Chapter 418

Ethan looked at Leia, who was in his arms. She was heavily wounded, but she was smiling. She looked like a proud general that had won the war.
“Ethan, I won.” Leia fainted in his arms after she said that.
Ethan was panicking. He knew he had lost Olivia forever.
Avery didn’t expect Olivia to be hurt.
Colin’s eyes became bloodshot as he said, “Olivia, your arm!”
“I’ll be fine, Colin.”
“How could this be fine? You’re going to be a doctor. This injury will cost you your career.
Colin tended to her injury urgently while lamenting her fate. Colin became a doctor because Olivia inspired him to do so, but Olivia ended up like this.
“A doctor…” Olivia lay on the bed and smiled weakly.
Olivia did want to be a good doctor back then, but Ethan dashed her dreams and made her submit to a life as a housewife. And this time, he destroyed her hand. Her life was a mess because of him.
She could still feel a piercing pain in her heart when she thought about Ethan. The pain would spread from her heart to every corner of her b*dy.
“I don’t want to be a doctor anymore. Never again,” Olivia said slowly as she closed her eyes.
Not even in her wildest dreams would she expect Ethan to be the one to stab her in the back.
Avery sighed deeply when he saw the hollow expression on Olivia’s face. He didn’t know how to comfort her as an outsider. He wasn’t related to her, but he kept having the urge to help her. Olivia was around his sister’s age. Olivia’s life was too miserable.
“Olivia, bear with it for a bit. I’ll be taking out the bullet.”
“Alright. My hand will become useless, right?” Olivia asked as she opened her eyes.
Colin paused momentarily, then said, “I’ll try my best to fix it.”
He cursed at Ethan inwardly as he dressed the wound.
Ethan wasn’t able to keep Avery from leaving. He didn’t have time to plan for that. Although Leia’s wounds weren’t fatal, she was too frail. He only realized her b*dy was in a far worse state than he had
imagined.
Night had already fallen after Leia was settled down. Ethan sat on the steps and smoked one cigarette after the other. No one knew what he was thinking, but they could see his fingers shaking uncontrollably.

Standing behind him, Brent said, “Mr. Miller, the deed is done.”
That was true. It had already been done. It had been five hours and three minutes since Ethan shot at Olivia. It had been hours, yet his hand was still shaking uncontrollably.
He loved her so much. She was his Liv. He still couldn’t believe he shot her.
“Don’t be too hard on yourself, Mr. Miller. Leia is your sister. You had no better options in the heat of the moment.”
Ethan exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled bitterly. “I shot Liv. I actually shot her. She’ll never forgive me.”
“Mr. Miller, Ms. Miller woke up.’
A spark of life returned to Ethan’s eyes. He dusted himself off and stood up. Countless emotions surged within him when he walked to Leia’s side and saw how weak she was.
Leia smiled at him brightly. “Ethan, thanks for coming in time to save me.”
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 …
