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
By the time Olivia woke up, Ethan had already left the villa. She noticed that there were more bodyguards now.She tried to ask someone to get the car, for she had to check in on Avery.Cyril hastily said, "Mr. Miller has left orders that you shouldn't leave the villa until the day you give birth, Mrs. Miller..""But …""Mr. Miller is doing this for your safety. If you have any questions, you can ask him about it."Olivia recalled last night when the two babies were extremely active. She was startled by it, and she thought that something terrible happened to them.Ethan did this for her sake, so Olivia didn't have any complaints about this turn of events. She returned to her room while supporting her protruding belly.She had just arrived in her room when she received Ethan's call. Olivia answered it. "Hello.""The autopsy results are out. This morning, Avery brought the remains back to his home country for the funeral. "I had men escort him to the airport, so you don't have
Soon, the whole medical team arrived. "Mrs. Miller, we'll proceed with the emergency treatment right now. Please leave for now."Mona hastily took the stunned Olivia out of the room. Looking at Olivia, who had a terrible look on her face, Mona was anxious as well."Mrs. Miller, don't worry. Mr. Fordham will be fine. Please take care of the babies in your tummy."Olivia felt conflicted. She had to make sure that her children were safe, but she was also worried about Jeff.The doctor had just told her to avoid strong emotions last night, but now, she couldn't relax at all.She stared anxiously at the room. A moment later, the doctor walked out, wiping his sweat as he did so.Olivia asked worriedly, "How is he?""Don't worry, Mrs. Miller. We saved Mr. Fordham."The nurse placed the pendants into Olivia's hands. "Mrs. Miller, Mr. Fordham had survived thus far because of a single fixation. You have to make sure that he maintains it."He's like a taut string, so as soon as he relaxe
Olivia, who was drinking the soup, turned around to look at Mona. After Mona ended the call, Olivia asked, "Did something happen at home?""My younger brother got into an accident when he was going home. His leg is broken. Olivia, I—"Before she could finish speaking, Olivia interrupted her. "I'll give you two days off, so go back and visit him. Family is important, after all.""Thank you, Olivia. But what about you?""We have many doctors, housekeeping staff, and bodyguards here. They're all serving me, so what can happen to me? I'll also ask the financial department to give you your salary beforehand.""You don't have to do this, Olivia.""Just go. There's no need to be so polite around me. I'll get someone to send you to the hospital right now."Olivia waved her hand, telling Cyril to take Mona there. She also informed the surgeon about it beforehand.She could already see that Cyril liked Mona, but the silly woman only had eyes for the upperclassman.Olivia wouldn't comment on the
"Mrs. Miller." Cyril looked pitiful. "It's not that I can't win her heart. Her heart is occupied with another man. How can she even look at anyone else?"Olivia thought about it. He had a point.After all, when she was in love with Ethan back then, she didn't even spare a look at the other men confessing to her.Now, she didn't even remember what those men looked like."Don't give up. You'll get a wife eventually.""I'm not getting one anymore.""You're so stubborn." Olivia facepalmed. Each of these people was more stubborn than the next."Mrs. Miller, it's raining soon, so don't go out at night. You might slip and fall in the yard.""Okay."Olivia continued drinking her soup. The children in her tummy were quite active at that moment. Olivia decided to walk around the room before going to sleep.Rain poured all through the night, accompanied by instances of thunder. Olivia couldn't sleep well all night.The next day, the rain was still going strong. Olivia had no choice but to read a
Cyril put his phone away. He had no idea why Olivia would suddenly ask that question. He wondered if she had found something.He went to the surveillance room in person. The villa was situated halfway up the mountain. Surveillance cameras were installed along the path to the estate.If any car went up the mountain, they would've noticed it while it was at the foot of the hill. Then, they would keep watch on the vehicle in real time.This was a remote place, and a mansion was also built there. Ordinary people wouldn't normally come here.Even if some hikers occasionally came to the mountain, they would be told to turn back halfway through.Usually, only the Millers' cars were seen in this area, transporting various resources. No strangers would be in sight.After looking at the footage for a long while, Cyril didn't notice anything off.Cyril's gaze moved downward. He noticed that a few surveillance cameras on the bottom had blacked out.Those cameras were installed on the cliff
Olivia pulled the covers over her head, feeling a little annoyed by the thunder outside. She covered her ears firmly, trying to go to sleep as soon as possible.The more annoyed she felt, the harder it was for her to fall asleep. Also, she kept feeling a chill run down her spine.She felt like there was a voice in her mind telling her to run.She didn't know where she would run to or why she would have to run.She had already called Cyril, and many people patrolled the villa 24/7. If there indeed were a problem, they would've noticed it already.Olivia shook her head. She had to stop herself from thinking too much. She even started to hear things.After struggling for a long while, she still couldn't fall asleep. She took out the gun Jack gave her half a year ago. It could help her feel more assured, at least.The two babies in her tummy were probably tired from kicking around. So, they grew quiet.The thunder and sound of waves hitting the reefs came one after the other.A co
