Chapter 604
On the screen, Mara was shown lying on the snowy ground. Her face was blurred out, so Olivia couldn’t make out her
expression.
Mara was still wearing that dress. Before this, she was causing a ruckus because some water had gotten on it. But now, the dress was covered in snowflakes.
Mara was fine just moments ago. Olivia could hardly believe that she died without any warning.
Olivia’s sleepiness was instantly gone. She tapped into the article and then read it in detail. She saw that Kelvin was involved. She remembered that Ethan seemed to have given Kelvin some orders before they left. Now, Mara was dead, and Kelvin had been caught at the scene.
Olivia had an anxious look on her face. Pushing the blanket away, she ran outside.
When she opened the door, she ran headfirst into a man’s chest.
Raising her head, her gaze met Ethan’s concerned eyes. “You’re not wearing shoes again. Where are you going this late at night?”
“Ethan, I saw the news. Is Kelvin okay?”
“He was there at the crime scene, so things have gotten a little tricky. I’ve already sent someone to look for evidence.”
Olivia’s fingers held his collar lightly. She said in a small voice, “Um… What did you tell him to do before we left?”
When Olivia’s gaze met Ethan’s, she looked away in embarra*sment. Ethan lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
“Tell me, Liv. What sort of person do you think I am?”
Olivia met his gaze. After thinking for a moment, she spoke up, “You’re gentle and considerate. You’re very nice to me. You’re a good man.”
Ethan’s thumb gently caressed her l*ps. Olivia felt a little uncomfortable with the odd sensation on her l*ps.
His gaze was dark, and his tone was low as well. “You’re wrong, Liv. I’m nice to you only because I love you. Everything I do is centered around this goal.
“Of course, I’m not a bad man, but I’m not a good man, either.”
Olivia’s heart raced. “Then Mara-”
“It wasn’t me. I won’t kill her just for something so petty. I felt that there was something off about the janitor. That’s why I
asked Kelvin to look into it.
“In the end, Kelvin was too late. He happened to appear at the scene where the janitor murdered Mara.”
Ethan did this to remind Olivia not to idealize him too much. In the future, if something related to Olivia happened, he might do things even crueler than this.
Olivia sighed in relief. “Do you know that janitor?”
“He looks very much like a murderer on the run. People like him are very skilled at disguises. Be careful if you meet someone like him in the future,”
Olivia nodded. “Alright. By the way, there’s one more thing…”
Turning around, Olivia took out the name card she had placed in her bag. “This was given to me by a man named Troy Fordham.
“He said that I saved his sister or something, but I don’t remember anything anymore.”
Ethan took the card from her hands. Reaching up, he caressed her head. “It’s okay if you don’t remember. He’s no one important anyway. You only did him a small favor.”
Ethan didn’t want Olivia to get too involved in the matters of the past. He didn’t want to stimulate her too much in case her
memories came back.
They would be leaving Aldenvine in a few days anyway. He had already arranged a medical practice course for Olivia that would last a few years. Olivia wouldn’t be going back to the country anytime soon.
In the future, a brand new life awaited Olivia.
Before they left, he still had one thing to do.
He had to clear all the obstacles for Olivia.
This time, he would be the one taking the initiative.
After Ethan comforted her, Olivia finally went to bed.
But for some reason, as soon as she closed her eyes, Mara’s face appeared in her mind.
“Can’t sleep?”
“Yeah. I just feel that all this is so unbelievable.”
Ethan gently caressed her back. “Some people just have it coming. She messed with a professional a*sa*sin, which means that someone had paid for her to die. This has nothing to do with you.
“Back then, the janitor kept telling you not to get involved with this matter. He must have set up a plan to kill her early on, and he didn’t want you to ruin it.”
Olivia muttered to herself, “Who could it be?”
“Remember, Liv, human hearts are the dirtiest things in the world. They’re also the things you should trust the least.”
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 …
