You want to choose Bai Yueguang. Why will you cry if I die Novel – It had been three years since I died when Elijah finally called. “Leah is very ill. Marrying me is her dying wish.” Fury crackled through his voice on the line. “Lily, I have never met a woman more despicable than you.” “Clutching the title of Mrs. Vane will get you nothing.” Silence stretched from the other end. But faintly, in the background, he could make out the sound of a woman’s muffled sobs.
Elijah’s brow furrowed. For three years, to punish Lily’s stubbornness, he had refused every one of her calls. Now, being made to wait infuriated him—yet the image of that girl in the hospital, pale and bloodless, made his heart clench. Fine. For Leah, he could endure this a little longer.
Just as his patience was wearing thin, a long, shaky exhale traveled down the line. “Mr. Vane… Lily passed away three years ago.” Elijah released a cold, derisive laugh. “Camille, don’t think I don’t know you’re her puppet. Does that hypocritical woman still believe she can win me back?” “Tell her it’s impossible.” “Her only value now is to divorce me and take the settlement. My Leah has a severe heart condition.
I need to be by her side as her husband.” Camille, my best friend, held the phone with trembling hands. She had kept my number active all this time, just for me. She couldn’t speak. Tears had already spilled over. Certain this was another of my twisted games, Elijah delivered his ultimatum. “Tell Lily this: if she wants her family to stay safe, she’ll sign the divorce papers. Now.”
