Chapter 659

She was in the hospital, clutching my arm desperately, her voice hoarse as she told me the baby was gone.

And I thought she was just emotionally unstable, deliberately trying to get my attention this way.

She begged me through tears not to give her the sedative, saying she would have nightmares, that she would suffer terribly.

But I held her down forcefully and let the nurse insert the needle into her vein.

Liam Sullivan stood frozen in place.

Memories flooded back like a tide.

Vivian Bennett curled up on the hospital bed, desperately hiding her arms, tears falling like broken strings.

She cried with such despair, such helplessness.

Only now did he understand that back then, he had personally pushed her into an even deeper abyss.

The nightmares she had were nightmares of losing her child.

And he, instead of waking her from those nightmares, had deepened her pain in the cruelest way possible.

No wonder she always wanted to escape.

Who wouldn't have their heart broken after being hurt to that extent by him?

When she tore up the marriage certificate and threw away the ring, he felt like she had stabbed him right in the heart.

Only now did he realize that his pain, compared to what she endured, was as light as a feather.

Yet he had thought he was the one suffering a great injustice.

"Let her scold me," Liam waved his hand, his voice raspy. "I deserve this."

His heart felt like it was being cut repeatedly by a blunt knife.

He desperately wanted to know every bit of pain Vivian had endured that he was unaware of.

"Sophia Miller, tell me everything that happened that night," he lifted his bloodshot eyes, almost pleading. "Every detail. I need to know."

Seeing him like this, the fury in Sophia's chest gradually subsided.

Vivian would never volunteer to say these things.

She was the one who knew best what happened that night.

She wanted Liam to know exactly what Vivian had endured for him.

She took a deep breath and began to recall.

Every scene, every word, every detail, she recounted clearly.

"Now you should understand why Vivian always wanted revenge, why she wanted to kill Luna Clark and Isabella Sullivan."

Sophia's voice began to tremble.

"That night, when they saw you didn't come, they took the chance to humiliate Vivian."

"They said you had abandoned her, called her a shameless slut, said she was promiscuous."

"Isabella Sullivan even threw a pile of Vivian's explicit photos to the media."

"Vivian went insane on the spot, lunging forward to tear up those photos."

"But the media were like starving wolves, desperately taking pictures, fighting for the headline."

"You weren't there. No one was there to protect her."

"She was alone, surrounded and humiliated by so many people."

"So pitiful, yet not a single person stepped in to help her."

"She bore all that pain by herself."

Sophia's tears fell.

"Even in such agony, she was still thinking of others."

"Her cousin couldn't bear the humiliation and ran out."

"Vivian, despite her own physical weakness, rushed out to chase after her."

"Such a good person. Why did fate have to make her fall from that footbridge?"

"In one night, she lost everything."

"The engagement was gone. The baby was gone. She lay in the hospital, life hanging by a thread."

"This world has always been so cruel to her."

Sophia raised her tear-filled eyes, staring intently at Liam.

"Do you know?"

"When I arrived at the scene, Vivian was lying in a pool of blood."

"I picked her up. She was already delirious."

"She thought I was you."

"She was so happy, thinking you had come to save her."

"She said many things to me."

Liam shuddered all over.

His lips trembled violently.

"What... what did she say?"
