"Where are you going, Liv?" Ethan quickly chased after her.Lydia rolled her eyes and exclaimed, "Is this woman crazy?"Olivia ran to the room next door. "I want to see Mr. Fordham."Bryce knew who Olivia was, so he opened the door without resistance. Olivia quickly ran into the room.Avery was sitting on the couch with a calm expression. He heard the door open and saw Olivia coming in."It's been a long time, Olivia."Olivia jumped right into business. She asked, "Mr. Fordham, does that necklace belong to your sister?""Yes, I came here because I heard that something that belonged to her was going to be auctioned. I wanted to see if it would help me find her. Even if it wouldn't, I didn't want her birthday gift to be in another person's hands."Olivia's suspicions had been confirmed. Her deduction was correct. The corpse was Avery's long-lost sister.Olivia looked at Avery's sickly face. She didn't know how to break such cruel news to him."What's wrong, Olivia? Do you have anything y

Avery's hands started to shake when Olivia mentioned a dead body. His complexion was already bad, but his face became deathly pale."Could you be mistaken?""I don't think so. The earrings were huge and very pretty. She was wearing designer clothes. Oh, she wore a really expensive-looking sapphire ring."Olivia saw that Avery's expression was worsening. She comforted him, saying, "Mr. Avery, maybe someone took your sister's jewelry. It might not be as bad as we think it is."Avery lowered his head to look at his phone. He didn't hear what Olivia said. Olivia saw that Avery's fingers were shaking. He was scrolling frantically on his phone before stopping at a picture. "Is this the ring you saw?"The ring in the picture was clearer. The sapphire was clear and exquisite. "This is the one. When I saw the body, it had already been in the water for some time. I couldn't tell what she used to look like. I felt terrible for her and wanted to inform the authorities when I got out of

The helicopter landed on the spacious platform. When Olivia stepped out of the aircraft, she could feel a heatwave from all directions. Ethan held her hand carefully and said, "It's hot outside. You should wait for me in the helicopter.""No need."Olivia was determined to get off the helicopter. Avery had also gathered a lot of men. He tried to suppress the fear in his heart as he asked, "Olivia, where did you see the body?"Olivia found the boat she got on when she fell into the ocean from memory. "It's that one. The body was still there then. But it's been six months. I'm not sure …"Before she could finish her sentence, Avery was already running toward the boat. He disregarded Bryce's words."Be careful, Mr. Avery. Don't forget that you're not in good health." Avery didn't listen. He had been looking for his sister for so long. Now that he had a lead, it was about her death. Avery, who was usually calm, felt like his legs were about to give way. His mind was in disarray.

The Fordham Family was internationally renowned. But it was still harder for Avery to get things done outside his country. Ethan still had more accessible resources in Aldenvine.Ethan quickly mobilized some people to perform tests on the body. Avery didn't move at all as his gaze drifted into the distance. Olivia brought him a glass of lemonade and said gently, "The results will be out soon, Mr. Avery. You don't have to worry. "It might not be what we thought it was. Have some water." Avery came back to his senses. He hoarsely said, "Can you tell me how you saw her?"Olivia recounted the story of how she escaped to the boat. She talked about hiding in the same pool of dirty water as the body. She even mentioned seeing the fish swimming from the body's eye socket. The expressions of both Ethan and Avery turned serious. Ethan had known about her escape, but he didn't know how hard it was. Avery's eyes became bloodshot. He clutched his knees with his hands. The fabric o

Olivia remembered when she felt the baby's movements during her first pregnancy. She was as happy as a child, and she eagerly shared her joy with Ethan.That day, she sent many voice messages and videos to him, but she didn't receive any reply.When he finally returned at night, she happily went up to him and told him, "Ethan, the baby moved. It's real. I felt the baby moving. Come on, try touching it."She was only three months pregnant back then, and her tummy wasn't protruding too much. Ethan only glanced coldly at her before leaving.She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped onto her, and the coldness seeped into her heart. At that moment, she finally realized that not everyone was as enthusiastic as her.Later, the child grew bigger, and their movements became more obvious. But she never told Ethan about it again.Back then, Ethan would either spend almost the entire day outside or be away for extended periods. He didn't notice the changes in her body at all.

Ethan especially asked a doctor about it. He learned that pregnant women would have very unstable moods during their pregnancy.He knew that Olivia held grudges against him. So, he refrained from appearing in front of her for months. He did it so that she could take good care of her pregnancy.The female corpse incident today had struck a fragile chord in Olivia's heart. Her tears refused to stop falling.The babies in her tummy seemed to have sensed her sorrow, for they began to move around in her tummy.Olivia hastily stopped sobbing. Ethan wiped her tears with a hot towel, speaking in a gentle voice. "They're strangers in the first place, and they don't have anything to do with you."You don't have to be sad. If she knows about it, I'm sure she'll thank you. "You were the one who brought her away from that place so that she could reunite with her family."Sniffling, Olivia said sullenly, "Perhaps it's because we have the same last names. When I learned that she's Mr. Avery's

As soon as Olivia woke up, her first reaction was to quickly back away. She even covered her tummy with her left hand.Ethan saw how wary she was of him. He felt his heart shattering into a million pieces."Calm down. I only wanted to touch the children."Olivia didn't believe it. She spoke viciously, behaving like a hen protecting her chicks. "Get out.""Okay. Don't get so worked up, Liv. I'm leaving right now."Olivia hissed.Then, she frowned a little. Ethan paused halfway through his way out. Then, he hurried up to her and asked, "What's the matter? Are the children kicking again? I felt them moving a lot just now.""It hurts …"Olivia put a hand to her tummy. Ethan was startled by the sudden occurrence."Don't be afraid. I'll get a doctor here to examine you right away."Fortunately, they had the equipment necessary for examinations. The medical team immediately started examining Olivia.Olivia gripped Ethan's hand. Beads of sweat covered her forehead.She recalled tha

They moved to a safe place. After making sure that Olivia wouldn't hear them, Ethan began talking."Is there something wrong with the children?"He had taken out a cigarette, but he didn't light it. There was a gloomy expression on his face."Oh, no. Don't worry, Mr. Miller. The children are safe. I just wanted to remind you that Mrs. Miller has a record of heavy bleeding. "Also, her uterine lining is relatively thin, so she is prone to miscarriages."Seeing that Ethan hadn't said anything, the doctor continued. "Pregnant women's emotions are very important as well. Mr. Miller, make sure to take good care of Mrs. Miller."Avoid stimulating her during her pregnancy. If not, when her body gets stressed, it might harm the pregnancy. If that happens, then Mrs. Miller …"Cody glanced at Ethan carefully. The cigarette in Ethan's hand was already bent out of shape. He said in a low voice, "Go on.""Mrs. Miller is pregnant with twins. So, her pregnancy will be much more difficult co
