Chapter 183 What Gave You the Right?

Whitney could clearly see that beneath Xavier’s clothes, his arms looked like nothing but skin stretched over bone. His fingers were so thin that the stark white bones were almost exposed.

Ryan looked at Xavier standing before him. The man he once remembered as charming and full of life was now nothing but a shadow of his former self. His heart was a whirlwind of emotions.

After learning everything, Ryan’s heart was still in turmoil. His feelings remained complicated and sorrowful. Whether Xavier had cared for him out of affection for him or love for his mother, Xavier was the only light that ever shone in his childhood.

But now, his only light had become like this. And Xavier was the one who had put him through life-and-death situations time and again. How was Ryan supposed to accept that?

“Xavier has gone mad,” Whitney said, sensing how unstable Ryan’s emotions were beside her. A shadow passed through her eyes, her gaze growing more somber. She squeezed Ryan’s fingers, quietly urging him to look at Xavier’s hand.

The sight of those bare bones was downright chilling. Ryan’s eyes widened in shock. “Xavier, you…”

“He must be feeding the bugs with his own blood and bones, raising something really nasty. That’s why he looks like this,” Whitney said. She didn’t know much about bugs, but she was sure that whatever was happening to Xavier was tied to them.

Her mentor’s notes had only mentioned it in passing. When one fed bugs with their own blood and bones, they became much easier to control and far more powerful.

But this kind of thing was a complete taboo among bug masters. That was why her mentor had never explained it in detail.

Whitney stared at Xavier, her gaze deep and unwavering. This man was completely consumed by his obsessive love for Lila. So far gone, there was no saving him now. The day Lila died, his heart died with her.

The only thing keeping him going all this time was that obsessive, twisted hatred. It was his hatred for the Pierce family that kept him alive till now.

So Xavier didn’t care about using his own blood and bones to feed the bugs, or about unleashing taboo techniques, even if it meant destroying himself in the process. All he wanted was to drag the Pierce family straight to hell.

“Xavier…” Ryan called out, his voice trembling.

Though he didn’t fully understand the consequences, he could tell that using his own blood and bones to feed the bugs was destroying Xavier from the inside out. Otherwise, Xavier wouldn’t be in this state now, neither man nor ghost. “Why are you doing this to yourself? Is revenge really worth all this? Do you really think Mom would want to see you like this?” Ryan asked, his voice trembling.

At the mention of Lila, Xavier got more worked up. “Yeah! It’s all about revenge.”

His eyes were wild and bloodshot. “Ryan, your mom loved you so much. She was ready to die for you! Shouldn’t you make

your mom?” the Pierce family pay for what they did to her? Don’t you want to get revenge for

He beckoned Ryan over. “Come on! Join me, be my right hand. Let’s get back at them for Lila. Let’s tear the Pierce family apart, together.” He looked completely unhinged, like he’d lost all sense of reality.

When Ryan didn’t respond, Xavier’s temper flared, “Ryan? Why aren’t you answering me? Why aren’t you coming over? Are you going to betray Lila, too?”

His eyes, barely hanging in their sockets, seemed to burn with an endless, wild fire. “You’re just like your heartless father. You both want to betray Lila and let her death be in vain!

“I never should’ve let you live, you ungrateful wretch. I should’ve activated the bugs inside you and let them tear you apart from the inside out.” He let out a series of hoarse, piercing screams, his voice like a saw blade, tearing at their ears. Before Ryan could say a word, Whitney grabbed his hand and pulled him behind her. “Are you qualified to say you love Mrs. Pierce, acting like this?” Whitney shot back.

Anything about Lila would instantly mess with Xavier’s emotions. Especially now, with Whitney questioning his love for Lila, it was like she was ripping away the only thing keeping him going. His eyes locked onto Whitney, cold and deadly, like a viper about to strike.

Whitney stared him down, fearless. “What, did I et Lila, are you?”

She gave a cold laugh, glanced at Ryan behind her, then turned back to Xavier “Let me tell you, Lila never once regretted her choice. She was willing to break her own wings for love because she loved Edward enough. She truly loved him.

Chapter 183 What Cave You the Right?

“She knew loving him might cost her life, but she still wanted to experience love, no matter what. She chose to bring Ryan Linto this world because she truly loved him.

“When she later left the Pierce family, it wasn’t because she regretted giving up everything for love. It was because she didn’

t want to betray either her love or her fate. Even in death, she was never in pain.

“Who are you to decide what happens to her after she’s gone? What gives you the right to use revenge as an excuse to hurt the Pierce family she always protected, and the son she loved so much?
