Tyler took Will into the birdcage room, and locked Will's hands and feet to the iron rods of the cage with four handcuffs. Will's face was facing into the cage, and he could see everything in the cage, but he didn't understand why Tyler tied him like that. Liana tried to grab the gun off the table, but Tyler swiftly grabbed her wrist and tossed her into the birdcage.
Tyler produced a pair of handcuffs, looking deep into Liana's eyes, he asked her, "Would you rather spend another month with me, or would you prefer to stay here with him, Which one will you choose?"
Liana glanced at Tyler, whose eyes were bloodshot, then at the handcuffs, and shook her head. "Tyler, don't do this. When they find me, you'll be locked up for a very long time."
Tyler smirked, "If I cared about jail time, I wouldn't have brought you here…"
With a chilling touch, Tyler lifted Liana’s chin, "What's your choice?"
Liana couldn't leave Will alone here, so she chose the latter. "Since you're not planning to let me go, just tie me up with him."
No matter what she chose, Tyler would always have control over her, so she might as well stay here with Will.
Upon hearing her choice, Tyler's heart ached. The pain surged like a tidal wave. His eyes reddened as he stared at Liana and asked through gritted teeth, "Do you... really love him that much?"
Did she really love Will that much? So much that she would rather give up any chance of survival, willingly getting locked in a cage just to stay with a dying doctor?
But she loved him more, right? The one she loved since childhood, even when he despised, mocked, and bullied her, she loved him unconditionally. How could she fall for someone else so quickly?
Liana didn't answer Tyler's question, she just stretched out her hands and coldly said, "If you want to lock me up, just do it. Enough with the pointless talk, it doesn't mean anything."
Between them, all the talk about love or lack thereof was meaningless, and even seemed ironic. She loved him when he didn't love her and treated her poorly. What's the point of talking about love now?
Tyler's eyes lowered, hiding the bloodshot gaze beneath. He looked at Liana's pale hands, "Liana, tell me, so I can finally let go…"
Hearing that he would let go, Liana didn't hesitate to say what was on her mind, "Since you insist on knowing, I'll tell you."
Her gaze fell on the still unconscious Will, "I love him, deeply. If it weren't for you, I would have married him a long time ago…"
