Even After Death Chapter 69
To Ethan, Olivia was the symbol of vitality. Hence, he was flustered when Brent mentioned the potentially fatal condition that she was in. Brent went up to him and showed him the photos of the blood test results on the phone. Apart from the blood cell count, Olivia had a lower-than-average count for the other lymphatic cells.Ethan tried to grasp the consequences of his actions in full. He remembered her desperate screaming when he left her alone in the bathroom. Feeling disoriented, he replied, "Well, she's running a fever now.""That's bad. We need to get her to the hospital.""Get the car." Ethan recalled how Olivia had always shown up wrapped in a thick down jacket. That was rather unusual because she had only worn thin wool coats during the past winters to look good. It finally dawned on him. She wasn't faking her illness all this time.He clumsily wrapped her up in layers of clothing, seemingly worried that the cold air might seep in. She looked both pitiful and lovab

Ethan let go of Chris' collar and stumbled backward as Olivia's words echoed in his mind."Ethan, I was wrong … Meeting you in this life was a mistake."She must have hated herself to the extent of giving up on her life. For the first time, Chris picked up a hint of fear on Ethan's face. After a long silence, Ethan finally questioned, "I went through her blood test results. Why are the indices lower than average?""In situations like these, she's likely having …" Chris stopped himself from telling the truth. After a round of chemo, the patient's blood cell indices would fall under the average. Although he had not performed health checks for Olivia in the past two years, he highly doubted that she had cancer because she was healthy and young. Statistically, cancer patients were mostly middle-aged or older. Since the situation was tense, he didn't want to scare Ethan before there was a conclusive result."Likely having what?""Nothing. Did you notice anything off with Mrs. Mil

The scenery in Olivia's dream changed from the ocean to a lovely sunflower field. A kid was running and giggling in the field. "Mama! Come get me!""Oh, sweetie! My sweet child." When she caught up with the kid, she pulled him into a hug. "I finally found you, my baby! I'm sorry. I will protect you well now."She turned the kid around and was astonished to see Connor's meaty face. It suddenly started pouring, and she had to run to a shelter with the kid. She was drenched by the rain.At that moment, she woke up from the dream, and the first thing she saw was the kid with a meaty face drooling from his lips. The drool almost fell onto her face, but Ethan was fast enough to wipe it away. When they exchanged glances, the air became a little awkward. After all, Ethan had sported an image of a haughty company president. Nobody had ever caught him in such an unbefitting act.Olivia chuckled after she noticed the unfamiliar environment. "Is this a dream? Am I dead? Why would I dream of

Ethan reached out to touch her forehead, but she dodged his move. "Mr. Miller, please don't cross the line.""I just wanted to know if you're still running a fever," he explained. To that, she flashed a caustic smile. "Don't you think you're quite ridiculous? You were the one who tied me up under the cold shower. You're not a three-year-old—you knew the consequences, so why did you act like you cared after I caught a fever?""I didn't know you were weak. And I didn't know you'd be in critical condition after getting a fever."Her smile widened. "Does that matter? Plus, we are divorced, but you keep acting like you are in love with me. That's sickening."She had no idea why Connor was in her room, but she knew that it wouldn't be wise to have him stay around her. Now that she was back to herself, she gently pulled Connor away from her. She then tossed the blanket aside and took out the IV drip needle from the back of her hand.Droplets of blood trickled down the tiny wound, but

Olivia stared at the pale moon in the sky, which was an apt reflection of her miserable and meaningless life. She no longer wished to be involved with Ethan and sought death. In death, there would be no love or hate. Perhaps, he might give up obsessing over her if she were dead.To her surprise, Ethan jumped and grabbed her wrist when she plunged from the balcony. Connor was disturbed by the scene and hurriedly hopped off the bed. He then jogged out of the room to look for Brent. Brent was smoking outside the room but put it out when he saw the kid stumbling toward him. He crouched and patiently asked, "Hey, Connor. Why are you out here?"Panicking, Connor explained, "Mama … Cry …" He attempted to communicate with gestures, but Brent had no idea what he was trying to say. Brent lifted Connor into his arms. "I'll send you back to the room. It's cold out here. You shouldn't catch a cold."Meanwhile, Ethan was holding onto Olivia's hand. She looked at him emotionlessly. "Ethan,

With steely determination, Olivia jumped off the seventh floor to sever her ties to Ethan. Unexpectedly, Ethan quickly kicked against the ledge to launch himself into the air and fell beside her. Her eyes widened at the sight. She wondered, "Is he insane?"Among the flurry of snowflakes, she locked eyes with him. Glaring, he threw himself at her with all his might like a net. She had always failed to escape him, like a moth drawn to a flame.But the flames burned her, and she regretted getting close. Ethan would not stop even after he shattered her heart. He would continue to torment and oppress her.Ethan hugged her tight, and the two intertwined bodies descended from the air at great speed. On the ground, Kelvin quickly moved a few inflatable cushions from a nearby event with the help of the bodyguards, and they managed to set it up at the last minute. With a loud thud, Ethan and Olivia crashed into the inflatable cushions before rolling onto the ground. The cushions buf

Ethan snickered as he took Olivia by the wrist and scooped her into his arms. He was a little rough with her because of his anger, and he pinned her legs against his body with his arms.She tried to free herself but withdrew her hands when her fingers accidentally brushed against his neck. The warmth of his body lingered on her fingertips."Ethan, let go of me." She struggled with all her might, but it was futile. Giving up, she stayed in his arms as he walked through the snow-linen path. The snow crunched underneath his boots during the walk to her room. He did not say a word, letting the silence hang over them. The heating in the room warmed up her freezing body. Unaware of the events, Connor stumbled toward her as though he wanted a hug. She reflexively reached out to hug him when she saw the tears and snot on his face. However, Ethan lifted the poor kid by the collar and instructed his men icily, "Send Connor home.""Got it." Brent was relieved when he confirmed that Olivi

Although Chris only got a few hours of sleep, he showed up looking fresh. Since Ethan wasn't around, he told Olivia, "Mrs. Miller, your husband really cares about you. Look at how he arranged all these checkups for you."Olivia wanted to scoff at Chris' assumption. Ethan only wanted her to undergo the checkups to keep her healthy and to suffer from his punishments. She was somewhat curious about Ethan's expression if he knew she had stomach cancer. Anyway, she did not have much of a choice at the moment. She croaked, "Yeah, let's do it."There was a dizzying amount of checkups to be completed. Endoscopy wasn't on the list because the procedure was more complicated. The patient would need to take laxatives after midnight to clear the bowels and go under anesthesia. Olivia wasn't in the condition to be put through the bowel prep. On top of that, she had stuck to a regular daily routine ever since marrying Ethan. Chris assumed that her digestive system was healthy and did not reques

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. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

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. If the whole Fordham family were to be added to the family registry, would her children inherit less from the Heath family?Humans were born selfish.

Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. 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
