Chapter 757
In the Miller residence, the man on the bed moved his fingers. Then, he shouted, “Liv!”
Opening his eyes, he sat up and looked around him in terror.
Janice sighed in relief. “You’re finally awake. You’ve been unconscious for three whole days.”
Ethan’s memories were still stuck at the beach. He hastily asked, “Mom! Liv, did you find Liv?”
Janice’s heart ached. She didn’t dare tell him the ending.
“Ethan, please prepare yourself for this. Olivia is… She is…”
“No, that can’t be! Liv can’t be dead!” Ethan couldn’t accept the truth.
He got out of bed bare-footed and then ran outside the door.
“Liv, where are you? Are you avoiding me? Liv, stop hiding!”
Ethan searched the place, feeling desperate and lost. He walked into the bedroom on the first floor. Everything in the room remained the same as when Olivia left.
The clean bedding was neatly folded. The flowers in the vase were the ones picked from the yard a week ago. The flowers had wilted, their heads drooping as if life had been drained out of them.
Olivia still hadn’t finished the book on the desk. It lay open on the page she had stopped at previously.
Everything remained the same in the room, but Olivia was no longer there.
Ethan opened the door to the yard and went to the spot she loved the most.
He could only see a wheelchair there, along with flowers that bloomed vividly.
Like a crazed man, Ethan ran around in the garden while shouting anxiously, “Liv, where are you? I’m begging you, please just come out!
“Liv, I was wrong. I swear, I’ve repented for real. I’ll do anything just for you to come back.”
His feet had turned bloody from getting cut by the stones, but Ethan didn’t care. He didn’t know how long
he had been running. In the end, he knelt under the flower rack with tears on his face.
He looked at his finger, at the spot where the ring should have been.
Like Olivia, the ring had completely disappeared from his world.

Footsteps rang in his ears. As If he had regained hope, Ethan shouted, “Liv!”
He whipped his head around, but the person who arrived was Kelth.
“Stop looking. Olivia has already left.”
Keith played a video on his phone. It must have been footage taken from a surveillance camera on the cliff.
On the screen, Olivia took off her ring and her shoes. Then, she walked slowly into the depths of the sea.
She had never once looked back. She was resolved to leave.
When the sea covered her head, Ethan felt himself suffocating.
“Liv, you’re so cruel!”
He thought that their relationship had gotten better, but he had no idea that it was just an act Olivia carefully put on.
She still left in the end. She chose to leave him in this way.
Keith sighed. “You have to understand her. It’s already a huge feat for her to have held out for so long. The pain in her b*dy was too much, and every living second was torture. She didn’t have a better choice.”
“Why not? I’m already looking for Colin. She could’ve waited a little longer, and she might’ve been saved then!”
“Mr. Miller, I won’t deny that you love Olivia deeply. But you don’t know how to love someone at all. You’ve never considered what Olivia wanted, and you only forced her to live according to your demands.
“She was a person, not a pet. She had her own thoughts, and she would also feel sad as
“Did you know? You left scars all over her b*dy, and you reopened the wounds time and again. She was just a meek woman, yet she had suffered losses three times.
“She lost her family, her friends, and even her child. Even if her illness could be cured, how long would it take for the wounds in her heart to recover?”
Keith looked at Ethan, who was kneeling on the ground in agony. There was not a trace of sympathy in his
eyes.
He said coldly, “Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller is dead. Please accept my condolences.”
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 …
