Chapter 829
Even After Death
Taking advantage of his height, Ethan covered the switch with his hand and blocked Oliviaâs actions.
He didnât want her to see his embarrassing appearance right now.
âDonât worry, Ms. Fordham. Iâm fine, I swear. You should go and keep Ms. Alicia company.â
The more he tried to hide something, the more Olivia was worried about him.
She was sure that this man had gotten hurt, but he hid it on purpose so that she wouldnât worry about
him.
The man had stopped her from turning on the lights and in her panic, Olivia reached out to touch his
body.
Ethan, who was at the breaking point of his endurance, almost lost control.
He said in a suppressed tone, âDonât touch me.â
Then tell me what exactly happened to you.â
âIâm fineâ
But Olivia refused to believe it.
His body was drenched in sweat, so he must have suffered a serious injury. If not, he wouldnât have
sweated so much from the pain.
But where was his wound?
Olivia kept groping around.
Unable to endure it anymore, Ethan suddenly reacted, pinning her onto the single bed at the side.
Their bodies fell onto the bed together.
Olivia subconsciously wondered if he was losing his balance because of the extreme blood loss. She
didnât even suspect anything in that aspect.
âLogan, where are you hurt? Just tell me.â Her anxious voice rang out behind Ethanâs ears. He felt her
breath tickling him a little.
Ethan lay there, not moving as he took in large gulps of air. âPlease stop asking, Ms. Fordham. Iâ¦â He
was trying so hard to hold it in that his voice began to tremble.
Olivia was a nervous wreck. âYou canât leave it like that. Iâll get a doctor for you. I wonât let anything
happen to you.â
Ethanâs seductive voice rang out, âDo you sincerely want to help me?â
âOf course. Youâve helped me for so long. If youâre in danger, Iâll help you too.â
In the beginning, Olivia distanced herself on purpose and didnât dare to approach anyone. But now,
after spending so much time together, Olivia had to admit that she had already acknowledged him as
her friend
âAlright. Ethan gulped.
Olivia was still waiting for him to tell her what had happened, but in the next moment, Logan suddenly
wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Their bodies were instantly pushed against each otherâs. Olivia didnât even have a chance to react.
The first sensation she felt was the manâs hard and hot body. In the next second, she noticed
something off near his thigh area.
She was a woman who had given birth to a few children before. So she knew very well what that was.
But she had only ever touched Ethan before. She had never even held the hand of another man, much
less been in such an intimate position.
Oliviaâs body froze, and she was stunned. She felt as if her mind had just exploded.
Ethan could sense the woman in his arms halting her actions. She was as stiff as a stick.
âYouâ¦â Her voice had begun to tremble as well.
It was no wonder that Logan refused to tell her what happened. How could he possibly mention such a
thing?
Olivia had the urge to slap herself. She shouldnât have been so enthusiastic about it. But she had
already spoken those words.
She wondered how she could clear that up.
She said shakily, âHow did this happen?â
Waves of heat crashed continuously onto Ethanâs body. Still, he gritted his teeth and answered,
âSomeone drugged me.
If even he could be drugged, then this ship truly was riddled with danger.
Olivia stammered, unsure of what to say. She wasnât experienced in helping someone deal with this.
âWould you like to have a cold shower?â she asked.
The hand on her waist was burning. Gritting his teeth, Ethan spoke in her ear. âMs. Fordham, help me
