Chapter 726
Ethan didn’t dare to approach Olivia anymore. He could only watch over her from afar.
“Brent, arrange a paternity test for Connor and Liv. She’ll believe me when she sees the results,” he said.
“Mr. Miller, may I say something?” Brent asked with a complicated expression.
Ethan turned to look at him.
Brent continued, “Mr. Miller, the biggest issue between you and Mrs. Miller isn’t the truth. Every one of us
knows you never touched Ms. Carlton. But the fact is you lied to and hurt Mrs. Miller. Even if you
explained yourself, would she believe you?”
Ethan thought about Olivia’s intense reaction just a moment-ago. “She won’t believe me.”
“That’s right. Even if you showed her the report, she would only think you were manipulating the results
with your authority. Bluntly put, Mrs. Miller’s condition is very bad right now. You shouldn’t do anything to
further upset her.” Brent’s words were very straightforward. Ethan’s existence would only agitate Olivia.
At the same moment, the doctors came out of the room.
The man in the lead was the head of the oncology department.
He didn’t care about Ethan’s status and yelled at him with a stern expression, “What the hell were you
thinking? Do you want the patient to die sooner? Why would you repeatedly upset her? She had just been
stabilized, and you made her vomit blood so soon.”
“Doctor, how’s my wife?” Ethan still asked.
“How is she? If this keeps up, she’ll only have a couple of weeks left. If you want her to die in a couple of days, you should definitely upset her more.” Dr. Tucker didn’t pull any punches. He was the uncle of Keith’s girlfriend. He had heard bits and pieces of what happened to Keith.
He knew Ethan exercised his authority to force Keith to study abroad. Then, he neglected his own wife and caused Olivia to be in so much pain.
Dr. Tucker’s anger flared up when he saw Ethan. So he was especially harsh with him.
It was the first time Ethan didn’t get angry, even after such a harsh scolding.
Brent tried to ease the tension. “Dr. Tucker, what treatment should we proceed with for Mrs. Miller?”
“Treatment? It’s too late for that. It would only put more burden on her b*dy. We can only do our best to
take care of her.”
Keith cleared his throat. “He was just worried about Olivia, sir.”
Only then did Dr. Tucker change his statement. “The tumor in her brain is only at Stage One. We can get it under control with targeted drugs. But the one in her stomach is too big. Any mistake would cause ma*sive internal bleeding. We can’t operate on it. At the moment, all we can do is focus on anti- inflammatory and pain relief measures.”
Ethan finally spoke up, “What if we proceed with chemotherapy?”
“Chemotherapy? Do you think she’s in any shape to go through that?” Dr. Tucker glared at Ethan.
“I can’t just stand by and watch her die. I can’t do it. Please schedule her for chemotherapy as soon as possible.” Ethan wasn’t sure if he could find Colin in two months. He had to keep Olivia alive as long as possible to buy time.
Keith glared at him. “Mr Miller, she’s already suffering so much. What else do you want from her?”
Ethan said solemnly, “Dr. Rogers, I know you said that in Liv’s best interest. But my desire for her to lead a happy life is only going to be stronger than yours.”
“Can’t you just let her have peace in the final days of her life?” Keith said.
Ethan smiled bitterly. “Sorry, I can’t do that. Please schedule her for chemotherapy as soon as possible.”
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 …
