Chapter 507
Even After Death
Olivia got a run-down of Jeffâs situation from a doctor. She didnât know if she should be happy or sad.
The good thing was that Jeff was fine. The bad thing was that he was back in a coma.
Olivia sighed deeply. She understood that she and her children were the anchor that held Jeff to the
world. If she werenât here, heâd probably already be dead.
Ethan approached Olivia with huge strides. His tall figure cast a shadow on Olivia. âLiv.â
Oliviaâs expression went cold when she saw Ethan. The hatred in her voice was clear. She asked,
âWhy did you come? Are you here to see if Iâm dead?â
Her eyes used to be filled with gentleness and love. But hate and disdain were the only emotions left.
Ethan was thinking about how Olivia used to love him so deeply. It was very endearing. He could never
have imagined they would slowly drift apart until their relationship became irreparable.
Currently, Olivia couldnât even stand the sight of him.
Ethan sighed and said, âLiv, Iâll find your birth parents for you.â
He knew Olivia too well. That was the only way he could get her to pay him any attention.
As expected, Olivia turned back around to look at him. âWhat did you say?â
âI just learned about how you and Marina were swapped.â
Olivia reluctantly spoke to him since it concerned her origin. âYou donât have to waste your effort. Mr.
Carlton had tried to look into it when he was still alive. The postnatal care center was burned down.
The owner is dead too. There are no leads to start an investigation.â
âSomeone else knows the truth.â
Oliviaâs eyes lit up. âYou mean Helen Gibson?â
âYes, sheâs the one behind it all. She definitely knows who your birth parents are.â
âShe might not even tell us. I had planned to question her after my dad recovered. But then something
like this happened.â
Olivia looked very frail. She didnât know what she did wrong. She couldnât understand why life was so
hard on her.
Ethan wrapped his hand around her shoulder and said gently, âLiv, I told you that you still have me. Iâll
never leave you. Iâve already canceled my engagement with Marina. I wonât marry her. Youâll be the
only Mrs. Miller I ever have.â
If Marina hadnât caused so much trouble, Ethan wouldnât have gone back on the promise he made
Kurt.
But Olivia didnât care. She looked at him with an icy gaze. Smiling mockingly, she said, âDo you think
Iâd still care about what you do?â
âI know you donât care about me. You might even hate me. But this is my answer to you. Liv, Iâm not
asking you to ignore what Iâve done. I admit that Iâm fully responsible for what happened to Dad. But
thereâs another mastermind behind it all.â
Ethanâs expression was calm, but his voice was steady. âA lot of questions arose from Jodieâs death. I
felt that something was wrong. But these seemingly unrelated things seem to be linked. I think maybe
someone has been after you from the start.â
âMe?â
âYes, Jodieâs death was just the start. The people behind it all might have something to do with your
origins. This is just my speculation now, but Iâll try to uncover the truth as soon as possible.
âLiv, what happened today might just be a coincidence, but it might not be the case next time. Whether
itâs related to you or not, I hope you wonât refuse my help. Let me protect you and the children, for their
sake.â
