Chapter 265
The person’s voice was deliberately disguised so that it couldn’t be distinguished. But when the person tilted Olivia’s chin with their fingers, Olivia caught a faint scent of herbs.
Olivia had only studied modern medicine, so she had little knowledge of herbal medicine. She wasn’t able to tell what kind of herbs she was smelling or even if it was a mixture of several herbs.
“Do you plan to kill me?” Olivia asked directly.
“Your life is not in my hands.”
Olivia frowned, confused. She didn’t understand what other motive the person would have for bringing her to a place like this.
“What do you mean?” Olivia felt more uneasy after she learned that she wouldn’t be killed. If they were keeping her alive, it would surely have something to do with Ethan.
“I’m already divorced from him. I have nothing now. What else do you want from me?”
The person’s fingers tightened around Olivia’s chin. Olivia winced in pain, but she didn’t make a sound.
“You’re a smart woman. I can see why he likes you so much.”
The person saw through Olivia’s intent to get more information out of her. She didn’t bring up a single word about her plans
for Ethan.
Olivia saw that the person didn’t take the bait. “With the way things are now, I know I won’t be able to leave here alive. If my guess is correct, this must be an abandoned house near the ocean. Ethan won’t be able to come here in time to save me.”
“That’s right.”
“I have one request before I die. Can you show me your face? I want to see the face of the person that brought my family to ruins.”
The fingers on Olivia’s chin tightened once more. “You have no right to request anything from me.”
The person did not let up and added, “I told you, you might not be the one to die today.”
Olivia wanted to say something more, but she heard the sound of a phone vibrating.
The person picked up the phone and said with a laid-back tone, “I’m just playing around. Are you mad that I hurt her?”
The room was quiet. Olivia thought she heard the voice of a man coming from the other end of the phone. Before she could listen closely, the person let go of her chin.
The person walked away to continue their conversation on the phone. Olivia could hear the nonchalance in that person’s tone. It was as if Olivia’s life had no value to them.
Olivia tried to calm herself. She was blindfolded, so she couldn’t inspect her surroundings. She didn’t dare to break through the ropes around her hands.
She held onto the pen knife in her palm tightly. Even if she didn’t walk out of here today, she was determined to go down with
that person.
This was the best chance she had for revenge. It would be hard for her to find the person again on her own.
Olivia would also like to see what tricks the person had hidden up their sleeve. She kept telling herself she couldn’t be rash. But she couldn’t control the ma*sive throbbing pain in her stomach.
She curled up in a ball due to the pain. Her b*dy was covered in sweat. It was just one thing after another for her.
She bit her l*p as she tried to wrestle with the pain. Suddenly, she felt something cool on her l*ps. It seemed to be a cup.
Olivia didn’t dare to drink from it. A cold voice said, “You’re already here anyway. Why would we drug you?”
“Dr. Galloway?”

Dr. Galloway didn’t deny it. She said, “Drink it, now.”
Olivia quiddy took two sips. It was warm chamomile tea.
“Dr. Galloway, did you kill Belle?” Olivia took the chance to ask her a question.
“Stop talking” Dr. Galloway didn’t answer.
“Dr. Galloway, I went to see Belle’s b*dy. She died a horrible death. Do you have a grudge against her? Did she really have to die like that? That’s a life you took Won’t it keep you up at night?”
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 …
