บท 147: Unexpected Engagement

Alex Carter could thank Ethan on her behalf, and Ethan was her former benefactor. She needed to draw a clear line where it was necessary.

Recalling Ethan's silent departure just moments ago, Lily felt a deep discomfort in her heart.

That was so unlike him.

He was always the type to shout, rage, and throw violent tantrums, hitting and kicking things when angry...

When did he start acting like this?

Without pulling out her IV, Lily sat in bed. Alex helped her adjust the pillow, supporting her so that she could lean comfortably against the headboard.

"I'm sorry," Alex said, sitting by her bedside and looking at her with guilt. "If I hadn't insisted you go to that class reunion, none of this would have happened."

According to the police investigation, the cold air in the changing room could have killed someone in under ten minutes.
