Chapter 356
Even After Death
Ethan said slowly, âYou were friends with him? Why havenât you told me about that? How else are you
related to him?â
Anger flared in Ethanâs eyes.
Olivia was upset. âAre you and Marina the only ones allowed to be childhood friends? Why canât I be
childhood friends with Colin? I didnât tell you about that because I didnât see the need
1.
âHe was just a playmate. Just because you have malicious intent doesnât mean heâs the same.â
Smirking, Ethan said, âYou think Iâm malicious and heâs good?â
The mocking smile made Olivia feel uncomfortable. But with everything said, Olivia retorted stubbornly,
âAm I wrong? You cheated on me while you were married to me, and you even have kids with her. If
youâre not the bad guy here, no one else would be.â
Ethan started to breathe heavily from the rage he felt. âOlivia, do you even know what kind of person he
is? And what he has done?â
âWhat could he possibly do?â Olivia recalled her phone call to Colin that didnât go through and the fact
that Ethan got into trouble last night. She wondered if Colin was also dragged into this
matter.
Ethan pointed to his chest, saying, âYou tricked me into letting him go on the boat. I complied because I
didnât want to hurt you. What about him? He shot me here the moment he got the
chance to do so.â
Confusion flashed in Oliviaâs eyes. Ethan added, âYou want to ask why Iâm still alive, right? Well, I
wouldâve been dead if I wasnât wearing a bulletproof vest.
âAnd if he hadnât tried to play it safe by aiming at my heart and had shot my head instead, Iâd
either be dead or in a coma right now.â
Colinâs warm smile appeared in Oliviaâs mind. She muttered, âHow could thisâ¦â
âYou might think heâs an innocent young man. But have you ever thought about it closely? He was the
first person to find you even though no one else could. Why would he know where you
were?â
âIâ¦â
âAnd you also mentioned that he has a wound on his back.â
Olivia anxiously replied, âYes, I saw it with my own eyes. How could that be fake?â
âDid you know that it was an all-out gunfight at the hospital that night? Who would use a
knife in a situation like that?â
âA gunfight?â Olivia echoed. Gunfights were something that only appeared in movies for regulÃ¥r people.
âSeems like he also told you that four groups of people were trying to take your father. But he didnât tell
you how many casualties there were, huh?â
Olivia asked with quivering lips, âH-How bad⦠was it?â
Ethan took his phone out and showed her the security footage of what happened.
The scene was chaotic. Even though the guns were fitted with silencers, Olivia could still see the
bullets hitting people and blood splattering everywhere. People were falling one after the other.
The victims included doctors, nurses, patients, and family members. Even cleaners werenât spared.
Everything happened so quickly that no one could react. No one would have expected such a brutal
gunfight to take place out of nowhere in this peaceful age.
By the time people started to process what was happening, others were already lying in pools of blood.
Some people didnât even have the time to scream.
The victims fell one after another way quicker than what movies showed. None of them were prepared.
In a matter of seconds, they were already down.
The white walls were splattered with blood, and people were sprawled all over the corridor. Some were
still moving, but others were already dead.
Tears welled up in Oliviaâs eyes. It was way worse than what sheâd imagined. It was hell on earth.
She finally understood why the authorities wanted to keep the incident a secret. If news about the
incident got out, it would definitely shock and terrify the public.
Ethan asked coldly, âLet me ask you this. Do you still think itâs possible that he was stabbed in such an
intense shootout?â
