Chapter 360
Even After Death
Olivia decided to stay at Ethanâs side for the time being. One of the reasons she did that was because
he had the means to protect her.
The other was that Leia hated her. If she left, Leia would stop coming after her. She wanted to use
Ethan to lure Leia out.
She didnât tell Ethan that Colin was Leo yet. The current situation was still unclear. She had to keep an
ace up her sleeve.
She was sure that Jeff was safe in Colinâs hands. She still needed him to operate on Jeff, so she didnât
want to anger him.
Olivia had slept through the day, so she didnât feel sleepy at night. She still couldnât get through to
Colinâs phone.
Olivia pretended not to know his identity and sent him several messages. Other than him, Jack was
also nowhere to be found.
She went to get some water at 2:30 am. She saw that the lights were still on in Ethanâs study. It
seemed that he wasnât sleeping either.
In the past, she would prepare some late-night snacks for him so that he wouldnât have to work on an
empty stomach.
But now, she just drank her water and returned to her room. She treated him like a stranger.
The following day, Olivia went to the hospital early in the morning while escorted by bodyguards.
Olivia promised Chloe that she would visit her frequently. Other than seeing Chloe, Olivia also had her
reasons for going to the hospital.
Chris looked like he hadnât gotten much rest. The fatigue was apparent on his face. She greeted him
softly, âHi, Mr. Carlton.â
Chris came back to his senses and looked at her. He tried to perk himself up.
âYouâre here, Olivia. Come talk with Chloe for a bit. Thatâll improve her mood.â
âSure, Mr. Carlton. By the way, howâs the investigation into the postnatal care center going?â
Sighing, Chris said slowly, âItâs not going too well. The care center no longer exists.â
âIt no longer exists? Even if the owner of the business closed it down, there should be records, right?â
Chris shook his head, saying, âItâs more complicated than that. The technology 20 years ago was less
advanced. Even the medical records were handwritten. There are no digital copies.
âThere was a fire at the care center the same year you were born. All the records were
destroyed. Three caregivers and five babies died in the fire.
âThe business owner was faced with vast sums of compensation and massive public outcry. He was
under tremendous pressure and died a few years later.â
Olivia frowned, saying, âThatâs too much of a coincidence. I think itâs not by chance but intentional.â
âEven if we know itâs someoneâs doing, itâll be hard to investigate. The people connected to the incident
are either dead or have moved away. The only leads were destroyed in the fire.â
Chrisâ eyes were lifeless. If he couldnât get any leads, Chloeâs life would be at stake. If things continued
this way, Chloe was as good as dead.
Oliviaâs origins would remain shrouded in mystery. If the incident was intentional, it was possible that
Oliviaâs mother wasnât even in the care center. Olivia could have been brought over to the center from
somewhere else.
Olivia couldnât figure out why someone would do this. Did the person hate her, the Fordhams, or the
Parkers?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she was. She wondered where her biological
parents were and if the truth was also kept from them.
âDonât worry, Liv. Even if we canât find Ms. Parkerâs daughter, we might still find someone with
compatible bone marrow.â
âDonating bone marrow isnât like donating blood but more like donating an organ. In this day and age,
how many people would be willing to do that for a stranger?â
There was only exhaustion on Chrisâ face. Looking at him, Olivia was reminded of Jeff.
he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, âYou have to take care of yourself, Mr.
Carlton. If you collapse, Ms. Parker will lose her reason to hold on.â
hris sighed as he looked at Olivia, who was so empathetic. He then thought about Marina. He âas
speechless and choked as he held Oliviaâs hand.
If only you were my daughter.â
he door was kicked open before Olivia could say anything.
