Chapter 543
Even After Death
Negative emotions were piling on Olivia. Ethan knew that she was too weak for an emotional
rollercoaster right now.
But he was more worried that something might happen from her bottling her emotions.
Thus, heâd rather she let it all out.
Olivia cried for a long time until her voice turned hoarse, and there were no more tears to cry.
Her eyes were empty, and her legs were numb from the kneeling.
She sobbed in Ethanâs arms, and he didnât utter a word. He kept patting her back gently.
Only when he noticed that she had slowly collected herself did he help her get up.
Forming strength from anguish, she figured he was right-she should live.
If she died, everything would go according to the mastermindâs plan. She should live to pass on the
grief of staying alive to that mastermind.
Olivia wiped the last tear off. When she looked at Monaâs body, her gaze turned more determined than
before.
She yanked the white sheet downward a little to reveal Monaâs hand.
The bracelet Mona treasured was still wearing around her wrist.
Olivia bet Mona wouldnât have thought the bracelet would cost her life when she brought it home that
day.
Olivia said, âAsk a technician to dismantle this bracelet. See if we can find anything from it.â
âOkay.â
She continued softly, âI wonât let you die in vain, Mona. I, Olivia Fordham, swear to God that I will make
Warren pay the price with his life as long as Iâm alive. Donât worry. I will look after your family. I wonât let
anyone hurt them.â
Ethan asked, âAre you going to tell the family about this?â
âSecrets canât be kept forever. I donât want Mona to be alone.â
They could keep it a secret for days or months, but not years.
Considering how much Mona loved her family, they would be worried now that she had gone missing
for two months.
Prolonged pain was not as good as short pain.
If Olivia told her family about it, they would be able to send Mona off for the last time at least.
It would be better than having regrets to find out about it later and not being able to see her for the one
last time.
âIâll make the arrangements.â
Ethan held Oliviaâs hand, wanting to leave. But she didnât budge an inch.
Standing at the same spot, she gazed into Ethanâs eyes.
Their eyes were red. She wanted to say something, but she didnât as grief clouded her eyes.
He knew her well enough to know what she was going to say.
âThe babiesâ¦â His voice was throaty.
She raised her head to look at him. âWhere are they?â
She had to face the cruel reality no matter what.
âI personally brought some men to search the mountain, but we couldnât find their bodies. Perhaps
someone else had taken them away, or they were thrown into the sea.â
âW-What!â
âIt was a chaotic night. Those assassins mightâve thrown them into the sea to make sure to get rid of it.
âI asked the team to retrieve their bodies, but we couldnât find anything.â
Her already pale face appeared more haggard.
Putting her hands on her chest, she wanted to say something only to be unable to speak.
Her whole body was shaking. Ethan didnât know if it was due to sorrow or anger.
âCalm down, Liv. The babies were born prematurely.
âTheyâre twins, too. Even If they were alive, they might not have been able to survive.
âYour health matters the most. Focus on your recovery. We can have kids in the future.â Olivia, who
didnât say anything, fainted into Ethanâs arms again.
