Chapter 1084
When Ethan got to the hospital, he saw Joel looking very troubled. "How is he, Mr. Tucker?" Joel shook his head. "It's not looking good. All the best doctors are looking at him. The bullet hit right below his heart. It is a very dangerous spot. "We can still keep him alive with the bullet in him, but if there are any mistakes when extracting the bullet, he will die on the spot. He is currently unconscious.""Do we know who shot him?""We don't know yet. Keeping Mr. Mason alive was our top priority. Yale just got here, too.""With Mr. Mason in this state, he wouldn't be able to see him even if he came." Ethan snorted. "That's true. I just wanted to tell you one thing. There is still one person in the world that could perform that surgery. "You have to find him before Yale. It would help you greatly in the election if you save Mr. Mason's life.""Who is it?""The famed cardiovascular specialist Lionel Gatsby."Ethan frowned. "Isn't he retired? How do I find him?""You ha

Brent's face lit up. "That's right! We almost forgot about Mrs. Miller. The heart surgery she performed last year is still being praised now. "So, we still have a chance even if Yale has already found Dr. Gatsby.""If Yale has already made preparations. Then, Dr. Gatsby must be with him already. "He wouldn't make a move so quickly. So he will probably show up with Mr. Gatsby tomorrow.""You should get Mrs. Miller then, Mr. Miller. We'll beat them to it."Ethan drove to the hotel. He figured Olivia should still be sleeping at this hour. When he went into the room, no one was there. Olivia was nowhere to be seen!The room was still as messy as they left it the night before. Something was off.Given Olivia's personality, she wouldn't have allowed her clothes to be scattered on the floor. She would've tidied up the place if she wanted to leave.There was only one explanation. She left in a hurry.Ethan called her number, but her phone was turned off. Why would she leave
Chapter 1086
Who could it be at this hour? Olivia didn't have friends in Aldenvine. She also didn't have any food deliveries or parcels. She tapped her phone and saw a familiar face. It was Ethan. How did he find her here? Was he a bloodhound?"Ethan is here, Jack. I'll go see what he wants.""Okay."She had a deal with Ethan. He wouldn't come looking for her here without a good reason. Something was wrong. Ethan wouldn't do anything to harm her, so she would know what was up after they met up. Olivia opened the door. "Why are you …"Her sentence was cut short when Ethan rushed forward and hugged her. Olivia was shocked by his warm embrace. "What's wrong with you?""I'm so glad you're okay. Your phone was turned off. I have been searching for you the whole day."Olivia suddenly remembered that she had turned off the phone she used to contact Ethan because she was performing surgery and didn't want to be interrupted."I mean … I was just gone for a day. You don't need to overrea

"Yeah. This is my temporary home in Aldenvine.""You aren't planning on moving, right? This entire house is designed based on your preference. You picked out this furniture yourself, right?"Ethan knew her well. Olivia nodded. "Yeah. I was born and raised in Aldenvine. I wanted to have a home here."That was why she spent so much money to acquire the medical equipment. She wanted to be prepared for every occasion. Ethan felt bad when he heard that. "Liv. I'm sorry."She used to have a home. When the Fordhams went bankrupt, their residence was seized. Even if it was reacquired later, it was no longer her home. The house she lived in when she married Ethan was filled with unpleasant memories. Marina lived in Collington Cove before, and the apartment belonged to Keith. This was the only house she bought herself and never belonged to anyone else. She picked out everything in the house personally. "It's all in the past. I'll make you some pasta."Olivia quickly headed to

Olivia didn't know if she should be amazed at how accurate his intuition was."Ethan, what does that have to do with you? I'm not hiding anyone. But even if I was hiding a man, you're in no position to intervene."Her cold demeanor reminded Ethan of his response back when she asked about his relationship with Marina. He said something similar to brush her question aside. This time, Olivia gave him the same response. That was true. They were no longer in a relationship. They weren't even lovers. The night of passion was something he had to beg for. If they really wanted to lay everything bare, the truth would only hurt Ethan. He had no one to blame but himself. That was how he treated Olivia in the past. It was retribution for his actions. Olivia caressed his face and said, 'Ethan, you should behave while I am still attracted to you physically."She was like a seductive but venomous snake hissing in his ear. "Or else, I can end this ridiculous relationship whenever I want

Olivia was acting like a cunning businesswoman. She did away with all her naïveté and kindness. All she thought about was her personal interests and gains.Ethan sighed. "Liv …"All the other children grew up by her side. He had never fought with her for their custody. Connor was responsible for inheriting the Miller family. "I can give you anything except Connor. I know you feel bad for him. But the Miller family needs an heir. I need a successor.""If you don't give him to me. I won't help save the person. Think about it carefully."Ethan suddenly leaned over and started to kiss her roughly as if punishing her for not helping him.His beloved Liv had already grown to be able to stand her ground and negotiate with him.He didn't want to make things difficult for Olivia. So, he let go of her after a deep kiss."Alright, Liv. I won't force you if you don't want to do it. You can pretend I never brought this up tonight."Ethan went back to his seat. "You're right. I can't cha

This time, it was different. There were already many people waiting at the door before she got out of the car. There were bodyguards, doctors, and a teary-eyed Krystal.Krystal tugged on Joel's sleeve and asked, "Would this doctor really be able to save my father, Mr. Tucker?"Olivia looked at Ethan and said coldly, "She's here, too?"Ethan explained, "She's from the Heath family as well.""Don't tell me she's Mr. Heath's daughter." Ethan rubbed his temples. "Their situation is complicated. But yes, she is Mr. Heath's daughter. He is my teacher of sorts."Olivia snorted. "So you two were childhood friends."Ethan was a little troubled. He didn't know how to talk about these confidential matters. Then, someone opened the door. Krystal rushed over. "Doctor …"Her expression changed when she saw that it was Vanessa in the car. She could never forget the green-eyed girl's scary expression, like she wanted to kill her. The girl had an angelic face but a venomous personality

Olivia remained calm. "Alright. I can't do it."Since he had interacted with Olivia in the past, Joel knew her personality well. He quickly tried to de-escalate the situation."Ladies, please. Krystal, you should make yourself scarce for now. You don't know Vanessa that well. The surgery she performed last year was harder than this one. "That time, she removed a bullet from the heart. She managed to save that patient.""That has to be a lie. How could the person still be alive after being shot in the heart?" Olivia sneered. "You won't get it if you don't even know anything about medicine. Do I have to explain every detail to you? Even if I did, you still won't understand. "Mr. Tucker, since I'm not welcome here, I won't be performing this surgery anymore. You should just get someone else to do it.""Please don't. You're already here. You should go take a look. What if you can save him?""Sure."Olivia followed Joel into the intensive care unit. She had already seen the repo
