, everything was gone.Nothing remained.Only a lingering, familiar scent floated in the air.Clive's expression froze, and he frowned. "She didn’t come! She doesn't care whether you live or die!""I know she was here.""Weren't you unconscious just now?" Clive's words slipped out before he realized their unintended implication. He frowned in dissatisfaction. "Why do you need to know? Even if she did come, she didn't stay! This is so frustrating! But lucky, God is fair!”It was fortunate that a woman as heartless as her cannot bear children!Of course, he didn't voice that last thought.Clive could predict that if Liam knew about this, he would think Suzy insisted on the divorce because of her inability to have children—just as he had initially thought.Since they were going to part ways anyway, the reason didn't matter much now. Everyone just needed to get back on track.He sneaked a glance at Liam’s expression and wisely chose not to say more.Suddenly, Liam s
After that night, Liam gained a lot of clarity. Since being with him caused her so much pain, it would be best to give her the freedom she deserved.Suzy had never lived life on her own terms. He had hoped his presence would alter her path and help her move beyond her past, but now it was evident she was truly worn out.Liam could see that the fatigue Suzy carried these past few days was not something she could fake."You're just making it worse! Just divorce her already. Planning a wedding is only going to move you," Clive said, then met Liam's stern gaze.Finally, Clive sighed. "Alright, I'll arrange your discharge."...After leaving Liam's hospital room, Suzy didn’t immediately leave the hospital; instead, she went to the hospital’s back garden, a place her mother had loved.Because Melissa spent the latter part of her life mostly in the hospital, this garden became the only place where Suzy could mourn her.Tired from walking, Suzy sat on a bench in the pavilion, watching patients
