Chapter 20 Liam fought to stay conscious . A constant ringing filled his ears . He could only see Chloe's agitated expression , her mouth moving , but he couldn't hear her words . He wanted to apologize . He wanted to ask if she would come back , if she would consider not finalizing the divorce , but he couldn't get the questions out . A single breath seemed stuck in his throat , neither rising nor falling . He didn't know if it was the mutism or complications from his recent tumor surgery . Liam felt his throat was parched . The words he wanted to say felt like thousands , but in the end , they condensed into just one phrase . " I'm ... sorry . " He used his right hand , trying desperately to grip the corner of a table to steady himself , but it felt like a huge black hole was pulling him from behind , preventing him from standing . His other hand reached out infinitely forward , trying to grasp Chloe . She wasn't far , but it felt like he couldn't reach her . " Ch ... loe ... " His eyelids grew heavier . His throat was so tight even breathing felt difficult . Time seemed to stand still at this moment . He sat on the floor in despair , gasping for air , forcing himself to stay conscious by staring at the floor . The ringing in his ears grew worse . Then , one person after another rushed in . Someone helped him up ; someone placed an oxygen mask over his nose and mouth . Finally , fresh oxygen flooded his lungs . Chloe ? Where is Chloe ? Liam seemed to be in a daze for a long time before recovering . Coming to , he ripped the oxygen mask from his face and forcefully resisted the hands pushing him forward on the gurney . " Chloe ! " His own voice rang in his ears , startling even those around him into freezing their actions . 76.92 % Liam stiffly turned his body to look back , but the sight plunged his mood back into the depths . The man who had been laughing and talking with Chloe moments ago was now looking at her with concern , a hand on her shoulder , seemingly asking if she was okay . Chloe offered a simple smile , indicating she was fine . Liam had never felt heartbreak so acutely before . He suddenly remembered the night over three years ago when Isabella left . He only found out she was gone through a handwritten note . It gave no reason , just stated the fact of her departure . Liam's feelings then were complex - sadness , frustration , the unwillingness and anger of being abandoned . Even after being diagnosed with selective mutism , he felt no fear , just a decision to no longer trust others or engage in meaningless social interactions . But now , what he felt was a tremendous , unprecedented terror . He didn't know what Chloe had just said to him , but he seemed to vaguely know the answer . She would likely not choose him again . Liam gritted his teeth , struggling step by step through the crowd , trying to reach Chloe once more . Those few steps felt immense . He felt drenched in sweat . The blast of air conditioning raised goosebumps all over his body . Liam shoved the man standing near Chloe aside . Chloe instinctively stepped back several steps , her expression and eyes filled with wariness . He opened his mouth . The words finally came home to his voice . " Remarry me . " " Come home . " But Chloe's refusal was absolute . The coldness in her eyes deepened further . The corners of her mouth turned down , her brows furrowed in clear distaste .
