Chapter 205 Torn Restraints

“Once we're divorced, let's both be happy!”

James’ eyes darkened.

He felt like he was losing his mind.

He had always wanted to finalize the divorce with Lily as soon as possible-so he could spend the rest of his life

with Leila, and she could find her own happiness with someone who cherished her.

And yet, for reasons he couldn't understand, hearing her bring up signing the divorce papers again made his

chest feel tight.

But no matter what, the divorce had to happen.

Only after ending things with Lily could he be with Leila without guilt or shame.

Their love might never be accepted by the world, but he would still find a way to marry her. He would give her a

wedding that shook the earth.

“Mm.”

He responded coolly. Without another word, he finished wrapping Lily’s wound and returned to the accompanying

bed.

As he straightened the blankets, he happened to notice a pearl on the floor near the edge.

Only then did he realize-the bracelet on his left wrist had been broken during all that chaos.

The bracelet could be restrung.

But the rules he had broken-those could never be erased.

He closed his eyes for a moment, the memory of his reckless passion and lack of control burning behind his lids.

Then, pretending not to care, he crouched down and quietly began picking up each pearl one by

one.

The hospital room wasn’t large. Lily had naturally seen him gathering the bracelet.

She assumed she had accidentally torn it off during everything that had happened. The shand guilt that

already weighed on her deepened further.

Her heart was pounding with anxiety. She couldn’t bear to look at him any longer, so she quickly turned her back

and pulled the blanket over her face, trying to disappear.

Once James finished collecting the pearls, his gaze fell upon Lily-her whole face hidden tightly under the

blanket.

He frowned instinctively, worried she might suffocate like that.

But then, the memory of pulling that sblanket off her... the bracelet snapping... his wild, unrestrained

hunger as he tore through all restraint-it crushing back.

He forced himself to look away.

They were destined to divorce.

Destined to part ways.

Whether she suffocated herself under that blanket or not had nothing to do with him.

“You drunk-driving piece of trash! What kind of disgusting human are you?! Lily, get out here right now!” Lily had

just finished her breakfast when she heard Sean's furious voice outside the door.

A second later, the door-left ajar-was kicked open violently, Sean stormed in, Mathilda right behind him. with the

others in tow.

Last night, Henry had stopped Ivan from posting the video online.

He'd said Wendy had been placed on a pedestal for too long. When the truth finally cout, the fall would hurt

more. Let her enjoy one last night of undeserved praise.

Only half an hour ago did Ivan finally release the video to the public.

Early that morning, Mathilda had cacross a headline about Lily’s supposed drunk driving. In a hurry to turn

her three brothers against Lily, she hadn't even stopped to ask Elsa what had really happened, nor did she

bother checking for any updates. She just embellished the news and told them that Lily had intentionally

rammed someone with her car.

The Ginger sons-despite sharing a moment of concern at hearing Lily was hospitalized-were now overwhelmed

by disgust and fury. They saw her as a poisonous snake, a disgrace to the Ginger family, and cto the

hospital with the sole purpose of condemning her.

Lily was still hooked up to an IV.

The moment they barged into the room and saw the cotton cushion taped over the needle in her hand, Bodger's

eyes flickered with something unreadable.

But his voice remained hard. “Lily, | let it slide when you used to bully Mathilda. But now you're trying to take

someone's life? How did you beclike this?”

Taylor's eyes were filled with disappointment. “You weren't like this when you were a kid.”

“Wendy is our elder. Just because you're jealous of Elsa, you wanted to kill her mother? Lily, are you even human

anymore?”

Seeing her brothers so full of loathing and rage, Mathilda could barely contain her glee.

Lily, I know you don’t like Elsa, and | understand if you don’t like Wendy either, but she’s still a human being.

How could you be so cruel?”
