Chapter 549
“Liv, I’m not trying to side with whoever. But this is not the Toxic Hive’s way of doing things.
“If Leia really wants you dead, it’s highly possible that she will find a way to drug you. Would she have chosen this method?
“As you know, the head of Toxic Hive is Helen. After Mr. Carlton pa*sed away, she brought the Toxic Hive out of Aldenvine, including Leia. It has been months since they left.” Ethan held Olivia’s hand.
With a gentle expression, he said, “The person who bought off The Black Ravens is not only rich, but he knows the contact them.

“He’s decisive and simple with his way of doing things. He’s ruthless. Liv, did you think about who you have offended?”
to
She shook her head. “You know my past very well. I got married and was pregnant before I graduated from university. Who could I possibly offend?
“Not to mention that it’s a powerful fellow that can spend 100 million dollars so easily to put a bounty on my head.”
He frowned. “I suspect that it has something to do with your real family. You and Ms. Parker took a DNA test when she suffered from leukemia and found out that you’re not blood-related.
“Someone’s trying to stop you from digging further into the matter, so he hired a*sa*sins to kill you once and for all.”
That was the only possibility.
Olivia had a hunch that her real family was a distinct existence. The thought of that gave her the courage to live on with her life.
Now that she was shouldering her babies’ and Mona’s lives, Olivia was determined to settle the score at all costs!
“Will The Black Ravens keep dispatching a*sa*sins to kill me?”
“Logically speaking, no. The fact that they dispatched 100 men is enough to tell how resolute they are. But they’ve underestimated our men, who are not ordinary b*dyguards you see out there.
“That’s why they suffered a lot of casualties. Even though a minority of them escaped, they lost the majority of their people. Forget about B Ranks and A Ranks; C-rank a*sa*sins are rare. Now that they’ve failed the mission, they will evaluate the risk and give up.”
Ethan added, “Of course, that person won’t give up just because this didn’t work out. He will think of another way, but he won’t take any action for the time being. You can rest up with peace of mind.”
“Got it.” Olivia suddenly stretched her hand toward him.
Baffled, he couldn’t read her next action.
Next, she yanked him over to bring him to the bed.
She moved herself to give him some space. “Night.”
He couldn’t rest because he was worried about her, so she decided to let him share the bed.
Facing her back to him, she could sense his breathing becoming stable.
Only then did Olivia speak indifferently, “Ethan, I’m sick of this kind of life.”
“Liv…”
“I’m sick of hiding. In the end, I couldn’t protect my children and dragged someone else into this mess. Had I not been this weak, would it have been a different ending?”
Ethan hugged her from behind. Her b*dy was trembling in silence.
She was crying quietly, not wanting others to see her weak side.

“I can’t forget how Mona stood in front of me and told me to run. Her blood splattered across my face.
“And I can’t forget how Owen shielded me until his final breath. Dr. Wells is a woman herself, but she carried me while climbing the cliff. Her hands were scratched, leaving blood along the rocks.”
She was choking on her voice. “I can never forget how the babies wriggled in my belly. They must be scared.
“I promised them that I would take good care of them. But in the end, I couldn’t do anything and held so many people back.”
Spreading her palms, she looked at her hands. “Do you know? I watched them lose their lives and yet couldn’t do anything.
“At that time, I kept thinking why I wasn’t the one dying but them. If I was dead, things could’ve been different. I’m willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for their peaceful lives.”
“Liv, it wasn’t your fault. You did well.”
“Whether the opponent was Leia or anyone else, I was always the pa*sive party. I hid, but things turned out this way in the end.
“Ethan, once I recover, send me to Volt Peak Mountain.”
Ethan’s expression changed as soon as she brought up that mountain.
“No. How could you go there? Liv, listen to me. Your dream is to be a doctor, right? I can send you somewhere to pursue your
studies.”
“I wanted to save the world before this, but I couldn’t even save my babies in the end. If I can avenge them, I don’t mind staining my hands with blood.”
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 …
