CHAPTER 294: FEEL DEFEATED

Ryan immediately snickered the moment Jane’s direction of anger turned from him towards Liam and he couldn’t help but equally turned to Liam as he gave him a look of provocation, as if telling him he was going to see how he was going to get out of the situation.

Liam had actually flinched because he didn’t expect Ryan to bring up such a sensitive topic, and as soon as Jane shouted his name, the man had immediately leaped and was by the side of her bed, holding her hand as he pampered her face with kisses.

"Baby, I already told you, that’s not it. You know how much I love you. How can I give up on such a beautiful, intelligent, wonderful, fantastic woman? How dare I?"

"Baby, don’t you see? Ryan knows that you’re not feeling well, and he’s still bringing past sensitive topics. He’s still trying to hard to hurt you and yet he is your brother! Baby. I feel bad on your behalf."

Liam immediately jumped into the role of comforting his wife because he was not ready to be the direction of her anger, only for the man to be met with a pair of angry glaring green eyes as Jane was not ready to listen to him.

Ryan was standing by the corner, laughing as he watched how his brother-in-law tried to unstuck himself from the mud that he had just dug for himself but all this immediately came to a stop the moment Liam whispered something into Jane’s ear and the girl’s anger immediately disappeared as she turned to look at her brother, her eyes glazing with anger.

"Hey! what did you say to her?"

Ryan was busy trying to figure out what Liam had said to Jane, but the moment he saw the pink tips on Jane’s ears, the man couldn’t help but show an expression of gagging.

"Liam, that’s not fair. You’re trying to use sex to seduce my sister? Shame on you!"

"I mean, she’s my wife. What else do you want me to use, huh? What do you use on Chloe when you want to bail yourself out?"

Liam left Jane’s hands as he got Cross closer to Ryan and whispered the statement to him, not intending to let Jane hear him because he would be in trouble if so, only to earn a glare from Ryan because the man was absolutely right.

"Hmph! I’m not speaking to you."

Ryan decided that speaking to this brother-in-law of his was going to immediately heighten up his blood pressure, and he was not in the mood to deal with such today.

The man pushed his brother in law aside as he rushed towards Jane’s side, immediately continuing with his evaluation as he nodded from time to time.

"You are good to go sis. You don’t need all these machines right now. All you need is a very healthy diet. Of course you also need to move around a lot so as to straighten your limbs, give you back the energy that you require and once you start feeling a little bit energetic, you should also do a couple of exercises to bring back your body into the normal routine that it was used to."

"I also never got to ask what led me into the situation, like what exactly happened. I know I picked quite a few hints while I was in a coma, but not much yet, mind filling me in?"

It suddenly hit Jane that she didn’t even know in detail what exactly led to the situation today, and the moment she said that, the air around immediately changed as both brothers seemed to be in a very solemn and bad mood.

Liam’s whole demeanor immediately changed to a very sharp one, one that even made Jane feel like she was shivering because this is not the liam that she used to know.

"You were poisoned. You were meant to die alongside our sons. Mary helped us with the antidote, but your body had to recover on its own."

"The machine gave us a flat heartbeat twice. That means you left us twice, but God helped us twice."

"I saw the machine go flat. I saw you almost leave this world but God said your time is not yet here."

"Alaric and Aston were not meant to be in this world as we are speaking. Rather, they were meant to follow you into the other side of the world."

Liam spoke in a continuous, robotic manner, but Jane could hear the pain and the disturbance behind his voice as if it is a topic that he did not intend to even get close to, a topic that he did not even intend to touch.

"And that is why we are here today. That is what led to the situation today and the woman who dragged you is Mother Chen? Edward’s mother. The woman who did plastic surgery to resemble mom. Your mother, that is."

"The plan all along was to poison you, blame it on your mother and have the whole family disintegrate as we lived in both pain, revenge and anger towards each other."

"The whole situation was initiated by the man that I helped Philip taking to jail."

"Speaking of Philip, the man is dead."

Jane shockingly turned to look at Liam the moment she heard that Philip was dead, and as her eyes darted towards Ryan, back to Liam, to Ryan and to Liam, the only question that she was trying to ask through her eyes was how and why.

"The man was not strong enough mentally. He was still able to be influenced by the same person who killed his whole family, and he intended to come for my remaining children again."

"It was in that push and pull that he lost his life. It was either his life or my life and my family’s life."

By now, Liam was standing by the window side as he narrated everything, his happy mood and his jovial appearance nowhere to be found, as what one could detect from this man standing by the window was the constant feeling of anger, constant feeling of bloodlust. That is all he wanted. He wanted to spill some blood.

"Are all these people dead? Like the one who poisoned me and everything?"

"No. The only dead person is Philip. The rest are very much alive. But for how long they can hold in? That’s a question for another day."

The siblings couldn’t help but shiver because the kind of aura that Liam was a emitting other moment, coupled with how he let out his words was one full of bloodlust, full of blood thirst, the words came out laced with a lot of anger, laced with a lot of cruelty, but even a stranger would immediately shiver the moment they heard such words.

"Liam. Hubby? Hubby? LIAM!!"

Jane had tried beckoning him, but the man seemed to be in his own world, prompting the girl to immediately shout his name, an action that was not received well by Liam because the moment he turned to look at the pair of siblings, Ryan immediately shielded his sister because he could see the emptiness behind his brother in Law’s eyes, and it reminded him of the time that the man changed while his sister was still in a coma.

Looking at the Liam right now, this is the Liam that was triggered by the temporary absence of his sister.

"Relax, bro. It’s all well. She’s here, she’s awake, and you have defended her. You can do anything that you feel without guilt bro."

"If you continue acting in that manner, you’ll end up scaring your wife. Do you want your wife to fear you? Do you want your wife to despise you?"

"There, exactly! Get rid of that aura. It’s not a type of aura that you can display before your wife. This is not the man that she knows."

To make Liam calm down and go back to his normalcy, Ryan had to play some little mind game because he knew what Liam feared the most was Jane leaving him. And even though it was not the right kind of words and it was not the perfect approach, the man had to because otherwise Liam was going to go berserk and if he went that much, he didn’t know if the man would end up hurting himself, his sister or his nephews.

Liam’s mind immediately came back and the man couldn’t help but cover his face as he sighed, looking so confused and at the same time feeling so defeated.

Liam carefully approached Jane’s bed as he leaned forward to peck her forehead, muttering the words ’forgive me, my love’ constantly as if it was some kind of mantra.

He had intended to leave the room because he felt so ashamed of himself. He actually let his other side almost harm his family!!

He wanted to just enclose himself in a space, away from his wife and kids, where he won’t be able to hurt them for a while.

"Stop thinking that Liam, you won’t hurt us. Don’t you dare think of going any where."
