Chapter 66

Ethan finally took Everly’s word for it. She wouldn’t dare to lie to him.

“Was she sick before this?”

“Yeah, I was going through a breakup with a bastard, so I didn’t pay her much attention. Thank god

Keith was there to cook

for her.”

She had wanted to tell Ethan the truth about Olivia. But she wouldn’t know the consequences of doing

so, given that Olivia couldn’t even put a name to her relationship with Ethan at the moment. She

decided to respect Olivia’s wish.

Ethan thought of Olivia’s pale face and asked, “Why was she sick?”

Her heart skipped a beat as she fought to maintain a neutral expression under his keen gaze. “It was

just the flu.”

“Just the flu?”

“What else could it have been? Liv has always been healthy.”

“That’s true,” Ethan concurred and concluded that Olivia might have sought pity through her show of

weakness to avoid the divorce.

After he received the answers from Everly, he dropped a remark before leaving. “If you’re interested,

you may report to the Miller Property Corp Tower for work tomorrow.”

Her eyes lit up, knowing that the Miller Property Corp Tower was the property business of Miller Group.

It’d be an instant

status boost to work there.

“I can’t thank you enough, Mr. Miller. You’re the best!”

As Ethan walked away, she suddenly thought of something and ran up to him. “Mr. Miller, have you

come across Liv? I can’t reach her on her phone.”

He turned around. “What do you think?”

Everly scratched her head as she realized the pointlessness of her question. Ethan couldn’t have seen

Olivia because he was standing right in front of her. “Oh, please ignore my dumb question. I was

worried for her.”

He ignored her and proceeded to leave. After some thinking, Everly gathered up her courage and said

to him, “Mr. Miller, please be nice to Liv if you still love her. Don’t hurt her anymore. She still cares

about you.”

Although he cheated on Olivia, he seemed to have lingering feelings for her. Everly’s only wish was for

Olivia to live out her final days without regret.

She felt more relieved after confirming that Ethan wasn’t with Olivia. She assumed that Olivia might

have put her phone on silent mode on her way home with Keith.

Little did she know that her friend was imprisoned in a dark bathroom after Ethan turned off the lights

and left.

In the past, Olivia had nothing she feared in particular. However, after she almost drowned, she

developed a trauma. She recalled watching Ethan leaving with Marina as she sank into the darkness.

Her hands were on her belly, fearing that she might lose her baby.

When she regained consciousness, she found herself in an operating theater with a sterile and blinding

light right on top of her. There, she parted with her baby in pain.

Since then, she had been scared of complete darkness and blinding lights.

At that moment, the bathroom was filled with cold water. It wasn’t enough to drown her, but it brought

back memories from the day she fell into the water.

In the bathroom, she continuously pleaded for help, hoping that someone would show up and free her.

Alas, the soundproofing on the 38th floor drowned out her calls. The situation was eerily similar to the

fateful day she
