Even After Death Chapter 196
Olivia had known that the marriage between Ethan and Marina was set in stone. But knowing and seeing were two entirely different things. She stared at Ethan, who walked out of the bedroom. Their eyes met. A hint of surprise appeared in Ethan's eyes. He opened his mouth like he wanted to explain something. But nothing came out in the end. Chloe said, "Ethan, did you sleep well last night? If you're not used to the bed, I can get someone to make custom bedding for you two. "After all, you'll be sleeping here regularly after you get married. Treat this like your own home. You can let me know if you need anything." Marina also started to play her part as a loving daughter. She said with a smile, "Thanks for being so considerate, mom. It was true that we didn't sleep well last night." A trace of shyness flickered across her face. It was clear that she was implying something else. Olivia finally understood why she was invited over. It wasn't that Chloe missed her. She i

Chloe answered without hesitation, "Am I wrong? I've heard that you're still living together. Liv, do you understand the concept of a divorce?"You're still young, so stop this now. If not, you'll bring trouble to yourself."You'll also cause Ethan and Marina to be mocked. There should only be two people in a healthy relationship."Olivia was no longer able to tell if the pain came from her heart or her stomach. She felt like ants were gnawing at her, causing her pain all over. Olivia held in her sadness. She had so much she wanted to say, but instead, she smiled and said, "So that's how I am in your eyes." "Mother, don't yell at Olivia. She's still young, so it's natural for her to make mistakes. "We should tolerate each others' mistakes since we're a family. I'm okay with it." At this moment, Marina's display of generosity was a sharp contrast to Olivia's pettiness.Chloe said with a righteous tone, "Don't worry, Marina. I gave birth to Liv. I will give you a satisfactor

But what happened was Chloe went out in the morning. She went for a beauty treatment, had afternoon tea, and attended a music concert. Victor called her. She replied coldly, "Why are you telling me? I am not a doctor! Get her a doctor if she's sick."Olivia was in a daze from the fever. She kept calling for cake in her dreams.She kept calling out for the cake until the fever subsided. She looked at the snow falling outside. Victor brought her a teddy bear cake. She smiled happily. "Mom must've made this right?""Yup."She found out later that the cake was made by the chef. Her mother did not take care of her. She didn't even ask about her. Time passed. Olivia watched as the faces of her mother in the past and present overlapped. Truthfully, her mother wore a cold expression and was harsh to her. Olivia heard from her classmates that most parents liked children with good grades. So, she worked hard to improve her grades just to see her mother smile. She was more hardw

Olivia closed her eyes. She could see herself chasing after Chloe throughout the years. She never did understand why her mother was always unhappy. She always thought that her mother might be happier if she was more obedient. Even after Chloe had left for years, Olivia would find excuses for her whenever she missed her. She thought that Chloe only left because she didn't love Jeff. She thought that Chloe must have her reasons for leaving her daughter behind. When she hadn't reunited with Chloe, her image of her stayed as a gentle and kind woman. She thought that Chloe would miss her as much as she missed her. Now, it would seem like their emotions were not on the same wavelength. Olivia took a deep breath. She swallowed the bloody taste in her throat once again. When she opened her eyes, they were clear. Olivia said slowly, "Ms. Parker, Mrs. Carlton. I hereby sever all ties with you. Just pretend like you never had a daughter. I'll pretend I never had a mother." C

Ethan stood at the door. His eyebrows were furrowed. He thought she should be fine. He had only gotten her to do a full body medical examination recently. But the amount of blood that flowed from her nose clearly exceeded that of a normal nosebleed. It was gushing out. The sight of it was alarming. Chloe came back to her senses at the sight of Ethan's worried expression.She said, "You don't have to worry. She has always loved pretending to be sick."Marina added, "Mother, I didn't know she was so manipulative that she would use such a method to get attention." "That's right. She has been a cunning one since she was young. "Her father doted on her too much. That's why she's become such a spoiled brat now." Chloe then looked at Ethan and said, "Ethan, don't be fooled by her. She has always been in good health. "It's impossible for her to bleed so much from a slap. I didn't even touch her nose." Chris said, "Alright, stop talking. How can a nosebleed be faked?" "Wha

Ethan had no choice when everyone was looking at him. He looked at Olivia and said, "I have no plans of canceling my engagement with Marina." Marina swallowed nervously. She quickly looked at Ethan and asked, "Ethan, does that mean that … you pick me?" Ethan nodded. It was like a huge stone had been lifted off Marina's chest. She ran to Ethan excitedly and wrapped her hands around his arm. "I knew you loved me, Ethan! Dad, Grandpa, did you hear that?" The anger on Otto's face subsided. "You better mean what you say.""I'll be counting on you to take care of my daughter from now on." Chris patted Ethan on the shoulder. Olivia had expected this outcome. But even if she had known, she still felt a freezing chill in her heart when she heard it. She pulled her hand away from Ethan and said, "I respect your decision, Ethan." Ethan watched as she left. He had no choice since Otto was there. Chloe thought about it for a while. Then, she went after Olivia. Olivia straighten

Olivia thought she was a goner. She had begun to recover after the chemotherapy, even if it left her body weak at first. Maybe it was because she was in a better mood when she was on the island. She felt like she was slowly getting better and had not vomited blood in a while. She didn't know if it was because she got emotional. But she had never vomited so much blood before. It was like red was all she saw. She fainted despite her best efforts to stay conscious. When she opened her eyes again, she immediately smelled disinfectant. She noticed the walls around her were white. Her stomach seemed to be better. It didn't hurt as much. "Olivia, you're awake! Are you feeling better?" A familiar male voice came from beside her. She looked toward the voice. It was Colin whom she met on the cruise ship. His eyes were filled with concern. Olivia had just regained consciousness. She said weakly, "Did you save me?" "That's right. I saw you on the side of the road as I was headi

The first thought Olivia had when she saw Chloe was that they were fated to meet each other. But only as strangers. As she turned to leave, Chloe caught up to her and said, "Just give me a moment, Liv. I have something I need to tell you."Olivia didn't stop. In fact, she sped up. Chloe ran after her.Then, Olivia only stopped when she heard a nurse say anxiously, "Mrs. Carlton, slow down. Your heart can't take much more of this!" Olivia stopped in her tracks when she heard that. Chloe finally managed to grab her hand. She said while panting, "Please, just give me a moment, Liv."Chloe looked pale and weak without makeup on. Even her lips were slightly bluish. "Mrs. Carlton, I thought there was nothing left to say between us?" "Five minutes, Liv, give me five minutes. Please," Chloe begged.The nurse standing next to them said, "Mrs. Carlton has a heart condition, miss. Please do not agitate her anymore." Olivia was put on the spot. She couldn't walk away now. "Alrigh

Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies. Her heart ached as she began crying. "It's finally over, Mona. Please rest in peace."She had been waiting for this day to come for too long.

"Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her.

Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone. She expected to encounter some inspection robots upon arrival, but there weren't any.Ships were docking in lines by the seashore, and most of them belonged to private foreigner organizations and mercenaries. People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless. No matter what field it was, no one would come before an outstanding scientist like him. It would be a huge loss to lose him.Olivia grew worried. "Calm down, Liv.

Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried.

He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble.

Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore.

Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown

Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
