Kelvin's knees became weak, and his voice sounded uneasy."About that, Mr. Miller, I'm a materialist, but I still think that we should let the deceased rest in peace. It's the middle of the night. We shouldn't disturb Ms. Miller's rest. What if she gets angry and comes out of her coffin?"Ethan wasn't in the mood for nonsense. Kelvin wasn't as sharp as Brent. "Get some people here. I want this grave opened and the coffin dug up!" Ethan ordered."Understood."Kelvin has done many good and bad things in his life, but he had never done something so immoral. As he dug up the grave, he muttered, "Don't hate me for this, Ms. Miller. I'm just the one taking orders. If you have a complaint, please take it up with your brother. "He's the one responsible for this. And he's not afraid of ghosts."Ethan didn't idle around. He was the one who dug the fastest. He ignored Kelvin's suggestion to stay out of the rain. He even started kneeling on the ground, moving away the dirt with his ha

Ethan took a sip of the water and set it aside. He didn't set the glass down properly, causing it to fall on the floor. The glass fell on the carpet, but it didn't break. The carpet absorbed the water from the glass. Brent looked at the wet carpet, finding it weird that Ethan would make such a careless mistake. Ethan stood up immediately, his face filled with urgency. Brent wondered what Kelvin could have brought back to cause Ethan to be so agitated. Kelvin came in through the rain. Several raindrops had fallen on the paper bag he was holding in his arms. He quickly handed the paper bag to Ethan with his rain-soaked arms. He was running when he came in. Water was dripping from his head, and he was still panting. "Mr. Miller, I was with the sample all the way, from the extraction of the sample to the testing and the generation of the results. I had my eyes on it the whole time. "Don't worry, no one else got their hands on it. The results this time are completely authentic

Brent sighed. "I don't know what's going through Ms. Miller's head. But I wonder how Mrs. Miller will react after learning the truth.""Yeah, Mrs. Miller doesn't know anything. She just thinks that Mr. Miller became distant because of Ms. Carlton. She tried so hard to get back with Mr. Miller for two years. She even tried to take her own life in exchange for Ms. Miller's."If she learns the truth now, who will she blame for the misfortune that befell the Fordhams? There was the downfall of the Fordham family and her father's traffic accident. She went through a lot as well."Learning the truth would be like cutting into an old wound. It would reveal the bloody and ugly past.If he had known the truth would be so devastating, would Ethan have insisted on searching for it?The Fordham family was just unlucky from the beginning. They suffered Ethan's wrath for no reason. Olivia tried to repair their relationship for two years, but they still went their separate ways. Finally, he ch

Chris' words pulled Olivia back to reality. She remembered the most crucial task at hand. It was the bone marrow test results. She quickly got off the bed. Even though she didn't want to donate her bone marrow to Chloe, she no longer had a choice. So, she got ready to donate her bone marrow. Chris turned on the lights in the room. The sudden brightness caused Olivia to wince and cover her eyes with her hands. She noticed a sealed paper bag in Chris' hand after her eyes adjusted to the brightness. With a serious expression, Chris said, "Olivia, I need to talk to you."Olivia saw his serious expression. It reminded her of a strict, disciplinary teacher. She wasn't able to discern his intent right away. She wondered if her bone marrow was incompatible. "Okay," she said. Olivia sat down, and Chris sat right across from her."Mr. Carlton, you have a weighty tone. Is my bone marrow … not compatible?"Chris sighed deeply, pushed the paper bag before her, and said, "Take a l

Chris looked at her defeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it. But she's frail right now. She can't talk for extended periods.""I'll take note of that, thanks."Chris sighed helplessly. "I have to apologize to you. I'm the one who forced you to come back. I also took your bone marrow for testing against your will."Olivia didn't have the heart to reprimand him when she saw his sickly face. "It's fine. Thank you for letting me know the truth. If not for the test, I'd still be in the dark. Mr. Carlton, since I'm not Ms. Parker's biological daughter, you'll be able to save her when you find her child. Don't be too sad.""That's true. Let's go. I'll bring you to meet her. Let's find out what happened."Chris brought Olivia to the hospital. Olivia was still reeling from all the information she uncovered. Too many things happened abruptly. She didn't even have time to think about Leia. Since Chloe wasn't her mother, she wondered about Jeff. Was he her father, or was her father so

