Chapter 719
“Mr. Miller, chemotherapy is like fighting fire with fire. The treatment would destroy cancer cells and
regular cells indiscriminately. Mrs. Miller’s condition is very serious now. Cancer cells paired with the side
effects of chemotherapy might be the end of her …”
Ethan lowered his head and said hoarsely, “That will never happen. Liv won’t die!”
Chris didn’t know how to comfort Ethan. Their only option at the moment was to pray for a miracle.
After a night of emergency treatment, Olivia’s condition stabilized, but she was still in bad shape. She was
very frail. The doctors repeatedly advised against chemotherapy because she might not be able to take it.
Ethan looked at an unconscious Olivia. He didn’t know what to do, but he had no choice but to hold off on
chemotherapy.
Suddenly, Kelvin rushed over to Ethan. “Mr. Miller, bad news! I heard something had happened to Mr.
Avery.”
“What?”
“It seems like his illness acted up. He was sent to a private hospital in the middle of the night. The
Fordhams are keeping him well-protected. We don’t know his current situation, and we’re unable to get in
contact with him.”
The situation just kept getting worse. Even Avery was in trouble.
“What about Colin?” Ethan asked.
“We still haven’t located him. Don’t worry, Mr. Miller. We’ll let you know as soon as we get more updates.
Chris rushed over. “Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller is awake.”
Just as Chris finished speaking, Ethan was already walking toward Olivia’s room.
Olivia was lying in bed. Her face was pale and she was extremely frail.
Janice also came into the room.
As strong as she was, she started crying when she saw the state Olivia was in. “Olivia, I’m so sorry. I didn’t
mean to lie to you
Olivia had just regained consciousness.
The smell of chemicals filled her nostrils and the pain in her stomach was temporarily gone. She felt like
Everything that happened the night before seemed like a dream. She was still dazed.
She met Ethan’s bloodshot but concerned gaze and asked softly, “Terminal-stage cancer?”
Ethan crouched next to the bed and held her hand. He felt a lump in his throat. “You’ll get better.”
Olivia smiled weakly. “So it wasn’t a dream.”
“Liv, I’m sorry. I …” Ethan wanted to explain, but Olivia withdrew her hand from Ethan’s grasp.
She said, “You don’t have to explain. I’m not curious, nor do I want to know. I’m tired.”
Ethan conspired with the entire family to lie to her. How truthful could his explanation be? Olivia no longer
had the energy to discern the truth from the lies.
Janice wiped her tears and changed the subject. “That’s true. Liv, I’ll tell you everything after you get
better. I swear, no more lies. You must be hungry. You should eat something.”
Olivia didn’t make a fuss and was very cooperative. “Okay.”
She was indeed hungry. It was probably because she had been feeling too much pain recently. And she
dreaded the pain.
Ethan quickly brought over the soup he had prepared. Meanwhile, Janice rolled the bed up and placed a
pillow behind Olivia’s waist.
Ethan blew on the soup and made sure the temperature was right before feeding it to Olivia.
However, Olivia didn’t open her mouth.
Ethan asked worriedly, “Do you not want soup? What do you want to eat?”
Olivia said calmly, “It’s not that I don’t want soup. I just don’t want you to feed me.” She stared into
Ethan’s eyes filled with worry and said slowly, “I feel disgusted by your presence.”
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 …
