Just as it was dawn, Bertha was awakened by the roar of a car engine.
She was still sleepy, didn't pay attention, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Bertha slept for another five minutes when there was a knock on the door outside. It was Bruno: "Bertha, get ready, I'm taking you to the prison to meet Liam."
Bertha's sleepiness suddenly woke up, she sat up in bed and asked outside the door: "Are you telling the truth?"
She couldn't believe it, he could let her meet Liam?
Or, has he come up with some new tricks?
Bruno's tone was very gentle, and the corner of his mouth smiled: "Of course it's true, I'm downstairs in the living room waiting for you. When you're ready, come down here."
Bertha quickly woke up and began hastily washing her face and combing her hair.
No matter what Bruno wants to do, it's enough for her to see Liam and see that he's safe.
She didn't wear makeup but went downstairs with a pure bare face, wearing a long snow-white fox fur coat.
The moment Bruno saw her, he was a bit stunned.
Time seemed to flow backward, and the simple and sunny Bertha of seven years ago seemed to return to him again.
He stood up and walked forward, helping her tighten her coat: "Let's go."
Before going out, he thoughtfully gave her a warm bag: "It's cold and damp in prison, you have to be extremely careful not to catch a cold."
Bertha's eyes looked at him full of doubt, she didn't want to accept.
Phoenix-eyed Bruno smiled: "Don't worry, I deliberately chose non-toxic items."
Bertha took it.
The two of them, one in front, one in back. They quietly got into the car and headed towards the prison.
The prison reeked of fresh blood and the humidity was also very heavy. Bertha suppressed the urge to vomit and quietly followed Bruno to the cell at the back of the prison.
The small window on the iron door of the cell was opened.
A door away, she glanced and saw Liam hanging halfway from a rope, bleeding profusely.
Liam's whole body fell into a semi-comatose state, his breathing was extremely weak:
'Bruno, you're not human."
Bertha's eyes were red, she swung her hand to slap him, but he held her wrist tightly.
'It's just a few whips, it won't kill him for now, but you care more about the hound next to Shane than me, it hurts me."
At the last words, he gritted his teeth, his phoenix eyes were fierce and sinister.
"Bertha, don't think I don't know. Before the wedding, you even planned to steal the antidote. I won't keep my promise if you don't honestly marry me. If you still want to play around with me, I will torture Liam. Those two bottles of sulfuric acid that Shane threw at me, and all that punishment, I'm going to let him go through."
Bruno gently let go of Bertha's wrist. He could hardly control his anger without throwing her away.
Bertha didn't say a word but looked at Liam dying in the cell. She was in so much pain that she found it difficult to breathe. Her fingers clenched tightly in her palm to suppress the anger in her heart.
Bruno continued: "You can keep the baby if you want, but these days you have to be serious, be obedient, and stay in the apartment until the day we get married, don't start causing trouble. After the wedding is over I will immediately release Liam and send him and the medicine back to the country. This time I tell the truth."
Bertha pursed the corners of her lips.
She alone, in exchange for Liam's safety, also has the super virus-killing drug.
Under these conditions, she made no losses.
'Okay, but you can't torture Liam, because to prove my sincerity, I will honestly marry…"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately took the initiative to take off the emerald ring on her finger, placed it in her palm, and gave it to Bruno.
This was the only personal weapon capable of self-defense and she voluntarily surrendered it to him, truly sincerely.
Bruno was very happy: "I won't beat him anymore. Today I will send a doctor to apply medicine for him, then take care of him, feed him well, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
'It's best if you can say it and do it."
"Ensure." Bruno smiled and curled his eyelashes. He carefully checked the temperature on her warm bag: "Let's go, it's too cold in the prison. You're pregnant. It's not appropriate to stay too long."
Bertha didn't say a word, her eyes looked at Liam with pity, then she turned and left.
Just as they left, Liam's arms which had been hanging all night were finally released.
Liam's whole body fell to the ground. He was awakened by pain, his arm was slightly dislocated and he had no strength left.
Lam tried to sit up. His whole body once again lost all strength and fell into a semi-comatose state.
'Dude, are you okay?"
"You're still alive, right?"
'If you heard what I said, could you answer me?"
"Dude…"
From the cell next to the wall, a questioning voice continuously sounded, the voice of a strange girl.
Liam's dizzy consciousness was awakened, his dry throat softly "Uhm" in response.
Through the small iron bars on the high wall, the girl's sigh of relief could be heard clearly.
'What big crime have you committed to be locked up here? Why did they punish you with such torture?"
Liam lay straight, his weak eyes looking at the pitch-black ceiling: "I stole something from the palace and was discovered. But even if I didn't do that, there's no reason for animals to bite people."
The girl sighed: 'So are you okay? Are you hungry? Today, when the guards brought rice, I secretly hid a dumpling. If you want to eat it, I'll throw it to you."
In prison, food is only delivered once a day. If you miss it, you will have to fast until the next day.