Chloe hadn't picked up on Chris' and Olivia's expressions. She was still immersed in her memories. "I remember that I never cared about your studies or your preferences. After leaving you for so many years, I didn't even call you once. You must have hated me for leaving you when you were so young, right?""I …" Olivia sniffed, wondering if she should tell Chloe the truth. Chris hesitated for a while and sighed. "Chloe, you have to calm down. What I'm about to say is very important."Olivia wiped her tears and then helped Chloe wipe hers. Chloe was taken aback. Olivia had always been cold to her. This was the first time Olivia approached her. "What do you want to tell me?"Chris went straight to the point. "The bad news is that Olivia's bone marrow isn't compatible.""Yeah, I was prepared for that.""The good news is that Olivia isn't your biological daughter. You have another daughter. Her bone marrow may be a match.The news was too sudden and direct. It was like a blow

Chris held Chloe's hand and comforted her, saying, "Don't cry. I'll find your daughter. I'll leave you two alone. You must have a lot to talk about."Chloe and Olivia were the only ones left in the ward. They looked at each other in silence. They were still trying to come to terms with their current identities. Chloe was the first to break the silence. She held Olivia's hand and said, "It doesn't matter even if we're not related by blood. I still need to make it up to you. This terminal disease must be my punishment.""Ms. Parker, you don't have to say that. You'll definitely find a compatible bone marrow. You must rest well.""How is your dad?""He …"Olivia shook her head and said, "He's still the same."The authorities kept the incident at Jeff's hospital a secret. The public did not know what happened. Even Olivia wasn't aware of the number of casualties. "If your father wakes up, tell him I'm sorry. I've betrayed his love. He's a good man. He shouldn't have been put th

The sudden appearance of the man messed up her plans. She couldn't leave him alone. Then, the emergency room's doctor verified that the man's life wasn't at risk and that he would regain consciousness soon. It was only then Olivia left the hospital in a hurry.The man regained consciousness and was told he was brought to the hospital by a kind person. He wanted to thank the person right away."Unfortunately, the lady left after she paid for your bills.""How long has it been since she left?""She just left."The man jumped out of bed and chased after Olivia. He ignored the nurse shouting behind him, "You can't leave yet. You still need to be checked."He didn't listen to the nurse and quickened his steps. He saw a slender figure by the road. Olivia got into a cab before he could call out to her. She rode the cab to the cemetery and bought some of her grandmother's favorite flowers when she passed the flower shop. She went to her grandmother's grave first. She set the f

The room was quite dark. In order to let him sleep peacefully, the blackout curtains were tightly drawn. Olivia gently opened a small gap to allow a faint light into the room.She walked cautiously toward the bedside. If it were in the past, Ethan would probably have woken up due to his usual vigilance. But now, his eyes were tightly closed, and an empty IV bag was next to him.Olivia reached out and felt his forehead. It was burning hot. The fever hadn't subsided yet. Ethan's physical condition had always been excellent. He rarely got sick like this.It seemed like she would have to wait till later to talk to him about Leia. She was about to withdraw her hand, but her wrist was grabbed. Ethan pulled hard, and she fell into his arms. She wanted to push him away with a frown, but she heard him say hoarsely, "Don't leave."Sighing, she remained still. She stayed in his embrace. Ethan was happy, and his arms tightened around her. The scorching heat from his body enveloped Oliv

Olivia was stunned. Even when they were back on the cruise ship, Ethan hadn't kissed her so deeply. Just as she realized something was wrong, she was already trapped and couldn't break free. Ethan's limbs were wrapped around her like thick vines, giving her no time to catch her breath. Ethan might have held back when he was conscious due to his guilt. Now that he was not in his right mind, he was acting on instinct. Olivia tried to struggle but to no avail. Ethan felt grounded when he could smell her scent. "Wake up, Ethan. Do you have any idea what you're doing?"Ethan held her hands above her head, effortlessly defusing her attacks. There was a lot of sweat on his forehead. He said hoarsely, "Liv, I've never been so sure of what I'm doing. I told you, we'll have kids of our own."Kids …Oliva didn't understand why Ethan was so hung up on the subject. She just wanted to get away. "Let me go, Ethan. Don't make me hate you.""If hate can become the bond that binds us, then
