Chapter 87

Ethan had been expecting Brent to send some clothes over for him, so he walked straight out of the

bathroom. He turned to look at the open door, only to find Keith standing there.

Raising an eyebrow in question, he said to Olivia, “It seems like we have company.”

Olivia was still in her pajamas, whereas Ethan was wrapped in only a towel. No matter how one looked

at it, they looked just like a couple who’d been married for years.

Keith was neither blind nor stupid; he set the goods down and left, dispirited.

Olivia didn’t care to explain, which only convinced Keith that he’d guessed her situation correctly.

Nevertheless, this was for

the best.

Ethan tossed a glance at the goods on the ground. “Am I not generous enough to you?” Ten billion

dollars for their divorce was considered sky–high already.

Olivia answered, “I’ll give these to the old guy who collects the trash in our area.”

Ethan grunted. “Does he come here often?”

“He visited once when I had a fever.”

“There won’t be a next time.” Ethan’s harsh voice matched his stern message.

Stunned, it took Olivia a moment before she replied, “Okay.”

When Ethan finished packing his things and got ready to leave, she couldn’t hold back and asked,

“About Leo…”

Η

“I’ll contact you when I get an answer,” he said, closing the door behind me. It was pretty easy for him

to search for someone. Her father could be saved. Olivia slumped on the couch and let her head fall

back against the headrest. Closing her eyes, she heaved a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, Keith received a call from his parents.

His father, Frank Rogers, told him that he could have the opportunity to further his studies abroad. He

could then take over the position of head of the hospital after that.

“Sorry, Dad, but I’m not thinking of going overseas for now.”

“It’s a golden opportunity. I tried so hard to get you into this. There are only three spots for it in the

entire country,” Frank

answered.

Keith smiled mockingly in response, saying, “This chance should go to Ethan then.”

“I don’t know what happened between you and him, but he was even willing to set aside his status to

inform me about this. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about your

siblings.”

Keith had always been compliant with his parents, but this time, he fell silent.

Noticing that his son was upset, Frank sighed helplessly.

“You’ve heard of Oakland Hospital, right? Ethan Miller offered to cooperate with us on that project, the

one everyone’s been talking about in Aldenvine. I’m sure you know what that means.”

“I know,” Keith said curtly.

Failing to get a proper response from his son, Frank finally asked, “What’s making you stay?”

Keith stood up from his seat, arms behind his back, as he looked out the window at the hall bustling

with nurses and patients.

He let out a sigh and explained, “I want to send someone off one last time.”

Frank was at a loss for words at this point. Keith had always been a good child to him, and, as a good

father, he didn’t want to poke his nose into his son’s private life.

However, he couldn’t afford to offend the Miller family. On top of that, Ethan was someone he respected

as well.

Keith recalled what he’d seen this morning and remembered how Ethan had been so possessive of

Olivia during the banquet that night. Even after their divorce, Ethan still wasn’t willing to let her off the

hook so easily.

Besides, Keith knew that if he got closer to Olivia, it would cause trouble for her. With this in mind, he

closed his eyes and eventually said, “Dad, I’ll accept the offer to study overseas. I won’t let you

down.”

“Good. I’ll make the necessary arrangements for you.”

Olivia had finally gotten over the worst of days, and her life was starting to take some semblance of

normality again.

Early the next morning, she went to visit her father at the hospital. When she reached, she saw the

nurse wiping Jeff’s face with a handkerchief.

She quickly took the cloth from the nurse, saying, “Allow me.”

The nurse didn’t object and handed it over to Olivia. Then, Olivia noticed two bouquets of gladioli on

the table beside the bed. ” Did someone come to visit?” She asked.

“Yes. Dr. Rogers was here. I was cleaning up the room when I heard him talking to Mr. Fordham’s

attending physician. He’s going abroad for further studies, so we won’t get to see him here for quite

some time.”

Olivia froze in the middle of wringing the handkerchief dry. She understood the real reason he was

leaving. “I see.”

The nurse didn’t notice the change in Olivia’s expression and merely told her, “Dr. Rogers is a good

person.”

“I know.”

“If you’re thinking of starting a family, I think he’s a pretty
