Chapter 1151
Even After Death
Despite being in Heath residence, Ethan reveled in the pleasure too much.
Olivia was being devoured inside out.
Forget about getting out of bed, she thought her bones were going to break from lifting her arm.
âMr. Heath is going to keep the Kingstons entertained today. You can keep me company.â
Resting against his chest, Olivia huffed and puffed, trying to catch her breath.
She hadnât returned to her senses from the intense wave of pleasure.
âIf I remember correctly, youâve always kept yourself restrained in whatever you do. Why did you
become so untrammeled?â
At that time, he acted like a ruler in whatever he did. Even the gaze he gave her at home was cold.
Now, everything was different. A glance from Olivia was enough to turn Ethan into a Golden Retriever
that would pounce on her.
His overloaded enthusiasm was hard for her to keep up with.
âI was too naive back then. I didnât realize how precious you were to me until I lost you.â His fingertips
traced along her smooth cheek. âLiv, after experiencing so many things, do you know how happy I am
to be able to still hug you?â
It took a lot of lessons for one to realize oneâs desires.
There were a lot of things fettering Ethanâs freedom during his younger days.
When he lost the person he cherished, he regretted it from the bottom of his heart, day and night.
It wasnât easy for him to discover that ray of hope to live again.
No matter what it took, he was determined not to return to that slump of darkness.
It was not until night that he left the room with a heavy heart.
Now that the source of chaos had disappeared, Olivia was able to get a good nightâs rest. She was all
spirited the next day.
Today, she needed to perform acupuncture on Marina.
Olivia specially made breakfast for Mason, who had a restless sleep last night.
Tired, he rested his hand on his temple.
âGrandpa Mason, did you not sleep last night again?â
âThatâs normal for old people.â
Olivia initially wanted to leave after serving breakfast. But the sight of his listless expression elicited a
sigh from her.â Lie down.
Iâll give you a massage.â
âYou know a lot.â
âI learned a lot of traditional medicine from my grandmother, n Mason closed his eyes. âDo you miss
your family?â
âSo what if I miss them? I donât know where they are or who they are.â Helplessness seeped into her
voice.
âDonât be pressured by your kidsâ matters. Itâs their lives.
Your injury is a serious one. The emotional stress from overthinking wonât do you good. I can treat your
body, but not your mental illness.â
âIf only my daughter were as mature as you are, Iâd be able to get a good nightâs sleep.â
âMs. Heath grew up pampered. Itâs not a bad thing for her to suffer a little. Sheâll grow up.â
âIâm embarrassed that you saw that.â
Olivia shook her head. âDonât be. Everyone drank a lot that night, and sheâs young. Itâs easy to cross
the line considering the situation.â
âThanks for the massage. I feel much better.â
âIâll prescribe some medicine for you. Ask someone to get the ingredients. When I return, Iâll make a
bag of herbs to aid your sleep. You can put it under your pillow.â
âOkay.â
Mason drifted into sleep during Oliviaâs massage. She realized that he depended on her very much.
It would be easy for her to murder him right now, but she didnât have a reason to do so.
She took a blanket to drape it over him. When she walked out of the room, she informed the maids not
to enter so as to not disturb him.
After putting on a coat, she left the house in a hurry. A car was prepared for her.
Getting into the car, she met Linusâ eyes.
His expression was impassive as he wore a black coat. âIâm heading somewhere. I can drop you off
along the way.â
âThanks.â Olivia stayed close to the car door, leaving a huge space in between.
He asked, âAre you afraid of me?â
âNo, what I have for you is respect,â she answered confidently. Her eyes were free from clouds of fear.
Linus rested his hands on his knees. His posture was always upright wherever he was.
âI heard that the drink you had was drugged.â He suddenly leaned toward her, driving her to a corner.
His glint was shrewd. âHow did you pull it through?â
