Chapter 716
She had actually gone for chemotherapy once!
That was something Ethan didn’t know about.
His voice was hoarse as he said slowly, “That happened in the few days you were taking care of her?”
“Yes. She came to the hospital every day back then. She was working multiple jobs to take care of Mr.
Fordham. She was growing more frail by the day. And when she was diagnosed with cancer, she didn’t
even have anyone to sign the authorization for the chemotherapy,” Keith replied.
He continued, “She needed to leave the hospital the day after the chemotherapy. That was when her b*dy
was at its weakest. Her head would have been spinning, and she would have been bedridden too. But she
lied and said she had a friend to care for her.
“When I finally found out, she was already bedridden, alone, and couldn’t even get up. After a few days,
when the side effects of chemotherapy had pa*sed, she immediately went through with the divorce.”
Even Keith was shaken by the things he was saying. “Olivia was resistant to anesthesia and needed a
mediport inserted. The doctors had to cut open her arm to insert the mediport.
“Not long after the first chemotherapy session, I saw her injure her hand. Do you know how dangerous it
would be if the mediport had fallen off?”
Ethan could imagine what Olivia was going through as Keith was retelling the events. He finally knew why
Olivia looked pale and weakened whenever he saw her.
And the laughable thing was that he thought she was just putting up an act to stop the divorce.
She wasn’t in the best shape when Connor fell down, but she leaped toward him to save him anyway. Who
knew how long she was lying in the snow?
Keith added, “She was still so young. Her wound had just closed up, and they had to cut her up to take out
the device. Do you know how much pain she was put through?”
Ethan didn’t know, because no matter how much she was hurting, what he did next devastated her even
more.
He was the one who caused her life to be full of hardships. He was the one who sent her into despair
when she was already dangling on the edge.
She was completely spent because of him, and he was the one that destroyed her completely. No wonder
everyone else was telling him to treat Olivia better.

But he never listened.
The door of the emergency room finally opened.
But Olivia was still unconscious.
Ethan quickly went up to the doctor. “How’s my wife doing, doctor?”
The doctor removed his face mask and said sternly, “What the hell have you been doing? The patient bled so much, which meant she should’ve displayed symptoms before. Why have you only brought her here now? We already took some samples. We’ll know the specifics after the biopsy.”
Looking at Ethan’s pained expression, the doctor added, “Based on my experience, the patient is probably in Stage Four. You have to be prepared for the worst.”
Ethan staggered backward.
Brent quickly came up and stopped him from falling over. “Be careful, Mr. Miller.”
The doctor quickly left. He still needed to perform examinations on Olivia and provide treatment.
The cold winter air flowed in and Ethan felt a chill consuming him.
He stared blankly at the nurses as they pushed Olivia into the next room for examinations. It was like he
was frozen in place.
After a while, Ethan raised his head to look at Keith. “There’s still hope for Stage Four cancer, right?”
Ethan grabbed Keith’s hand like his life depended on it. Keith looked at him without a shred of pity, only indifference. He said slowly, “If she had gone through with treatment two years ago and recovered over five years without any complications. She had a high chance of recovering. But her condition is so much
worse now.
“Most stage four patients only have a couple of months to live. In some extreme cases, they would only
have a few days.”
Ethan’s l*ps quivered. “What did you say? A few days?”
Keith pulled his hand away. “When it comes to Stage Four, the cancer cells would have spread
everywhere. There’s no point in going through any treatment anymore. It’s out of our hands now. No one
can save her.”
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 …
