Her voice softened . " It's okay , Ethan . You still have me . I'll always be here for you . " " Smack ! " In the next instant , Ethan's hand struck her across the face , hard . Lillian cupped her cheek in shock , staring at him in disbelief . The Ethan she knew had always been the perfect gentleman , gentle and considerate .
