Chapter 541

Olivia’s walls of rationality crumbled. Her babies were her last straw.

A pang of despair twinged her as much as she had looked forward to their birth.

Tears and blood dripped onto the floor.

Kneeling on the bed, she clawed at her hair. “Ethan, you shouldn’t have saved me. It’s too painful to

stay alive!”

She couldn’t figure out the meaning of her living.

Her existence itself was a bad omen; she would only bring misfortune to the people around her.

Ethan hugged Olivia again. “Do you know why I saved you? Fine, I’ll tell you why now.”

He crouched to slip socks and shoes to her feet before carrying her.

“Where are you bringing me to?”

“You’ll find out soon.”

He carried her to one of the patient rooms that consisted of three compartments.

The patients in the room were bandaged. Some of them were wearing casts, too!

Cyril, whose leg was shot, was hopping in their direction while supporting himself with a crutch. It

seemed like he wanted to head to the restroom.

He greeted the couple politely upon noticing them at the door, “Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller.”

“Your leg…” Olivia’s voice was hoarse.

He let out a bitter smile. “I’m fine.”

At least he was alive; some of them couldn’t make it.

“Rest up.” Ethan carried Olivia to another patient room to visit everyone. Their last stop was the ICU.

She could see Owen through the glass. There were a lot of tubes inserted in him.

“It’s been three days, but his life is still in critical condition. He might not be able to survive tonight.

“Even if he regains consciousness, it will take him a lot of time to recover. He won’t be able to recover

to how he was before.”

Ethan sighed in her ear. “Liv, do you know why I saved you? 28 is the total number of casualties from

this mission of protecting you.

“Eight of them are severely injured, 19 are lightly injured, and there’s one death.”

As soon as the final remark hit her, Olivia bit her lip to fight back her tears. “Where is she?”

“At the mortuary. The first two bullets weren’t fatal. She could’ve survived, but the last shot was a

headshot.”

The scene of Mona saving her conjured in her head.

It was as though Olivia could still see the smile on Mona’s face. It was as warm as the blood splattered

across Olivia’s face.

“Calm down, Liv. There are a lot of things we have to do. You can’t die.

“You have to live. Only then you’ll be able to catch the mastermind.” He held her shoulders with red

eyes.

The last three days were an agony, and he had experienced the pain of losing his children in the

meantime.

“I won’t let them off the hook that easily. You must stay alive to watch how I seek revenge, making them

pay the price with their lives.”

Olivia’s mind was a mess. Her head was buzzing as she couldn’t hear anything.

Ultimately, she slowly said, “Could you bring me to her?”

“You’re not in the state to go there, Liv. Don’t forget the fact that you barely survived death not long

ago.”

Hanging her head low, she grabbed his collar like a convict.

“Please Take me to her…” Her voice was so soft.

Her tears fell onto the cold floor, spattering into tiny droplets.

Her nose was clogged as she said, “1-I just wanna see her for the last time. Just one last time…”

It pained him to watch her in such a sorrowful state, giving him no reason to reject her request. He

replied hoarsely, “Okay.”
