Chapter 728
Olivia’s gaze was cold. “It was his idea, right?”
Keith replied, “Yes. He didn’t want to stand by and do nothing. The cancer cells in your b*dy are spreading
fast. This was the only option.”
Chemotherapy was a high-stakes gamble. It would have a strong inhibitory effect on the tumor if it were successful. But if it didn’t work, it would speed up Olivia’s demise.
The worst thing was that her death would be painful as she suffered from the side effects of
chemotherapy.
Keith licked his l*ps and explained, “He wants you to live, Olivia. I’m also hoping for a miracle. Just like two years ago. I said you only had three to six months left to live. But the results of your chemotherapy were very good, and your condition stabilized. Maybe this time…”
“Keith, I know you mean well, but… I don’t really want to live anymore.” Two years ago, when she said that, she was sad. It was because life was hard on her, and she couldn’t see the light at the end of the
tunnel.
But at this moment, Olivia was completely calm. It was like she had already been through everything, as if
she had attained enlightenment. There was no desire, longing, or emotions in her eyes.
“My father is dead, my family is bankrupt, and I lost my babies. Even my marriage was built on lies. I don’t
have a reason to live anymore,” she said.
“Olivia, don’t say that. Life itself is precious. You shouldn’t give up on yourself just yet.”
“Keith, it’s not that I’m giving up. I’m just letting life run its course.”
Olivia refused to go along with the chemotherapy. She even started to drive the nurses out.
Suddenly, Ethan appeared at the door with a paternity test report in hand. “If you don’t have a reason to
live, I’ll give you one,” he said.
Olivia didn’t want to see Ethan. She didn’t know what tricks he was trying to pull this time.
Ethan handed her the report. Olivia opened it and saw it was a paternity test for her and Connor.
Connor? It must be the child that looked exactly like Ethan.
The report showed that she was the mother of Connor.
Olivia took one look at it and threw it away. “Ethan Miller, you’re willing to resort to all sorts of trickery just
for someone like you to falsify a report, right?”
Brent was right. Even though there was a report, Olivia hadn’t believed him.
“Liv, I’m not iying to you about this.”
“Alright. If he is indeed my child, why would you save Marina instead of me? Why would you tell me my baby died?”
Ethan crouched by the bed humbly. “I have reasons for doing so, Liv. All you need to know is that Connor is our son. It’s true.
“Please fight through this illness for his sake, okay? You won’t want our child to grow up without a mother, right?”
Olivia wasn’t moved by Ethan’s sincere words. Instead, she looked at him coldly and said, “Too late. You shouldn’t have lied to me when I trusted you. You’ve betrayed my trust, and I’ll never believe you again.”
“Liv, what do I need to do for you to believe me? I’ve never slept with Marina. You’re the only woman I’ve been with. Please believe me.”
Olivia felt her head throb and a scene flashed in her head.
In the scene, she was kneeling on the floor. Her face was pale as she pulled on Ethan’s pant leg. With tears streaming down her face, she said, “Ethan, I didn’t push Ms. Carlton. Please believe me. Please!”
But how did Ethan respond?
He had looked down at her with indifference and said, “Olivia Fordham, you shouldn’t have done that.”
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 …
