At this moment, Maya Spencer suddenly turned around and looked to her left, toward where Liam Spencer was standing.
She saw Liam standing beside her hospital bed with eyes full of anger, as if he wished he could consume her alive.
Toward Liam Spencer, Maya had too much hatred, so she gave him a hard eye roll, turned her head coldly, and no longer looked at him.
She knew that her failed suicide attempt would only make him angrier.
Since they had already torn each other apart, she couldn’t be bothered to put on an act with him anymore, especially since she was sure Charlotte Owen had told him everything she said at the birthday party.
On the side, Liam watched the girl ignore him, and seeing the hint of sarcasm in her eyes, he felt a squeeze in his heart.
Hence, he couldn’t be bothered to suppress his anger any longer. He swiftly stood up from the chair, walked to the bedside, lifted his left foot to kneel on the bed, bent down, stretched out his right hand to choke Maya’s neck, and said angrily, "Maya, do you think you can just end it all by dying? I can responsibly tell you, if you die, Lillian Morris and Morris Clan Group will join you in the grave. If you want to drag them down with you, I completely agree."
Listening to the man’s threat, Maya felt wronged and her muddled mind suddenly became clear with anger.
She held her breath, glared angrily at him, and wished that he were the one who had died.
What right did he have to oppress and bully her with his power, and what right did he have not to let her die? Maya was furious and didn’t care about the wounds on her wrists, raising her hands to slap him, as if only by hitting him could she release some of the resentment in her heart.
Feeling her anger and defiance, the man immediately released his grip on her throat and grabbed her wrists.
When he saw the blood seeping through the bandage on her left wrist, he violently pushed her away.
Because he pushed Maya with great force, when she was pushed aside, the back of her head hit the headboard hard with a "bang".
Instantly, Maya was dazed by the impact.
Standing by the bedside, Liam heard the sound of her head hitting the bed, feeling a tightness in his chest, and couldn’t help but cast a concerned look at her.
Despite hating Maya to the core at this moment, he still felt sorry for her.
But seeing her hatred toward him, he quickly withdrew his gaze and replaced it with a frosty demeanor.
Seeing the man’s lofty appearance and the disdain in his eyes, Maya grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at him, shouting, "What more do you want? What exactly do you want? Can’t I even offer my life to you?"
This time, Maya was completely helpless. A few days ago, she went to beg him and talked nicely to him, but he refused. Now, she couldn’t even succeed at suicide, leaving her utterly despairing.
She liked Lillian Morris, and it was beyond her control. What could she do if she couldn’t control her heart? What on earth could she do?
Liam listened to her questioning, took a deep breath, stared straight into her eyes, and said, "Make your life worse than death."
Hearing Liam’s harsh words, Maya’s tears burst out uncontrollably, and she felt that Liam’s hatred was inexplicable.
Seeing Maya’s tears, the man was extremely annoyed. He hated her for crying over Lillian Morris, so he rolled his eyes at her and walked out of the hospital room.
On the hospital bed, seeing Liam about to leave, Maya feared he would stubbornly continue to target Lillian, so she chased after him barefoot, hugging him tightly from behind, explaining, "Liam, don’t do this, okay? Please don’t push me anymore. I didn’t mean to like Lillian Morris. If I could control it, of course, I’d wish to like someone single. But emotions are uncontrollable. This is the only time in my life I’ve truly fallen. Please don’t make me feel guilty about my feelings. What you’re doing is too cruel."
The girl’s embrace stunned Liam. Although she had compromised before, this time, Liam was moved by her words.
She wasn’t wrong. Feelings are uncontrollable. If he could choose, he would also choose not to love Maya.
But what about the pain in his heart? What about the imbalance? Facing Maya’s honesty, he couldn’t refuse anymore.
If he insisted on continuing his attack on Lillian, Maya might act more extremely and drift further away from him.
So, he slowly removed Maya’s small hands from around him, saying, "You should rest first."
Listening to his somewhat calmer tone, Maya quickly ran in front of him, blocking his way, pleading, "Promise me, okay? Don’t push me anymore, I beg you."
Seeing the girl’s humility and tears, Liam’s heart twisted like a knife. He took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and forcefully wiped her tears, saying, "Maya, for the sake of another man, you’re so humble. Have you considered my feelings? How could you do this to me?"
Maya didn’t know that with every word she begged for Lillian, it was torture for Liam, making his life worse than death.
"It won’t happen again in the future. Let’s pretend he doesn’t exist, that this matter doesn’t exist, okay?" Facing Liam’s dominance, Maya had no choice but to comply.
"Can you really do that?" The man asked with a cold laugh.
"I can, I definitely can. Didn’t you see how well I did before?" Maya nodded vigorously in agreement while wiping her tears.
Seeing the tear-streaked face of the girl, Liam’s heart ached, but he knew he had no way out. He could only compromise with Maya because he still couldn’t let her go and wanted to keep her by his side.
So, he swallowed, and calmly said, "Alright! I’ll give you a chance."
Hearing the man’s promise, Maya cried out once more, hugging Liam tightly, promising, "I’ll definitely do it."
For Lillian, she sold herself to Liam, unconditionally sold herself to him.
Seeing her sobbing uncontrollably, the man choked up, his hands felt like they were broken, unable to lift, unwilling to hold her.
When it came to feelings, Liam had a cleanliness obsession, and he never thought the girl he liked wouldn’t like him back.
Even though he kept Maya by his side, he still couldn’t fully accept her. He didn’t know when he could get rid of this entanglement, and he didn’t know how long it would take him to enter Maya’s heart. Perhaps he would never have that chance, or ever remove Lillian from her heart.
After they reconciled, Liam immediately stopped his sanctions against Morris Clan Group, and Maya no longer cried, made trouble, or threatened to take her life.
Unexpectedly, after leaving that night, Liam never visited her again.
Thinking back to when she hugged him and he didn’t respond, she felt a bit uneasy. She feared he might suddenly change his mind and push her down a dead-end again.
Not until a week later, when Sister Taylor was helping to pack things for her discharge, did the long-absent Liam finally appear, standing at the entrance of her hospital room.
