Chapter 713
The first thing Ethan did was run toward Olivia to hold her, preventing her from falling down. However,
blood kept oozing out of her mouth.
The whole Miller family was sent into a frenzy. They surrounded Olivia and said, “Call the doctor! Why isn’t
he here yet!”
Ethan hugged Olivia’s frail b*dy and tried to wipe the blood away from her l*ps. However, the blood
stained his hand and Olivia’s white dress.
Ethan began to sense that something was off. “Liv, what’s wrong?” he asked.
Ethan’s question stunned Keith, who hadn’t been around for the past two years. He asked, “So, you still
don’t know what illness she’s suffering from until today?”
Ethan shifted his gaze onto Keith. “Illness? What illness?”
Instead of answering Ethan, Keith helplessly glanced at Olivia. “You said that you wouldn’t regret making this choice, yet this is the person whom you love with all your heart?”
Olivia didn’t know what kind of past she shared with Ethan, but she was aware that this wasn’t what he
had told her before.
He and the Millers had joined hands to weave a beautiful lie for her. Meanwhile, it seemed like Keith knew her past.
Olivia wanted to reply to Keith, but the pain made it impossible. Like a vine, it crept and shrouded her other organs.
Her whole b*dy hurt.
Olivia parted her l*ps, but she couldn’t speak. Instead, she knelt on the floor and coughed up blood again.
The pool of blood shocked Marina so much that she didn’t dare to speak. Harold and Janice didn’t know what was going on either.
Ethan didn’t dare to touch Olivia. His walls of rationality-which he was always so proud of-crumbled in that moment.
He grabbed Keith by the collar. “What’s happening to her?”
Keith thought that Ethan genuinely loved Olivia, but the current situation told him otherwise.
Keith flashed a mocking smile. “Mr. Miller, you could’ve found out what illness she’s suffering from with a
Two years.
Those little details began flooding Ethan’s mind. Keith didn’t keep in touch with Olivia for over a year, so it meant that it was something that happened during their divorce phase.
Ethan recalled the fact that the skinny Olivia had kept wearing thick coats every day.
Her voice filled his mind.
“No, I’m not lying. I’m just feeling weak because I’m sick…”
“Ethan Miller, do you hate me so much?”
“So… will you be happy if I’m dead?”
“Nothing. I stayed in the hospital for a few days because of a cold.”
“Ethan Miller, I can pay the price with my life.”
“If I’m suffering from a terminal illness or whatnot, will you let me go?”
The mention of a terminal illness; the withered flowers on the table; Olivia’s pale complexion; and the
night she almost died due to a high fever were vivid memories to him.
The epiphany struck Ethan, and his b*dy couldn’t stop trembling. Still, he was holding on to the hope that he might be wrong.
“W-what illness is she suffering from?” His low voice was shaking too.
Keith stared at the tall and handsome man, who wielded the highest possible authority.
Ethan loved Olivia a lot, but he was also the same person who had been hurting her the most.
Keith didn’t know how to describe Ethan anymore.
Looking sideways at Olivia, he let out an apologetic smile. “Sorry, Olivia. I can’t keep it a secret anymore.”
The uneasiness grew within Ethan as his fingers slowly curled into fists. “What … What’s wrong with Liv?” Keith announced with emphasis, /Stomach cancer.”
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 …
