Chapter 912
Even After Death
Olivia was puzzled. âExplain that, please. I donât get it.â
âLetâs put it this way. Kurt had been training with me since young, and because he looked similar to me,
he was one of my body doubles.
âWe braved dangers together, but he sadly fell in love with Marina.
âHe got Marina pregnant. And then, when we were out on a mission, he suffered a lethal attack in my
stead.
âBefore he died, he was worried about Marina, so he asked me to take good care of her and the
children.
âWith gratitude toward Kurt, I agreed to all of Marinaâs requests. Back then, I mistook the Fordhamnsâ
relationship with my sister.
âWith the two incidents overlapping, I got revenge on the Fordhams while I took care of the pregnant
Marina. That was why you thought I cheated on you.
âI didnât explain anything when you questioned me.
âMarina didnât want the children in her belly to grow up in a single-parent family, so she pleaded with
me to give her a home.â
Olivia felt bitter in her heart. âSo you gave it to her?â
âShe used Kurtâs life in exchange for those requests. I couldnât say no, so I could only divorce you. But
later on, I realized that her demands only increased.
âThe hospital, the dress, and Collington Cove⦠She wanted everything I prepared for you.â
Olivia recalled those times. Her heart ached even more.
âSo you knew that she pushed me into the sea back then?â
âI knew your personalities from the start. So, of course, I could guess what she had done. Back then,
both of you fell into the sea at the same time.
I wanted to save you at first, but then I remembered Kurtâs dying face and his request. Back then,
Kelvin
2nd Brent had jumped into the sea, too. So, I swam toward her.â
vias eyes were wet. Holding back the tears, she asked. âThen whatâs the deal with the child
âYou couldnât get anesthesia, so you were screaming in agony in the delivery room. Did you think my
heart wouldnât ache when I heard that?
âI was outside the delivery room the whole time.
âLater on, you fainted because you lost too much blood, so I switched the children.â
Tears streamed down Oliviaâs face. âWhy? Why would you give her my child? Why would you take him
away from me?â
If Ethan wasnât lying down right now, she would grab his collar and give him a few solid slaps.
âThere were a few reasons I did it. Firstly, the two children were very important to Marina.
âIf something happened to the children and caused her to get hurt, too, I would be letting Kurt down.
âSecondly, it had something to do with Mr. Carlton Senior. Even though the Carltons had slowly left the
scene, Mr. Carlton Senior still had some power in his hands.
âIt was related to my election. If he thought that the child was mine, he would do his best.
âLastly, I was almost delirious back then. I felt that since my sister lost her child, I wanted you to suffer
the same pain.
âAffected by various reasons, I made that choice.â
This time, Olivia didnât hold back. She slapped Ethan across the face.
âYou jerk, how could you do this to me? Do you know how long I was in anguish because of that child?
âWhen I was at my worst, I even wanted to hurt the child!â
It was no wonder that Olivia liked Connor at first sight. And no matter what Marina did, she couldnât get
Connor to call her âMomâ.
Olivia couldnât hold in her complex emotions anymore. She sobbed with all her might.
Her child didnât die! All three of her children were still alive!
