Chapter 352
Even After Death
Ethan slept for a long time. When he woke up at night, he looked beside him as soon as he opened his
eyes. But he was alone in the bed.
He lifted the blanket to see himself fully dressed. He felt disappointed as he thought what had
happened was a dream. Maybe it was because he missed Olivia too much and was too afraid of losing
her.
Olivia would hate him even more if he really did what he thought he did. He held his head in his hands.
He still felt a little lightheaded, but the sleep cleared up his fatigue. The fever was gone, and he felt
much better.
He took a shower to freshen himself up before leaving the room. He saw Madam Burgess cooking up a
storm in the kitchen.
Her face lit up when she saw Ethan coming downstairs.
âYouâre finally awake, Mr. Miller. You must be hungry after such a long nap. Donât worry, Iâll
take care of it. Iâve made a lot of food that you and Mrs. Miller like.â
Ethan frowned, asking, âWho?â
âMrs. Miller, of course. You were still bedridden with a high fever when she came. You
probably havenât seen her yet.â
Ehtanâs eyes lit up as he asked, âSheâs still here?â
âYes. Mrs. Miller was very tired. She seemed to want to ask you about something. But she saw that you
were sick and didnât want to disturb you. Sheâs resting up in the other bedroom.â
Ma
urgess suddenly grabbed Ethanâs hand and said mysteriously, âMr. Miller, I know you sunt have
feelings for her. You have to make use of this chance. Donât drive her away
anymore.
âShe has also been sleeping for the entire day. Why donât you get her to come down for dinner?
âOkay.â
Looking out the window, Ethan saw that the storm had dissipated. It was like his relationship
with Olivia. It was calm for now.
Ethan still hadnât decided how he would deal with Leia. It was as if two voices were arguing
about what he should do every step of the way.
âIf you love her, you should tell her everything. Sheâs a very understanding woman. Sheâll
understand that youâre being used.â
âDonât be naive. Even if you didnât hurt Jeff, your sister is the one behind everything. You two are
responsible for the downfall of the Fordham family. If you tell her the truth, sheâll hate you even more.â
âSheâs the victim; she deserves to know.â
âThe truth often hurts the most. Since you have all the facts, you just need to make it up to her from
now on. Do you really want to lose her?â
Ethan had made up his mind when he arrived at Oliviaâs door. His gaze was resolute. He had loved
Olivia for ten whole years. Even when her hatred for him was at its peak, he never gave up. He
wouldnât give up now.
Ethan opened the door cautiously and walked in slowly. He could roughly make out Olivia on the bed
with the light outside the door. She was fast asleep.
Her face was slightly flushed, and she was tossing and turning in bed uneasily.
She murmured, âNo. Donâtâ¦â
Ethan suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Olivia had been through so much danger recently. She couldnât
even sleep properly.
He put his hand on her arm and shook it lightly. âWake up, Liv.â
Olivia was still drowsy, her mind all fuzzy. For a moment, she couldnât tell if she was awake or
dreaming.
She was still immersed in the time they were close, which was before their divorce. She kissed Ethan
without hesitation.
Her

ân intimacy shocked Etham. It was like the dream that he had becoming a reality. He en in place. He
didnât dare to move, lest he wake up from the dream.
The shroud of darkness made it hard to tell if everything was real or a dream.
He allowed Olivia to put her arms around his neck and grind her lips against his. With every movement,
his rationality slipped away, and their breaths grew heavier and heavierâ¦
