She had to go.
If she left, he would be safe.
With a little bit of rationality, Alice turned and was about to open the door.
"Bam."
William's hand suddenly pressed down onto the glass door beside her ear, hard.
"Wait."
He stood behind her and stared at her with his eyes locked onto her face. His handsome face did not have any expression, as he coldly spoke, "Since you heard that I was inclined to commit suicide and was willing to come with Daniel, I think it's necessary for me to tell you the consequences of refusing this transaction."
Consequences.
Why would there be consequences?
Alice stood there and raised her eyes to meet his. Her body was inexplicably cold, as if she was immersed in a world of ice and snow.
"Alice."
William pressed a hand on the door and lowered his face even closer to hers, his nose almost touching hers. His warm breath flowed onto her face, as the thin lip slowly opened up and spoke, "The result of your rejection is, I will turn this wedding into a funeral!"
"Whose funeral?"
Alice asked with a trembling voice, her words not complete.
Why did it become a funeral?
"Of course it's Mona's and my funeral. Oh, right, I love you so much. How can I bear to see my father harm you? I'll bring my father away as well."
William said as he got closer to her, and the thin lip almost stuck close to her words, "Then you and Patrick without any worries. You two can step on my corpse to fall in love, get married, and have a whole bunch of children. It doesn't seem too bad, does it? "
Alice's body was extremely cold, without a trace of warmth.
"William, are you crazy?"
How could he say such a thing?
Hearing this, William seemed to have heard some kind of funny joke, and said, "I'm a psychopath to begin with!"
He had paranoid personality disorder. Did she forget that he could do anything?
At this moment, Alice's panic and pain had turned into fear. She looked at him who was in front of her fearfully, and her hands slowly slipped off the doorknob. She then leaned on the glass door and slid down, until she sat on the ground.
He's really crazy.
How could he be this extreme?
William lowered his eyes and stared at her. He slowly crouched down beside her, raised a hand and pressed it on her shoulder. His palm was burning hot, and his fingertips moved along her shoulder and then he lifted her chin.
Alice was forced to raise her head, her eyes filled with tears.
"Why are you crying? I'm doing this for your own good." William stared at her and said unhurriedly, his voice extremely magnetic, "Alice, I have already harmed you many times. I have caused you to be imprisoned, given you to give birth in advance, caused your body to become worse. I know I'm wrong, so I won't do anything harm to you."
Alice sat on the ground and looked at his face vaguely.
"I must protect you." William caressed her soft face with his palm and wiped away her tears, "Either I use my own chest to protect you, or I use corpses to protect you."
So this was what he meant when he realized his mistake.
It actually had that meaning.
Alice looked at him as tears rolled down her face, "You lunatic. You can't do this. Do you know how many enemies you will have if you are engaged with me?"
If she had known earlier, she would not have advised him to be with Mona.
She was wrong.
A huge mistake.
She didn't think that he would be so paranoid that he would kill everyone.
"I know." William squatted there and continued to wipe her tears. His voice was low and firm.
"Then do you know how good your life is right now? How many people envy you? How can you ruin your own life?" Alice shouted excitedly.
His life was so glorious and dazzling, how could he collapse like that just for her?
How could he?
There was no one as foolish as him, nor was there anyone that would do such a thing.
William looked at her, his eyes slightly red, then said with a low laugh, "I want my life to be added onto the life of you, Alice. But if I can't, I'll use my life as a stepping stone, and let you live well!"
Hearing that, Alice completely crumbled as she hugged her own head and cried out loud.
Madman.
The most terrifying madman.
"Think about it slowly." William looked at her and said as he stood up from the ground. He lowered his head and looked at the time, "There are still two hours until the engagement ceremony begins, so you have time."
Alice just sat there, her entire body cold and her mind in chaos.
She was forced to the point that she had no other choice.
Whether she advanced or retreated, she would destroy the rest of his life.
She didn't want to do this at all. She only wanted him to live on. She only wanted him to do this. Why did he force her to do this?
North Bay, on the very edge of San Francisco. On the coast, the seawater was so clean that blue sky was reflected on the surface of the sea.
The rocks on the beach were mostly white.
The helicopter flew over the view below. On the white beach, it found a large cobblestone sign: ON BATTENDING.
