Chapter 706 To Kill Or Not To Kill


    Alina''s POV:


    Noreen''s devilish voice echoed in my ears. Every word that came out of her mouth made me feel


    guiltier.


    I trembled and didn''t dare to look into my father''s eyes. He must''ve been terribly disappointed.


    Perhaps he even regretted having a daughter like me.


    "Alina! Is she telling the truth? Look at me!" Dad roared in disbelief.


    I didn''t dare to answer. I clenched my fists so hard that my nails dug into my palms.


    "Alina! Say something, God damn it! Did you do it?! Just admit it if you did it!" He was in so much


    pain that he coughed violently before he could finish his words. It was by sheer willpower that he


    was still able to talk.


    I couldn''t bear to look at him. Complicated feelings surged in my chest and I felt suffocated. I was


    afraid that he''d die, but also afraid that he''d live.


    But it was toote for me to regret what I had done.


    Dad refused to let it go, so I finally lost myposure and answered him.


    "Shut up! Yes, I did it. So what?" I pressed my palms against my ears and screamed at the top of


    my lungs. In the end, the urge to destroy everything gradually gained the upper hand.


    There was no going back now.


    Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrobly, though I didn''t know why. Wasn''t I supposed to be a


    cruel person? A cruel person wouldn''t cry like this.


    I grabbed Noreen''s arm tightly and asked agitatedly, "Didn''t you say that as long as he takes the


    medicine three days in a row, he''d die in his sleep and no one would find out the truth? It''s the


    fourth day! Why the hell is he still awake?!" Noreen swatted my hand away carelessly and said in an


    indifferent tone, "Actually, I''m also curious. Maybe it''s because Leonard''s so strong that the dosage


    wasn''t enough to kill him."


    My lips started to tremble and my mind was in a mess. I knew Noreen had fooled me, but I couldn''t


    argue with her.


    I couldn''t argue with her because this was what I asked for.


    My father was still in disbelief and continued to question me. However, he looked exhausted, and


    his voice grew low and hoarse.


    I was at a loss. Even though she had cheated me, I grabbed Noreen as though she was the only


    thing that could save me.


    "Tell me what to do. My father won''t forgive me for what I''ve done if he survives this!"


    Noreen pushed my hand away again and looked at me in disgust. "Why should I care? You are an


    adult, Alina. You should take responsibility for your actions."


    "Alina!" my father cried again in a raspy voice. "Don''t listen to her! She''ll kill you— Ahem..."


    His angry voice frightened me. I took a few steps back and couldn''t help but nce at my father,


    who was sprawled on the ground.


    The sweat stered his hair to his forehead and his lips were as pale as death.

    It was the first time I''d seen him so frail. He had always been a gentleman and never showed his


    weak side in front of the younger generation.


    I knew that this weakness was only temporary. If the drugs wore off, he''d be the fierce warrior


    he always was.


    As great a warrior as he was, he was a terrible father. He even married me to a stranger without


    consulting me.


    Thinking about this, I grew desperate. I felt like aplete loser.


    "You can end this, but you''ll have to do it yourself," Noreen suddenly said in a low voice.


    I looked at her expectantly. "What? What do I have to do?"


    Noreenughed and then pressed a knife into my palm. "Alina, a dead man can never hurt you."
