Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1261

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Liza grumbled. "Drake isn't a good person anyway. His life or death has nothing to do with us."

Garland chided, "Drake was once your fiancé. Don't be so harsh."

Liza felt embarrassed and shot back, "I am harsh. I just hate him. So what? I don't care."

She stormed upstairs, fuming. Garland sighed, knowing her temper too well.

Turning to Randy and Erica, he apologized, "I'm sorry about this. I'll talk to her later. We're all decent people here."

With that, he hurried upstairs to soothe Liza. Whenever she was upset, she would tell Bert about it. He was afraid that Bert would fly over immediately and spank him.

When passing by Drake's room, Liza glanced inside and saw him lying lifeless on the bed. Unbothered by it, she quickly turned away. She even blamed him for the grievance she was suffering.

"Miss Eaton, why aren't you going in?" Debra asked, suddenly appearing behind her.

Startled, Liza sprang around to face her. "I was just thinking about something, not here to visit him."

She paused and continued, "Take the thief of your wallet, for example. "What if he did it to save a dying family member? If you looked at it from his perspective, wouldn't you understand his desperation?"

"But stealing is wrong," Liza argued.

"Indeed, it is wrong," Debra agreed. "But from their point of view, stealing meant survival. It meant food on the table. If you were pushed to the brink, what would you choose? Starving to death or filling your belly."

"They have hands and feet, don't they?" Liza reasoned. "Why couldn't they just work for it?"
