Chapter 443
Even After Death
Ethan had only uttered one word, but Monaâs knees went weak.
Dropping to the floor, Mona said, âMr. Miller, Iâll tell! Iâll tell you everything!â
Ethan frowned, thinking that Mona gave in a little too soon. He hadnât even pressured her.
âGo ahead.â
âI felt that it was a pity to throw away the roses we trimmed from the garden, so I sold them at night
for a dollar each.
âI didnât mean to be greedy. I just need money, and my grandmother has gotten sick, too. Iâm sorry, Mr.
Miller. I wonât do that again.
Ethan frowned even deeper. âThatâs what you wanted to say?â
Mona wiped her tears. âThereâs more. Iâll tell you everything.
âWhen I was trimming the trees, my hand slipped, and I accidentally trimmed the heart shape into an
apple.
âMr. Miller, please donât question my work etiquette. I-was just a little feverish that day.â
Holding his fingers against his forehead, Ethan had a look of annoyance on his face. âWhat nonsense
are you talking about?
âIâm asking you to tell me about Liv. Youâve been taking care of her these days. Did you find something
off about her?â
Mona wiped the sweat on her forehead. âMs. Fordham? She has had a small appetite lately.â
âAnd?â
âThatâs all. Ms. Fordham has always been a cold person, so she rarely talks to us.â
Mona remembered what Olivia told her. She would never betray Olivia so easily.
But then, Ethan said, âWhy didnât you tell me earlier that she couldnât eat because of her
âWhat if something happens to the child in her tummy?â
pregnancy?
Mona widened her eyes. âMr. Miller, did you already know that Ms. Fordham is pregnant? She even
told me to keep it a secret.â
She had just graduated, so she hadnât been weathered by society. So, Ethan managed to trick her
right.
*away.
Ethanâs heart sank. As expected, Henry was right. Olivia had truly gotten pregnant.
Ethan didnât let any emotions appear on his face. âOf course. She canât hide anything from me.
âSince she doesnât want me to know, then Iâll pretend I know nothing as well.
âDonât tell her anything in case it affects her mood.â
Mona agreed. âThatâs true. Pregnant women have unstable moods.
âI could feel that Ms. Fordham has had very obvious mood swings lately. She would smile one moment
and then get anxious the next.â
âWhat is she anxious about?â
âI have no idea. Perhaps it was because of the strong nausea caused by her new pregnancy. Alsoâ¦â
Mona glanced at Ethan. âShe knows that youâre going to marry Ms. Carlton, so sheâs probably feeling
uneasy.
âBack when my mom had her second pregnancy, she was very anxious, and she always felt insecure.
âMr. Miller, your relationship with Ms. Fordham right now may cause extreme nervousness.â
Ethan frowned deeply. âDid you just say that she has severe nausea?â
âYes. I heard from Ms. Fordham that itâs even worse than her last
pregnancy.
âShe couldnât eat anything, but she forced herself to eat for the sake of her child.
âSometimes, she would throw up right after eating, but she didnât care.
âShe would even throw up while eating. I can see that she cares a lot about this baby.â
Hearing those words, Ethan wondered what he was doing when Olivia had her first
Before she got pregnant, he once told her that he wanted her to have his child.
pregnancy.
On the day when she showed him her pregnancy test report, she leaped into his arms like an overjoyed
child.
But back then, he was still grieving Leiaâs death.
He felt that Oliviaâs smile was mocking him, and he didnât like it at all.
He couldnât face Olivia, so he stayed out and drowned himself in alcohol.
He had no idea that Olivia would throw up during pregnancy. âOther than throwing up, what symptoms
does she have?â
