Even After Death Chapter 316
That night, Olivia lay in Ethan's arms. There was a storm outside, and the hull swayed from time to time. For some reason, Olivia slept soundly.Before this, she couldn't sleep for the longest time. Even if she did fall asleep, her sleep was restless. Even in her dreams, she was scared that she would be kidnapped again.If it happened again, she would've died for sure.In her dreams, Olivia kept mumbling, "Who exactly are you? Why are you trying to kill me?""Ah!"Ethan held her tightly. In a tender voice, he spoke comfortingly in her ear. "Don't be afraid, Liv. I'm here."Slowly, Olivia's emotions were soothed. But Ethan didn't feel like sleeping at all.Under the dim lights, he gazed at the contours of Olivia's thin face. He touched her slender hands.He couldn't help but recall what Olivia looked like in the past. She used to be such a cheerful woman.When she got married to him, there was still some baby fat on her face. She looked a little childish and innocent back

It was probably because of the gentle sea breeze or the warm sunset.Or perhaps it was because Olivia was a lonely person who had been staying in the snow fields for too long. If anyone treated her just a little nicely, she would lower her guard.She wasn't sure why, but she followed Ethan onto the island. Snowball was being nice. When it saw her leaving, it went after her as well.The island was beautiful. It wasn't big, but it was well-equipped.There were many flowers on the island. Different flowers would bloom here all year round.For example, the path she was walking on right now was flanked by blooming cherry trees.Without the intervention of janitors, the flowers were free to grow and fall. The path was already covered in petals.As a light breeze picked up, the petals swirled and danced in the air.Snowball seemed to be fond of this place. It kept rolling around in the petals.The beautiful sea was right beside them. The seawater was clear and spotless. Even the

Olivia noticed that Kelvin and Brent weren't there. There were several servants and chefs on the island, though. Soon, a seafood feast was prepared for her.Without saying a word, she lowered her head and drank some soup.Ethan felt uncomfortable with the eerie silence. Hence, he started a conversation. "Liv, you used to talk a lot in the past."Olivia froze for a moment. He was right. She was quite talkative in the past.Back then, Ethan was busy every day. He would either be on business trips or at work. He rarely had time for her.Olivia cherished every second she could spend with him. So, she was the most talkative during mealtimes, which were supposed to be quiet. She could chatter on and on. She choked on her food a few times and got into a coughing fit. Still, she just drank some water and continued. Her face was filled with lively smiles.But now, there were no smiles on her face. There wasn't even much emotion.Putting her spoon down, Olivia wiped her mouth and re

A few months ago, Ethan started feeling uneasy for some reason. He feared that Olivia's sudden weight loss was due to an illness.Because of that, he gave her a full-body checkup. However, the results indicated that she didn't have any serious illnesses.Seeing that she was taking pills, Ethan couldn't help but feel anxious. By then, Olivia had already swallowed the pill.She took a huge gulp of warm water. Then, she wiped her slightly wet mouth with a tissue. It was only then that she pulled her hand out of his grasp."It's stomach medicine.""Right," Ethan thought, "She has stomach problems. She already mentioned it last time."Frowning, he said, "I'll call a doctor here tomorrow.""I've already had a checkup, and you've seen the results, right? I'm perfectly fine!"When Olivia said that, a sneer flashed across her face. She remembered the look on Ethan's face when she had a checkup that day.Before then, she had told him a few times that she was ill. But Ethan simply m

Ethan's expression looked extra serious under the glow of the fireflies.Licking her dry lips, Olivia asked softly, "Ethan, is Marina someone you fancied on a whim? Or is she your one true love?"Ethan chuckled in exasperation. "If she's my one true love, why would I marry you? Liv, do you not know how I feel about you?"He had hurt her, but he had also treated her well. If not, she wouldn't have hesitated to let go of him."So you fancied her on a whim just to provoke me?"It had been two years. Their marriage was already over, but she still wanted an explanation.Ethan embraced her. Olivia could hear him sighing next to her ear."Liv, I'll tell you everything between me and Marina, but not now. Can you trust me one last time?"As if fearing rejection, Ethan added, "Don't believe what the others said about Marina being my true love. To me, she's just a younger sister who grew up in my social circle. But …"He suddenly looked up. He locked eyes with Olivia, saying, "I do have

Glancing at Olivia's expression, Ethan continued, "Do you know about your mother's illness?""Yes, but I don't intend on donating my bone marrow to her.""Wise choice. Personally, I also don't want you to get involved with her anymore. "For the past few days, the Carltons put in a lot of effort into finding the perfect bone marrow, but they failed to do so. You're the only one they haven't tested."Olivia asked, "So you think the Carltons won't let me go?""They definitely won't. I know Chris' personality too well. You might be upset to hear this, but he truly loves your mother. He will stop at nothing if it means saving your mother."Ethan placed his hands on Olivia's shoulders while speaking earnestly. "Liv, there may be a lot of misunderstandings between us. I've hurt you before, but I sincerely want to protect you now."I'll send more men to look for your father. Just stay here and rest for a while, okay? I'll come back for you when I've settled everything."The sounds of

Chris reached out for Olivia just as Ethan had expected.Back when Olivia was about to die, the majority of the Carltons chose to let Marina live instead of her. Chris was the only one who didn't make a decision.Hence, Olivia didn't hang up. She said in a distanced and polite way, "Yes, it's me.""I knew it! You're still alive!"Chris sounded very excited. Fortunately, Olivia had asked someone to deliver the teddy phone watch. It was how they figured out that she was still alive.Chris only dialed her number to see if it would work. He didn't expect the call to go through."Mr. Carlton, I'm alive, but it doesn't mean that I will donate the bone marrow to your wife."Before he could speak, Olivia declined his reason for calling."Olivia, I want to talk with you.""I'm afraid that's not possible."Olivia lay on the reclining chair. She held a coconut in her hands, enjoying the comforting sea breeze. It felt like a warm hand caressing her cheek.She thought that even the sea b

Chris spoke animatedly, and he was wholly sincere about it. He didn't fake anything, and he even spoke as if he were there in person.But in the end, when Olivia provided him with such a response, he didn't know how to react.He still had many things to say, but now, they were stuck in his throat."Olivia, I'm saying all this sincerely. I'm not faking anything.""I know. That's why I didn't hang up."Chris was probably the only person with integrity in the Carlton family. Olivia didn't mock him. Instead, she politely listened to everything he had to say."Olivia, I forgot to tell you this. Donating bone marrow won't affect a healthy person. They will recover in about 10 days."It's not the same as donating kidneys, which can bring irreversible harm."Olivia replied, "Mr. Carlton, I learned medicine before. I understand everything you talked about.""Then …""I don't want to donate it."Chris sighed. "You won't be doing it for free. Just name your price. I can pay you no matt
