Chapter 536
Even After Death
When Cody heard what Olivia said, she panicked. âPlease tell me youâre kidding, Mrs. Miller.â
âIâve given birth prematurely in the sea before. This feels the same as it did back then.â
âHold on tight to me, Mrs. Miller.â
Owen Pullman couldnât afford any mistakes. He swiftly swam to the shore with Olivia.
Dragging Olivia out of the sea with all his might, he took out an emergency light.
Olivia was drenched in water, and Cody wasnât sure if it was sea water or Oliviaâs water breaking. With
a cold expression, Cody said sternly, âLet me have a look.â
Other than the water breaking, there was even blood streaming out. Codyâs expression changed. âOh,
no. Mrs. Miller, your water broke, and youâre also bleeding.â
If the water broke, this meant that the children would be born prematurely. But now that Olivia was
bleeding, the situation just got more complicated.
The rupturing capillaries near the membrane might be the cause of the bleeding. But if the blood came
from the babies, then they were done for.
Oliviaâs tummy hurt terribly. At that moment, she was barely breathing as she spoke, biting her lip. âDr.
Wells, save my children.â
串
Cody looked at the cliff. They couldnât climb up the cliff with a pregnant woman who was about to give
birth prematurely. There were even enemies up there.
Even if they could wait, the children couldnât. Cody made her decision swiftly. âWe have no other
choice. Find a good place. Iâm helping Mrs. Miller with her delivery right now.â
Owen scanned the area. He finally found a rock that was a little flatter than the rest.
It had a part that jutted out, perfect for shielding them from the storm.
âMrs. Miller, please hold on. Weâll go over there for the delivery.â
With that, Owen carried Olivia in his arms. Then, he climbed toward the spot under the rock.
Olivia was already enveloped in pain. She couldnât hear the sounds of the wind or rain, and she
couldnât feel the cold, either.
The pain in her tummy spread throughout her body. It was so painful that she felt like she was being
torn apart. She could sense the children moving down.
Her face was filled with tears, for she had already lost a child once. Compared to the pain, she was
even more worried that the tragedy would repeat itself.
Usually, fetuses over seven months old had a very high chance of survival.
But those who were only a little more than six months old had a low chance of surviving. At this stage,
the babyâs organs werenât fully developed yet.
Even in hospitals, it wasnât easy to keep them alive. They might not be saved even if they were placed
into incubators right away. Much less could be said of deliveries under these circumstances.
Owen lowered Oliviaâs body. Then, he immediately took off his coat and placed it under Oliviaâs body.
He also passed his phone to Olivia.
âMrs. Miller, please get help. Dr. Wells, I leave the rest to you.â
Someone had already noticed that Olivia had been rescued from the ocean. The assassins climbed
over the railing, scaling the cliff as they descended. They were determined to kill Olivia.
Gunshots sounded above them. It was a good thing that the rock was thick and heavy, so it served as
the perfect shield.
Also, the cliff was steep and covered in moss. It wouldnât be that easy for the pursuers to descend,
Owen was betting on that difference in time. He found a place to take cover. While those people were
coming down, he shot at their legs.
It was already difficult for them to remain stable. So, as soon as their legs stopped working, many of
those people rolled down the cliff.
Meanwhile, Cody adjusted Oliviaâs posture. She said in a stern voice, âDonât be scared, Mrs. Miller. Iâll
make sure youâre safe.â
âNo, protect my children. You have to save them.â
With tears running down her face, Olivia pleaded as she dialed Ethanâs number.
The call went through soon enough. There were also noises on Ethanâs end.
âWhere are you!â Ethanâs voice was urgent on the other end of the line.
âEthan, itâs me.â
âLiv! Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Donât be afraid. Iâve arrived.â
When Ethan heard Oliviaâs weak voice, he urgently asked about her current situation.
âM-My water broke. The children are being born prematurely. When you go up the mountain, youâll see
a stretch of broken railing. Weâre right under it. Ethan, I⦠Ahâ¦â
Enduring the pain, Olivia breathed heavily. âI donât care what you do, but you must protect the children.
Even if I die, I want the children to survive!â
