Chapter 1169
Will trembled from head to toe, consumed by a pain that seemed to pulse from his very core, extending
even to his fingertips.
He couldn’t stand up. All he could do was drag himself towards Liana using his hands Although
hesitant to touch her, he instinctively reached out, brushing his fingers lightly against her face.
The chilling touch confirmed what, as a doctor, he already knew. Liana was gone. The woman he
deeply loved was no more
Tears streamed down Will’s face, unchecked and free–flowing. He tried to keep his grief private, and in
a bid to find some solace, gently took Liana from Eleanor and cradled her to him. Holding her tight, he
treated her fragile form like a priceless treasure.
Resting his cheek on her cold face, he softly caressed her, careful not to press too hard Tears
continued to fall, one landing in the hollow of her eye, shining there as if to comfort him, whispering.
“Will, it’s okay…”
But Will couldn’t control his crying, his heartache was uncontrollable…
Once Liana’s lawyer confirmed that the man quietly weeping was indeed Will, he approached him,

“This was written by Liana herself before she passed, she wanted me to give it to you personally”
Will lifted his tear–filled eyes, glanced at the envelope, and slowly reached out. The moment his
fingertips touched the smooth paper, it felt like an electric shock, making even breathing difficult…
He took the envelope, holding it in his hand. He didn’t open it immediately, just held it close with Liana,
as if this was his last chance to hold her, he couldn’t bear to let go….. But, even if he was unwilling,
Liana’s body had to be taken away. The police had tried their best to respect Bernard’s dignity, not
moving the body randomly, but if they waited any longer, it wouldn’t comply with the regulations.
In theory, as a doctor, Will should remain calm. But this time, he was more emotional than even
Eleanor and Hailey, refusing to let go of Liana, vowing to hold her.
Despite the efforts of several police officers, he just sat by the window, like a statue, lifeless, just staring
at Liana in his arms…
In the end, Bernard approached, kneeling on one knee before Will, patting his shoulder, saying,
“Liana’s going to find Tyler. Don’t make her wait too long.”
The words, though harsh, struck a chord of truth in Will, causing him to release his pent–up emotions.
Everyone knew what Liana’s wish implied- she desired her ashes to merge with the ocean, seeking
Tyler, who was believed to be lost to the same vastness.
While Liana’s remains were taken for cremation, Will chose to stay behind. He sat, unmoving, carefully
opening the envelope he held. As he began reading the contents, his eyes welled up with tears once
more…
“Will, I’ve yearned to apologize to you countless times.
I vowed to become your wife, yet I never made it to our wedding day.
I also swore to see Tyler behind bars, but that too remains unfulfilled.
It feels as if, since our paths crossed, every assurance I gave, every commitment I made, has been left
incomplete.
I regret it so much. You and I, we had a beautiful time together, but I didn’t give you anything in return.
I’m really sorry.
I admit I’m a coward I used to say I hated Tyler, but when he died, my hatred disappeared, my heart
was empty, I just wanted to find him…
Even though I know he’s dead, I’ll never find him, but I still want to find him in my own way.

But I really wanted to marry you, even got the marriage license, just didn’t love you…
If nothing had happened, I would’ve been your wife by now, but life is full of unexpected events…

anymore.
Liana”
Clutching the letter close to his chest, tears cascaded down Will’s face, wetting the back of his hand.
“Liana, from the moment I first saw you during that school lecture, I was captivated. You told me to
forget about you, but how could I possibly?
And Liana, after Tyler’s passing, you felt your heart was void and you longed to be with him. Don’t you
think I feel the same longing for you?
Yet, I understand. If I were to seek you out, old tensions between you and Tyler might re–emerge. The
thought of causing discord between you two… I couldn’t bear that selfishness, could I?”
Liana couldn’t answer Will’s words anymore, for she had been sent to the incinerator. The moment the
ignition button was pressed, Liana, who once had a heart for charity and loved to help others, left
forever, never to return to this world….
