Chapter 997

Originally, Avery didn't want to lay a finger on her.

It was because he loved her too much-so much that it hurt, so much that he couldn't bear to do it.

He also knew that this wedding was far from perfect, far from respectable, and downright ridiculous, even ludicrous.

Yet, he couldn't resist. Even in the final moments of his life, he couldn't bear the thought of her not wanting to lie to him, to put on an act just for his sake.

As Avery's immaculately white chest was exposed, a bead of sweat traced a path down his well-defined abs, the pale skin flushed with a dark desire.

Evadne's eyes were bloodshot, her voice hoarse from screaming, her hand trembling uncontrollably on the handle of the knife.

That day, she had gone to see Hans, who had left in a hurry and forgot to put away the little knife he used to slice apples. She quickly took it and hid it under her pillow.

She had been injected with a dose of anesthetic, enough to move but not with any strength.
