Chapter 338
Even After Death
The woman placed a wet cloth over Oliviaâs mouth to stop her from screaming, Olivia struggled hard,
shaking her limbs and twisting her body. Her movements caused the chains to make rattling sounds.
Olivia didnât want to die. She had a lot of things she needed to do, but her struggles were futile. Even
though her wrists and ankles were scraped raw, she couldnât break free from the metal chains.
âOlivia, itâs your biggest mistake to have ever met him.â
Olivia shook her head with all her might. She could only make muffled sounds with her mouth.
âIt wonât hurt. Itâll all be over soon.â
A tear rolled down from the corner of Oliviaâs eye, but the woman ignored it.
Olivia could only watch as the syringe got closer and closer to her. It was almost touching her skin.
Suddenly, the womanâs phone rang. She wanted to ignore it, but the ringtone annoyed her.
âWhat do you want? Iâm busy,â the woman said furiously.
Her expression soon changed. The needle that was about to penetrate Oliviaâs skin stopped in place.
âWhat? How did they find out? Retreat. Donât confront them head-on.â
She hung up the phone and repositioned the needle while looking at Olivia coldly. Hatred for Olivia
filled her eyes.
âSo long.â
Olivia could feel the needle tip on her skin, which was about to pierce through. However, the door was
kicked open abruptly, and the womanâs assistant appeared with a panicked look.
âBad news! The base sustained heavy losses. I heard that Leo has gone out to settle the score with
him. You know him. Heâll never let such a good chance slip by him.â
âHe came in person?â
âThatâs right. Heâs the one leading the charge.â
âDamn it!â
The woman cursed. She no longer had the time to pay Olivia any attention. She turned and left in
haste.
Olivia was so scared that she was sweating all over. A cold breeze blew on her, making her shiver.
She didnât feel any relief that her life was saved. She was thinking about the name Jennifer brought up.
Leo.
Was that the person who could operate on her father?
Colin had told him that Leo had already set out to the island. Why was he still in Aldenvine?
But if he was in Aldenvine, why couldnât Ethan find him?
Questions filled Oliviaâs head as she gazed at the heavy rain outside. She thought that the womanâs
eyes looked familiar.
Some things began to take root in her heart. A lot of details that she previously missed began to make
sense.
She was getting close to the truth.
So, was Ethan the person who was attacking Toxic Hiveâs base? Why would the woman have such a
huge reaction if it wasnât him? She even gave up on killing her at the very last moment.
Ethan led the offense personally?
Olivia thought about the call she had with him on the island. He told her to wait for a few days and that
he would bring her
back himself. She realized he was planning to get rid of Toxic Hive to prepare for her return.
Then why would he reveal her whereabouts? Olivia then realized that Toxic Hive must have uncovered
her location and made it known to Chris.
What about Ethan? He was in the middle of a dangerous situation. Was he okay?
A lightning bolt streaked across the sky, and a thunderous clap could be heard.
Olivia screamed at the top of her lungs, âSomeone, help!â
The bodyguards heard her and immediately rushed in.
âLet me go!â
âPlease settle down, Ms. Fordham. We donât want to hurt you. Save some energy and cooperate with
us. Itâll be better for everyone involved.â
âI want to see Chris Carlton,â Olivia said.
Chris came in shortly. He saw Olivia with tears all over her face and asked, âWhat happened to you,
Olivia? Did the procedure hurt? 1â¦â
He noticed the scrapes on Olviaâs wrists and ankles. Frowning, he said, âI told you to take good care of
her. How did this happen to her?â
Olivia said with a sob, âMr. Carlton, I agree to donate my bone marrow. Please help me.â
âDear child, whatâs wrong? Just tell me. Iâll do whatever I can to help.â
âGo save Ethan. Heâs in danger.â
