Chapter 34
Even After Death
Ethan replied, âOkay.â
For the first time in more than a year, both of them gave in. She tightly wrapped herself around him like
she did before. His finger moved slightly but eventually rested on his side.
The car drove to Ethanâs company. He asked Kelvin to send Olivia horne.
Olivia went to the hospital instead of the Miller residence. Jeff was still unconscious and had been
moved to a normal ward.
Olivia sent the helper home and personally prepared a bowl of warm water to wipe down his face and
fingers.
She muttered, âDad, I know your secret. I wish it wasnât true. Please wake up and tell me that itâs not,
will you? Tell me you didnât do those things, that you didnât kill Jodie.
âDad, I have stomach cancer. Ethan doesnât know, and itâs for the best. If I give my life to him, will he let
go of his hatred?
âMy life has been smooth sailing thus far. You took really good care of me while I was growing up.
Youâre the best dad in the world. No matter what youâve done to others, you will always be someone I
respect. Iâll fix the damage youâve done.
âI know you would never let me do this if you were still here, but I have no choice. I love him. I fell in
love with him eight years ago. It doesnât matter if itâs only one month. Iâm willing to put up with it.â
Olivia had a lot on her mind. She sat by her fatherâs bedside for a long time, venting.
She knew that her time on earth was slowly depreciating. This was the only thing she could do for her
father.
She went back to the Miller residence in the afternoon. Ethan was a man of his word. He never broke
any promises he made.
The moment Olivia reached the Miller residence, she saw Marina, who had been waiting by the porch
for a long time.
Since Ethan was not present, she removed her facade. She looked like she was about to start trouble.
She glared fiercely at Olivia. âDo you think heâs going to come running back to you? Give up, Olivia.â
Olivia wasnât angry. She stared at her calmly. âMarina, do you love Ethan?â
Marina was startled. She never expected Olivia to suddenly ask this question.
Af
pment, she answered, âI decided to marry him and no one else more than ten years ago. I met him
earlier than you
him more than you do. You canât win.â
Olivia smiled wryly and responded, âI know that.â
She raised her head and said lightly, âI donât know if you believe me, but I never wanted to be your
enemy. Even today.â
The dead could never win a fight against the living. Moreover, a conversation would not make her
business with Ethan disappear.
âI only want one month. After one month, I will leave the city.â
âDo you take me for a child? Youâ¦â
Before she could finish, a loud babyâs voice yelled, âMama!â
A small bundle of joy wearing a teddy bear onesie appeared in the snow. He waddled his way with his
unsteady feet toward them. He fell after taking two steps. He ended up crawling.
Connor swiftly crawled toward Olivia. Olivia was faster than Marina. She went forward and quickly
scooped him up from the
snow.
The little angel looked very happy. He reached out with his chubby hands and tried to hug Oliviaâs
neck.
Marina swatted his arm away, causing the baby to cry. Oliviaâs heart ached at the sight of this, and she
tried to hug him to stop the crying.
