บททั้งหมดของ Even After Death: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Keith scheduled Olivia's first round of chemo for the day after tomorrow to prevent her condition from deteriorating. The chemo would come with a plethora of side effects. In the first two weeks, the patient would feel weak and experience hair loss. That was why Olivia would have to get everything sorted out before the session.Although Jeff was still in a coma, at least Olivia didn't need to worry about paying off his medical bills. She made a payment at the hospital before heading back to the home that she used to share with Ethan. She was worried that she might be too weak after chemo. Hence, she booked the services of a moving company before starting chemo. She was planning to move out of this place anyway. Olivia's best friend, Everly Hilton, showed up in office wear. She strutted around in heels while clutching a crossbody. At the same time, she happened to be carrying two bags of chips as well.Olivia immediately heard her friend's loud voice from afar. "Liv, you are f

When Brent felt Ethan's chilling gaze on him, he had to explain. "Mr. Miller, she's with Everly."It wasn't unusual for Olivia to hang out with her best friend, Everly. Ethan had asked Brent to follow Everly on Instagram to monitor Olivia's move. While explaining, Brent showed his boss Everly's Instagram post. In one of them, Everly showed off her eye-catching pink curls, but Ethan was instantly drawn to Olivia, who was rocking a different style in the photo. She had gotten a middle-part pixie cut, which—coupled with her tiny face—made her look more morose than her usual sunny disposition. Her eyes were looking downward, and her collarbone was visible through her Oxford shirt in the photo. Her beauty was almost sacred.The caption read "Reborn."Ethan hadn't realized that his fingers were trembling slightly. After a year of being pestered by her, he should have felt relieved that she wanted to let go. But why did he feel suffocated instead?He reminded himself that his sister w

Olivia shot Keith a grateful look, and he nodded at her in acknowledgment before turning around to help her with the hospitalization matters.The nurse patiently explained the process to her, "Ms. Fordham, you will need to receive treatment over the long term. We will inject the chemo drugs into your body each time, but all the injections and the drugs will further harm your veins. "In some serious cases, you will experience exosmosis. Just so you know, the drugs used are corrosive. To avoid those complications, we'd recommend inserting a medical port in your arm. We usually insert the port in advance to make sure that the drugs travel through your veins and into your organs." She continued, "The good thing is that the nurses won't struggle to find your veins down the road—it's convenient and safe. But on the flip side, you can't lift heavy weights with this arm in the future."Olivia agreed with the nurse and went under a minor surgery to insert the port in her arm. As she was a

Olivia lifted her head with a sarcastic smile on her lips. "What a smart question. Did you forget that you were the one who wanted a divorce?"He ignored her jibe and inched closer with a threatening air. "Were you with him for the past few days?"At the close distance, she noticed the iciness in his bloodshot eyes, and his face contorted into an aggressive scowl. She flatly denied, "No. He dropped me off because it was hard to get a cab on a snowy day."Ethan smirked. "Olivia, don't you know that you always stare upward when you're lying? You haven't changed that habit at all. Did you suddenly agree to the divorce after one year of dragging your feet, all because of that man? Did you vanish and leave behind your dad because of him too?"Olivia did not bother to cook up an excuse, knowing that it'd only be an insult to Ethan's intelligence and make herself look guilty. She swiftly steered the topic of conversation, "That's not important. Let's get the divorce over with."He gr

Ethan could easily crush Olivia's dainty ankle in his grasp. He bent over her and slowly inched closer. Her terrified face and her aversion only fueled his desires. Her heart pumping wildly, she roared at him fearfully and furiously, "Keep your filthy paws off me! I don't want you touching me after you've slept with another woman!"However, he quickly shut her up with a kiss. Her eyes widened, and she shook her head relentlessly to free herself. His hand traveled under her neck to hold the back of her head, forcing her to look up at him and receive the punishing kiss. His crisp breath was sickening to her, especially when she remembered that he might have kissed Marina before this.Olivia mustered all her energy to shove him away and started heaving by the bed. When she was done, she noticed Ethan glaring at her with a grudgeful look. She said unflinchingly, "I told you not to touch me. You're filthy!"Ethan was simmering in anger. Olivia's puking was an instant turn-off, and
