Chapter 351
Even After Death
Olivia was stunned. Even when they were back on the cruise ship, Ethan hadnât kissed her so deeply.
Just as she realized something was wrong, she was already trapped and couldnât break
free.
Ethanâs limbs were wrapped around her like thick vines, giving her no time to catch her breath. Ethan
might have held back when he was conscious due to his guilt. Now that he was not in his right mind, he
was acting on instinct.
Olivia tried to struggle but to no avail.
Ethan felt grounded when he could smell her scent.
âWake up, Ethan. Do you have any idea what youâre doing?â
Ethan held her hands above her head, effortlessly defusing her attacks. There was a lot of sweat on his
forehead. He said hoarsely, âLiv, Iâve never been so sure of what Iâm doing. I told
you, weâll have kids of our own.â
Kids â¦
Oliva didnât understand why Ethan was so hung up on the subject. She just wanted to get away.
âLet me go, Ethan. Donât make me hate you.â
âIf hate can become the bond that binds us, then hate me all you want.â
There was only a sliver of light shining into the room. It illuminated the area around Ethanâs
is face was hidden in the dark, like a rose blooming in the shadows-seductive but

Ethan fell back to sleep with a high fever. Olivia gritted her teeth as she headed to the bathroom to
wash up. She even went back and cleaned Ethan up.
She didnât want to be entangled with Ethan anymore. Since he thought it was a dream, she was
prepared to let him keep thinking that.
She acted as if nothing happened and exited the room.
âHeâs still feverish and hasnât woken up yet. The doctor has already given him medication. I really hope
he gets better soon.â
Kelvin said, âMrs. Miller, you might not know this, but Mr. Miller hasnât rested well in a long time.
Especially the few days following your kidnapping. He searched for you without resting. He really cares
about you.â
Olivia didnât want to discuss that with Kelvin, so she changed the subject. âLet him sleep a little bit more
and see if the fever goes down. Heâs in good shape. Itâs probably no big deal.â
Kelvin was at a loss for words. Olivia had completely ignored what he said. Kelvin understood that
Olivia didnât want to associate herself with Ethan too much, so he gave up on the topic.
Raising his head to look at Olivia, he said, âMrs. Miller, your face looks red. Do you also have a fever?
Do you need me to get the doctor for you?â
âIâm fine. I just showered in the bathroom just now. My skinâs just flushed from the hot water. Since heâs
not going to be awake for a while and I didnât sleep well last night, Iâll sleep in the other bedroom. Let
me know when he wakes up.â
Olivia spoke very naturally, so Kelvin didnât suspect anything was wrong.
âAlright, please use the bedroom as you please. This is your home too. Thereâs nothing wrong even if
you sleep on the same bed as Mr. Miller.â
Olivia thought about something and said coldly while suppressing her unease,
âDonât forget that weâre divorced. I wouldnât have come here today if I didnât need to talk to him about
something.â
She then went back upstairs to the second bedroom. Shutting the curtains, she buried herself in the
sheets. She was very tired, but she couldnât fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, sheâd
remember what happened in Ethanâs room.
Olivia rubbed her temples tiredly. She hoped that Ethan would only think of what happened as a dream
so that he would forget about it when he woke up.
