Even After Death Chapter 75
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

Ethan silently stared at the paper in Chris' hands. Feeling pressured, Chris forced a smile. "The results are in. Mr. Miller, you have nothing to worry about. I told you she'd be fine. Take a look."Fine? Olivia frowned. A CT scan might miss the symptoms at the early stages of cancer when even the organs function just fine. But it was odd that the scan picked up nothing when she was in the late stage of stomach cancer.While she was thinking hard, Ethan looked more relieved and grew hostile at the same time. He made his way to her with a grim expression. She squirmed under his gaze, wondering what he had picked up from the results. Anger was not an emotion she expected to see in him after he learned the truth about her failing health.He stood in front of her with eyes that burned in rage."So …" Her voice trailed. He suddenly threw the papers at her and bellowed, "Take a look at it yourself!"She picked up the CT results that showed no abnormalities. Even her blood test resul

The air froze from the tension. Chris interfered before the situation worsened. "Mr. Miller, we're all happy that Mrs. Miller is healthy."Refusing to waste any effort on Olivia, Ethan looked away and said emotionlessly, "You'd better behave."In an outburst, she let out her pent-up emotions and threw her bowl of soup at the man who thought he was always right. "Behave? Fuck you!"He was the one who pursued her and asked for her hand in marriage. His possessiveness forced her to give up on her future and freedom. Not only did he land her in the current mess, he dared to claim that she was faking her illness.The soup dripped from Ethan's tailored, luxurious suit. Seeing red, he gave her a death glare and marched up to her. Sensing a huge fight, Chris jumped in and blocked Ethan with an anxious look. "Mr. Miller, the soup must have slipped from her hand. Mrs. Miller, say something!"She straightened herself and replied flatly, "Yeah, it slipped."Chris sounded relieved. "Mr. Mil

Recalling the look in Ethan's eyes, Olivia answered quickly, "No.""That's great, then. It's just a viral infection. You may be discharged after a few days of monitoring at the hospital." Chris felt as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He gave her some more advice and left after she ignored him.Olivia had already done a biopsy which had confirmed her stomach cancer, but the CT scan results this time showed nothing. She had only undergone one chemotherapy session. Although it was very effective and the tumor would shrink, it would not disappear overnight. Evidently, something was off with the results, and only someone from the inside could have tampered with it. The person who did it must have been fearless if they had dared to do it right under Ethan's nose.Who could it be? Was it Marina? Was the incident at the grave not enough that this person had to alter Olivia's checkup results?Although there were no other suspects besides Marina, Olivia still felt that

Olivia saw no sign of Ethan over the next two days, but she had Everly taking care of her while berating Ethan. "Do you think that idiot got possessed? Why does he keep acting up? First, he wants a divorce, then next, he can't accept you dating someone new. Now he's even saying that you're pretending to be sick. I think you should get some holy water to drive away whatever evil is possessing him," ranted Everly.Olivia said calmly, "He's not possessed. He's just crazy." After two days of rest, she felt back to normal other than her stomach still causing her problems. After hearing her out, Calvin suggested doing another checkup for her, but she politely declined. She just said she had already done a checkup at another hospital and was currently receiving treatment. Calvin hadn't thought much about it. He took two days to conduct investigations and came to give her an answer. "Hey, Everly. You're here too?" Calvin was wearing a white doctor's coat with a white shirt underneat

Olivia said gratefully, "Thank you, Calvin.""Don't thank me. It was our fault anyway. If word about this spreads, our hospital's reputation would be ruined." Olivia replied, "Someone was targeting me, so it has nothing to do with the hospital. I won't tell a soul. I hope that you can keep this a secret too. Don't even tell Chris. I don't want to alert anyone."Calvin nodded in understanding. "Let's put this behind us for now. I suggest that you do another checkup. I'll personally run the tests this time. If there's any problem, we can start solving it earlier too." Olivia smiled and said, "It's no big deal. Don't worry.""Okay then. These machines are radioactive, so you shouldn't be exposed to them too frequently in such a short period of time. If you want to have another checkup in a few months, then you can contact me any time.""Sure."Calvin smiled warmly and said, "You're well enough to be discharged now. I've already asked someone to deal with the procedures. By the wa

"Doctor, how is he?" Olivia's heart was pounding violently as she gripped her sleeve tightly. She was terrified of hearing the worst. "Fortunately, the nurses noticed his condition very quickly, and we were able to save him in time. Olivia, I won't keep it from you. "Your father is in a very dangerous state, and we need the best brain specialist, Leo, to perform brain surgery for him. "Otherwise … We might not be able to save him next time."Olivia's heart sank. She wanted to find Leo more than anyone else. Alas, she didn't have a wide social circle. Keith had helped her look for Leo before, but to no avail. When Jeff was wheeled out, she saw how weak he looked with his eyes tightly shut. She called out, "Dad." However, it was like throwing a pebble down a well because she received no answer.One of Jeff's hands, which wasn't covered by the blanket, looked thin and wrinkled with age. He seemed to have aged a lot over the last two short years. Except for the indwelling nee
