Chapter 161
Liam stared at the box, thinking about Snow’s current suicidal state, and found himself at a loss for words.
“I have one more request,” Ethan said.
“What is it?” Liam asked, puzzled.
“After the autopsy, I’d like you to transport the body to a spot I have in mind.” Ethan glanced at the box before explaining, “Earlier, she asked me to send her body back to her hometown. Also, this vial of medicine is quite expensive.”
Liam reflexively asked, “How expensive?”
“Five million dollars.”
“Five million!” Liam was startled.
Was this even medicine? What kind of medicine was worth five million dollars? It was more valuable than gold!
“I understand. I’ll make sure to send her there when the time comes,” Liam said.
Liam took the box and left Drakthorn Ridge.
At the hospital, he looked at Snow sitting on the bed with a lifeless expression and said, “I just visited Mr. Rivers.”
“He gave you a vial of medicine.”
“Once you drink it, you will go painlessly.”
Snow took the box and opened it. Inside was a small vial of red liquid. Looking at the vial, she smiled with relief.
“Thank
you. Please also tell Mr. Rivers that I’m grateful.”
Liam nodded.
“Before I go, can I entrust you with a letter?” Snow asked.
“For whom?”
“For Stephen.”
Liam was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He had someone bring paper, a pen, and an envelope, then sat nearby waiting.
Snow’s weak body struggled as she wrote the letter.
Once she was done, she put the letter in the envelope and handed it to Liam with both

hands. “Thank you again.”
Liam took the letter and asked, “Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Yes.” Snow smiled. “This is my choice. Don’t worry, I’ve long been prepared for this. In fact, Mr. Rivers predicted this day would come long ago.”
She had no other path to take except death.
Snow picked up the vial and drank it all at once. Unlike what she expected, the liquid was sweet. It tasted just like sugar.
Snow looked at the empty vial and said with a gentle chuckle, “Thank you, Mr. Rivers.”
Although she had suffered a lot, she found comfort in tasting something sweet at the very last moments of her life.
A few minutes later, her body fell lifelessly onto the bed, completely still.
Liam waited for half an hour before calling the doctor.
The hospital tried to save her, but it was too late. After determining the time of death, Liam took possession of her body.
Snow’s case was closed as a suicide to avoid punishment.
As Ethan instructed, Liam took Snow’s body back to her hometown.
However, he did not see any villages or houses in the area. All he saw was just a wasteland. The area was uneven and overgrown with weeds, and ruins of houses were barely visible among the grass.
The only thing that stood out was a van parked not far away.
The van’s door abruptly opened, and a young woman got out. She walked straight to Liam’s car.
“Hello, Chief Yates,” she said.
Liam was surprised. “You know me?”
“Yes,” the young woman smiled. “Mr. Rivers told me to wait for you here.”
Liam was shocked.
How did Ethan, who was isolated in the deep mountains, contact anyone? How did he manage that?
“Are you here to receive Snow?” Liam asked.
The woman smiled. “That’s right.”
“Then, I’ll leave her with you.‘

Since the woman mentioned Ethan and clearly knew he would bring Snow here, Liam was certain that Ethan had sent her.
The woman pulled the gurney with Snow’s body out. “Chief Yates, you may go back now.”
Liam still had many lingering questions, but from the woman’s body language, he could tell that she would not explain anything. Thus, he kept his questions to himself.
Besides, Snow had undergone an autopsy and was confirmed dead.
“Well, I’ll get going,” he said.
Liam drove away and soon disappeared.
The woman pushed the gurney to the van and respectfully said to someone inside,
“Mr. Rivers, Snow has arrived.”
Click.
The door opened.
Ethan emerged from the van!
He presented a set of silver needles and inserted them into several of Snow’s acupoints.
Suddenly!
“Pooh!”
Snow sat up, violently spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
She was alive!
She looked around in confusion, muttering, “Where am I?”
