Chapter 134

She’s got her knife stashed in there! Could it be… Elgin figured it out?

Letitia didn’t dare to think further, holding her breath, not daring to even let out a peep.

Elgin gently removed her hand, “What’s up, scared I’ll touch your pillow?”

“I, I didn’t.”

“You afraid I’d replace it?” As soon as he finished speaking, Elgin, quick as lightning, yanked the fruit knifehidden in the pillowcase

Letitia was totally gobsmacked. He… he actually knew she had hidden a knifel

How did he know?!

“Surprised, aren’t you?” Elgin’s well-defined hands gripped the knife handle, “You hid it so well, yet Ifound it…”

“You, you.” Letitia stuttered, unable to get the words out.

Once again, she felt the terrifying depth of this man!

Elgin’s voice was nonchalant. You had your bodyguard buy so much fruit, but the fruit knife wentmissing It wasn’t hard to guess.”

Letitia bit her lower lip.

“There’s only so much space in a hospital room, where could you hide it? Naturally, inside the pillow,”Elgin said, “Letitia, tell me, what were you planning to do with this knife?”

His eyebrows raised, his demeanor cool, not showing any anger

Since… it was all out in the open now. Letitia didn’t plan on hiding it any longer.

She might as well tell him loud and clear!

“I wanted to kill you!” she met his gaze head-on, “Elgin, from the moment you entered my life, all you’vebrought me is endless pain! And now you’ve caused the death of my child, you and I… we’re mortalenemies!”

“You’ve got that much hate for me?”

“Yes!”

“Is it just because of the child that you hate me this much?”

Letitia answered, “No, everything you’ve done to me makes me wish you’d just drop dead!”

The more she spoke, the wider the smile on Elgin’s face became.

He nodded, “Alright. Letitia, I’m giving you this chance, take my life, take my heart.”

With that, Elgin handed her the knife.

Letitia didn’t take it.

He pushed it into her hand, making her grip the handle, ‘Be careful, it’s sharp. Don’t hurt yourself”

Letitia held on tight, overcome with a surreal feeling. “You… you know I want to kill you, and you’regiving me the knife?”

She thought Elgin would take the knife away, toss it, never to let her touch it again.

“Yes,” Elgin said, “Letitia, go ahead”

He was so calm. But her hand was shaking.

The second step in proving my love for you begins now, Elgin’s voice was deep, “I’m ready to entrustyou with my life and fate, to let you… do as you please.”

“You’re not afraid of dying?”

If I were to die by your hand, it would be worth it.”

Letitia bit her lower lip harder, then she said in determination, “Elgin, I will do it, don’t think I won’t dare!”

“I know, of course, I know you will. Go ahead, Letitia.”

Elgin’s confidence and composure were unparalleled; he even steadied Letitia’s trembling hand, thenpositioned the knife tip over his own heart

He was only wearing a sapphire blue shirt, and the thin fabric would tear with just a prick.

inmore force from Letitia, the knife could move forward a fraction, piercing the shirt, piercing the skin.

tster Eigin reminded her, hope you’ll make it quick and accurate. Don’t drag it out because it hurt morethat way

Letitia didn’t look into his eyes but at the knife tip.

Elgin stood unflinching, offering up his life on a silver platter.

What was he thinking? Was he truly not afraid of dying?

Or did he calculate that she wouldn’t have the guts, wouldn’t do it?

“Don’t be too cocky, Elgin, Letitia ground her teeth, “You and I, our feud is as deep as the sea, with twolives between us. I wish you would just drop dead right now!”

know. So, make your move.”

Letitia clenched her teeth and slowly pushed the knife tip in

“Blood slowly seeped through Elgin’s shirt, but his expression didn’t change one bit.

As if the blood wasn’t his at all!

“I hate you. I loathe you!” Letitia kept repeating, unsure whether she was convincing herself or tellinghim, “I hate you so much I just want you to vanish from my sight… Elgin, you’ve ruined my life!”

“I know, I’ve been too cruel to you in the past. So now, I’m giving it all back to you”

“Are you giving me your life in return?”

Elgin nodded, “Yes. My heart and my life, if you want them, take them.”

Letitia ground her teeth, The Ramirez Group and the Ramirez family, the power and the status, you’regiving all that up?”

“I am,” he replied. “Right now, all I want to prove is my love for you.”

Elgin, such a proud man, also so obstinate and arrogant.

Letitia couldn’t figure him out.

How could he be willing to die? This must be one of his tricks; he had an ulterior motive…

“Letitia, why have you stopped? Elgin prompted. “The knife has only gone in a centimeter, it’s just aflesh wound, not fatal.”

Blood dripped down, landing on the back of his hand.

Letitias hand stopped shaking, firmly holding the knife handle..

Her lips curved into a smirk, “Elgin, I hate you, I wish you were dead… but instead of ripping out yourheart, I’ve thought of another way to punish you.”

“What way?”

Lifting her head, Letitia met his gaze directly. A smile spread across her face. It was dazzling, abreathtaking beauty that left him breathless. But in the next second, Letitia suddenly yanked the knifeout

Elgin’s pupils constricted. What was she up to?

Before he could guess, Letitia twisted her wrist and turned the knife point towards herself!

“Letitia!”

Just moments ago, with the knife’s point pressing against him, his life hanging by a thread, Elgin wasso calm.

Now… he was perfectly safe, yet he panicked!

Letitia, her head tilted back, placed the knife against her own throat.

“Letitia, put it down!” Elgin roared, “What are you doing?!”

“Elgin, you keep saying you love me, so, my death would hurt you more, right?” she said with a faintsmile. “To feel love but can’t possess it, to lose me forever, that’s the best punishment for you!”

Elgin was completely flustered, his previous calmness and composure gone

*Put the knife down,” Elgin watched her intently, “Don’t hurt yourself!

As he said this, he made a grab for the knife. But the moment he lifted his hand, he hadn’t eventouched Letitia when she swiftly stepped back.

“Back off, don’t try to snatch it. Letitia warned, “You doing that is just gonna push me to hurt myselfeven quicker”

“Are you out of your mind?”

1. I am, because of you. Elgin, from the moment you were dead set on getting nd of our baby, I’vebeen nothing but a walking corpse soullest, neartless, just an empty shell!
