Chapter 457
Connor's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'mommy'. Gripping the seatbelt with his tiny hands, he mumbled, "Mommy, Mommy."Now that things had come to this point, Ethan no longer wanted to hide the truth about Olivia's child back then.He wondered if she would be glad to know that the child hadn't died and that the child had been alive and well. Perhaps she wouldn't hate him that much then.While Ethan was driving, his phone rang. He answered the call. Brent's stern voice sounded over his Bluetooth earphones. "Bad news, Mr. Miller.""What is it?""We fixed the hacked surveillance cameras. Master Connor's fall wasn't an accident. "Someone pushed him. If Master Connor wasn't agile enough to stop rolling, he might have gotten a worse ending."Ethan felt his heart skip a beat. Marina was transferred to a private hospital. The hospital had built a huge spiral staircase for aesthetic purposes.If Connor rolled from the top of the staircase to the bottom, the results would b

When Connor heard that, he immediately began to cry. He shouted, "Mommy, want! Want Mommy!"Connor was a good child, and he rarely cried. But when it came to Olivia, he would cry sorrowfully.Ethan sighed helplessly. "One last time, then. We have to leave right after seeing Mommy, okay?"Connor didn't understand what Ethan meant. But he was happy as long as he could see his mother. There were still tears on his face as he nodded obediently.Reaching out, Ethan wiped away the tears in the corners of Connor's eyes. He also wiped Connor's saliva while he was at it. "Come, let's go see Mommy."The dim yellow lights blinked around the inflatable tent, looking like little stars.Connor should have been fast asleep at that hour, but at that moment, his eyes were wide in excitement. Before they even arrived, he wriggled out of Ethan's arms. Then, he ran toward the tent with his short legs.Olivia didn't feel like sleeping. She was sitting on the rug, counting the stars in the sk

Olivia opened her mouth to argue. But then, she remembered that Connor didn't understand these things at all. So, there was no point in explaining.Moreover, she only wanted him to live peacefully and grow up in bliss.Soon, Connor closed his eyes. He leaned against Olivia's chest, sleeping soundly. There was even a sliver of saliva on the corner of his mouth.Reaching out, Olivia wiped it away. She gazed at him with a gentle look.She wondered if the baby in her tummy would look like Connor when they were born. After all, they were both Ethan's children."Liv."In the silent night, Ethan's voice sounded a little hoarse and weary as it broke the silence.Olivia's expression turned cold. She didn't say anything, waiting for Ethan to continue.Ethan cleared his throat. After thinking for a long while, he finally spoke. "Connor likes you, and I know you like him too. You can treat him like your son."Olivia snorted. "Marina's leg is broken, so she can't take care of childre

Olivia was used to Ethan's coldness. She had thought that the scariest part of Ethan was his cruelty.But at that moment, she realized something. The straightforward attacks were nothing compared to the smile on his face and the affection in his eyes. Those were even scarier!Also, she was just guessing. She didn't dare reveal that she was already pregnant."Ethan, I won't love you. I never will."Ethan didn't mind. "We still have a long way ahead of us, Liv."Olivia didn't argue with him. She curled up, not daring to provoke Ethan too much.She wouldn't want to argue with someone who had lost his mind. If she ever did, she was probably tired of it all or complaining that he was the one sick of life instead.The only thing she could do right now was focus on development. She would wait until Jeff had recovered and when the baby in her tummy had grown up and was born successfully.Then, she would try to live a little longer.Before that happened, she couldn't get involv

Olivia's dreams were mostly about children. There was a period when she would dream of a beautiful field of flowers every day.In her dreams, a child was walking up to her with a pretty flower crown in his hands. Then, he smiled as he placed the flower crown on her head.Olivia relaxed her eyebrows. "Thank you, Connor.""Mommy, pretty." Connor was elated, and he smiled from ear to ear.Olivia felt like Connor would become a gentleman when he grew up. After all, he was already so gentle at a young age.Cupping Connor's face, she kissed him lightly on the cheek. Once again, she wished that he was her child.Olivia patted Connor's knees, dusting away the grass and dirt that stuck to them.Out of the corner of her eyes, she spotted Ethan standing on a hillside in the distance. He was probably worried that he would ruin her mood if he went over to them.So, he decided to just watch from a distance.Connor sat down next to her, watching the water running in the creek.If the

Olivia trembled as she looked at Ethan with a confused expression."What do you mean?"Ethan sighed. "The incident last night wasn't an accident. Someone targeted Connor and pushed him from the top of a tall staircase."Olivia's expression changed. "Who did it?""We have too few clues at the moment, so we can't be sure for now. "From his build, we can gather that he's not a common folk. He might be a professional assassin."So, I'm taking Connor and Erina to a safe place."Oliva asked tentatively, "Are they related to the Toxic Hive?""I don't think so. Toxic Hive is an organization skilled in medicine. They mostly kill with drugs, just like with … Ms. Parker."But the people who attacked Connor are different. They were after his life. They pushed a young child from the top of a spiral staircase."It was a good thing that Connor grabbed the edge and stopped rolling. If not, the consequences would be unthinkable."Olivia was frightened when she heard that. She subconsciously

Before daybreak, Olivia and Jeff were sent away. Even Olivia had no idea where they would be taken.When they arrived, she found herself in an old courtyard. She thought for a moment, realizing that Ethan didn't own a house like his under his name.By the looks of it, for security purposes, Ethan had found a safe place. No one would've guessed that she was here.Jeff was quite fond of this place. It looked a lot like the Fordham residence.Getting out of the car, Jeff stood up and walked a few steps without his cane.When Olivia saw that, she went forward to help him. "Careful, Dad."A happy look flashed across Jeff's amicable face. "Olivia, I can walk by myself now.""Yes, Dad. We're not in a hurry, so take your time. Don't trip and fall."Olivia felt fulfilled when she saw Jeff getting better by the day. When his condition had stabilized, she could ask him about the truth back then.Every night, she went to sleep with thoughts of those secrets in her heart. Even in her d

Ethan received a call from Mona. Even though he hadn't visited Olivia in a while, he was aware of Olivia's every move.Mona didn't know what he was thinking. She simply thought that he was watching Olivia silently. He was protecting Olivia as if he were the best ex-husband in the world."Mr. Miller, Ms. Fordham wants to get a pregnancy checkup."A pair of wedding rings lay on Ethan's desk. He caressed the large diamond with his fingers, his expression unfathomable."Alright, I'll have it arranged."Mona sighed in relief. "I knew you care about Ms. Fordham the most, Mr. Miller. I have no idea why she's wary of you even when it comes to her pregnancy."With a dark smile on his face, Ethan ended the call. He placed the ring back into its box.Getting up, he walked up to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The sky was gray, and it looked like it was about to rain.It was just after work hours. People flooded the streets, and cars formed a continuous stream on the road.The tall
