Chapter 1166
Olivia didn’t expect the cover she had been keeping up for s
be blown at that moment.
Linus slowly walked toward her.
“Mr. Heath, I can explain.”
Linus slammed his fist on the dressing table, which caused Olivia to
shudder.
“So you never lost your memories?” Linus said through gritted teeth.
Olivia knew there was no point in lying. So, she nodded. “Yes.”
“That child that Krystal saw was Ethan’s daughter?”
“Yes.”
“You and Ethan…”
Olivia licked her lips. “It’s complicated between us.”
She didn’t even know how to describe their relationship herself. She couldn’t just say he went from her ex-husband to her S*x friend, right? It was pretty ridiculous.
“So you ..”
Olivia immediately said, “Mr. Heath, I’m indeed Ethan’s ex-wife.
Vanessa is my codename. I didn’t create it to get closer to you or your family. I did it to keep myself safe.”
“Keep yourself safe?”
“Some people have been after my life since a few years back. Ever
Ethan wasn’t able to find who wanted me dead. I had no choice but to
go into hiding and live my life with another identity.
“I actually hadn’t seen Ethan for over three years. We were only
reunited when he came to the village, and I helped him cure the
poison he was afflicted with.
“As for saving your father’s life, I didn’t actually plan for that. I can’t.
predict the future, and I didn’t really want to be part of this mess.”
Olivia stared at him intensely. “I don’t care if you believe me or not,
but I never intended to hurt your father.”
“I believe you.”
Linus withdrew his hand. “Or else you wouldn’t have been the first one!
at his side, protecting him.”
“Mr. Heath, I had wanted to leave long ago. If you hadn’t tried to
convince me to stay multiple times, I would’ve left after I completed
the surgery.
“Like this situation right now. Ethan wanted me to save your father
without any malicious intent. But now, seeds of suspicion have been
sowed. You’d think he sent me to your father’s side with some ulterior
motive.”
That was exactly what Linus would’ve thought before. But Olivia had
just risked her own life to save Mason, so he was already convinced
otherwise.
“Your feelings for him…
“Mr. Heath, that’s personal. I’m sorry, but I won’t say anything abo
that. Do whatever you want to me.”
Linus stared at her face for a moment before saying, “I’ll keep your
secret. I won’t tell my father or anyone else.”
“You…”
“You can stay. I trust you. If your face will bring you trouble, you can
keep up your old appearance.”
Olivia sighed. “Thanks.”
“You’ve saved my father’s life multiple times now. I should be the one
to thank you. There are a lot of people out there right now. You can
wait here for the moment. I’ll get someone to bring you out of here
from the backdoor later.”
“Okay.”
Then, someone knocked on the door. Ethan had come.
Since Linus already knew her secret, she had nothing to hide. She
went to open the door. Ethan wrapped his arms around her as soon
as he walked in.
“Liv, are you okay? I was so afraid just now. It was so dangerous. You were too reckless. There were so many guards around. Why would
you rush in before them? Let me ch*ck if you’re hurt.”
Ethan was about to
solivia. Then, Linus cleared his throat.
Ethan finally noticed there was another person in the room. “Why are
you here?”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
