All Chapters of Brief Was the Love: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Eugene once again knocked dejectedly on Gideon's office door."Come in," Gideon said. Eugene immediately opened the door, kneeling in front of him."Since you received the video and voice recording, you'll definitely be able to help me find out where Lilian went, Chief Merrick," he said. "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have betrayed her, and I shouldn't have cheated. As long as you can help me find her, I'm willing to accept any punishment."He had been doing a lot of thinking over the past three days.During their five years of marriage, he had gotten used to receiving Lilian's kindness. He had believed that she couldn't possibly leave him, which gave him the confidence to push her around.Even when he crawled into bed with Aurelie, the thought that Lilian would leave him never once crossed his mind.Now that she was truly gone, he finally realized that he really couldn't do without her.Gideon stared at Eugene and sighed in frustration. Just as he was about to say something

Early the next morning, Lilian got into a military vehicle headed for the military base with Linus.She watched the scenery flashing past the car windows along the way and couldn't help clenching her fists in excitement.She could finally get away from Eugene and Aurelie. She could finally begin a new chapter of her life.Linus glanced at her. "When are you going to go through the divorce procedures with Eugene?"Lilian looked up and found herself unprepared to meet the intensity of his gaze. She clenched her fingers nervously. "He refuses to divorce me."Linus looked down. "I understand."He understood? Understood what?Lilian was confused, but she didn't dare to ask.The military vehicle drove all the way to the military base without any stops.Linus was called away the moment he got out of the vehicle.Lilian stood where she was, afraid to take a single step.After a long while, Linus hurried back over to her. He looked at her apologetically and said, "Something urgent ca

Linus raised his wine glass in a toast to Lilian, feeling emotional. "Congratulations. You're officially a student of Evermint College. I'm sure your parents will definitely be very happy to know that in heaven."He rarely drank alcohol, but he was just too happy today.Five years ago, Lilian had refused to return to the Gurwick residence with him. Instead, she had insisted on marrying Eugene. He could have stopped her, but he hadn't wanted to become the person she hated. He hadn't wanted to force her to do something she didn't want to do, either.Therefore, he had respected her wishes and allowed her to remain by Eugene's side.Over the years, he had received continuous reports on Lilian's wellbeing.He knew that she was having a hard time. But if she didn't voluntarily ask him for help, he had no grounds to interfere with their marriage.On the day he received the call from her, he was ecstatic.After the call ended, he immediately ordered someone to head over to the hospita

During class, Lilian was restless and frequently found herself distracted.After finally getting to the end of the class, the malicious gossip from the students around her reached her ears."Her husband cheated on her, and she had multiple miscarriages. How can someone like her get into Evermint College?""I even saw her getting out of a car this morning. For all we know, she might've got into Evermint College... that way. You get me?""We studied hard to finally get into Evermint College, yet we have to be classmates with someone like her. It's disgusting…"Lilian clenched her fists in frustration. Just as she was about to defend herself, Eugene suddenly called out from outside the window, "Have you had breakfast, Lilian? I bought soy protein smoothies."Lilian frowned, so upset that she felt like she was about to explode.She stormed out of the classroom and snapped at Eugene, "I'm allergic to soy! Aurelie's the one who loves to drink that!"Eugene awkwardly held the smoothie

Blood glistened on Lilian's forehead. Jermaine had tied her to a post."What are you trying to do, Aurelie?" she demanded. "Don't you know that this is against the law?" Aurelie stepped closer towards Lilian, a twisted, delighted smile playing on her lips. She pressed her finger hard into the cut on Lilian's head. "Against the law? I have nothing left to lose. Why would I care about the law?" She scoffed. "This is all your fault, Lilian. Because of you, I was abandoned by Eugene, I lost my job, and I couldn't get into college. You're the reason I'm in the state that I'm in today.She continued, "Now, hurry up and hand over the number of that rich man you found. If he's willing to give me a little more money, maybe I could let you suffer a little less before you die." Lilian winced in pain. "You got what you deserved. In my previous life, you took two lives when you killed me. And in this life, you killed my baby. Everything that's happening to you now is just karma." She adde
