Chapter 265
Even After Death
The personâs voice was deliberately disguised so that it couldnât be distinguished. But when the person
tilted Oliviaâs chin with their fingers, Olivia caught a faint scent of herbs.
Olivia had only studied modern medicine, so she had little knowledge of herbal medicine. She wasnât
able to tell what kind of herbs she was smelling or even if it was a mixture of several herbs.
âDo you plan to kill me?â Olivia asked directly.
âYour life is not in my hands.â
Olivia frowned, confused. She didnât understand what other motive the person would have for bringing
her to a place like this.
âWhat do you mean?â Olivia felt more uneasy after she learned that she wouldnât be killed. If they were
keeping her alive, it would surely have something to do with Ethan.
âIâm already divorced from him. I have nothing now. What else do you want from me?â
The personâs fingers tightened around Oliviaâs chin. Olivia winced in pain, but she didnât make a sound.
âYouâre a smart woman. I can see why he likes you so much.â
The person saw through Oliviaâs intent to get more information out of her. She didnât bring up a single
word about her plans
for Ethan.
Olivia saw that the person didnât take the bait. âWith the way things are now, I know I wonât be able to
leave here alive. If my guess is correct, this must be an abandoned house near the ocean. Ethan wonât
be able to come here in time to save me.â
âThatâs right.â
âI have one request before I die. Can you show me your face? I want to see the face of the person that
brought my family to ruins.â
The fingers on Oliviaâs chin tightened once more. âYou have no right to request anything from me.â
The person did not let up and added, âI told you, you might not be the one to die today.â
Olivia wanted to say something more, but she heard the sound of a phone vibrating.
The person picked up the phone and said with a laid-back tone, âIâm just playing around. Are you mad
that I hurt her?â
The room was quiet. Olivia thought she heard the voice of a man coming from the other end of the
phone. Before she could listen closely, the person let go of her chin.
The person walked away to continue their conversation on the phone. Olivia could hear the
nonchalance in that personâs tone. It was as if Oliviaâs life had no value to them.
Olivia tried to calm herself. She was blindfolded, so she couldnât inspect her surroundings. She didnât
dare to break through the ropes around her hands.
She held onto the pen knife in her palm tightly. Even if she didnât walk out of here today, she was
determined to go down with
that person.
This was the best chance she had for revenge. It would be hard for her to find the person again on her
own.
Olivia would also like to see what tricks the person had hidden up their sleeve. She kept telling herself
she couldnât be rash. But she couldnât control the massive throbbing pain in her stomach.
She curled up in a ball due to the pain. Her body was covered in sweat. It was just one thing after
another for her.
She bit her lip as she tried to wrestle with the pain. Suddenly, she felt something cool on her lips. It
seemed to be a cup.
Olivia didnât dare to drink from it. A cold voice said, âYouâre already here anyway. Why would we drug
you?â
âDr. Galloway?â
Dr. Galloway didnât deny it. She said, âDrink it, now.â
Olivia quiddy took two sips. It was warm chamomile tea.
âDr. Galloway, did you kill Belle?â Olivia took the chance to ask her a question.
âStop talkingâ Dr. Galloway didnât answer.
âDr. Galloway, I went to see Belleâs body. She died a horrible death. Do you have a grudge against her?
Did she really have to die like that? Thatâs a life you took Wonât it keep you up at night?â
