Chapter 335
Brent found it strange that Chris hadn’t come looking for Ethan in the past few days. “Did Mr. Carlton give up?”
“He’ll never give up until the last moment. He knows I won’t budge. He’s probably thinking of other ways.”
Ethan was sure no one could locate Olivia if he didn’t go to the island. She must be safe.
Brent handed him a bulletproof vest and said, “Mr. Miller, you should wear it just to be safe. The knife wound on your ch*st hasn’t completely healed yet.”
“Okay.”
Ethan looked at the cloudy sky. The sunlight was completely blocked out. The world looked dark and gloomy.
Brent, who was driving, said irritably, “It’s so stuffy. It’s probably going to rain soon. Rain just dampens the mood.”
“It’s good to have some rain. It’ll cleanse the filth from this city.”
Ethan couldn’t help but call Olivia when he thought about what he was about to do. It was how things used to be. Her voice would calm him down.
Olivia had just finished feeding the ducks. She had been chased around the coop by a goose three times.
She picked up Ethan’s call while panting. “Hello?”
“What happened? Why are you out of breath?”
“A goose almost pecked me. I’m tired.”
Olivia sat under a tree, panting heavily.
A professional cameraman on the island would take pictures of her daily and send them to Ethan. A smile appeared when he pictured Olivia being chased by a goose.
Even his voice became gentler. “Remember to rest well. Nurse your b*dy back to health.”
“What happened to you, Ethan?”
Olivia recalled that he would ridicule her whenever she told him she wasn’t feeling well.
“Liv, we can still have kids in the future.”
Ethan hung up.
Olivia fanned at her reddened cheeks with her hands.
She figured that Ethan must have gone mad after hearing what he said. Did he think they could still get back together?
Olivia watched as the sun set on the horizon. Another day was nearing its end.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a helicopter approaching. Olivia thought Ethan must be out of his mind to call her right before he arrived.
The helicopter landed at the hel*pad near her. She began to walk toward the helicopter. She thought his conscience had kicked in and he finally decided to take her away.
Although she despised him, she would put up with him if it would get her back to Aldenvine. The cabin door opened as the rotors blew dust into the air. Amidst the intense gust, Olivia’s expression changed when she saw the person who came out of
the helicopter.
It wasn’t Ethan. It was Chris.
“Mr. Carlton,” Olivia greeted him with a stiff expression.
Chris flew over as soon as he could. He looked fatigued. “We meet again, Olivia. I told you there were some things I had to tell you in person.”

Olivia said coldly, “Did Ethan send you?”
Chris thought about the card. The island was in such a desolate place that no one but Ethan could’ve told him about the location, or so he thought.
He said, “Yes, we made a deal. If you agree to donate your bone marrow, I’ll allow him to cancel his engagement with Marina. I know you’re the woman he loves.”
He then added politely, “Olivia, I also want to make a deal with you. Help me save your mother and I’ll agree to let you and Ethan be together. Marina will never bother you guys again. What do you think about that?”
Olivia thought Ethan was despicable for doing this. He handed her over for his selfish desires.
Olivia said with rage, “What gave him the right to decide my fate?”
She thought Ethan was as cocky as ever.
Chris saw that Olivia had gotten emotional, but he still wanted to talk to her peacefully. “Don’t be mad, Olivia. I just have something to tell you.”
Olivia didn’t want to waste another second. So, she ran.
Chris sighed and said, “Olivia, why must it be like this? I don’t want to hurt you.”
He raised his hand, and several tall and well-built men went after her.
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 …
