Chapter 7 Ethan's eyes welled up as he stumbled toward Ruth's room . Amy stared blankly at his retreating figure , only one thought in her mind . She had to get away immediately ! She'd apologize , she'd kneel , she'd do anything to leave . It took Amy a while before she could barely stand . Dragging her heavy body to beg Ethan , she overheard Ruth's voice at the hospital door . " It's just normal bleeding , I worried you . But now that Amy knows , she'll hate me even more . " " That's what she owes you anyway . " Amy's hand tightened on the doorknob . She took a deep breath and pushed in . Ruth looked terrified at the sight of her , shielding the baby protectively . Amy hated her act but swallowed her disgust : " I apologize for what happened before . But we both know exactly what occurred this time . " Before Ruth spoke , Amy turned to Ethan : " So will you let me go 100400 Chapter 7 288 Nouchers now ? " Ethan stayed silent , just flung a document at her feet . Amy crouched to pick it up . The first page screamed : CONFESSION . The charge ? Attempted murder ! " Amy , I warned you - next time won't be simple . " " Relax , once Ruth cools off , I'll get you out of prison . " Ethan said casually , handing Amy the pen to sign . Amy stood frozen , face ghostly pale . Two tears streaked down unannounced . " Are you trying to ruin my entire life ? " " How could I bear that ? " Ethan wiped her tears . " I don't like who you've become . If locking you up brings back my obedient Amy , it's worth it . Agreed ? " Amy slapped him hard , her whole frame shaking visibly . Ethan probed his stinging cheek with his tongue , wiping blood off his lip . " Not signing ? Then I'll help . " He yanked Amy over , shoved the pen into her hand . 10:04 Chapter 7 288 Mushers Ignoring her death - defying struggle , he forced her hand to scrawl a signature . Ethan held the confession , smiling in triumph : " Amy , you're mine for life . Only I decide if you live or die ! " He strode out to call his top lawyer , hellbent on jailing Amy . Amy collapsed on the floor , heart extinguished , too numb for tears . Ruth watched her devastation , propping herself up in bed : " Pity moves me . I'll confess everything . " " Truth is , Ethan always loved me . You were just my stand - in . " " You never got pregnant because those vitamins were birth control . " " And this baby ? It's Ethan's . " Each word detonated like thunder in Amy's mind . No wonder when they first met , Ethan said she felt familiar . No wonder after every time with Ethan , he would ask if she'd taken her vitamins on time . No wonder nine months ago when his elder brother was away on business , he stayed out all night and came back reeking of Ruth's perfume the next day . All the signs had been there all along . A coppery sweetness surged in her throat , and Amy spat out a mouthful of bloody fluid into the trash can . 10:04 0 Chapter 7 Ignoring her death - defying struggle , he forced her hand to scrawl a signature .

" Ethan lowered his gaze but remained silent . Ruth softly coaxed , " Just let her go ! Seeing her like this breaks my heart . Ethan took her hand and kissed it gently : " As you wish . " Amy finally left the Postpartum Care Facility . Passing a florist , she signaled the driver to stop : " I'm handcuffed and penniless . Could you buy two bouquets of Funeral Flowers ? " Once the driver stepped out , Amy scrambled into the driver's seat and slammed the accelerator , racing toward the cliff . Through the rearview mirror , she saw the driver frantically calling someone ― undoubtedly Ethan . The next instant , the car smashed through the guardrail and plunged toward the sea . Weightlessness engulfed Amy as she smiled with liberated relief . 10:04 Chapter 7 200 Wouchvers The violent impact upon hitting the water stole her consciousness .
