Chapter 1163


    Apart from Eleanor and her circle of friends, Aidyn and Jill were frequent visitors to Liana’s abode.


    Despite Jill being with child, it didn’t hinder her from making her way over to Liana’s, whipping up


    meals, and indulging in chit–chat. She simply avoided any mention of baby matters.


    Everyone was aware of Liana’s inability to bear children, so Jill was cautious to circumnavigate the


    topic. Yet Liana remained nonchnt. She would often stroke Jill’s belly, engaging in conversation with


    the unborn child. Liana would always mention that she had a grand surprise in store for the baby upon


    its birth…


    And what was this grand surprise? Liana inscribed in her will. “All my possessions will belong to Aidyn’s


    child…”


    Liana enlisted awyer to entrust her assets in her will and once the arrangements were in ce, she


    rang up Eleanor.


    Eleanor, on the brink of stepping out with Nina, was startled by Liana’s call. “Liana, what’s the matter?”


    Casting a nce at her wristwatch, Liana announced, “I’ve just epted a project overseas, need to


    undertake some volunteer medical work for a month, so I won’t be able to join you today”


    Eleanor halted in her steps, her brow furrowed in concern, “You’ll be away for a month?”


    Liana nodded in affirmation, “Yes, you know how it is with volunteer work, it usually takes a while. A


    month is actually quite brief.”


    Eleanor asked, “Why’d you suddenly take up something like this?”


    Liana was actually a hospital director, supposed to be running the show, but she was always on the


    front lines, taking on all sorts of work, now even heading off for volunteer work.


    Liana replied, “Doing something meaningful beats killing time.”


    Eleanor didn’t know how to respond. She couldn’t stop Liana from doing good deeds, so she asked,


    “So, someone’s going with you?”


    Again, Liana nodded, “Yep, doctors from all sorts of hospitals are going. We’re all in this together.”


    Eleanor felt a bit better, “Then remember to video call me every day, call me every day. If anything


    happens, tell me right away”


    Liana smiled, “Sure thing.”


    After lots of nagging from Eleanor, which Liana promised to follow, she hung up. Liana grabbed her


    packed suitcase and hit the road to the airport.


    The volunteer work was real, Liana’s name was on the list, but she didn’t actually go. It was just a ruse


    to throw Eleanor off…


    Seeing the list, Eleanor was relieved and messaged Liana to stay safe on the road.


    On her way to Panama, Liana saw the message, replied with a smile, ‘Will do, don’t worry‘, then turned


    off her phone, settled into her seat, and gazed out the window…


    Liana soon reached Panama, rented a ship, andnded on a small ind.


    The ind had been cordoned off because the owner had supposedlymitted suicide….


    Liana lifted the tape and ducked under. The ce was overgrown with weeds and abandoned, a stark


    contrast to when Tyler was around.


    Standing in the mansion, Liana looked around, feeling indescribable. She walked stiffly, dragging her


    heavy suitcase, step by step into the vi.


    As soon as she opened the door, ck footprints were everywhere, left by peopleing and going.


    The once neat and clean living room was now filthy because of these footprints.


    Liana put down her suitcase, took out the meat from it one by one, and put them in the fridge. Then she


    got cleaning supplies from the bathroom and scrubbed the living room until it was spotless.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She cleaned from the first floor all the way up to the third. When she reached the birdcage room, she


    froze, afraid to take another step. She seemed scared that if she opened the door, she’d see a sight


    that would break her.
