Chapter 730
Even After Death
When they were halfway through, Olivia tried to break free while Ethan wasnât paying attention.
But the effects of the medicine made her dizzy and nauseous. She felt like the strength in her body had
been sapped away.
Ethan quickly helped her back into the bed. âStop moving around, Liv.â
Olivia didnât have the strength to move even if she wanted to. As soon as she tried, her head would spin.
She could only close her eyes to ease the discomfort.
Chemotherapy took much longer compared to the usual intravenous injections. It wasnât until nightfall
that the last bag was approaching its end.
Ethan was with her the whole time. He was also uneasy. He was afraid that she would collapse before
the medicine was fully administered.
But although she was weak, Olivia had pulled through.
She didnât dare to move in the slightest as she felt the familiar sensation. She couldnât even open her
eyes because she was so dizzy.
Ethan asked Keith, âDid the same thing happen when she went through chemotherapy for the first time?â
Keith replied, âYeah. She is one of the stronger ones. A lot of patients didnât even last until the
chemotherapy was over. At least she pulled through. The side effects are the most severe during the first
three days. They will start to get better after three days.
âA cycle lasts 21 days. The next treatment will have to be scheduled at least 21 days later. Of course, the
decision to proceed depends on the effectiveness of this treatment and her overall physical condition.â
Ethan was guilt-ridden as he looked at Olivia. She was lying in bed and was trying her best to remain
still.
Keith explained, âThe side effects are less serious today. Sheâll start to feel worse tomorrow. Remember
to get her to drink more water for detoxification. Also, sheâll need to have a diet that replenishes protein.
After the chemotherapy, various indicators in her body, such as white blood cells and red blood cells, will
rapidly decrease.
âAt this time, she may feel nauseous and reluctant to eat. You must persuade her to eat and keep a close
eye on all indicators. Take immediate action if any of them fall below normal values.â
Ethan listened carefully and took Keithâs words to heart.
After Keith finished talking, Ethan suddenly said, âThanks. And ⦠sorry for what happened before.â
Keith was stunned. âItâs such a rare occasion, hearing you say those words. Iâve put it all behind me. I
have to thank you, actually. I wouldnât have met the woman I love otherwise.
âMy relationship with Olivia is purely platonic now. Sheâs had a hard life, so I felt the urge to take care of
her. Besides, I learned a lot in the two years I was abroad. In the end, it wasnât really a bad experience.â
Ethan said, âLivâs emotionally unstable now. Please provide her with more encouragement and support.â
Keith shook his head in resignation. âMr. Miller, youâre the only person that can change her mind. Youâre
the source of her trauma, after all. Let her sleep while she can. In the next three days, she wonât be able
to sleep even if she wanted to.
âBut luckily, the toxins from the chemotherapy two years ago are already out of her system. The side
effects of chemotherapy will get worse after every session. Every inch of her body will hurt when it comes
to the fifth or sixth session.
âThe pain is almost unbearable. But it would be a good sign if Olivia could last until then. Her condition is
so bad now, I fear that â¦â Keith trailed off.
âThe day you fear will never come.â Ethan quickly cut him off.
Keith read the room and stopped talking. âIâll be going. Call me if anything happens.â
Ethan then went back to the room.
Olivia was already asleep. She was visibly weakened, but she was still able to fall asleep that night.
The next morning, when she tried to get up and go to the toilet, Olivia felt light-headed and weak. Then,
she fell over abruptly.
âLiv!â
