He wouldn’t let Chloe have another child.

“Liam, I’ll never bother Summer again! I swear! I’ll do whatever you say. I’ll never bother Summer again! I’ll disappear from her life forever! Please let Milly come back!” But Liam was unmoved.

“No anesthesia.” 

“Liam… Aaaah…” Chloe screamed. 

Liam was numb, but he laughed, a terrifying sound, at her screams. 

“Summer, did you hear that? I avenged you, I avenged our child. Please come back.” 

“I can’t live without you…” 

The powerful CEO knelt in the hospital corner, sobbing uncontrollably; even the bodyguards didn’t dare intervene. 

The rain outside mirrored the city’s sorrow.

But without hesitation, he knelt before her, a desperate beggar. 

“Tell me where Summer is. I can’t live without her. I can’t.” 

“Hahaha, you knelt for her.” Chloe wept, her defeat complete. She was just a plaything; Liam never loved her. 

She laughed, her eyes filled with malice.“She’s dead. She’s gone to hell. Go find her there!
