Chapter 614
The incident just now was simply too shocking, so the police quickly arrived at the scene.
Some pa*sersby who joined in the commotion were terrified by the turn of events. They all ended up getting arrested.
Olivia had to go to a hospital as soon as possible for treatment. Thus, she wasn’t called over to record a statement right away.
Fortunately, the area of the wound wasn’t too large. She had also carried out emergency treatment on time, so the damage was minimal.
After Olivia received advanced treatment, Madam Burgess finally relaxed. She let out a heavy sigh.
“It’s a good thing that you reacted quickly, Mrs. Miller. If not, it would’ve become a tragedy.”
Olivia patted Madam Burgess on the shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. We’re fine, aren’t we? Also, you shouldn’t try to protect me at dangerous times like that.
“If the acid had splashed onto you, the consequences would’ve been unthinkable.”
At the mention of the matter, Madam Burgess was furious. “Who knew that the guy would be so cruel? I thought that it was paint or something. I never expected it to be sulfuric acid.”
“Those people came prepared, so you can’t predict their movements with common sense. You must’ve been so shocked today.
“Don’t say that, Mrs. Miller. It’s my fault …”
“It’s over now, so let’s go home. Prepare something delicious for me tonight. I want to eat two huge servings to calm my nerves,” Olivia teased.
“Okay.” Madam Burgess wiped her tears.
She had been alive for quite some time, but she still felt a chill run down her spine when she recalled the incident.
If there had been even one mistake in the incident today, Olivia’s life would’ve been ruined.
As they left the hospital, the bone-chilling wind blew at them from all directions. Thanks to that, Olivia’s mind cleared a little bit.
A man dashed up to Olivia, pulling her into his embrace.
Ethan’s voice rang out from above her head. “Are you okay, Liv?”
Olivia almost couldn’t catch her breath as Ethan hugged her tightly.
She sensed that Ethan’s heart was racing, and his b*dy was trembling a little as well. When she met his gaze, she found his eyes filled with worry.
To be honest, after everything that happened, Olivia felt uneasy and anxious inside.
But all those emotions disappeared with this embrace.
It felt as if her world was raining heavily, but when he arrived, the whole world lit up.
She recalled the stories Madam Burgess told her about Ethan’s childhood. People like him probably felt the least secure.
Reaching out, Olivia patted Ethan on the back. She coaxed him gently like she would a child.
“It’s okay. I’m fine now, aren’t I?”
Ethan’s gaze turned cold as it focused on the gauze covering the back of her hand. Olivia said with a smile, “It looks serious, but it’s nothing much. Only a few drops got on my skin.”
“I’m sorry, Liv.”
“It has nothing to do with you. You didn’t want me to be troubled by the rumors online. I was the one at fault. I should’ve
listened to you and stayed at home.”
Olivia wrapped her arms around his waist, nuzzling against his neck. “It’s alright, it’s in the past now. I’m alive and well. Let’s go home now. It’s so cold outside.”
It was only then that Ethan’s cold expression softened. “Alright, let’s go home.”
He carefully led Olivia to the car and then opened the car door for her. “Hold on, let me make a call.”
“Okay.”
After Ethan closed the door, his expression instantly turned cold as he turned around. Taking out his phone, he walked to the side to make a call.
Olivia couldn’t figure out what he was saying. She only felt that his figure looked extra cruel.
“I don’t care what you have to do. Get the person out for me. Yes, just tell him that we won’t hold him accountable.”
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 …
