Chapter 111

Even though he knew that Eliana wouldn't give him any response, Aidan apologized to her over and over again. For the first time, he realized that losing someone wasn't just painful, it was also suffocating. But he had let Eliana suffer the pain of losing her loved ones and even told her it was all her fault... He got up and hugged her tightly in grief. What should he do to make Eliana return to his side? He was willing to give up everything he had to get her back, even his own life. But would God give him another chance? For two days in a row, Aidan set the temperature of the air conditioner in the room to its lowest. He didn't leave the room, and he didn't eat or drink. Robert was really worried for him. But Aidan just ignored him every time he tried to talk to him. Until early that morning, Travis dropped by. When he learnt from Robert that Aidan was refusing to leave the room and eat, he was so mad that he wanted to barge into the room. Robert stopped him. Travis said with displeasure, "We can't let him go on like this. He has gone mad, and we can't let everyone be driven mad by him." "No, I just received a call regarding the things that happened to her in prison..." When Robert finished his words, Travis' face grew serious. "Master Aidan wants to know about it, but I don't dare to tell him." "I'll tell him." Travis pushed the door open and walked in. Aidan was lying down with his back facing the door, holding Eliana's stiff corpse in his arms. Travis strode towards Aidan and pulled him up. Aidan was agitated and pushed Travis away. "Go away!" Travis staggered backwards to regain his stability. He spoke angrily , "Aidan, what exactly do you want to do? It's too late for you to appreciate her now. When she was alive, you didn't cherish her. So what's the use of doing that now? She won't know you're doing, and she won't be willing to stay here. Plus, in a few days, her body will..." Aidan's heart was shattered. He bent over and held Eliana in his arms carefully. "Shut up! She's not a corpse, she's my wife. As long as I treat her well, she'll stay by my side." Travis narrowed his eyes. Aidan had gone mad. Really mad. He shouted angrily, "She's dead. Even if you treat her well, she won't know." Aidan's face was full of grief, and his heart throbbed painfully. Yet, he still shook his head and said, "No, she will know, and she won't leave me." "Aidan," Travis stepped forward and grabbed his arm. "You need to snap out of it. She wasn't willing to stay here when she was alive, and that won't change now that she's dead. Please let her go. Let her be buried in peace." No. Aidan pushed Travis away in anguish. He refused to believe anyone. Travis grabbed his collar and chided angrily, "Since you can't move on, why don't you avenge her? Do you know you were lied to? Every single day in jail was hell for Eliana. She was tortured and beaten up every day." Hearing this, Aidan's heart suddenly tightened painfully, and he gazed up at Travis. Travis had finally gotten Aidan's attention, so he continued to say, "Her hair was cut off, her face was slashed and disfigured, and she ate spoiled leftovers every day. They made her stand under the rain, and refused to treat her when she was sick. When she disobeyed them, they would lock her in the toilet for an entire night. They would even hold her head under water until she passed out, and then resuscitate her..." Aidan felt his entire body go numb. The light in her eyes was gone. She was no longer a picky eater, no longer afraid of the dark, and she no longer feared pain... Eliana, who was actually a good swimmer, but then told him she was scared of water... He saw how she had changed, but he... he was blinded by jealousy. He really believed that Eliana would do it with a woman... He slapped himself a few times in the face. Then, he curled up into a ball, leaned against Eliana's body, and cried bitterly...
