Chapter 351
The driver''s side door opened, and Liam stepped out, looking at Izabe with aplicated
expression. After hesitating for a moment, he called out, "Ms Windham."
Izabe frowned, "Liam, the Izabe from back then, died in that fire. Even if she hadn''t been
burned to death, she and Brett would have been divorced by now. I can''t be your Ms Windham
anymore."
Liam lowered his head, seemingly worried about Izabe''s sharp gaze, "I''m sorry."
His apology was partly for his slip of the tongue just now and partly to make amends for his past
indifference towards Izabe.
"Ms Salotti, what I''m about to say might be too much, but I still want to say it. Please give President
Windham another chance; he knows he was wrong. He''s been living in pain ever since you left
three years ago. Last night, he almost drowned trying to find the hair tie you casually threw into the
river."
Izabe shook her head, "That''s a real shame."
Her words wereced with sarcasm, "If you knew it was too much to say, you shouldn''t have said it.
Haven''t you ever experienced that kind of pain? As a bystander, what right do you have to tell me to
forgive him?" She felt that these people were saying sorry, but they had been so ruthless when they
hurt her.
Liam''s face stiffened. Izabe was right; he didn''t have the right. But he had also seen how Brett
endured the past three years, so his heart softened.
People''s hearts were always hard to determine as good or bad, and Liam''s stance leaned towards
Brett from the beginning.
"Ms Salotti, I know that no matter what I say, I can''t make up for the pain you''ve suffered in the past.
President Windham got a stomach injury because of you back then, and his stomach problems
have be so severe that he often bleeds internally. Although we tell him to see a doctor, he
refuses, saying he wants to taste your past pain first."
"Do you remember when you stabbed his palm with a silver fork? He has a permanent scar on his
left hand, and his nerves are so damaged that it''s almost crippled."
"He even pulled out all his toenails and his left hand''s fingernails, just like you did back then. He
burned your name-shaped scar onto his left chest with a cigarette and used a knife to stab his leg
daily. He''s truly experienced all the pain you''ve gone through."
"Ms Salotti, you should know that President Windham''s parents died when he was young. Do you
know how his parents died? They died protecting Brett in a car ident, and Brett witnessed the
whole thing. He stayed in that car with his deceased parents for nearly three hours, and when he
was finally rescued, his whole body was soaked in blood. He''s been afraid of water ever since and
can''t swim."
"President Windham grew up in a repressive environment and didn''t know how to love. When he fell
into the water that year, you were the one who saved him. Even though you were just a blurry figure
to him, he always remembered you. If it weren''t for Kaley Cot impersonating you, nothing would
have happened between you two. However, President Windham still fell for you. At that time, he
agreed to exchange you for Kaley just to divert the kidnappers'' attention. Because President
Windham had many enemies, and only by doing so could he divert their attention from you and
ensure your safety.
When you lost your memoryter, he also had his difficulties. At the time, you were mentally broken
when you were rescued, and only hypnosis could save your life. You were forced to give up your
child because you were diagnosed with stomach cancer and needed treatment. After that, President
Windham also grieved the loss of the child, holding the child''s ashes and crying many times. He
cared so much for someone that he gave up his dignity and kneeled on the ground."
Izabeughed, "Liam, you''ve said so much, but you forgot that Brett''s parent''s deaths weren''t my
fault. But my father''s death and the injuries on my body are directly rted to him. I saved him back
then, and even if heter admitted that he mistook me for someone else, he couldn''t me others. I
admit I was wrong, too, for wanting to marry him so badly. Back then, I should''ve just let him be with
Kaley."
Liam reflexively argued, "President Windham never loved Kaley."
Izabe scoffed, "Isn''t that even worse?" He tried to have both but ended up hurting both. He''s
clearly a scumbag.
Liam was at a loss for words.
"Ms Salotti, I came to tell you all this today just to let you know that President Windham loves you.
He kneeled on the ground because he had already experienced the pain you went through."

Izabe sneered, "So what?"
Liam helplessly looked at her, not expecting his advice would be useless.
Izabe said, "He regrets it now, so he wants me to forgive him? He loves me, so should I ept
him? It''s not that easy! Liam, since you care so much about Brett, why don''t you be with him? I''ll
bless you."
Liam was speechless, and Izabe looked at him mockingly, continuing, "Please mind your own
business. If you still want to convince me to forgive him, why don''t you try losing everything first and
experience my pain?"
Liam looked at Izabe, understanding that no one could truly empathize with another person''s
pain. Izabe raised her umbre and, as she left, she said to Liam:
"I''ve already paid back everything I owed him, but he''ll never be able to repay what he owes me. I
want to see Niki within three days. Also, since you all know I''m still alive, please tell Brett to send
me the alimony after the divorce. Eight billion will do."
Izabe''s ride showed up. She gathered her skirt, hopped in, and tried to shake off the rainwater on
her umbre before wrapping it in a stic bag.
The driver nced at her through the rearview mirror, gossiping, "What happened? Why is there a
guy lying on the ground? I think I even saw blood."
Izabe leaned back in her seat, looking at the scenery outside with a fading smile.
Funny... she had just treated him the same way Brett treated her, and he couldn''t take it already.
Back then, she had starved for four days and knelt for half an hour.
Outside the car window, wind and rain mingled, and leaves rustled.
Liam helped Brett up, "President Windham, I did my best."
Brett was obviously in so much pain that he was delirious, mumbling the same sentence over and
over: "Izabe, don''t go."
Blood still oozed from his mouth as he leaned on Liam, convulsing. His already pale face, soaked
by the rain, resembled an old piece of paper. His lips were bloodless and lifeless. If it weren''t for his
weak breath, one would think he had frozen to death right there.
Liam carried his cold body, hurriedly put Brett in the car, and rushed to the hospital.
After the examination, the results were, of course, very severe. Brett had started running a high
fever sincest night and woke up before dawn. The first thing he did after waking up was to ask
where Izabe was he wanted to find her.
Fortunately, Liam had secretly sent someone to follow her when she left yesterday, so he knew right
away when Izabe got in the car.
Brett insisted oning here, so Liam had no choice but to drive him to the graveyard.
Without Brett''s instructions, Liam just sat in the car, watching. He saw Brett kneeling in front of
Izabe and kowtowing. The car had soundproofing, so he couldn''t hear their conversation, but he
could guess the oue from Izabe''s expression.
To Liam, Izabe was already dead, died in that fire. Even if she was resurrected, she was no
longer the Izabe they knew.
Everyone knew this, but Brett didn''t.
Liam didn''t expect that the blow Izabe dealt would be so huge that it almost killed Brett.
Besides the high fever, Brett also had a perforated stomach, throat inmmation, damaged vocal
cords, and even heart problems. Upon arriving at the hospital, he was rushed into the emergency
room.
