Chapter 329
At the hospital, Chloe was out of danger after some emergency medical treatment. But she looked frail and pitiable.
Chris held her hand that wasn’t hooked to the IV drip and looked at her sorrowfully. Chloe’s health had worsened immensely in a short amount of time.
“I’m sorry, Chloe. It’s my fault Marina turned out like that.”
He didn’t know the whole story, but he was sure Marina had done more horrible things than he imagined. Chloe wouldn’t have been so angry otherwise.
Chloe smiled weakly. “It’s okay, I’m fine. You don’t have to blame Marina. She’s just a kid.”
“She’s the mother of two children. She’s not a child anymore. I’m aware of what kind of person my daughter is. She has always blamed you for what happened to her mother.”
Chloe grasped Chris’ hand. “I can understand how she feels. She lost her mother at such a young age. It’s natural for her to
hate me. I don’t blame her.”
“Sometimes, I wish you’d at least get angry at her. I’d feel better that way. I’ll ask her to stay away from now. You have to take care of your b*dy. I’ll find the bone marrow you need.”
Chloe had heard from her doctor that a compatible bone marrow hadn’t been found yet. She said with a self-deprecating smile, “I have no regrets. You’ve been good to me. I’m very happy. Even if I die
Chris covered her mouth. “Don’t speak nonsense. Modern medicine is very advanced. You’ll be fine.”
“I only have one wish right now. I want to see Olivia and apologize to her in person.”
When she was being resuscitated, Chloe thought a lot about what happened in the past. Most of her thoughts were about Olivia, especially her childhood days.
“I’ve failed her too many times.”
Chris held back his tears, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll find her.”
Ethan only left the office after night had fallen. Someone approached him from the shadows.
“Mr. Carlton.”
Ethan had expected Chris to show up sooner or later. It was inevitable.
Chris looked fatigued, the usual vigor he had was gone. “Ethan, let’s talk”
“Come this way, Mr. Carlton.”
They got in the car where there was less noise, and Ethan drove the car himself. At that hour, they were able to avoid t Ethan was able to drive without a hitch. The bright street lamps illuminated the roads.
“You must know why I’m here.”
“Yeah, I do.”
They didn’t beat about the bush. Ethan parked the car near the beach as no one could track them here. There was the sound waves in the distance paired with the salty sea wind
Ethan handed Chris a cigarette, and he didn’t refuse.
Puffing out smoke, Chris said, “I know you’ve found Olivia.”
Ethan didn’t deny it. “I knew I couldn’t hide it from you”
Ethan knew what he did at sea wasn’t public knowledge, but Chris would come to know about what happened
Chapter 329
“You’re bold. You even alerted the Maritime Safety Administration. I heard you did something big not long before that under the guise of counter-terrorism. But you were using your power for personal purposes.
“Even though your achievements in the military are phenomenal, you shouldn’t have gone all out for a woman. The old guys up top were displeased.”
Ethan raised his head to look at Chris. “Would you have done it if you were me?”
Chris looked into the distance and didn’t deny it. “I would. I understand why you did it, so I hope you understand why I’m asking you to hand her over to me.”
“You want her bone marrow?”
“I know it’s unfair to her. But I wouldn’t ask this of her if I had any other options. I don’t have a choice now. Chloe’s condition is getting worse.”
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 …
