Chapter 721
Ethan went back to the master bedroom and headed straight to the shower. He turned on the water and walked under it before it turned warm. The cold water rained down on him, but his heart felt colder. He thought about the night two years ago. He had tied Olivia in the bathroom and splashed her with cold water. So the water was this chilling. He wondered how much despair she must have felt. Whenever he thought about Olivia, Ethan felt endless remorse. Every punishment he had inflicted on Olivia became knives that stabbed him right in the heart. All the love he had for Olivia turned into remorse. Brent quickly came into the bedroom and walked to the bathroom door. The lights in the bathroom were not on and he could barely make out Ethan's silhouette through the lights outside. He saw Ethan sitting against the wall, head tilted as the water fell onto his face. The bloodied shirt clung to his body tightly. He looked desolated and in despair. Brent shut the door quietly an

Darrell wasn't doing great. Meanwhile, Harold got emotional and relapsed into his dazed state when Olivia was sent to the hospital.Kenneth and Jessica wanted to take Darrell away, but Ethan's orders were absolute for the bodyguards. So they stopped the two of them from taking Darrell. Darrell fainted once and was tended to by doctors on the spot. However, he was forced to kneel again after that. And he had remained kneeling since. The night before, while the commotion was going on, Darrell could at least throw in some snide remarks. But after one whole night of kneeling, he felt like he was about to drop dead. His knees were numb, and the wound on his forehead was hastily dressed. He also couldn't feel his lower body anymore. He was tired, hungry, and sleep-deprived, but he didn't dare to fall over. He fell over once because he was too tired and the glass shards had pricked him all over, and he was in terrible pain. Darrell noticed Ethan slowly walking toward him. Ethan's

Kenneth then stepped in between Ethan and Darrell. He said self-righteously, "Enough! You two are brothers. Stop hurting him. I'll have him give up all his inheritance rights and bring him away. He'll never appear before you again." Kenneth was still speaking condescendingly. He didn't think he was in the wrong at all. Ethan would've been sad if he were still a kid. But that was no longer the case. He turned to look at Kenneth with his bloodshot eyes. Then, he said amusedly, "Do I need him to give up what's rightfully mine? Kenneth Miller, I would get out of here if I were you. You're an eyesore." "What did you call me?" Kenneth asked.In the past, Ethan would at least address Kenneth as Mr. Miller Senior. This was the first time Ethan had called him by his full name. Ethan didn't want to argue with Kenneth. Instead, he looked down at Darrell and said, "Spit it out now. Or else I have my ways to make you talk."Then, Ethan grabbed Darrell's arm and dragged him on the floor.

Darrell fainted yet again. Kelvin spat on him and said with disdain, "Look at him. He's such a sissy. We haven't even done anything to him yet and he's already half dead. I feel so bad for Mr. Miller."Ethan was the eldest son of the Miller family, so Harold was very strict with him ever since he was young. The first half of Ethan's life was fraught with hardships; he didn't have it any better than Leia. Ethan looked at Darrell calmly, saying, "Get the doctors to patch him up. We need him alive for now to extract useful information from him." "Understood, Mr. Miller."Ethan then walked into the kitchen without looking back. The maids were systematically cleaning up the mess in the house. Sharon went over to Ethan. She said, "Mr. Miller, there's no need to cook yourself. You can just ask one of us to do it for you."Ethan ignored her and dressed the chicken he had just killed. Sharon was stunned. Ethan was so violent a moment ago, but after putting on the apron, he became

Ethan was stunned. For a moment, he didn't understand what Olivia was trying to say."Liv, please let me explain. I never had intercourse with …" he tried to explain.But Olivia didn't want to hear anything about Marina coming from him. She felt disgusted. "Ethan, I told you I don't care about your relationship with her. I'm talking about my illness."Ethan held the glass in his hand. He suddenly felt lost. He set the glass aside and tried to calm himself. "Alright. You talk. I'll listen," he said."Help me get discharged. I want to get out of here.""You can't do that. You can't leave the hospital in your current condition." Ethan explained, "The doctors have come up with a treatment plan. I'm also looking for a cure for you. Don't give up now. This isn't something we can't overcome. Please, just go along with the treatment. You'll definitely get better."Olivia smiled calmly. "Ethan. I'm a medical student. All I've been reading recently are medical books. Do you think I don

Ethan didn't dare to approach Olivia anymore. He could only watch over her from afar. "Brent, arrange a paternity test for Connor and Liv. She'll believe me when she sees the results," he said."Mr. Miller, may I say something?" Brent asked with a complicated expression.Ethan turned to look at him.Brent continued, "Mr. Miller, the biggest issue between you and Mrs. Miller isn't the truth. Every one of us knows you never touched Ms. Carlton. But the fact is you lied to and hurt Mrs. Miller. Even if you explained yourself, would she believe you?"Ethan thought about Olivia's intense reaction just a moment ago. "She won't believe me.""That's right. Even if you showed her the report, she would only think you were manipulating the results with your authority. Bluntly put, Mrs. Miller's condition is very bad right now. You shouldn't do anything to further upset her." Brent's words were very straightforward. Ethan's existence would only agitate Olivia. At the same moment, the doct

Olivia didn't know what was in store for her. She was lying in bed when Keith came in with some food. She said, "Keith, I don't have an appetite.""Even so, you should eat a little. Your body is very weak now. You need to give your immune system a boost to keep the cancer cells at bay. It's home-cooked chicken soup. At least take a sip." Keith didn't tell her Ethan cooked it. Or else, she would never try it. Olivia didn't turn him down. "Keith, I've lost my memories. Can you tell me about the past?"Keith couldn't believe she had lost her memories. No wonder he felt like something was off the two times he met her. "How did you lose your memories?" Keith asked.Olivia thought about how big a liar Ethan was. What he had said might not be true. "It's not important. Can you tell me what kind of person I used to be?" she asked.Keith didn't dig too much into it. "You've been an outstanding person ever since you were young. You skipped a few grades, so you weren't even 18 years o

Olivia's gaze was cold. "It was his idea, right?"Keith replied, "Yes. He didn't want to stand by and do nothing. The cancer cells in your body are spreading fast. This was the only option."Chemotherapy was a high-stakes gamble. It would have a strong inhibitory effect on the tumor if it were successful. But if it didn't work, it would speed up Olivia's demise. The worst thing was that her death would be painful as she suffered from the side effects of chemotherapy. Keith licked his lips and explained, "He wants you to live, Olivia. I'm also hoping for a miracle. Just like two years ago. I said you only had three to six months left to live. But the results of your chemotherapy were very good, and your condition stabilized. Maybe this time …""Keith, I know you mean well, but … I don't really want to live anymore." Two years ago, when she said that, she was sad. It was because life was hard on her, and she couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. But at this moment, Ol
