Chapter 356
Ethan said slowly, “You were friends with him? Why haven’t you told me about that? How else are you related to him?”
Anger flared in Ethan’s eyes.
Olivia was upset. “Are you and Marina the only ones allowed to be childhood friends? Why can’t I be childhood friends with Colin? I didn’t tell you about that because I didn’t see the need
“He was just a playmate. Just because you have malicious intent doesn’t mean he’s the same.’
Smirking, Ethan said, “You think I’m malicious and he’s good?”
The mocking smile made Olivia feel uncomfortable. But with everything said, Olivia retorted stubbornly, “Am I wrong? You cheated on me while you were married to me, and you even have kids with her. If you’re not the bad guy here, no one else would be.”
Ethan started to breathe heavily from the rage he felt. “Olivia, do you even know what kind of person he is? And what he has done?”
“What could he possibly do?” Olivia recalled her phone call to Colin that didn’t go through and the fact that Ethan got into trouble last night. She wondered if Colin was also dragged into this
matter.
Ethan pointed to his chest, saying, “You tricked me into letting him go on the boat. I complied because I didn’t want to hurt you. What about him? He shot me here the moment he got the
chance to do so.”
Confusion flashed in Olivia’s eyes. Ethan added, “You want to ask why I’m still alive, right? Well, I would’ve been dead if I wasn’t wearing a bulletproof vest.
“And if he hadn’t tried to play it safe by aiming at my heart and had shot my head instead, I’d
either be dead or in a coma right now.”
Colin’s warm smile appeared in Olivia’s mind. She muttered, “How could this…’
“You might think he’s an innocent young man. But have you ever thought about it closely? He was the first person to find you even though no one else could. Why would he know where you
were?”
“I…”
“And you also mentioned that he has a wound on his back.”
Olivia anxiously replied, “Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. How could that be fake?”

“Did you know that it was an all-out gunfight at the hospital that night? Who would use a
knife in a situation like that?”
“A gunfight?” Olivia echoed. Gunfights were something that only appeared in movies for regulår people.
“Seems like he also told you that four groups of people were trying to take your father. But he didn’t tell you how many casualties there were, huh?”
Olivia asked with quivering l*ps, “H-How bad… was it?”
Ethan took his phone out and showed her the security footage of what happened.
The scene was chaotic. Even though the guns were fitted with silencers, Olivia could still see the bullets hitting people and blood splattering everywhere. People were falling one after the other.
The victims included doctors, nurses, patients, and family members. Even cleaners weren’t spared. Everything happened so quickly that no one could react. No one would have expected such a brutal gunfight to take place out of nowhere in this peaceful age.
By the time people started to process what was happening, others were already lying in pools of blood. Some people didn’t even have the time to scream.
The victims fell one after another way quicker than what movies showed. None of them were prepared. In a matter of seconds, they were already down.
The white walls were splattered with blood, and people were sprawled all over the corridor. Some were still moving, but others were already dead.
Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes. It was way worse than what she’d imagined. It was hell on earth.
She finally understood why the authorities wanted to keep the incident a secret. If news about the incident got out, it would definitely shock and terrify the public.
Ethan asked coldly, “Let me ask you this. Do you still think it’s possible that he was stabbed in such an intense shootout?”
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 …
