Chapter 516
Even After Death
Olivia met with Averyâs gaze. She felt a surge of emotions, which boiled down to guilt. She had
promised to donate her kidney. Avery was already on the operating table, anesthetized. But she was
taken away by Ethan at the last second.
She didnât even get to apologize to him. Her number was then changed after returning to Aldenvine.
She was unable to contact Avery, so she still owed him an apology.
She didnât expect to see him here. She thought he had returned to his country and wondered why he
was back in Aldenvine.
Olivia felt remorse, but Avery didnât have much of a reaction after he saw her. He nodded at her with a
smile and greeted her.
Lydia was still causing a scene, but she noticed that Olivia wasnât even looking at her but at a man.
She became even angrier.
âWho are you looking at, you pregnant bitch? You canât even keep it in your pants when youâre
pregnant? Who are you flirting with?â
âMiss, you should watch your mouth,â Cyril reminded her expressionlessly.
âWatch my mouth? You should ask her to watch herself. Who knows whose baby sheâs carrying? But
sheâs flirting with a man in public. Sheâs probably the mistress of some old man, right?â
Lydia didnât notice that the crowd was looking at her like she was an idiot. Then, a voice came from the
crowd. âHave you said enough?â
Ethan had arrived, followed by Kelvin and Brent. Their presence shocked the crowd. They fell silent as
they made way for Ethan and company.
Ethanâs gaze fell on Olivia. Even though his people would send him photos of her every day, it had
been three months since he saw her in person. Her temperament was gentler after she became a
mother.
Ethan intentionally hid from Olivia during her first pregnancy, so he never noticed her change then.
Now that he saw her with a swollen belly and her hair up, emotions surged within him. The girl who was
full of smiles had become a woman.
Olivia didnât speak, but Lydia approached Ethan with a smile. âYouâre finally here, Ethan! Itâs that
pregnant woman. Sheâs the one who bullied me because she has more people on her side. You have
to teach her a lesson for me.â
Everyone was shocked, even Olivia. No one knew he had a cousin like Lydia. Olivia had heard that
Ethanâs mother was mentally ill and had been staying overseas. She didnât even get to meet Ethanâs
mother when she got married to him.
Olivia also heard that Ethan had some uncles and aunts, but most of them were overseas as well. Only
one of his aunts was in Ordchester. Olivia didnât ask, and Ethan didnât explain, Olivia just realized
that Ethanâs aunt married into the Olson family.
It was an exciting turn of events.
Olivia raised an eyebrow to look at Ethan. âSo, youâre the cousin she mentioned who can ignore the
law and keep her from trouble even if she beats me until I miscarry?â
Ethanâs expression turned stormy when he heard that. He withdrew his hand from Lydiaâs arms and
said, âYou wanted to hit her?â
Lydia had been too carefree in Ordchester. She shrugged and said, âThatâs right. She was being a
bitch. Sheâ¦â
Ethan slapped her in the face. The loud and crisp sound of the slap attracted everyoneâs attention.
Even Oliviaâs eyes widened.
Ethan was a very chivalrous man. He would never lay a hand on a woman. But he just slapped Lydia in
front of so many people.
Olivia slapped Lydiaâs right cheek, and Ethan slapped her left cheek. So, both her cheeks were swollen
now.
âEthan, youâ¦â
Ethan glared at her icily and said, âApologize to your cousin-in-law, now!â
Lydia was dumbstruck. The crowd felt satisfied as they witnessed the turn of events.
âW-What did you say? This pregnant woman isâ¦â
Ethan said slowly, âSheâs your cousin-in-law. And Iâm the old man you said she was with.â
