“ What ? ” Liam’s eyes widened in shock . His lips parted slightly , remaining agape for a long moment .

While on the Erenoland frontline , Liam kept his marriage a secret , so everyone assumed he was single
It was at the charity party that Liam first learned that Arla was actually Madelyn .
Diego was a comrade Liam met on the Erenland frontline – his closest friend there .
When Liam woke up after his brush with death , Diego had already been transferred back .
Life on the frontline was so intense they could barely use their phones , let alone swap contacts
Although Aria had been to the Erenoland frontline , she probably never crossed paths with Diego ,
“ How did Diego even know Aria was my wife ? ” Liam wondered , his mind reeling
A dreadful suspicion Liam couldn’t bring himself to believe flashed through his mind , his heart clenching painfully . His face tightened with tension , and his voice trembled as he asked , “ Diego , you … have you ever met my wife ? ”
“ Yeah , I have ! ” Diego said , looking utterly confused – he just couldn’t figure out why Liam was so shocked .
He then said , “ Professor Cotton came to the frontline with inhibitors , looking for you . I told her you were critically ill and presumed dead , already thrown in with the corpses scheduled for mass cremation .
“ She pushed past everyone to find you herself . When she discovered you were still alive , she pulled you out . And it wasn’t just you there were seven . other critically ill patients who were nearly sent for cremation by mistake . Professor Colton saved all of you .
“ Professor Colton even treated you herself . Something felt off , so I asked her what your relationship was . She told me you were her husband . ”
For those ten – odd seconds as Diego spoke , Liam went from confusion to utter shock , his eyes glazing over in a daze , struggling to process what he’d just
heard .
“ So it was Aria all along – she’s the one who saved me it wasn’t Hannah ! ” Liam realized
Liam was at a loss for words – a torrent of shock , anger , and remorse overwhelmed him .
over the two years they were together .
He had completely misunderstood Aria – even filed for divorce , dismissing all her sacrifices over
At that moment , Liam had to admit he’d been completely wrong about Hannah .
He’d always thought Hannah was kind , virtuous , and utterly selfless .
But in reality , she was arrogant , plagiarized others research , and even framed Aria for murder .
Wasn’t he just as much an accomplice ?
Liam clenched his fists , veins bulging prominently on the backs of his hands .
“ Sorry , everyone ! ” Muttering a quick apology , Liam spun around and bolted to the parking lot , then sped straight to the Gibson family estate
Hannah , having qualified for release on bail , was currently under house arrest at the Gibson family estate .
Upon arrival , Liam strode in swiftly . The butler spotted him and greeted politely , “ Mr. Cole , are you here to see Ms. Gibson ? ”
Suppressing his emotions , Liam replied tersely ,

The butler said , “ Please wait a moment , ”
Immediately upon hearing that Liam had arrived , Hannah quickly changed into a cute little dress and dashed downstairs , calling out cradly –
In her haste , she nearly crashed into Liant’s arms .
Instead of catching her , he firmly grasped her shoulders to stop het momentum .
Hannah stumbled , her feet slipping , but managed to regain her balance just in time .
Meeting Liam’s intense gaze , Hannah’s heart clenched , “ Liam , what’s wrong ? ” she asked .
Liam’s expression hardened as he met her gaze . “ Hannals ,” he demanded , “ were you really the one who saved me ?
Under his piercing gaze , Hannah didn’t dare let even the slightest flicker of emotion cross her face . Forcing certainty into her voice , she said , “ It was me
Liam glared at her , his voice trembling with anger . “ You’re lying ! It was Aria who saved me ! ”
Hannah’s eyes widened in shock , panic flickering uncontrollably . “ Liam , did Aria claim she was the one who saved you ? You actually believe her ? ”
“ It was me who saved you ! ” Hannah insisted . “ I never left your side , tirelessly caring for you day and night – it’s always been me
Disappointment filled Liam’s eyes as he took a step back . 7 can’t believe I ever fell for someone so fake , someone whose whole image was built on lies , he thought bitterly .
