CHAPTER 272: CHAPTER 272: THE BOX HIDING THE DEVIL’S SECRET

Ethan Lynch sneered with a laugh.

"Then do you know why she fell ill?" Ethan Lynch continued asking, "That is, the cause of her illness."

Julian Lawson slightly lowered his eyes.

"By being silent, you’re admitting you know." Ethan Lynch said, looking at Julian Lawson’s expression.

Julian Lawson did not deny it.

He indeed knew.

It was all because of him, because of his distrust toward her, which led to everything happening.

Ethan Lynch looked at Julian Lawson’s detestable hypocritical appearance, emotions surging.

"You later forcibly abducted her, intending to use force on her, do you know the destructive harm you’ve caused her?" Ethan Lynch’s voice was tainted with anger.

Julian Lawson still remained silent, acknowledging it.

"She’s almost been driven to death by you, do you know that!" Ethan Lynch almost shouted out this sentence.

The more he looked at Julian Lawson’s appearance, his anger was like a heavy hammer, pounding him repeatedly, making him want to tear Julian Lawson apart!

Bianca Lynch’s words kept echoing in his ears.

"Julian Lawson wants to force Serena, and Serena... collapsed."

"Brother, I’ve gone to see Serena. Only then did I realize, she’s been seeing a psychiatrist for a while now."

Aside from that day when Bianca Lynch called him, he quickly contacted other acquaintances in Aeston and sought out Silas Hawthorne.

He learned about Serena Sterling’s subsequent situation.

Now, Serena Sterling has lost all desire to live, like a walking corpse.

And the culprit is right in front of him, Julian Lawson!

"Speak!" Ethan Lynch roared, "Don’t be silent! Open your mouth and speak!"

He grabbed Julian Lawson’s collar again, forcing him to speak.

Seeing the situation turning bad, Jude Chaucer, who had been watching, immediately stepped in to intervene.

"Doctor Lynch, President Lawson’s recent condition hasn’t been good. At that time... he was out of his mind," Jude Chaucer explained.

In fact, he also thought what Julian Lawson did was really inhumane, but right now he’s holding Julian Lawson’s salary, so...

"The second time President Lawson went to see Miss Sheridan, it was also to explain, but Miss Sheridan had already..."

At this point, Jude Chaucer couldn’t continue.

He also knew what happened that day.

Serena Sterling collapsed upon seeing Julian Lawson.

"Already what?" Ethan Lynch breathed heavily, glaring fiercely at Jude Chaucer.

Jude Chaucer didn’t know how to continue, he could only look at Julian Lawson.

Julian Lawson was still silent, his mouth like it had been welded shut, not speaking.

Ethan Lynch laughed in anger.

"Why did Serena like you back then?"

Ethan Lynch’s eyes were red.

"It was you who wanted to divorce Serena."

"It was you who spent days going in and out with Vera Hansen."

"Serena was heartbroken for a long time, barely came out of it to accept someone new, and you couldn’t stand it."

"While others were happy together, you forcibly abducted Serena again, Julian Lawson, weren’t you in love with Vera Hansen? And now what are you doing!"

"Speak!"

Ethan Lynch roared, the safe in his other hand rattling loudly.

"I’m regretting," Julian Lawson’s voice was hoarse, "I couldn’t stand seeing her with Silas Hawthorne."

"I thought back then, if she and I had a child, would everything be different?"

Julian Lawson painfully closed his eyes: "It’s my fault."

"A child?" Ethan Lynch laughed in anger upon hearing this.

"Julian Lawson, you’re still thinking about a child?" Ethan Lynch laughed mockingly.

The image of Serena Sterling covered in blood in the emergency room flashed before Ethan Lynch’s eyes again.

And the scene when Serena Sterling was issued a critical condition notice, almost dying on the operating table!

At that time, he urgently sent a nurse out to have the critical notice signed, but no one came back for a long time.

He personally went out to inquire, only to learn from Bianca Lynch that she had called Julian Lawson, who didn’t answer.

Moreover, Julian Lawson was with Vera Hansen!

It was Julian Lawson who pushed Serena Sterling, causing her miscarriage.

