Chapter 380
Seeing that there was no one around them, Avery revealed the truth.
“In reality, the medical organization that was first established was called Peace’s Embrace. The name signified their wish for everything in the world to be embraced by peace.
“At first, this organization was established for research that would benefit humanity. It invited top scholars and specialists from various countries.
“This was so that they could focus on illnesses that humanity couldn’t cure. Examples would be cancer, AIDS, leukemia, rabies, and other diseases caused by viruses.
“But gradually, there was a disagreement within the organization.”
Olivia asked, “What disagreement?”
“Some experiments were inhumane. Experiments usually need clinical trials. It wasn’t
something you could achieve with the loss of one or two human lives.
“They hired anyone willing at a high price. Those volunteers would sign the death waiver of their own accord. But not everyone was willing to do that.
“Since they lacked subjects, they would have to get more via special methods.”
With that, Avery glanced at Olivia. “You know about organizations that profit by illegally selling humans as goods, right? They don’t care about their consciences at all.
“People who were bought through those channels usually had a strong desire to live. That’s when the disagreement happened.
“Some people thought that it was inhumane to conduct experiments on people who wanted to live. It was no different from killing them.
“The others only wanted good results. They thought that it would be worth sacrificing the lives of a few to save even more.
“Hence, after a huge argument, a part of the organization left with the extremists. Then, they established the organization known as Toxic Hive.
“Toxic Hive and Peace’s Embrace are like the sun and the moon. They had different methods of doing things. In the end, things went out of hand, and Toxic Hive didn’t care about human lives anymore.”
When Olivia heard that, she felt emotional. “I didn’t know it had such a history.”
“According to what I know, Toxic Hive has connections with officials in many countries. But your country has always strictly prohibited them.
Chapter 100
“Toxic Hive can’t officially build their nest here, so they would do it in secret at most. As soon as they were found out, they would be rooted on the spot.
“So, only a minor branch of Toxic Hive is stationed here. Its roots are also quite shallow, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Avery reached up to pat Olivia on the head, but he stopped himself in time. He was too used to comforting his sisters at home.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”
Olivia chatted with him for a while until Kelvin knocked on the door. “Mrs. Miller, Mr. Miller is
waiting for you at home.”
Olivia gave Avery an apologetic glance. “I have to go.”
“Okay.”
They exchanged contact information. Avery said gently, “I’ll contact you as soon as I get
information.”
“Thank you.”
Olivia followed Kelvin into the car. Kelvin’s expression didn’t look too good. “Mrs. Miller, do you know his identity?”
“Yes, I do.”
“He’s a prominent figure, but he invited only you for a meal. I think he has ulterior motives.”
Olivia was feeling frustrated with everything going on at that moment. So, she didn’t react too well either. “What’s the matter? Do I not have the freedom to dine with someone of the opposite S** now?”
“I don’t mean it like that. I just worry that you might be in danger. Toxic Hive is still out and about, but Mr. Fordham asked to meet you for no reason.
“I was just worried. You still don’t know what happened to Ms. Carlton, right?”
The topic suddenly changed. Olivia looked at him. “What happened to Marina?”
“Mr. Miller wanted to meet up with her to ask about some things. But on her way here, she met
with an accident. The driver died on the spot, and she was taken away.”
It was Olivia’s turn to be surprised. “Was it a serious accident?”
“Judging from the traces at the scene, it was very serious. There was a lot of blood in the backseat. Even if Ms. Carlton didn’t die, she won’t be alive for long.”
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 …
