Chapter 764
After what happened last time, Leia was filled with fear toward Ethan. She subconsciously trembla
Janice thought that Ethan had vented enough. After all, Leia had been unconscious for a whole day, and the medical team Ethan hired had taken extra care of her during that period.
“Kid, Leia has just woken up. You’re scaring her like this.
Ethan glanced at her calmly. “Mom, did you think that the matter of her hurting Liv would end here?”
Janice’s expression shifted as well. She warily stood in front of Leia, blocking Ethan’s sharp gaze.
“Look, her head is already injured. Even if she did something bad to Liv in the past, isn’t this enough to make up for it?”
Janice liked Olivia, and she pitied their marriage. But Leia was her daughter, after all.
The human heart was made of flesh, not stone. If Janice had to choose between her deceased daughter- in-law and her daughter, of course, she would choose her daughter.
Sneering, Ethan hobbled up to Leia.
He had knelt for so long that his knees were injured. So, his gait was different from usual.
“You know very well what she did. She sacrificed countless lives and sowed discord between me and Liv to ruin our marriage.
“She tried to kill Liv on multiple occasions, and even when Liv was in the advanced stage of cancer, she still maliciously provoked Liv. I’m wondering if she’s a human or a demon at this point.”
Seeing the sorrowful look on the face of her son, who was much taller than her, Janice felt hart soften a little.
But both of them were dear to her. What could she do?
“Ethan, your sister is at fault, but Liv is already gone. No matter what you do, she won’t hear of it anymore..
“Let the dead rest in peace, and let the living continue to live so that they can atone for their sins, alright?”
Ethan wouldn’t have any of it. Reaching out, he pulled Janice away. “Mom, I can understand your remorse toward her. But what you owe her and what she owes Liv are two different things.”
“What exactly are you trying to do, Ethan?”
Ethan’s gaze was cold. “I just want to do unto her all the things she has done to Liv.”

There was a sharp dagger in his hand. Leia looked at Ethan, stunned. “Are you going to kill me for her sake?”
“No.”
Ethan took her left hand. “Liv once lost a hand. You should return it to her.”
Leia held her breath. “You know that my hands are the most important things to me.”
Ethan gently caressed her face. Her face was clear of obstructions now, and her original features were exposed.
This face was different from his. He had felt elated when he found out that this sister, whom he thought was gone forever, had returned to him.
He swore to himself that he would protect his sister well.
But in the end, his efforts to protect Leia resulted in him losing the love of his life.
Ethan cupped her face gently. “Why would you do this? Leia, I was your brother who loved you the most!”
He was saying the tenderest words, but he was unsheathing the dagger and cutting the tendon on her hand.
Leia was in extreme pain, but she didn’t make a sound.
She simply stared at the blood streaming from her wrist, stunned.
Hot liquid dripped on her wrist. It was Ethan’s tears.
Their gazes met, and Leia saw the pain in his eyes.
She felt pain in her b*dy, but he felt pain in his heart.
Back then, with two of his most beloved people in front of him, he had chosen Leia.
But after Olivia left, he hurt his sister.
He was the most shameless person in the world.
He was the one who should have died.
But he couldn’t die just yet. He had to clear all the obstacles for Olivia.
“Does it hurt?” Leia asked him.
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
