Ex-Husband Who Has Gone Mad After Abusing His Wife

Chapter 24

1/10

I stood up and prepared to leave, but Rina grabbed my wrist. I wanted to pry

her hand away when she suddenly shrieked and fell backward as though

someone shoved her.

I stood rooted to the ground, clueless.

Before I could figure out what happened, I heard Liam’s stern voice behind

1. “Help her up!”

I turned around woodenly.

Liam was standing about ten feet away. He was glaring at me like a stern

judge.

Seeing that I did not move, he ordered again, “Help her up!”

“It’s okay.” Rina got onto her feet, ran behind Liam, hugged his arm, and said

fearfully, “See that, Liam? I wasn’t lying earlier. Vivi really does abuse me. She

slapped me in the afternoon, and just now…”

Her tears started to fall.

I glared at her disgustedly and turned around, but Liam stopped me. “Don’t

move!”

He sounded like he was going to interrogate me.

I stopped walking and turned back to face him. “I did slap her in the

afternoon, but no one touched her earlier. If you want to know why I slapped

her, you can ask her.”

“She said she has cancer. She wants to die without telling you so you’ll regret

it for the rest of your life,” Rina said while sobbing. “I said, ‘That’s impossible!

You’re so young and pretty, you don’t look like you have cancer. Don’t say that

about yourself!’ She showed me her medicine bottle, and I opened it out of

curiosity. There are only vitamin tablets inside…”

“What did you say?” I interrupted her.

“You know I wouldn’t lie to you, Liam,” Rina began to speak faster. “She really…”

I could not take it anymore. I wanted to drag her out from behind Liam to

make her repeat herself, but before I could touch her, someone shoved me

on my chest, and I fell down. When I lifted my head, I saw that it was Liam.

Veins were already popping on his forehead, but his voice remained gentle

when he spoke to Rina. “Where is the medicine bottle?”

Rina shot a glance at me and said, “It’s the handbag you asked me to give

her.”

Liam turned to order the servant standing not far away. “Get me her

handbag!”

The servant ran to retrieve my handbag. I wanted to get on my feet, but I felt

a bout of dizziness, and I fell weakly on the ground again.

I could hear a voice coming from some distance away. “Liam, please help Vivi

1. Her face is so pale.”

There was no reply.

Suddenly, I caught a whiff of something fruity. Someone was pulling me up.

After I sat up, I saw Rina grinning at me.

Instantly, I felt my stomach churn, and I shoved her away.

“Ow!” she yelped. At the same time, I heard Liam say, “Come back here, Rina!

Let her lie on the ground!”

The dizziness passed when the servant returned.

I managed to prop myself up with the sofa. Liam ordered, “Take the medicine

bottle.”

The servant opened my handbag and retrieved the bottle.

Liam opened the cap and spilled two pills into his palm.

The pills looked white, exactly like what I always ate.

Liam seemed uncertain. He frowned at me, then squinted at the pills.

In two seconds, he brought the pills close to his lips and licked them. His

expression sank instantly, and he glared at me.

Fear seized me, and I blurted, “Someone must’ve tampered with my

medicine. It must be Rina…”

Slap!

While I was speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped me.

He did not show any mercy. The slap made me stumble a few steps before

falling to the ground.

I tasted blood in my mouth, and I felt dizzy again. I wanted to stand up, but I

did not have the strength.

A hand grabbed my hair and lifted it upward.

I was forced to raise my head. Liam’s face was so close to mine.

He glared at me resentfully, as though I were an irredeemable criminal.

“Vivienne, do you enjoy dying so much?”

I did not know how to reply to him. I could only feel fear.

“Do you want to die alone and make me regret it?” His hand jerked hard, and

some strands of hair were pulled from their roots. “Can you be any more

disgusting?”

I could not speak, perhaps because of the intense pain or the fear.

I never wanted him to regret it. He did not want me while I was alive anyway,

so why would he want me after I died?

He glared at me for a while before letting me go. I was about to wipe the

blood from the corner of my mouth before he grabbed my neck and forced

me to look upward.

I could only face his icy visage.

“I’m warning you for the last time,” Liam said through gritted teeth, “If you talk

about cancer or taking your own life again, I’ll deliver you into hell myself!”

I stared at his face and said nothing.

“Answer me!” Liam ordered.

I knew I should not say anything else, but I could not help myself. I swallowed

the bloody saliva in my mouth and said, “Have you ever thought I might be

telling the truth…”

He suddenly clenched his fingers, and I could not speak.

His grip on my neck was tight like a clamp. Very soon, my eyes began to

glaze over. I could only see vague silhouettes.

I was going to die.

He did not have to deliver me to hell. Hell was wherever he was.

Suddenly, the grip on my neck loosened.

Instinctively, I clutched my neck and gasped for air.

After a split second of silence, I heard Liam say, “Get the car.”

I lifted my head. Rina also asked, “Liam, where are you…”

Liam did not answer. He lifted me by my arm, and after seeing that I did not

move, he carried me with both of his arms and slung me over his shoulder

like a sack of potatoes. When I came to my senses, he had already tossed

me into the car.

I grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Where are you taking me?”

Liam stopped. He turned around to look at me and lifted his hand..

I immediately shielded my face, which was still stinging from the slap earlier. I

watched him pull the seatbelt and insert it into the lock.

He was not going to hit me.

I relaxed a little and realized I was still gripping his sleeve, so I let go.

I did not care where he was bringing me. I only wanted him to step away

from me.

Liam stared at me again. I happened to be looking at him too.

It was only a few seconds, but It felt like years.

He grunted and said, “Are you afraid I was going to slap you?”

I did not reply.

“That’s good.” He pinched my cheek and said in a low voice, “I’m bringing your

to the hospital now for a thorough checkup. If you make up stories again, I

won’t be only slapping you!”
