Chapter 680 I Really Didnt Lie To You (1/2)

Cloris slowly allowed herself a wry smile, and there was no joy in her eyes as she regarded Sean in earnest. Slowly, she asked the question that made her most vulnerable, ”Sean, do you think I'm ugly?”

”No, you are not!” he answered her with equally earnest and raw emotions, ”You are, and always will be, the most beautiful woman in my eyes.”

”Liar,” she said simply and without rebuke. Using her hands, she touched her face, which was full of scars. Then she laughed self-mockingly and said, ”Even I hate this ugly face, so how could you like it?”

”I like you, and that has nothing to do with your face.” He seemed to be afraid that she didn't believe him, so he lowered his head and landed a gentle kiss on her battered brow, before continuing, ”It doesn't matter what you look like. I will always like you. How would you like to look? I can fulfill any requirement you might have.”

”Well,” Cloris said with a sigh, ”It seems that you really do like me very much.”

”No,” he corrected her words and explained, ”I do not just like you. I love you.”

She laughed ambiguously then and said without mirth, ”You won't like what I am about to tell you then, I'm sure.”

Staring at her with great tenderness, he asked, ”What?”

She spoke slowly and deliberately, ”Do you know why I came back to you now?”

”Why?”

”It is because I don't have enough time for any other punishment. I know that you love me, but I hate you. For this reason, I have chosen to die in front of you.”

Every word she spoke was like ice shards penetrating his heart with frigid agony. He felt an intense chill grip his very being as her words registered on his conscious mind. Stripped of all the human warmth which he had shared with her, he shivered painfully.

”What did you say? That's impossible, Cloris. Please don't use this as a way to punish me!” he instantly begged.

”Sean, there are many things in this world that can not be, just because you would wish it so. You have always thought that you could control the whole world, but that is not possible.”

Looking at Cloris's bitter smile, Sean felt his heart turn to ice with fear. So he immediately called up a team of specialist doctors to examine her and ascertain what ailed her.
