Female Novel
Chapter 757
It turned out that when she was being hurt deeply, even breathing seemed to hurt her. They shared thesame world, and that suffocated her with a sense of suppression.
She wanted to struggle and resist, but her arms were tightly bound, and she was unable to move. Shecould only tilt her head back and forced herself to endure his relentless demands.
This man had completely lost control. As he suddenly leaned in, he pressed her against the stonetable. She couldn't see any calmness or restraint in his eyes.
All she saw was an intense mixture of madness and devastation.
The overwhelming surge of love and hatred that had been pent up within him flooded out like a burstingriver, engulfing them both in its powerful current. They were lost in the depths of the ocean, unable tofind a way out.
A cold sensation washed over Shannon's body. Her mind began to buzz, and she felt as if the worldwas spinning.
She wondered what had driven this man to such a state of madness. She broke the silence.
“Micah, I have just set aside all my hatred and come out from the depth of the firepit. I've adopted achild and am ready to start anew. Do you really want to push me back into the abyss and make mecontinue to harbor hatred?”
Micah's movements abruptly halted, and the madness in his eyes rapidly faded away. He graduallyregained his sanity from the state of losing control. His pitch-black gaze fell upon her, locking her firmly
within his sight.
“Shannon, since you've already come out from the firepit, why won't you try to accept me? Apart fromallowing them to chop off your arm, I knew nothing else. If you still dwell on the pain of losing your arm,I can compensate you with one of mine. That way, we'll be even, and you won't have to hate meanymore, all right?”
As he spoke, he gently caressed her face. His fingertips trembled slightly.
His touch was so delicate as if he was afraid of hurting her. Shannon turned her face away slightly andreplied softly, “Don't pressure me. A foster daughter alone can't make me stay. If you push me to adead end, I'll only choose to let go.” novelbin
The glimmer in Micah's eyes gradually dimmed, and he slowly stood up. He asked with a hoarse voice,“I heard from your brother that you're planning to leave. Where are you planning to go?”
Shannon tidied her clothes and walked toward the garden exit as she said along the way, “It hasnothing to do with you. If you don't bother me, I might be able to live peacefully for a few more years.So please, don't bring disaster upon me.”
Micah was at a loss for words when he heard that. After seeing her off, Micah slowly looked at thestrand of hair in his hand. It was pulled out during their struggle just now.
She left resolutely, leaving only these few strands of dark hair that brought him a sense of gloom andsadness.
Strands of dark hair, strands of emotions. By leaving her dark hair, does that mean she also left herthreads of affection behind?
Meanwhile, inside Hallsbay's medical base, Olivia seized the opportunity to visit Veronique in the wardwhile Justin was in the laboratory. Seeing the skinny woman lying on the bed, Olivia felt a suddensense of relief.
Veronique was tormented to the point where she had become nothing but skin and bones.
She was on the verge of death. Judging by her condition, her final moments should be within these fewdays, which greatly relieved Olivia. Once Veronique died, her marital bond with Justin wouldautomatically dissolve, and the Xuereb family could then welcome Lettie into their home.
When Olivia saw Veronique open her eyes, she sneered, “You're awake. You really have a tough life.After struggling for so long, you're still hanging on. But it doesn't matter. Judging by your condition, yourtime is likely coming in these few days. Just die peacefully. Justin has already agreed to marry Lettieafter your death. Rest assured. Lettie is kindhearted and magnanimous. She will treat your son well.”
Veronique coughed softly twice. She was unable to utter a word. Her gaze fell on Olivia's face with ahint of mockery. Olivia looked at the oxygen mask on Veronique's face, and a flash of ferocity flickeredin her eyes.
Perhaps I should let her die today to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, she immediately put it into action. She walked straight to thebedside. Just as her hand was about to touch the mask, a cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
“If she dies at your hands, be prepared to spend the rest of your life in jail.”
Olivia quickly withdrew her hand and instinctively looked towards the door. The moment she sawJustin, she felt a sense of guilt. Justin's gaze was very scary. She had never seen such a fierceexpression in his eyes.
“I-I didn't. I just wanted to remove her oxygen mask and talk to her for a bit,” Olivia said.
Justin chuckled coldly and walked away.
Upon seeing the situation, Olivia quickly followed suit. In the corridor, Justin glanced sideways at hismother and said coldly, “Don't take unnecessary risks. Her time is almost up. If you cause her death,the Revelle family won't just let it slide. At that time, what awaits you will be endless imprisonment.”
Olivia shuddered all over, belatedly realizing that she had acted too rashly.
In order to get rid of someone whose time is almost up, she almost landed herself in trouble. Now,thinking about it, a chill ran down her spine.
She asked, “D-Do you still mean what you promised me before? Once she's dead, you'll immediatelymarry Lettie.”
Justin looked at her with a sly smile and said, “If she's carrying my child, I'll undoubtedly fulfill myresponsibilities. However, if she's carrying someone else's child, I won't be burdened with thehumiliation of being a cuckold.”
Olivia quickly retorted, “She's indeed carrying your child. I personally retrieved it from you...” Olivia's
voice trailed off abruptly. She had nearly exposed the truth.
“Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes. Just make sure you keep your promise when the timecomes,” Olivia said. Justin responded and gestured for her to leave. After watching Olivia enter theelevator, he turned around, pushed open the door, and entered the room.
The toxin inside Veronique's body started to flare up again, causing her to curl up into a ball andconvulse continuously. Justin hurriedly rushed over and held her in his arms.
“It should be soon. Zain has completed the CT report just now. It says that more than sixty percent ofthe cancer cells in your body have been destroyed. Hang on for a few more days, and you will definitelyrecover.”
Outside the door, Olivia went back to the ward again. She originally intended to tell Justin to comehome for dinner in the evening. However, she heard Justin's earlier words through the partially opendoor.
What? Her cancer cells have been destroyed? She'll definitely recover? What's going on? Could it bethat they have already found a way to cure Veronique? How could this be possible?
How could this be possible? Olivia was so shocked that she was completely stunned. She stood still inthe same spot for quite some time before finally coming to her senses. She must find someone withinthe medical base to understand the situation.
Veronique must die. If she didn't die, Justin would not marry Scarlett. In the end, Scarlett wouldbecome the other woman, destroying someone else's marriage and shamelessly getting pregnant witha married man's child.
