Chapter 350
The room was quite dark. In order to let him sleep peacefully, the blackout curtains were tightly drawn. Olivia gently opened a small gap to allow a faint light into the room.
She walked cautiously toward the bedside. If it were in the past, Ethan would probably have woken up due to his usual vigilance. But now, his eyes were tightly closed, and an empty IV bag
was next to him.
Olivia reached out and felt his forehead. It was burning hot. The fever hadn’t subsided yet. Ethan’s physical condition had always been excellent. He rarely got sick like this.
It seemed like she would have to wait till later to talk to him about Leia.
She was about to withdraw her hand, but her wrist was grabbed.
Ethan pulled hard, and she fell into his arms. She wanted to push him away with a frown, but she heard him say hoarsely, “Don’t leave.”
Sighing, she remained still. She stayed in his embrace,
Ethan was happy, and his arms tightened around her.
The scorching heat from his b*dy enveloped Olivia from all sides. It made her feel uncomfortable. They hadn’t been in such an intimate position for a long time. Even if he was her ex-lover, it made her feel uneasy.
“You need to loosen your grip. I can hardly breathe,” Olivia softly protested.
Ethan wasn’t fully conscious. He didn’t hear what she said and tightened his embrace further.
He murmured, “Liv, I was wrong. I really am sorry. Please don’t leave me.”
Olivia had never seen Ethan this way-not even when they were together. Ethan was an arrogant man. He would never admit that he was wrong.
But he was like a helpless little boy now, muttering words like “I was wrong” and “Don’t leave
me”.
Olivia wanted to say something but suddenly felt his fingers creeping into her clothes.
“What are you doing?”
Ethan rolled over on top of her. He was wearing green pajamas. A few buttons were loose, revealing large parts of his skin.
Olivia could see the injury on his chest. It was more severe than she had imagined,
The wound had healed, but it left a sprawling scar on his chest. She swallowed the words she

had planned to yell and touched the scar.
She was sure he would’ve killed himself if she hadn’t cut herself loose.
She wanted to say he was rotten to the core. But when she jumped off the building, he followed without hesitation. He was willing to trade his life for hers when she was kidnapped.
But he wasn’t exactly good either. All the pain Olivia had suffered so far was inflicted by him.
Olivia didn’t even know how to describe the relationship between them.
Her cool fingers touched the scar, causing Ethan’s b*dy to heat up even more.
“Does it hurt?”
Ethan said in an upset tone, “It hurts, but it hurts more when I think about you
Olivia looked him in the eye and saw that the corners of his eyes were red. His skin was pale, so the flush stood out more.
She noticed the messy hair covering his forehead. Some strands were curled up. He no longer looked like the domineering man who always looked at her condescendingly.
He was like a kid who had been bullied
Olivia had only seen him like this once, the time when he was drunk. He rarely displayed such innocence. She couldn’t stand seeing him like this, so she looked away
“Get off of me. I have something to tell you”
“I don’t want to.” Ethan was like a rebellious kid. He had an obstinate expression on his face.
He reached out and grabbed her chin to turn her face toward him. Before Olivia could react, he
already k*ssing her domineeringly
a*s took her breath away.
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 …
