Chapter 425
Even After Death
Ethanâs eyes were filled with guilt. He was aware that Olivia hated him with all her might.
But he had already made his choice. He could only stick with it until the end.
âLiv, Iâm sorry.â
Ethan forcefully took Olivia away.
Olivia couldnât do anything about her situation. He brought her back to the Manor of Roses, the place
that he once built to win her favor.
The rose garden has grown denser since Olivia came two years ago. The roses were swaying in the
evening breeze.
âLiv, you can live here with your father from now on. Iâve gathered a medical team for him. Heâll recover
soon enough.â
Olivia felt anxious when Ethan mentioned Jeff.
âDo whatever you want to do, Ethan. But donât hurt my father, please. He just regained consciousness.
I have nothing else except my father.â
Ethan touched her cheeks gently. âLiv, I swear Iâll never hurt you or your father anymore. Give me a
chance to take care of the both of you.â
Olivia slapped his hand away and said in an outburst, âBut youâre the one who caused all the pain!â
Ethan looked at her with a stubborn and obsessive expression.
âDonât go, Liv. Iâll take care of you. Stay here and rest for a bit. Iâll see how dadâs doing.â
Olivia went livid when he said that. She didnât know what he was trying to do.
She followed Ethan uneasily. Jeff had been brought back without knowing what was going on. His eyes
lit up when he saw Ethan.
He stammered, âE-Ethan.â
Jeff could only muster enough strength to call Ethanâs name after a while.
Ethan approached him with a smile and said, âDad, sorry for the long and uncomfortable trip.â
âIt-Itâs okay.â
Jeffâs gaze alternated between Olivia and Ethan.
His memory stopped two years ago. All he remembered was Olivia being the only person to care for
him while he was hospitalized.
Jeff reached his hand out toward Ethan. Olivia watched as Ethan crouched beside Jeff and held Jeffâs
hand in his.
Jeff reached his other hand toward Olivia. She didnât want to risk riling him up, so she walked toward
him.
Jeffâs palms were bony, and his body shook uncontrollably, but he tried his best to pull their hands
together.
He was still under the impression that Olivia was head over heels for Ethan. He didnât know about the
divorce.
It took him great effort just to put their hands together. When Ethanâs hand covered Oliviaâs, Jeff
said, âTake care⦠of her.â
âIâll take good care of the both of you,â Ethan said.
Jeff nodded happily and said, âGood, good.â
Olivia couldnât tell Jeff the truth. It was not time for that yet.
He had just woken up, and his body was still recovering. She could only tell him after he had
recovered.
It was like Ethan was trying to make it up to Jeff and Olivia. He was extra nice to Jeff.
Not only did he help Jeff with his rehabilitation personally, but he also helped him wash up.
Initially, Jeff was unwilling. âCar-Caregiver.â
Ethan interrupted and said, âDad, Iâm your son-in-law. Let me do it. You should rest first, Liv. Iâll help
dad shower.â
Olivia gritted her teeth but didnât respond. Ethan knew that Olivia would stay as long as he had Jeff
here.
