Regret Came Too Late

Liam's eyes were filled with disbelief when he saw Alice because her body was covered in wounds, all clearly caused by beatings.

He was utterly furious and was about to go confront the psychiatric hospital, but Alice pulled him back. Her face was full of fear and exhaustion, her voice trembling as she spoke.

"Don't go after them... I deserve this. I made a lot of mistakes in the past. Liam, I've really changed. Just come visit me from time to time since I'm only staying here for two months anyway. Is that okay?"

Seeing the festering wounds on her body, Liam couldn't bear to let his gaze linger a second longer. He nodded and agreed to her terms. He even got someone to come over to look after Alice and arranged for a house for her, paying two months' rent in advance.

However, he didn't expect the person to show up to be Joanne.

Joanne was also a little surprised and stood by the doorway for a while. She looked inside the house and met Alice's gaze directly.

Liam quickly shut the door. Afraid that Joanne would tell Grace, he hastily spoke up. "Joanne, please keep this a secret from Grace. I'm only letting Alice stay here for two months. After this, I'll send her away from here."

Joanne pressed her lips together and sighed. "I won't say a word."
