Left for Dead Came Back for Everything novel Chapter 52

He closed his eyes, his mind uncontrollably flashing back to the beach, recalling her desolation and the stubborn look in her eyes when she had wanted to give up on life.

How helpless and desperate must she have felt to resort to such a self-destructive method just to silence the crowd?

Watching the video, he saw the relieved yet exhausted smile on her face as the dance ended.

Julian felt a suffocating wave of pain spread through his chest.

He ordered in a low voice, "Also, keep a close eye on this account. Report any updates to me immediately."

"Understood, Mr. Lawrence." Trent nodded and immediately turned to carry out the task.

Julian picked up the tablet again, his fingertips gently and tenderly brushing across her frozen smile on the screen.

In the video, she was genuinely happy while dancing.

Perhaps, this forced proof was also a sort of rebirth for her.

Meanwhile, Eliza found herself swamped with the sudden internet fame.

But Zander's lingering presence was like gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe—impossible to shake off and utterly repulsive.

Ever since their unpleasant parting at the hospital.

He seemed determined to win her back through sheer harassment.

Zander's car silently glided up in front of her, blocking her path.

The window rolled down, revealing Zander's haggard face.

"Eliza, can we talk? I promise, just five minutes."

Eliza didn't even spare him a glance, walking straight around the front of the car.

Zander immediately pushed the door open, chased after her in a few strides, and blocked her way with wide-open arms.

"Eliza, I know you don't want to see me, but I really have something important to tell you..."
