Chapter 476
Even After Death
Oliviaâs eyes were devoid of happiness as she looked at Ethan. âI donât wanna admit it, but they are
your babies.â
His expression lit up almost instantly. He was happy yet surprised.
She added coldly, âAnd you almost killed them. I will never allow someone like you to become their
father.â
âSorry, Liv.â These days, the only words that come out of Ethanâs mouth were apologies.
âNot everything can be redeemed with an apology.
âEthan, look at my face. This slap isnât from her but from you.â Olivia reclined in the chair, exhausted.
There had been too much for her body to take in since she was pregnant.
She had used up a lot of energy while trying to break free from the nursesâ grasp. So, she was all in.
It seemed like Ethan believed her, so she didnât want to explain anything to him further.
He parted his lips but didnât say anything.
Looking at her tired face, he hugged her and sighed. âLiv, I know that you hate me. But I can never
bring myself to let you go no matter what happens.â
Olivia didnât give him a response. Only a bead of tears trickled from the corner of her eye.
She stayed still for a long time before asking softly, âAre you really not going to let me go?â
ed his arms around her.
ne go if Iâm dead?â
le instantly raised her chin, looking into her hollow eyes that made him anxious, but he shook that
feeling off.
âDad will slowly recover, and you have babies. You will wish to live on more than anyone else, Liv. Why
would you be dead?â
She let out a soft sigh. âYouâre right. I wanna live on more than anyone else.â
She wished to live, but it wasnât something she could choose.
Although Olivia was still doing fine for six months, there were a lot of risks to take into consideration.
There were chances for her condition to deteriorate at any time.
Once she was in the late stage of cancer, not even the best doctor in the world could save her.
gged her tightly. She was in his arms while pregnant with his babies.
But why did he feel like he was going to lose her for real?
Like a porcelain doll, Olivia was awfully quiet on their way back home. She let him hug her and apply
medicine to her face.
She didnât avoid him at all.
Her swollen cheek kept reminding her that he was going to do something bad to her.
When they arrived home, she lay in bed while facing her back at him.
She was basically driving him out of the room.
Ethan stood beside the bed in silence for a moment before saying, âLiv, Iâll request door-to-door
appointments with the doctor for your prenatal examinations. You donât have to go to the hospital.
She ignored him, and he added, âIâm not trying to control you. You know my identity.
â
âI didnât introduce you to the public when we first got married because Iâm afraid that youâll be their first
target. Iâve found out who pushed Connor down the stairs.â
Her body slightly shuddered at that.
He continued, âHeâs a professional assassin in the world and was one of the Black Ravensâ members.
âConsidering that an international fugitive like him suddenly hurt a kid, Iâm afraid that the
my past enemy.

âOf course, this is just speculation. No matter what theyâre after, it is obvious that Iâm their target.
âI donât want you to be one of their targets. So, Iâll try to avoid you as much as possible.
âBut
you have to work with me by taking care of yourself. You can think of it as youâre doing this for the
babiesâ sake.â
âI will risk my life to protect the babies.â Oliviaâs muffled voice resounded from the blanket. âAnd I will
risk my life to protect all of you,â he promised solemnly.
