I picked up my phone to look at the time, only to find that Liam had sentseveral messages in the middle of the night. "Are you asleep? Reply to this as soon as you wake up! I was confused, so I wrote out a quick message, "What is it? Why are you in such a rush?" I sent out the message and began maneuvering my wheelchair to the bathroom to get washed up. I brought my phone with me.

If it wasn't Jack, then all that was left was As I expected, I heard the all-too-familiar nright after that.
"You're right. It was Leah." Liam sighed, probably in exasperation. "Is that woman crazy? Why does she spend all her ttrying to cause trouble for you instead of doing something sensible? "It's because of that Ethan guy, isn't it? She's the one who's trying to pursue him without any self-respect. Why does she keep dragging you into this?" He was indignant and seemed to want to curse her more, but interrupted. "How did you find out?" I had to say that Liam really was capable; even the police were still investigating. However, he found the culprit so quickly.
"I investigated the background of the kidnappers and got someone to hack into their phones, I found the number that called them.
"I have to say, Leah isn't that much of an idiot. Of course, she isn't that smart, either. She didn't use her own phone to call. She used her mother's."

After I hung up, I took a deep breath, but I couldn't help thinking about how Benjamin had leered atand how Luke had slappedseveral times. There were still deep red marks on my wrists where I had been tied up. It all remindedthat I could not forgive Leah this time. Just as I was about to make the call, there was a knock on the door. I thought it was the doctor going on his rounds, so I called out," Thastily made myself presentable, but as soon as I opened the bathroom door, I saw Ethan sitting outside, He was attached to a drip, but he had obstinately made Andy leave and was holding on to the stand.

My heart ached a little, so I wheeled myself over to him. "Didn't the doctor tell you to rest and stay in bed? Look, the wound is bleeding again," I said. I reached out for the call button to call for a doctor He suddenly grabbed me, looking as if he was in great pain. "Eve, the person who tried to hurt you..." I was startled. When I saw him hesitate, I suddenly understood something. I stated fixedly at him, but I didn't fling his hand away. I still had hope.
My tone beccold. "What do you want to say?" He considered it for a long tbefore saying, "You know everything, don't you?" "Ethan, if you can find out who is behind it, so can II paused and added, "I'm willing to believe what you said yesterday."
He had said that he had no feelings for Leah and that it was all due to e lan's wishes. What choice would Ethan make this time? "Don't disappoint me, Ethan," hoped silently.
"Eve, I.. You know how deandpa has ahang always treated Leah and her family... Eve, please. This will be the last time. Don't call the police yet, for my sake."
My heart grew cold. I flung his hand away. "So you call the way here despite the fact that your stitches burst not to see me, but to plead for mercy on Leah's behalf?" Ethan pressed his lips together, unwilling to I couldn't believe his audacity! speak. He didn't dare to loglt into my eyes.
