Chapter 338
The woman placed a wet cloth over Olivia's mouth to stop her from screaming. Olivia struggled hard, shaking her limbs and twisting her body. Her movements caused the chains to make rattling sounds. Olivia didn't want to die. She had a lot of things she needed to do, but her struggles were futile. Even though her wrists and ankles were scraped raw, she couldn't break free from the metal chains."Olivia, it's your biggest mistake to have ever met him."Olivia shook her head with all her might. She could only make muffled sounds with her mouth. "It won't hurt. It'll all be over soon."A tear rolled down from the corner of Olivia's eye, but the woman ignored it. Olivia could only watch as the syringe got closer and closer to her. It was almost touching her skin. Suddenly, the woman's phone rang. She wanted to ignore it, but the ringtone annoyed her. "What do you want? I'm busy," the woman said furiously. Her expression soon changed. The needle that was about to penetrate Olivi

This area in the suburbs outside the city had been turned into a natural reserve some years ago. All of the inhabitants were moved a long time ago, so it became deserted over the years. Some old abandoned buildings could be seen through the rain. There were also some crows on old electric poles. Some noises could be heard amongst the thunder. It was like someone was setting off fireworks in the area. The noises were deafening. Continuous gunshots followed the noises. The sound of gunfire disrupted the peace of the woods. The underground base was thrown into chaos, and the speakers were blaring "Warning, danger!" on repeat. Some giant screens revealed the situation outside. The base had been surrounded without their knowledge. Some drones were laying waste to the cameras outside. Static began to show up on the screens.All the doctors in the labs were alerted. They came out and began pacing, saying, "What's wrong? What's happening?"Most of the people in the base were bookwo

Dr. Cohen was trying to reach the area with explosions. She didn't leave even though she received the message to evacuate. Grabbing her hand, Jennifer said, "You should leave. It's dangerous to keep going.""I can't. He came in person. I'm worried. Leo hates him and will definitely take the chance to ambush him."Her palms were sweaty, and her body was shaking. But when she rushed to the scene, she saw Ethan get shot and fall to the ground."No!" She shrieked. Jennifer grabbed her hand, wanting to take her away. "Don't go over there. We have to evacuate!"But the woman had already lost it. She ran toward Ethan's direction, paying no mind to the gunfire or the explosions. All she had her eyes on was the man on the ground. She had finally come to his side after traveling great distances. She was a clean freak, but she kneeled on the muddy ground. Her tears, mixed with the rain, fell on Ethan's face. She said in a shaky voice, "No, you can't die. I won't let you."She was abo
Chapter 341
Kelvin hung up the phone and reported to Ethan, "Mr. Miller, Toxic Hive was able to locate the island Mrs. Miller was on. Mr. Carlton thought we were the ones that gave him the information. Mrs. Miller is with him now. Should we go pick her up?" "No need. It takes time to test the bone marrow. I want to verify something."Kelvin didn't know what Ethan was trying to verify. But he guessed it was important because Ethan set Olivia aside when Olivia was usually the first thing on his mind. Ethan was in a bad state. Kelvin could see the sweat on his head, and the hands on the steering wheel were trembling. Kelvin wondered who Dr. Cohen was. She was able to get such a huge reaction out of Ethan. Was it an old flame of Ethan's?Ethan was acting too irregularly tonight. He had been driving very recklessly. Even Kelvin had to grab hold of the handle to stay in place. The car got back to the urban area after a short while. Kelvin quickly thought about the places Ethan might go, but he

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
Chapter 345
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
