After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 183

Lilith felt like her face was about to freeze into a permanent smile.

But with things having come to this, no matter how furious she was inside, Lilith had to nod in agreement.

"Yes… you're right, Aria."

"Since she has no objections, let's go transfer the deed."

Aria couldn't have completed the transfer on her own, but with the Evernight family's help, it was a simple matter.

So when Aria held the brand-new deed in her hands, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It really pays to have the Evernight name behind you.

"I'm not going back just yet," Aria said, stopping in her tracks. "The house was just transferred. I want to go take a look."

Gideon said, "I'll go with you. You're pregnant. Grandfather wouldn't be at ease knowing you went alone."

He knew where Aria wanted to go.

He had visited Lilith's home back when they were in school.

It was a run-down little house, but the layout was cozy enough.

Aria didn't refuse.

When Flora heard that Gideon had taken Aria to the hospital room, she rushed over.

But they were already gone.

Lilith was sitting on the bed, her eyes puffy and bloodshot.

Flora asked uncertainly, "Lilith? Did Aria bully you?"

Seeing Flora, Lilith's tears began to fall, starting as a quiet sob and escalating into loud crying. "Flora, what do I do? Gideon has really fallen for Aria! He's not going to divorce her!"

"How is that possible?!"

Flora instinctively wanted to deny it, but thinking about Gideon's recent behavior, something did seem off.

"Just now, he actually told me he wants to have a family with Aria! What about me? What am I supposed to do?"

"There, there, don't cry…"

Flora's heart ached for her.

Lilith held out her arm, revealing the purplish bruises.

"Flora, I've already lost to Aria. I have to have the last laugh, even if it's in death…"

Right now, only Aria could produce the antidote. What if she died while using it?

Could Gideon live with himself and be with Aria then?

Besides, after she died, that person would surely return. Would Aria still be smiling then?

Hazel also thought Lilith was insane.

She just didn't want to go back to her hometown; she never intended to take a life. "I can't give you such a large dose."

Lilith looked at Hazel, her lips curling with a knowing smile. "If something happens to Aria, you'll become the sole head of the drug's development. Isn't that a good thing for you?"

"Besides, Aria has already developed the antidote. Once you take over, you can start selling it immediately. I'm sure you can do the math on that deal, right?"

Hazel was tempted.

Once this drug hit the market, it would be an unprecedented success, but…
