Ethan was stunned. For a moment, he didn't understand what Olivia was trying to say."Liv, please let me explain. I never had intercourse with …" he tried to explain.But Olivia didn't want to hear anything about Marina coming from him. She felt disgusted. "Ethan, I told you I don't care about your relationship with her. I'm talking about my illness."Ethan held the glass in his hand. He suddenly felt lost. He set the glass aside and tried to calm himself. "Alright. You talk. I'll listen," he said."Help me get discharged. I want to get out of here.""You can't do that. You can't leave the hospital in your current condition." Ethan explained, "The doctors have come up with a treatment plan. I'm also looking for a cure for you. Don't give up now. This isn't something we can't overcome. Please, just go along with the treatment. You'll definitely get better."Olivia smiled calmly. "Ethan. I'm a medical student. All I've been reading recently are medical books. Do you think I don
Ethan didn't dare to approach Olivia anymore. He could only watch over her from afar. "Brent, arrange a paternity test for Connor and Liv. She'll believe me when she sees the results," he said."Mr. Miller, may I say something?" Brent asked with a complicated expression.Ethan turned to look at him.Brent continued, "Mr. Miller, the biggest issue between you and Mrs. Miller isn't the truth. Every one of us knows you never touched Ms. Carlton. But the fact is you lied to and hurt Mrs. Miller. Even if you explained yourself, would she believe you?"Ethan thought about Olivia's intense reaction just a moment ago. "She won't believe me.""That's right. Even if you showed her the report, she would only think you were manipulating the results with your authority. Bluntly put, Mrs. Miller's condition is very bad right now. You shouldn't do anything to further upset her." Brent's words were very straightforward. Ethan's existence would only agitate Olivia. At the same moment, the doct
Olivia didn't know what was in store for her. She was lying in bed when Keith came in with some food. She said, "Keith, I don't have an appetite.""Even so, you should eat a little. Your body is very weak now. You need to give your immune system a boost to keep the cancer cells at bay. It's home-cooked chicken soup. At least take a sip." Keith didn't tell her Ethan cooked it. Or else, she would never try it. Olivia didn't turn him down. "Keith, I've lost my memories. Can you tell me about the past?"Keith couldn't believe she had lost her memories. No wonder he felt like something was off the two times he met her. "How did you lose your memories?" Keith asked.Olivia thought about how big a liar Ethan was. What he had said might not be true. "It's not important. Can you tell me what kind of person I used to be?" she asked.Keith didn't dig too much into it. "You've been an outstanding person ever since you were young. You skipped a few grades, so you weren't even 18 years o
Olivia's gaze was cold. "It was his idea, right?"Keith replied, "Yes. He didn't want to stand by and do nothing. The cancer cells in your body are spreading fast. This was the only option."Chemotherapy was a high-stakes gamble. It would have a strong inhibitory effect on the tumor if it were successful. But if it didn't work, it would speed up Olivia's demise. The worst thing was that her death would be painful as she suffered from the side effects of chemotherapy. Keith licked his lips and explained, "He wants you to live, Olivia. I'm also hoping for a miracle. Just like two years ago. I said you only had three to six months left to live. But the results of your chemotherapy were very good, and your condition stabilized. Maybe this time …""Keith, I know you mean well, but … I don't really want to live anymore." Two years ago, when she said that, she was sad. It was because life was hard on her, and she couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. But at this moment, Ol
Olivia, you shouldn't have done that. Those words reverberated in her mind. She saw how self-deprecating she used to be and how haughty Ethan was. He didn't trust her at all. He looked at her like she was a piece of trash.What heinous crime did she commit to have him look at her with such disdain? Olivia's head started to hurt as the memories resurfaced. The pain was unbearable. "What's wrong, Liv? Is your stomach hurting again?" Ethan asked as he held her hand. Olivia looked at Ethan and grabbed his wrist. With an icy expression, she said, "Ethan, you shouldn't have done that." Ethan's expression froze. Then, Olivia flung his hand away. "Didn't you want me gone? That's fine. Just stop all treatment. Things will turn out the way you want them to." Obviously, Olivia remembered something. It made Ethan fearful and uneasy. This was the worst-case scenario. "Liv, there were some misunderstandings between us in the past. But that's all behind us now. Don't think too
When they were halfway through, Olivia tried to break free while Ethan wasn't paying attention. But the effects of the medicine made her dizzy and nauseous. She felt like the strength in her body had been sapped away. Ethan quickly helped her back into the bed. "Stop moving around, Liv."Olivia didn't have the strength to move even if she wanted to. As soon as she tried, her head would spin. She could only close her eyes to ease the discomfort. Chemotherapy took much longer compared to the usual intravenous injections. It wasn't until nightfall that the last bag was approaching its end.Ethan was with her the whole time. He was also uneasy. He was afraid that she would collapse before the medicine was fully administered. But although she was weak, Olivia had pulled through. She didn't dare to move in the slightest as she felt the familiar sensation. She couldn't even open her eyes because she was so dizzy. Ethan asked Keith, "Did the same thing happen when she went throug
Ethan had just fallen asleep when he heard the movement. He raised his head to see Olivia falling over and quickly wrapped his arms around her. "Are you okay, Liv?" Ethan's back was covered in a cold sweat despite already holding Olivia in his arms. Olivia's condition wasn't comparable to a regular person. Even a tiny fall could cause irreversible damage to her. Olivia's face was extremely pale. "I …" She had no energy to argue with Ethan. Even uttering a single word caused her major discomfort. It was like she was suffocating. "What's wrong? Are you thirsty or hungry? Let me know whatever you need." Olivia found it hard to speak up. "Get … Get me a female nurse."Ethan immediately understood and quickly brought her to the toilet. However, Olivia drove him out awkwardly, so he just waited by the door. He then gave Sharon a call to ask her to come over. Then, he proceeded to prepare breakfast for Olivia. Meanwhile, Olivia had exhausted all her strength after briefly w
Noticing his sudden pause, Olivia asked casually, "What's wrong?""It's nothing." Ethan's movement became even lighter. He didn't dare to use the slightest bit of force. Even so, her hair was still falling off. Ethan finally understood why Olivia chose to cut her hair short. He wasn't there with her in the past when she was at her most vulnerable. This time, he swore to be with her no matter what. He brushed his fingers gently through her hair and helped her into a jacket. Then, he carried her to a wheelchair and pushed her out of the room. He even asked someone to change the bedsheets before they left. It was in every woman's nature to want to be pretty. Ethan remembered that Olivia loved her long, glossy hair back when they were close. She would wear simple and elegant dresses and secure her hair with a hairpin. He remembered how smug she was when she told her she could pin her hair up with one hand. Olivia used to be talkative, but she barely ever spoke these days.
