Chapter 426
Ethan wasn’t just putting up a show. He did feel bad. That was why he tried his best to a*sist with Jeff’s recovery.
Ethan had never taken care of anyone like this before, but he was doing his best to take care of Jeff.
He worked from home for an entire week and spent most of the time caring for Jeff.
Jeff’s condition improved significantly.
He was barely able to speak in the beginning, but then he became able to speak clearly and communicate properly, albeit slowly.
His face also looked fuller than before, and his complexion was significantly better.
Jeff held Ethan’s hand and said, “Ethan, don’t spend all your time with me. You have to pay attention to Olivia, too. Don’t neglect her.”
“Don’t worry, dad. I won’t neglect either of you. I take care of you and Liv.”
Olivia felt disgusted whenever she heard him say things like that.
Ethan would ignore her expressions and have the medical experts treat Olivia’s hand daily after he tended to Jeff.
During the treatment, Olivia would space out and look out the window. She was like a soulless doll
that allowed the doctor to do whatever he needed.
Be it acupuncture treatment or applying medicine, she didn’t care.
Ethan was an extremely obsessive person. The peacefulness they had at the moment was only on the
surface.
Olivia could already predict that when Leia stirred up trouble, she’d be the one to get it.
Ethan had her trapped because he had Jeff wrapped around his little finger. Olivia had no choice but
to stay.
She was worried about Avery, to whom she promised a kidney. She wondered if he was okay.
Olivia sat on the bedside, her feet dangling in the air after the doctor left. Ethan kneeled down and helped her put on her sl*ppers.
Ethan casually said, “The doctors said he is recovering quickly. He’ll be back to his old self in about a
year.”
Olivia didn’t respond, but Ethan continued, “I’ve already restructured the company. After the paperwork is done, you can go to work if you’re bored.
“All the people that used to work there are back. I told dad about this, and he was quite pleased.”

Emotions flashed in Olivia’s eyes. Looking at Ethan coldly, she said with a mocking smile, “Did you tell him how the company went bankrupt?”
Ethan was at a loss for words.
“Do you think you can make me happy by doing these things?
“Your sister still has Jodie and her child’s blood on her hands. Jodie was carrying a Fordham baby!”
Ethan’s face paled. He reached out and held Olivia’s arm.
His voice quivered as he said, “Liv, I know many things she did cannot be undone. Even if you kill Leia now, you wouldn’t be able to bring Jodie back to life.”
“I don’t care if Jodie can’t come back to life. I just want to kill Leia because I hate her!”
“Liv, I promise I’ll never let Leia hurt you again. She harbors animosity against you because she’s not in her right mind.
“I’ve already hired psychiatrists to treat her. Isn’t making her regret her actions and apologizing to you better than killing her?”
“Apologize?”
Olivia grabbed Ethan’s collar with her good hand and yelled, “What would words of apology change? Can her apology bring Jodie back to life?
“Can it make the pain I’ve been through disappear? Let me tell you this, Ethan. Unless you imprison me for life, I’ll expose Leia’s crimes to the public when I get the chance.
“I’ll let everyone know that Leia is a murderer and her brother covered up for her!”
Ethan wrapped his arms around Olivia when he saw her enraged expression.
He said, “Sorry, Liv. It’s all my fault. This shouldn’t have happened to you.”
“You’re the one that made me this way! I hate you, Ethan Miller! You and your sister deserve to burn
in hell!”
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 …
