Chapter 720
Ethan almost dropped the bowl he was holding.
He tried to explain, “Liv, it’s not what you think. Marina and I, we didn’t…”
Olivia cut him off. “What story are you trying to spin this time? Let me just ask you. Who did you save
when we both fell into the water?”
That was the only memory that came back to her. Thinking about it made Olivia feel a piercing pain in her
heart.
Ethan knew he couldn’t hide the truth anymore since she was able to ask that question.
“Liv, I had no choice back then,” he replied.
Olivia said calmly, “Even if you have some perfectly justifiable reason, you still abandoned your wife to
save someone else. I’m sorry, but I can’t feel for you. I just feel bad for myself. You were right. These
memories should’ve remained forgotten. Having them is a burden.”
Ethan didn’t know how to explain his actions to such a clear-minded Olivia. No matter what he said, Olivia
wouldn’t believe him anymore, even if he were telling the truth.
In her eyes, he was already a pathological liar.
Janice glared at Ethan and took the bowl of soup from him. “Liv, ignore him. He’s just an obstinate fool.
I’ll feed you. Eat more so you can recover quickly.”
“Recover quickly? Mom, I’m not going to recover from this.” Olivia chuckled weakly. She wasn’t a child.
She knew the chances of her survival were extremely slim.
Besides, she was in a terrible state at the moment. She probably didn’t have long to live.
“Stop saying stuff like that. Modern medicine is very advanced now. There’s nothing the doctors can’t
treat. You don’t have to scare yourself. Everything will be better.” Janice comforted Olivia patiently.
After all, the psychological burden of knowing how serious their condition was would sometimes severely
reduce the life span of the patient.
Olivia looked calm, like she had been through too much to be stirred up. She didn’t argue with Janice about the possibility of recovery. She simply drank the soup with her head lowered, docile like a kitten.
Ethan thought Olivia would throw a fit and demand answers. He didn’t expect her to be so calm, and
almost eerily so.
After Olivia finished the soup, Ethan wanted to talk to her, but she said, “You’ve been up the whole night. You should go home. Besides, I don’t want to see you.”
Ethan was at a loss for words.
Olivia said the cruelest thing with the calmest tone. There wasn’t even a shred of hatred in her eyes.
Janice noticed the dissonance between the two of them. But Olivia needed to remain calm, or it might
make her condition worse.
“Go home and change. The blood on your clothes just looks so disturbing,” Janice urged.
Ethan thought about it and agreed. He did look like a mess.
Ethan saw Jessica dozing off on the couch. Darrell had also received treatment due to the blood loss
because he was forced to kneel on the gla*s again after regaining consciousness.
Darrell had been kneeling for the entire night and his knees were almost completely numb.
Seeing that Ethan had returned, Jessica quickly approached him and said, “Ethan, please let Darrell off
the hook for now. He’s your brother, after all.”
Ethan, who was still in a bad mood, glared at her. “He asked for it.”
It was unclear if Ethan was talking about himself or Darrell. After all, he was the reason everything had
turned out the way it was.
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 …
