Chapter 468
Liam Sullivan hadn't contacted her these past few days.
She hadn't reached out to him either.
This clean break was for the best.
It saved her from witnessing him entangled with other women again.
The memory of that scene had turned her stomach for days.
She had lost her appetite completely.
Her entire frame had grown noticeably thinner.
Vivian Bennett slept in her hospital room.
Upon waking, she sensed an unusual presence.
Her lashes fluttered as she lifted her gaze toward the doorway.
Liam Sullivan stood there.
He held a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a fruit basket in the other.
His face was icy, his eyes dark and fixed on her.
A terrifying chill radiated from him.
Vivian met his gaze for several seconds.
She didn't understand why he was looking at her with such a predatory glare.
He was the one who had done wrong.
Messing around with his sister, then stealing kisses with another woman at the banquet.
How dare he show up here with that attitude?
Vivian coolly averted her eyes.
She refused to engage with him.
But she could feel Liam moving closer.
He stopped at the foot of her hospital bed.
He stared down at her from his height.
His presence became impossible to ignore.
Liam watched the woman on the bed treating him like air.
A savage rage surged within him.
His hands clenched into fists at his sides.
The quiet room echoed with the sound of his knuckles cracking.
"What are you doing here?" Vivian finally spoke first.
Liam glared at her coldly. "I should be asking you that. Disappearing again? Vanishing for days whenever you're upset?"
His voice was heavy with suppressed anger.
His burning gaze fixed on her unrepentant face.
He had returned to the banquet days ago to find her gone.
He had been so angry he smashed his phone on the spot.
When he called her, she told him to manage his own schedule.
She said she needed space.
By the time he rushed back to the hotel, she had already checked out and left.
He didn't know what had set her off this time.
She just left without a word.
She had disappeared from his life once again, silently.
Liam had his people search for a long time.
They finally tracked her down.
It turned out she had already settled in the U.S.
No wonder he couldn't find her back home.
He immediately flew over.
He had intended to give her a stern lesson.
But then he saw her lying in a hospital bed.
Her face was pale, her entire being looked haggard.
He instantly couldn't bring himself to scold her.
But the anger in his heart refused to be suppressed.
Liam's expression was extremely grim.
"What's it to you?"
Vivian's words were like a knife.
They plunged straight into Liam's heart.
He stared at her in disbelief.
He couldn't believe she would say something so hurtful.
His clenched fists trembled slightly.
He thought of everything he had done for her these past days.
All of it was coldly dismissed by her.
A heart-wrenching pain surged in his chest.
Why did he try so hard to be good to her?
Yet she always ignored his sincerity.
She struck him down cruelly, time and again.
