Even After Death Chapter 320
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

Olivia plumped up rather quickly. She looked much better now.Even her stomach hadn't hurt for days.Time seemed to have paused on this island.There were many servants on the island. There were also more than ten chefs who made meals for her every day.There were 20 gardeners and several dozen servants who did odd jobs and housekeeping. Heck, there was even a doctor here.Many of them were old servants from the old and new Miller residences.Ethan could pamper her very well if he wanted to. To ease her loneliness, the old servants took care of her as if she were their own family.In reality, she wasn't bored on the island at all. Chickens, ducks, and geese were reared here. Olivia had also been busying herself with helping rabbits give birth. She would also collect eggs from the coop and shear the young lambs.She had once decided to roast one of the lambs. But then, the lamb kept bleating and following her. Hence, Olivia gave up her desire to eat a whole roasted lamb.Ever

Back then, Chloe thought that Olivia was just rambling nonsense. But it turned out that Olivia had enrolled in a medical school for real.Chloe didn't think much about it. She only thought that it was just some child's ranting.It was like how children talked about becoming teachers, astronauts, and firefighters.Now, when Chloe recalled Olivia's earnest little face, her heart ached as if it had been pierced.Lying on the bed, Chloe couldn't help but recall the many memories she had tossed away.She had this child by accident. From her pregnancy until childbirth, she never had any expectations of this child.Olivia didn't look like her or Jeff. So, Chloe felt even more distant from her.After Chloe had given birth, Jeff feared that it would disturb her rest, so he sent Olivia to a childcare center.Olivia had never drunk a drop of Chloe's breast milk. She was raised on baby formula.Fortunately, Olivia had been a healthy child. She rarely got sick when she was young.But Chlo

After kicking Chloe a few times, Marina still wasn't satisfied. So, she started hurling insults at Chloe. She was venting all the dissatisfaction she felt toward Chloe and Olivia.Chloe's face turned paler. Beads of sweat also appeared on her forehead. She didn't have the energy to argue anymore, so she could only hang her head.Marina kicked at Chloe with her toes. "Hey, quit pretending you're dead …"Just then, the door opened. Chris had gone home to wash up and change his clothes, then rushed back as soon as he could. He happened to witness the scene."What are you doing?" Chris roared like a furious lion.Marina was stunned at the spot. She said, "Dad, she fell on purpose! She just wants you to feel bad for her! Don't be tricked by her! She's—"Before she could finish speaking, Chris had helped Chloe up. When Chloe raised her head, blood streamed out of her nose.In an instant, her clothes were soaked with blood.Marina was startled as well. She thought that Chloe was playi

Marina wanted to rant very badly, but she was forced to hold her tongue. She had no idea since when Ethan refused to even utter a word to her."Ethan, didn't you see my face?"It was only then that Ethan looked up. He saw her red cheeks sporting clear handprints."Who hit you?""My dad.""Then I can't do anything about it." Upon returning to his seat, Ethan flipped open a folder.He couldn't possibly ask Chris to take responsibility, after all.His connections to the Carltons aside, Ethan respected Chris as a person.Seeing his nonchalance, Marina hastily ran toward him. "If Olivia got hurt, would you be this cold to her too?"Ethan wanted to say that Marina wasn't worthy enough to be compared to Olivia. But when he thought about the deceased Kurt, he chose not to say it.He simply said, "I'll ask Kelvin to send you to the hospital.""I am your fiancée!"Marina was upset with Ethan's half-hearted attitude. In the past, he was never intimate with her, but at least he was gen