While Serena Sterling was in critical condition, Julian Lawson accompanied Vera Hansen, ignoring Serena Sterling!

Anger surged, and Ethan Lynch blurted out: "Do you know..."

Julian Lawson lifted his head, looking at Ethan Lynch, waiting for him to speak.

But Ethan Lynch, looking at Julian Lawson, suddenly felt that letting Julian Lawson never know about this might be a good thing.

Watching Julian Lawson kept in the dark.

Watching Julian Lawson not knowing that the child he yearned for had long been killed by his own hands.

Watching Julian Lawson painfully seeking knowledge, yet failing to obtain it, suffering endlessly.

Ethan Lynch felt a twisted pleasure in his heart.

"What do you want to say?" Julian Lawson’s heart raced.

For a moment just now, he felt like he was about to uncover a terrifying truth.

But Ethan Lynch stopped.

Looking at him with twisted eyes, as if he was staring at a repulsive insect in a ditch.

"Is there something I don’t know?" Now, Julian Lawson was the one getting anxious.

Ethan Lynch tightened his grasp on the safe in his hand.

There were plenty of things Julian Lawson didn’t know!

There was a huge secret inside the safe he held!

"What happened to Serena?" Julian Lawson sensed foreboding.

They were talking about a child earlier.

Could it be related to the child?

Julian Lawson’s heart was suddenly gripped tightly, as if he knew something, yet was clueless.

"Ha..." Ethan Lynch looked at Julian Lawson’s desperate look and suddenly laughed.

"Ethan Lynch!" Julian Lawson shouted.

"Hahaha..." Ethan Lynch laughed, laughing out loud, laughing so hard that he couldn’t catch his breath.

Laughing so hard that he couldn’t stand straight.

He truly thought Julian Lawson was a pathetic creature.

Being fooled by Vera Hansen!

If Julian Lawson knew the whole truth, would he smash his head in?

Ethan Lynch truly felt too expectant!

He wanted Julian Lawson to experience that feeling.

Anxiety, restlessness, fear...

"Ethan Lynch, speak!" Julian Lawson was getting more terrified looking at Ethan Lynch.

His heart pounding like a drum, its beats echoing in his head, his hands trembling, on the verge of breaking down.

But Ethan Lynch just kept laughing, to the point of tears.

Julian Lawson grabbed Ethan Lynch’s collar, reversing their positions instantly.

Just now Ethan Lynch was forcing Julian Lawson to speak, but now, Julian Lawson wanted information from Ethan Lynch’s mouth.

Looking at Julian Lawson’s desperation, Ethan Lynch felt satisfied within.

"Panicking?" Ethan Lynch laughed.

"Ethan Lynch!"

"When I was asking you earlier, why didn’t you speak?" Ethan Lynch continued laughing.

Julian Lawson wanted to say more, but Ethan Lynch shoved the safe into Julian Lawson’s arms.

Julian Lawson didn’t understand Ethan Lynch’s intentions.

"Do you still remember what happened in Frelia?" Ethan Lynch asked with a smile.

Julian Lawson clenched his teeth and nodded, staring intently at Ethan Lynch.

"Therefore, you also know that Serena later found it very hard to conceive, her physical condition was poor." Ethan Lynch continued.

Julian Lawson nodded again.

"That’s the password." Ethan Lynch pointed at the safe in Julian Lawson’s arms.

Julian Lawson, eyes reddened, looked at Ethan Lynch.

"Think." Ethan Lynch’s voice was deep, carrying a certain eerie feeling, "Julian Lawson, carefully recall everything."

"Think about what you’ve missed these past days, what you’ve lost."

"When you figure it out, when you know everything, you can open this box containing a devilish secret."

He wanted Julian Lawson to admit repeatedly and recall repeatedly the wrongdoings.

He wanted Julian Lawson to undergo those unbearably painful experiences again and again.

And then, when Julian Lawson learned that most painful truth, he would realize he was a fool being deceived!

He wanted to carve these matters into Julian Lawson’s heart word by word with a knife.

He wanted Julian Lawson to remember all of it forever!
