“Why? She saved you.” Alec gave her a stern look, which was different from his usual gentleness.

She smiled bitterly and looked at him. “Why? What do you think?” She raised her voice and growled, “Alec, don’t you know my feelings after all these years?”

He frowned with displeasure. “I recall telling you early on that you’re only a little sister to me-nothing more than that.”

He thought she had understood his stance because she hadn’t brought up the topic after that. Who would have known?

“True. You have rejected me from the start.” She nodded, the smile disappearing from her face. “But I love you. How can I possibly give up on you?”

“And that’s why you attacked Dr. Walter?” He frowned again. “You should’ve come for me instead. What does she have to do with our relationship?”

She wiped away a rogue tear that almost slid down her cheek. “Alec, I know you too well. Even though you’re reluctant to admit it, I could tell that Dr. Walter is special to you from the way you treat her. But I cannot accept it! You’ve only known her for a short time. So what if you were once married to each other? If you were destined to be with each other, you wouldn’t have divorced. If so, why would fate lead you to meet her again?”

She was at her wits’ end. It felt like the gods were playing with the fates of mortals.

His face darkened. Staring intently at her, he asked, “How do you know she’s my ex-wife? Since when?”

“I went to the office to meet you some time ago. And I overheard your conversation with Vincent,” she replied. Exhausted, she staggered to the sofa and took a seat. “So, Alec, how do you plan to deal with me? Will you hand me over to Dr. Walter or the police? Don’t worry. I’ll always remember how well you treated me. I won’t blame you no matter what choice you make.”
