Chapter 575
Even After Death
Ethan quickly walked out the door and whispered, âHello?â
âMr. Miller, is Mrs. Miller awake yet? How is she feeling?â Chris asked.
Olivia had been knocked out for three days since she was injected with the drug. Chris figured she had
to have woken up.
Ethan roughly described Oliviaâs condition to Chris, who sighed in relief.
âThatâs great. I was afraid thatâ¦â
Chris had been feeling anxious for the past few days. He remembered the time when Olivia had a high
fever a year ago.
The amount of red blood cells and white blood cells she had was unbelievably low.
That was usually caused by chemotherapy. But there werenât any issues on Oliviaâs medical
examination report, so Chris didnât bring it up.
The drug Ethan injected into Olivia was unique. It would have adverse effects when injected into people
with weaker immune systems, like kids, pregnant women, and the elderly.
Other than that, it would also be detrimental to the health of cancer patients.
Chris would sometimes think about how pale and sickly Olivia looked a year ago.
âWhat are you afraid of?â
âI just thought Mrs. Millerâs health hasnât been too good. I was afraid that her body would reject the
drug. Iâm happy to hear that everything is fine.â
After some thought, he added, âYou should keep a close eye on Mrs. Millerâs condition during this time.
Contact me immediately if something goes wrong.â
âOkay.â
Olivia noticed the caller ID on Ethanâs phone.
It was Chris Atkins. She wondered why Ethan would want to take the call away from her even though it
was a man.
Then, she figured the villa wasnât cheap based on the decor and size.
It was clear that Ethan was well-off. Perhaps he was talking to the upper management of his company
or an important client. It was understandable.
Olivia didnât know Ethanâs identity yet. Although she had questions, she was sure she could get the
answers she sought eventually.
She stopped overthinking and started to take a look around the house. She noticed that the houseâs
decor and every little ornament were based on her preferences.
Madam Burgess had just finished doing the dishes and was holding a cucumber. She chewed on it and
said, âOf course, all these things were picked out by you, Mrs. Miller.
âYouâve given everything in this house some thought, even the slippers. Thatâs probably why you found
the place familiar despite your memory loss.â
âWas I ever close with him?â
Madam Burgess took another bite of the cucumber and said, âThatâs for sure. You two got married
because you were so in love.
âBut I was working in the Miller Residence then. I did hear that you learned how to cook for Mr. Millerâs
sake and that you cooked for him every day.
âSometimes, Mr. Miller would cook for you, too. You used to love the apple cider that Mr. Miller made.â
Madam Burgess had a happy expression as she said, âBack then, Madam Eugenia was still alive. She
would call you over during
autumn.
âThere was a tall chestnut tree in the yard, which you would climb up and shake the branches of while
Madam Eugenia would collect the chestnuts that fell.
âAnd Mr. Miller would be cooking in the kitchen. Those were the days.â
From Madam Burgessâ story, Olivia could tell that she and Ethan used to be a loving couple who were
made for each other.
When she glanced at the pink roses on the table, an image of a woman sighing deeply at some
withered flowers flashed in her
mind.
She unconsciously picked up the roses but was brought back to her senses by the sharp pain from her
finger.
Olivia looked down at her bleeding finger and felt like it was surreal.
âMrs. Miller, youâve hurt yourself? Itâs my fault for not removing the thorns. Iâll get you a band-aid.â
Ethan reacted faster. He had already taken Oliviaâs hand, put the bleeding finger into his mouth, and
stopped the bleeding.
He spat the blood out into a trashcan and applied a cute-looking band-aid on her finger.
âYou have to be more careful next time,â Ethan said.
Olivia was stunned. She nodded, then raised her head to meet his loving eyes.
