Chapter 439
Under Everly's cover, Olivia entered the ultrasound room.On the surface, she was accompanying Everly to get an examination. But in reality, she was the person who lay on the bed and rolled up her clothes.The female middle-aged doctor was very gentle. "Don't worry, I'll examine the baby thoroughly for you."Smiling, Everly said, "We owe Calvin another favor now."The cold probe slid around the surface of her tummy. Olivia was both nervous and anxious.She had been in ill health for the past six months. She even had chemotherapy six months ago, so she didn't know if it would affect the child."Doctor, how's the child developing?"The doctor chuckled. "They're still too small, so I can't be sure yet. "Still, the gestational sac is at a normal size so far, and there are no signs of ectopic pregnancy. "Everything is normal, so don't worry too much.""Thank you, doctor.""You're welcome. Remember to maintain a good mood. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and take folic acid ev

If Everly were the one saying those things, she would look like she was spouting nonsense. It would all sound like lies.But when Olivia was the one saying it, it rang truer than solid cash.She had the air of a noble and elegant young lady. She looked like she came from a respected family, which was a far cry from the talkative Everly.Everly gave her good friend a thumbs up in her heart. She had to give it to Olivia, who had painted a good image of her in front of her boss right away."You're too kind, Ms. Fordham. I heard Hilton mention about you as well. As expected, seeing is believing."Ms. Fordham, you're such a noble character. It's hard to imagine someone as brash as Hilton would be friends with you."Everly glared at him. She didn't mind if he praised Olivia, but she would have none of his insults.Walking up to Olivia, the man extended his hand. "My name is Henry Synder. Nice to meet you."He had extended his right hand. Olivia glanced at him, feeling a little trou

There was a thud on the other end of the line as if something heavy had hit the ground. Then, Ethan's voice sounded in disbelief. "What did you just say? Pregnant?""She's taking folic acid. If she's not pregnant, why would she take something like that?"Ethan gritted his teeth. "Are you sure you're not seeing things?""Come on, I know I grew up overseas, but I can still read Arlandian. I know how to read folic acid."The call ended at that moment.Henry frowned. He wondered what had happened with Ethan, for Ethan didn't make sense these days.Everly dashed toward Olivia, stuffing the folic acid into the latter's hands. "Don't forget to add this to your vitamins.""Thanks.""No need for thanks. You have to give birth to a healthy baby, alright?" Everly patted Olivia on the shoulder.Olivia nodded. As if thinking of something, she asked, "No one saw you, right?""Don't worry, I'm very fast. This packaging is so fancy that dumb man won't understand what it is at all."Olivia

Olivia instinctively put her hand on her tummy. But then, she feared that Ethan would notice it, so she hastily retracted her hand.But her movements only attracted even more attention. Ethan saw all that.As he slowly walked toward her, Olivia's heartbeat quickened.When Ethan's hand touched her back, she felt as if everything just exploded. She had goosebumps all over her. Fear spread from the spot he touched to her entire body.She suppressed her panic, trying her best to look calm."What are you doing?""You seem to be scared of me, Liv."Olivia gulped. Then, she said in a cold voice, "It's disgust, not fear. Ethan, has anyone ever told you that you're annoying? "Since you're going to marry Marina soon, stop messing around with me!"Ethan slowly bent over, his authoritative air looming over Olivia.He whispered in Olivia's ear, "Liv, you're very nervous."It wasn't a question; it was a statement.A bead of sweat rolled down Olivia's forehead. Even she wasn't sure why

Ethan had only uttered one word, but Mona's knees went weak. Dropping to the floor, Mona said, "Mr. Miller, I'll tell! I'll tell you everything!"Ethan frowned, thinking that Mona gave in a little too soon. He hadn't even pressured her."Go ahead.""I felt that it was a pity to throw away the roses we trimmed from the garden, so I sold them at night for a dollar each."I didn't mean to be greedy. I just need money, and my grandmother has gotten sick, too. I'm sorry, Mr. Miller. I won't do that again."Ethan frowned even deeper. "That's what you wanted to say?"Mona wiped her tears. "There's more. I'll tell you everything. "When I was trimming the trees, my hand slipped, and I accidentally trimmed the heart shape into an apple."Mr. Miller, please don't question my work etiquette. I was just a little feverish that day."Holding his fingers against his forehead, Ethan had a look of annoyance on his face. "What nonsense are you talking about?"I'm asking you to tell me about

Mona gave Ethan a weird look. She could see that Ethan was being very considerate and nice toward Olivia recently.He was about to marry Marina, but everyone in the Manor of Roses could see that he was sincere toward Olivia.Mona was surprised that Ethan didn't even know about his wife's pregnancy symptoms."I heard from Ms. Fordham that she didn't have much experience back then. "The nausea lasted for three months, and the baby didn't seem to be developing well."In the early stages of pregnancy, women should get progesterone injections every day. "My mom got those injections, too, and she said it's very painful."But Ms. Fordham looked forward to that child very much. There wasn't any fetal heartbeat even after more than 40 days. "The doctor advised against keeping the child, asking her to get an abortion."But she begged the doctor to wait another week. She was terrified in those few days. "It was a good thing that she persevered. The fetal heartbeat was detected after

Ethan had heard many people say the same thing. They all wanted him to treat Olivia better. But in the end, he still forced Olivia into her current situation."Alright, I understand. She's wary of me, so she doesn't want me to know that she's pregnant. "You don't have to tell her anything; just take care of her."If there's something odd about her, just tell me. I will do my best to meet her needs in the Manor of Roses."Mona replied, "Understood, Mr. Miller. I knew that your love for Ms. Fordham was real."The simple-minded Mona didn't even realize that she had fully betrayed Olivia."You may leave now."After the door of the study closed, Ethan put a hand to his forehead. He dialed Chris Atkins' number with his other hand."Mr. Miller, did something happen to your wife this late at night?" Chris was already used to it by now. He knew that if Ethan called him, the matter would usually concern Olivia.Staring at the streetlights in the distance, Ethan was silent for a few

Olivia frowned. She wondered what Ethan was up to again, running over to her and saying nonsensical stuff.Stretching out her right hand, she wanted to push his suffocating body away. But when her fingers touched his body, she felt something wet.It was blood.She was very sensitive to such smells now.Turning on the lights, Olivia saw the blood seeping into his white shirt.He didn't leave the villa. Olivia didn't understand how he would turn out like this."Who did this?"Ethan didn't seem to mind it at all. Instead, he reached out to touch her face."Liv, I hurt your hand, so I'll make it up to you with my arm. Don't be mad at me anymore, okay?"There seemed to be an abnormal thirst in his gaze. Olivia was speechless."Are you out of your mind?"Ethan didn't deny that. With bloodied fingers, he touched Olivia's face. "Yes, I'm crazy. Liv, you can do anything to me as long as you don't leave me.""Even kill you?"Blood streamed from his fingertips, dripping along her
