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 explained.
To that, she flashed 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.”

She had no idea why Connor was in her room, but she lanew 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 blanket 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 extrdecision, 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. Snowflakes landed 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 twe met. I remembered how you savedfrom drowning. At that moment, I thought it’d be nice if I could marry you.

“You abandoned my baby and me. It tooka 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 threatenedand even hurt the people who cared about me. I do not know if you hateor love me more.
“What I do know is that you will not stop if I am still alive. This thing between us will haunttill 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 betrayedin the end.”
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she continued. “I don’t blyou for falling in love with another. I guess I have to blfate for where we are right now.
