Chapter 79
Even After Death
Recalling the look in Ethanâs eyes, Olivia answered quickly, âNo.â
âThatâs great, then. Itâs just a viral infection. You may be discharged after a few days of monitoring at
the hospital.â
Chris felt as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He gave her some more advice and left after
she ignored him.
Olivia had already done a biopsy which had confirmed her stomach cancer, but the CT scan results this
time showed nothing. She had only undergone one chemotherapy session. Although it was very
effective and the tumor would shrink, it would not disappear overnight.
Evidently, something was off with the results, and only someone from the inside could have tampered
with it.
The person who did it must have been fearless if they had dared to do it right under Ethanâs nose.
Who could it be? Was it Marina?
Was the incident at the grave not enough that this person had to alter Oliviaâs checkup results?
Although there were no other suspects besides Marina, Olivia still felt that there was something fishy
about the whole incident. If it was not Marina, then the real culprit was very terrifying.
Many things that had happened over these two years may seem like mere coincidences, but it was
strange when Olivia thought about it carefully. It was as if someone was controlling her like a puppet.
By right, Ethan could get to the bottom of it easily, but she was a liar in his eyes now. He would just
think that she was making up stories. Besides, the culprit would be on guard if they investigated openly.
Olivia dared not alarmed Chris, so she had no choice but to investigate the radiologist privately.
Coincidentally, Mercy Hospital was owned by the Atkins family, so Olivia already had a plan.
Although news of the previous nightâs incident had already been hushed, it had reached Calvinâs ears.
Before Olivia could take the initiative, he came to visit her.
Calvin was different from Chris. While Chris had devoted himself to the research and development of
medicine, Calvin had joined the hospital and made it to the rank of director in three years. Calvin could
more or less guess the situation between her and Ethan, but he still smiled dazzlingly.
âOlivia, I really didnât expect to see you again so soon. How are you?â
âMy fever has subsided. Thanks for asking.â
Lying down on the hospital bed, Olivia looked quite pale and sounded weak when she spoke. Noticing
her dry lips, Calvin handed her a glass of warm water and said gently, âHere, drink some water.â
âThank you.â Olivia took the glass and drank a big gulp of water. In her haste to swallow it, she choked
on the water and coughed violently. Calvin put a pillow behind her and patted her back gently.
âDonât rush. Drink slowly.â
âYouâre still the same as ever.â Olivia had lost the hostile air she had when she was with Ethan.
A look of sympathy came into Calvinâs eyes as he asked curiously, âDid you drop out of university back
then for Mr. Miller?â
Olivia smiled helplessly and said, âIt was very foolish of me, wasnât it? I thought I would have a bright
future ahead of me, but when I took the leap of faith, I hit rock bottom instead.â
âAs long as youâre willing to push forward, the opportunities ahead of you are endless,â said Calvin
gently. âYou still have a long way to go.â
His kindness, as always, gave Olivia some courage. She asked, âCalvin, since we were once
classmates, could you do me a favor?
âJust say the word. I will do my best if itâs within my power.â
Olivia looked around to make sure they were alone before telling him the gist of the situation in a low
voice. She had expected Calvinâs initial reaction to be defending the hospitalâs reputation and
repudiating her, but he took her checkup report instead. His gentle expression gave way to a sterner
one.
âDonât worry, Oliva. If anyone from my hospital dares to falsify information, I will punish them
accordingly.â
After Olivia voiced her concerns, Calvin patted her shoulder and said, âIt wonât do the hospital any good
if this incident blows up. I will make sure to deal with this subtly and get back to you with an
explanation.â
