Even After Death Chapter 329
At the hospital, Chloe was out of danger after some emergency medical treatment. But she looked frail and pitiable.Chris held her hand that wasn't hooked to the IV drip and looked at her sorrowfully. Chloe's health had worsened immensely in a short amount of time. "I'm sorry, Chloe. It's my fault Marina turned out like that."He didn't know the whole story, but he was sure Marina had done more horrible things than he imagined. Chloe wouldn't have been so angry otherwise. Chloe smiled weakly. "It's okay, I'm fine. You don't have to blame Marina. She's just a kid.""She's the mother of two children. She's not a child anymore. I'm aware of what kind of person my daughter is. She has always blamed you for what happened to her mother."Chloe grasped Chris' hand. "I can understand how she feels. She lost her mother at such a young age. It's natural for her to hate me. I don't blame her.""Sometimes, I wish you'd at least get angry at her. I'd feel better that way. I'll ask her to s

Chris saw that Ethan didn't respond, so he added, "Donating her bone marrow is different from donating her kidney. No harm will come to her body. I know she's still mad about what happened during the kidnapping. "But they're mother and daughter, after all. She shouldn't hold a grudge against her mother. Let me meet with her. There are some things that I need to say to her in person.""Mr. Carlton, I'm not holding her captive. Her phone is accessible. You're here because she isn't willing to meet with you, right?"Ethan exhaled some smoke with his head tilted upward. "Since she has already decided, I don't want to trouble her with more issues. She suffered significant psychological trauma in that kidnapping."The conversations between them had always been short and straight to the point. But Chris had no choice but to lay his pride down for Chloe's sake. "Ethan, I know you don't have feelings for Marina. You're marrying her because you want our family to back you, right?""That'

Olivia lazed around on the island for a few days. She did nothing but sleep and eat the whole time. The quality of her life improved immensely. She walked around the beach barefooted while carrying a bucket in hand. She would grab any sand crabs she saw with tongs. Snowball wanted to help her, but the sand was too hot for her, so she moved away. Olivia went to the livestock area after she had caught quite a few sand crabs. She poured the sand carbs out, which caused the farm animals to chase after them. Her mood improved as she looked at the lively animals. Then, she went back to her room to shower in preparation for dinner. She happened to get a call from Colin."Olivia, how have you been?""I've been pretty well. I've been eating, drinking, and sleeping well. I don't have to worry about getting kidnapped either.""That's great. I just wanted to inform you that your father has arrived at the destination safely. The doctors on the island have just examined him. His body is

After he hung up, Ethan looked at all the new leads before him. In the time Olivia was out of town, he had gotten to investigating the whereabouts of Toxic Hive and about the past. He found the hometown of Paul Cruz and Clara Foster. According to what his people found out, the child had been gone for some days. From the pictures provided by the villagers, the child looked a lot like Belle and had some of Paul's features. Paul and Clara had also disappeared from Aldenvine. Even though he couldn't bring the child back, their existence was proof enough. Someone had pinned the blame on Jeff. The claims about Belle having his baby and Jeff forcing her away, which caused her to suffer from mental illness before she ultimately committed suicide didn't hold up to scrutiny. Someone had plotted everything, even before Jeff's traffic accident. But it didn't seem like the person wanted to harm him. Their main objective was to destroy his relationship with Olivia. The person went to great

There was a hidden tunnel under the cherry blossom tree in the garden of the Moriarty residence. Colin jumped into it. At a certain underground base outside of the city, Colin was seen in a black outfit and a mask. Scanning his fingerprint, he entered the base. He walked down a long dimly-lit flight of stairs where the air smelled like mold and rotten corpses. He walked through a door, and the scenery behind it was completely different. There were advanced mechanical devices glowing with blue lights and robots everywhere. His identity was being verified at the door. A robotic voice said, "Verified. Welcome home, Leo."Colin quickly walked forward, but someone pressed something against his head. A woman asked, "Where did you take the old man?"The gentleness he usually showed for Olivia was gone. He swung his elbow hard toward his back with a sullen face. The woman dodged instinctively. He used the opening to grab the woman and got behind her. With one hand, he grabbed her

Olivia took it easy for two more days. As long as her phone was on, Chris' messages would keep coming in, so she turned it off. She lay in the soft and spacious bed as she looked at the horizon.Although the island was a great place, she kept thinking of Ethan's words. She wondered when he would come and take her back to the city. She was eager to go back. She had time to wait, but the same couldn't be said for Jeff. It was almost time for his operation. She called Ethan again."What's wrong?" Ethan sounded tired. "I want to go back now, Ethan.""Give me some time. I'll come get you myself." "But … I want to go back now.""I need some more time." Ethan couldn't let her know what he was doing. He could only guarantee her safety after he cleared out all the threats in the city. "But if there's something you have to do, you can tell me," Ethan said patiently. Olivia didn't want too many people to know about Jeff's condition, so she didn't tell him."It's nothing. I'm just

Brent found it strange that Chris hadn't come looking for Ethan in the past few days. "Did Mr. Carlton give up?""He'll never give up until the last moment. He knows I won't budge. He's probably thinking of other ways." Ethan was sure no one could locate Olivia if he didn't go to the island. She must be safe. Brent handed him a bulletproof vest and said, "Mr. Miller, you should wear it just to be safe. The knife wound on your chest hasn't completely healed yet.""Okay."Ethan looked at the cloudy sky. The sunlight was completely blocked out. The world looked dark and gloomy. Brent, who was driving, said irritably, "It's so stuffy. It's probably going to rain soon. Rain just dampens the mood.""It's good to have some rain. It'll cleanse the filth from this city."Ethan couldn't help but call Olivia when he thought about what he was about to do. It was how things used to be. Her voice would calm him down.Olivia had just finished feeding the ducks. She had been chased around

Reality proved that a former long-distance running champion was no match for well-trained military men. In less than 50 meters, Olivia was subdued by one of Chris' men. She was pinned to the ground in a neck hold with her face against the scorching sand.Chris quickly said, "Don't hurt her. She's a guest."Olivia was captured, and there was some sand on her right cheek. She spat some sand out of her mouth before saying, "So this is how you treat guests?"Chris took out a handkerchief and cleaned her face himself. "Sorry, Olivia."Olivia was put on the helicopter just like that. Chris smiled bitterly when he met her eyes, which were filled with hatred. "Olivia, you're Chloe's only child. I want to take care of you. It's not my wish for things to turn out like this. I hope you can understand.""I can't, nor do I want to."Olivia looked outside the window. The beautiful island was getting farther and farther from her like it was all a dream.The person who had sworn to protec
