Kelvin hung up the phone and reported to Ethan, “Mr. Miller, Toxic Hive was able to locate the island Mrs. Miller was on. Mr. Carlton thought we were the ones that gave him the information. Mrs. Miller is with him now. Should we go pick her up?”
“No need. It takes time to test the bone marrow. I want to verify something.”
Kelvin didn’t know what Ethan was trying to verify. But he guessed it was important because Ethan set Olivia aside when Olivia was usually the first thing on his mind.
Ethan was in a bad state. Kelvin could see the sweat on his head, and the hands on the steering wheel were trembling.
Kelvin wondered who Dr. Cohen was. She was able to get such a huge reaction out of Ethan.
Was it an old flame of Ethan’s?
Ethan was acting too irregularly tonight. He had been driving very recklessly. Even Kelvin had to grab hold of the handle to stay in place.
The car got back to the urban area after a short while. Kelvin quickly thought about the places Ethan might go, but he didn’t expect Ethan to go to the cemetery.
It was in the middle of the night. Was he going to visit his mother’s grave?
The rain was pouring down heavily. There was also thunder and lightning in the sky. Kelvin could see the gravestones as they drove by.
Even a battle-hardened man like him felt a little creeped out.
Ethan stopped the car at the side of a path. Kelvin quickly got out of the car with an umbrella to try and shield Ethan from the rain.
Ethan didn’t bother with the umbrella. He looked like he was entirely in a trance. He stumbled his way up the hill. The soil had been soaked by the rain and turned loose.
Every step Ethan took created a puddle of mud. It was sl*ppery and dirty.
Ethan walked quickly. His heavy boots stepped on the puddles, causing water to splash around.
There were only a few dim lights on the hill. They shone on the gravestones, making them
seem eerie.
The wind rustled the surrounding branches, which made a rustling sound.
There was no one else around besides them. Ethan could only hear the sound of his footsteps
and his heartbeat.

He was like a beast out of control, rushing forward with reckless disregard. He finally stopped before a grave.
The plum blossoms around the grave had withered, and only the branches were left dancing in the wind. The faint street lamp shone on the picture on the gravestone. Ethan slowly crouched down and ran his fingers over the picture.
Kelvin was confused when he saw Ethan crouch before Leia’s grave. He thought Ethan wanted to verify something. He didn’t know why Ethan came to Leia’s grave.
“Mr. Miller, the gravestone is newly made. It isn’t even leaking in heavy rain like this. It’s pretty well-made.”
Kelvin tried his hardest to think of what Ethan could be trying to check. Leia’s grave was destroyed by Olivia and later fixed. He didn’t understand why Ethan would come to ch*ck on the grave at this hour.
Even though Ethan was already soaked, Kelvin was holding the umbrella above him.
“Mr. Miller, the rain is too heavy, and Mrs. Miller is with Mr. Carlton. Why don’t we head back?
”
Lowering his head, Ethan said slowly, “Open up
Kelvin said out of habit, “Yes, sir.”
the grave.”
He paused for two seconds, then asked, “What did you say?”
Kelvin’s heart was beating very fast. He was sure he had misheard Ethan.
A lightning bolt lit up the sky, revealing Ethan’s cold expression. He tightly grasped the gravestone’s edges with his fingers as he said in a slow and heavy tone, “I said, open up the grave and dig up the coffin.”
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 …
