I could not speak.
Chapter 83
“But Liam’s going to be a hard hurdle to pass. So…” She opened her purse,
taking out a sheet of paper and sliding it over.
It was a check.
For thirty million dollars.
I stopped short.
Liam’s words rang through my mind again-
“Who’s been here before?”
I asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“Liam’s sure to ask you why you want an abortion, and I need you to hide the
truth about your illness,” Yvette said. “As for the excuse, you can come up with
whatever. You can even say that it’s because I bribed you with money, I won’t
mind.”

I picked up the check. “Alright.”
Yvette looked at me like she didn’t believe me.
“I was never going to tell him about my illness anyways,” I said. “So that’s a
pretty easy condition. Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word.”
Yvette’s gaze was still wary. “Don’t you want to know why I’m doing this.”
“I can pretty much guess,” I said. “You don’t want him to be sad.”
Anyone with the slightest bit of a conscience would be sad upon finding out
that someone they were close to had died. Besides… we were married, too.
I believed that he was still humane to his sister.

Yvette nodded slightly. Her stare bore into me, the same way Liam’s did. “He’ll
be sad. He won’t just be sad, he’ll be resentful, in agony… don’t you want that?
I’m pretty sure no one would be alright with being treated like that.”
Wanted Nothing Mois
It seemed like she knew what Llam had done to me.
Well, Liam had gone to Yvette right after getting the abortion papers. Despite
the fact that he came back for some reason after that, it was clear to see
from what happened that Liam was one to talk to Yvette about his feelings,
So I got a little brave. “Of course.”
Yvette’s gaze grew cold.
“He never treasured me when I was alive, throwing me around and torturing
me all the time. When I die he’ll come to his senses, and go mad thinking
about me. He’ll spend the rest of his life in agony.” I looked at her, lowering my
voice. “I want nothing less than that.”
Yvette said nothing, staring intently at me.
“But that’ll only happen to people who love me,” I said. “People who don’t love
me will feel a twinge of guilt at most, but get back on their feet the next
second. They’ll remarry and start a new family, live their life happily, even talk
Chapter
about my death with their new lovers. To me, this will be the last humiliation.
For him to think that I’m still alive and that I left him for a better life will be my
last gift to myself.”
Here, I picked up the check and smiled at her. “Thank you for helping me stop
Rina. I’ll tell him about this myself.”
When Liam returned, I’d already put the check away.
Before this, Yvette had also given me her name card saying that I could call
her if I needed help.
By ‘help‘, she was obviously referring to hiding my illness.
I thanked her and took it with the check, putting it away in my purse.
Thirty million dollars would be enough to keep my dad alive for ten years.
If ten years still wasn’t enough for Anna to forgive me, that would just be fate.

After lunch, I got in the car first. Liam and Yvette talked for a while, before he
got into the car.
It had been snowing for days now. The streets were covered in a glistening
white, as well as the sky.
Liam drove slowly. I said nothing.
The radio rang with reports of the roads‘ conditions, talking about the
accidents that had been happening because of the weather.
All of a sudden, the volume was lowered and Liam’s voice rang over. “What
did my sister say to you?”
I looked at him. “Nothing.”
“Jeffrey never calls during a time like this.” Liam glanced at me from the
corner of his eye. “Out with it. Did she ask you to get an abortion?”
I said, “You told her to ask me, right?”
Chapter 83 I’ve Wanted Nothing More
Liam grunted. He paused, before saying, “My mom doesn’t want to see me,
so I needed Yve’s help.”
I didn’t say anything.

It was clear from his sister’s demeanor that their family did not like me at all.
Liam glanced at me again. “You knew about this, didn’t you.”
I didn’t get it. “What?”
“My family.” He glared at me, his tone strange. “At least sound more
convincing when you pretend. You’re supposed to sound shocked here.”
I said, “I don’t want to talk to you about this.”
I’d always been sincere to him about everything, from my hobbies to my
hopes and dreams, to my family and friends- I’d told him everything from
the start.
Until I realized today that whatever he had told me was merely the tip of the
iceberg.
That was fine, though. Him and I were through, anyways.
I’d lost interest already.
Silence. Then, Liam stopped the car by the side of the road. “Vivenne Nyra.”
I looked at him.
He turned around. I’m never getting a divorce.”
He’d changed the subject too fast. I didn’t get it.
“Even if my sister swears it to you.” He was completely serious, almost stern.
“She can’t change my mind. I wouldn’t have married you in the first place
otherwise.”
So he thought that Yvette was talking to me about this.

I was overjoyed by the misunderstanding, and asked, “Well, why’d you marry
me in the first place then?”
Liam squinted, reaching out and grabbing my face. “Don’t change the
subject.”
He stared right into my eyes. “Did you say yes to her?”
We never talked about this, so I was able to answer easily. “No.”
Liam didn’t seem convinced. He stared at me for a long time before finally
letting go reluctantly, leaning back in his seat. “My sister said you don’t love
me, and she wants me to divorce you.”
I was really happy that that was how she felt.
Dying as a ‘lovesick wife‘ was too harmful to my pride.
Liam looked at me again. “What did you really say to her?”
I looked out. There were no cars on the road right now, and a little row of
shops nearby.
If he were to throw me out of the car in a fit of rage right now, I wouldn’t die
outside.
And so I said, “I told her myself that I wanted an abortion.”
Liam stared at me, unmoving.
I said, “I wanted her to persuade you for me. I don’t want to have your kid. It
wouldn’t be right for us to have a kid with the state we’re in anyways, I…”
Thump!
Before I could finish, Liam can flung the car door open.
Chapter 83 I’ve Wanted Nothing More
Despite having prepared myself, I was still scared. I stared at him anxiously
as he stood in the biting cold wind with only a shirt on, taking out his
cigarettes.
If I had known earlier that getting pregnant would get me this treatment… I
would have drugged him a long time ago.
I waited five minutes, seeing Liam’s ears slowly turn red from the cold. I slid
into the driver’s seat, pushing the car door open.
Liam heard the noise, frowning at me. “What?”
His voice rushed in along with the cold air, shocking me and making me
tremble. “You can smoke in here, I don’t mind.”
He held the car door open.
