Scott secretly wished for someone like Liliane, with her morals and personality, to meet her demise.
However, being a doctor, it was his duty to save lives, regardless of whether the person was good or bad. Discrimination had no place in the eyes of doctors.
Unfortunately, Liliane had grown weaker after undergoing several resuscitations. She sat weakly against the bedframe, watching television. For some reason, she felt a sense of satisfaction upon learning about Estherâs funeral.
The moment Esther arrived at the Ansteys, she became Lilianeâs enemy. Estherâs exceptional physique and studious nature made her shine like the sun, overshadowing others. As a result, Liliane gradually grew to despise her.
However, upon discovering that Esther had taken her own life by throwing herself into the sea, all those negative emotions vanished.
âYou deceived me, Liliane⦠Why?â Liam expressed his unhappiness, blaming himself for his naivety and misjudgment of character.
âHow could she pretend so readily that she was the one who helped me when it was actually Esther?â
After learning the truth, Liam finally understood why Esther had slapped him before.
âI see⦠I was wrong all this time!
âI deserve this!
âSo what if my eyes are healed?
âI mistook my benefactor for someone else, and all I received in return for my mistake was a light slap.â
âLiamâ¦â Liliane, wearing an oxygen mask, smirked and giggled. âHow does it feel to know that your lifeâs savior is dead? Are you heartbroken, perhaps?â
Liamâs anger surged. âIf you hadnât lied to meâ¦â
âYes, I did lie to you. But youâre the most foolish person here, arenât you?â Liliane glanced at the television and raised an eyebrow.
Her words further fueled the fire. âI wonder if she regretted saving you when you humiliated her for my sake?â
Liam clenched his fists, ready to strike Liliane. However, the caretakers intervened and stopped him.
Scott had made it clear to Liliane that he was not a god and wouldnât be able to save her if she deteriorated again. Liliane had hired two caretakers to protect her as someone who cherished her life.
âYou seem angry, Liam. Why is that?
âIs it because you mistook your benefactor for someone else? Or is it because Esther died due to the cyberbullying from your fans?
âRegardless, I thank you. You know, I had been wishing for her death for a very long time.
Unfortunately, nobody is above the law, and I would have faced punishment if I had killed her!
âBesides, thereâs no such thing as a perfect crime, so I did no need to risk my own well-being just to end her life. So, I should thank you⦠Thank you for fulfilling my dream of Estherâs death.â
Liam was consumed by rage at that point. In fact, if he had a knife in his hand, he would have considered murdering Liliane. He had never encountered someone as venomous as her.
âLiliane!â
Witnessing the caretakers prevent Liam from approaching her, Liliane felt reassured that she had made the right decision in hiring them.
Filled with disgust, Liam recalled all the information the netizens had uncovered about Esther and asked furiously, âYou⦠You caused Thomasâ accident, didnât you!?â
Liliane retorted with a smug expression, âLiam, even the police conduct investigations based on evidence, you know? You claim that I instigated that event? Whereâs your proof?â
Liam gritted his teeth. âYour desire for Estherâs death is proof enough.â
âYou accuse me of committing a crime, yet you have no evidence to support your claims. On the contrary, all the evidence points to Estherâs wrongdoing!â
In the past, Liam had believed Esther to be an ungrateful woman who repaid kindness with hostility. But now that he knew she was his benefactor, he realized how wrong he had been.
âEsther was the kind of woman who had so much love for others that she would help even a stranger. She could not have done all those terrible things to Thomas.
âUnless⦠This entire situation has been a massive conspiracy from the beginning!â
