Chapter 302
Ethan, who was reaching for the door, looked back at Chloe immediately.
“Ms. Parker, what did you say?”
She raised the teddy phone watch, crying. “I gave this to Liv the night before your engagement.
“When she was little, I promised her that I would buy her the latest watch. But I left that same year. I gave her this to make up for it.”
She held the phone watch to her chest. “Liv must’ve been here.
“She doesn’t want this phone watch, and she doesn’t want me either. It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.”
Ethan ran out of the room.
The huge hospital was full of people, but there was no sign of the person he missed.
“Liv!” He shouted Olivia’s name, but no one answered.
Brent approached him. “Mr. Miller, I’ve looked into it. It’s the hospital’s janitor who left the watch.
“Someone paid her to do that. Mrs. Miller didn’t come.”
His heart sank to the pit of his stomach.
Olivia didn’t even visit her seriously ill mother. It was obvious that she was going to cut ties with Chloe.
If she could cut ties with her biological mother, what about Ethan?
He felt his head spinning as if he was going to fall at any moment.
“Mr. Miller, are you alright?” Brent held Ethan’s arm.
Ethan suppressed the sorrow inflating in him. “Brent, Liv doesn’t want me anymore.”
The sky began to drizzle.
He pushed Brent away and marched forward aimlessly.
The wind caressed his face, and raindrops pattered on him.
After taking a few steps forward, he suddenly looked back. “I have a guess.”
“What is it?”
“I should be able to find out if she buys a train or flight ticket. We’ve also put in place strict inspections at each entrance. She won’t take those risks with her life.”
“Mr. Miller, do you mean …” Brent looked at Ethan.
“She’s going to travel by water. It’s easy to hide a person on a cargo ship.” Ethan found hope.
Brent frowned. “Aldenvine Port is one of the top three ports in the whole world. There are a lot of cargo ships docking at the
port.
“It won’t be easy to search for her. Besides, there are many cargo ships from other countries docking at the port to unload the goods.
“Even if we manage to obtain a search warrant, it’ll take up a lot of time to search each and every cargo ship.
Ethan ordered, “Search for her. Print out the list of incoming and departing cargo ships scheduled for the next seven days.
“I don’t care if they’re going to dock at the port for one minute. Just record them for me.”
“Yes. sir.”
Chapter 302
Now, he had found the direction of his search for Olivia.
Balling his fists, he thought, “Liv, I’m never going to let you go!”

At the same time, Colin had packed up all of their stuff. He handed Snowball to Olivia.
Smiling faintly, he said, “Let’s go, Olivia.”
She stared at the cherry blossom tree absent-mindedly. “Don’t we have two days left? Why are we leaving earlier than planned?”
“For peace of mind.” He gazed at her gently. “What’s wrong? Do you have some unfinished business?”
She shook her head. “No. I’ve said goodbye to them. Let’s go.”
Colin knew what she was thinking.
After all, Olivia had lived in this city for years. They didn’t know when they would return after leaving the city.
Furthermore, she had yet to find out who the mastermind was. So, she couldn’t get over it yet.
“Okay.” Colin grabbed some of Snowball’s toys and headed outside.
Meanwhile, Olivia was standing by the road while staring in a direction.
It was the Fordham residence, and she could see that huge plum tree.
“Do you want to say goodbye to it?” he questioned.
“No, I don’t wanna cause any extra trouble.” She withdrew her gaze.
She bid farewell in her head before getting into the car.
He slowly drove along the streets.
Mixed feelings churned in her as she watched the scene, which she was used to seeing for many years.
Noticing that she was in low spirits, he cooed, “Olivia, give me a second. I’ll go get something from Yearwoods’ Restaurant.”
“You still remember my favorite.”
“I will never forget about your favorites.” He got out of the car and scurried into the alley.
Since he was rushing, he bumped into someone while holding the paper bags.
His car keys fell onto the ground.
The red ball, which was attached to the car keys, fell off and rolled until it bumped into a leather shoe.
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 …
