Chapter 318
Olivia noticed that Kelvin and Brent weren’t there.
There were several servants and chefs on the island, though. Soon, a seafood feast was prepared for her.
Without saying a word, she lowered her head and drank some soup.
Ethan felt uncomfortable with the eerie silence. Hence, he started a conversation. “Liv, you used to talk a lot in the past.”
Olivia froze for a moment. He was right. She was quite talkative in the past.
Back then, Ethan was busy every day. He would either be on business trips or at work. He rarely had time for her.
Olivia cherished every second she could spend with him. So, she was the most talkative during mealtimes, which were supposed to be quiet.
She could chatter on and on. She choked on her food a few times and got into a coughing fit.
Still, she just drank some water and continued. Her face was filled with lively smiles.
But now, there were no smiles on her face. There wasn’t even much emotion.
Putting her spoon down, Olivia wiped her mouth and reversed the question. “Then what do you want me to say to you? Do I ask if work has been going well lately?”
Ethan was stunned. Before he knew it, he had already stopped communicating normally with Olivia.
Losing his appetite, he put down his fork.
He said helplessly, “I thought you’d be happy. There are coconuts, waves, the beach, and sunshine here. We can go diving
tomorrow.”
Olivia chuckled. “Am I going to live here for a long time in the future?”
“You’ve lost a lot of weight. No one will bother you on this island, so you can rest and recuperate here.
“As for your father, I’ve already sent men to investigate the matter. I’ll tell you as soon as I get any information.”
Olivia replied, “You’re just putting me in a different prison.”
But the cage was quite big this time. She didn’t have to be caged in at all.
The sea was all around her, so she had no way of escaping.
She was the canary Ethan kept in a wildlife park. The cage had changed, but her identity remained the same.
“I didn’t mean it like that. I-
But Olivia didn’t want to hear another word from him. “The bedroom is this way, right? I’m going back now.”
Ethan looked at the table full of seafood she barely touched. His mood was extremely foul.
He wasn’t simply imprisoning Olivia on this island.
For now, he hadn’t figured out who the mastermind was. So, it would be dangerous for Olivia if she stayed in Aldenvine.
He had received news that, even now, they couldn’t find a matching bone marrow for Chloe.
Her parents had pa*sed away within a span of a few years. Her relatives had already done the tests, all except for her daughter,
Olivia.
There was a high chance that Olivia’s bone marrow matched Chloe’s.
It wouldn’t be a problem if Olivia’s health was good enough when she donated the bone marrow.
But Ethan noticed that Olivia had been quite thin in the past six months. She also lacked energy, and she often caught colds.
Chapter 318
Setting aside physical reasons, more importantly, Chloe kept hurting Olivia.
When Olivia returned the phone watch to Chloe, her stance was clearer than ever.
If Olivia kept getting involved with Chloe, she would be hurt even more.
There was Olivia’s physical and mental health to consider.
Ethan didn’t want her to get involved in the muddled waters of Aldenvine. He wanted her to heal and recover on the island.
But to Olivia, his good intentions were no different from imprisonment.
As Ethan watched Olivia leave, he was determined to speed things up.
He had a feeling that if time went by, the distance between him and Olivia would increase as well.
He wondered if he could still take the person he had abandoned back.
Olivia seemed to have turned into a different person within six months.
Ethan smoked some cigarettes outside before entering the room. He spotted Olivia taking the medicine. Gripping her hand, he asked, “What pills are you taking?”
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 …
