Chapter 904
The events tonight had happened too suddenly, and Brent was busy cleaning up as well.Kelvin was the only person accompanying Olivia right now.When she was in the car just now, she had taken off her down jacket. She was only wearing a thin sweater now.There weren't any heaters in the corridor. The cold wind picked up, making her feel colder.Olivia thought of that night a few years ago. She had stood there, waiting for Ethan in the cold wind as well.Kelvin wasn't too considerate. He only felt that Olivia looked a little pitiful from behind.The medical staff hurrying over seemed to be targeting her on purpose. "Step aside. Please don't stand in our way."It wasn't a bustling time at all. They simply didn't like her.If Ethan wasn't trying to save her, he wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries.In their eyes, Olivia was just a burden to Ethan.Kelvin was a lowly figure, and even he had to make sure he didn't piss anyone off. Many doctors in the army hospital had been

After an operation that went on for hours, all the glass shards on Ethan's body were removed.For the moment, Ethan could only lie on his stomach.If a normal person suffered such injuries, they would get anesthesia. But Ethan painstakingly endured it.Those few hours were like hell to him.He had to constantly be awake so that he could see Olivia right away.Krystal walked up to him first. "Are you okay, Sova?"Ethan placed his chin on his crossed hands. He had already used up his energy, and he constantly had cold sweat because of his pain.He was already exhausted, but after the door opened, he still perked up and looked at the door.The first person he saw wasn't Krystal but Olivia instead.Ignoring Krystal's greeting, he said weakly, "Liv."It was only then that Olivia slowly walked over to him. Ethan reached out a hand, and Olivia held it.His palm was no longer dry. There was still sweat on it."I promised you that I would leave the operating room alive."With tha

Originally, Olivia thought that it wouldn't be good for her image.But then, she thought more about it. People were always prejudiced, and she had already left a bad impression on everyone.Even if she stood and kept watch over Ethan today, the people who looked down on her would continue to do so.So, why should she worry about other people's gazes?Her body was already weak enough. She had also been standing for a long time, so her calves were turning sore.If she was half-sprawled on the bed, it would be torture for her waist and back."Sure, go ahead."Taking off her socks and shoes, Olivia got onto the bed. When Krystal saw that, she was extremely pissed."Y-You shameless woman! What are you doing?"Olivia blinked, saying with an innocent look, "As you can see, the wench is tired and needs to rest.""How can you sleep in the same bed as him?" Krystal was so frustrated that she almost stomped her feet.Olivia was even more exasperated now. "I didn't want to, but he refus

They didn't manage to find the mastermind from before. But now, a new enemy had shown up. Also, their style was completely different from the person before.Olivia couldn't help but wonder if she had to hide under someone else's protection all her life.She recalled Mona's death and memories of other people getting hurt just to save her.That cruel rainy night had already turned into a shadow that forever loomed over Olivia's heart.If she didn't get stronger, she might not be lucky enough to survive the next hit.She thought about it for a long time. When it was almost dawn, and Ethan's vitals seemed to be stable, Olivia finally closed her eyes and rested for a while.The room was eerily quiet. It was only then that Krystal had a chance to peer at Ethan's face.When he was carrying out missions in the past, he would always wear a mask. No one knew his true appearance. And even if Krystal wanted to see it, she couldn't.At that moment, she envied Olivia a lot. Olivia co

Ethan chuckled. "I know. Whether I'm sleeping or awake, I never want to let go of you."His face was very pale. His already fair face looked even more sickly now.He had just survived a close brush with death, and the operation alone took hours. But when he woke up, he behaved as if it wasn't his business."I heard that you didn't get anesthesia.""I didn't. I feared that if I died, I wouldn't be able to see you for one last time," he replied calmly. In reality, he only thought of one thing: Olivia was born with resistance to anesthesia, so every time she got hurt, she could only endure the pain.It was the same when she bled profusely during childbirth, when she was getting her arm stitched, and even when her wrist was hurt.So, Ethan didn't use anesthesia either. He wanted to commit to memory the pain Olivia had once gone through.More importantly, he wanted to see her as soon as he woke up.If the operation last night had failed, he would die in his sleep.When Olivia hea

It would have been fine if Ethan hadn't said that. But once he did, Olivia's expression shifted."How long are you going to act selfishly under the pretense of doing it for my good?"Olivia vented all her dissatisfaction. "I loved you so much in the past, and I gave up everything for you. You have a mysterious job, and I didn't ask you about it."I also never asked you where you went on your business trips. I thought that this was my way of loving you, but what became of me in the end?""Liv." Ethan wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but Olivia dodged him."You know everything about me. When you're happy, you'll gladly spend a large sum to buy gifts for me, spoiling me to no end."But when you're upset, you take everything back and deny me every chance of escape, putting me in hell."But what about me? From the beginning until now, other than knowing that you're Ethan, what else do I know?"From the beginning, you loved me like you would love a pet. You thought this was f

Brent had a stern look on his face. "Now that Mr. Miller's identity is exposed, the various forces that had grudges against him would pounce on him like hungry wolves to get revenge."The incident last night is one example. The organization behind those people was the central figure in Shadow Valley ten years ago. "They sent suicide squads who weren't afraid of death and were trying to drag Mr. Miller down even if it cost them their lives."When Olivia heard that, she felt some lingering fear. "Then he's in great danger now, right?""It's relatively safe here, but as soon as he leaves the military area, there will be danger everywhere. Also, I found out on the dark web that someone had posted an anonymous bounty for Mr. Miller."If anyone killed him, they would get a reward of 1 billion dollars. A high-reward bounty like that would usually attract private assassins and mercenaries. "After all, great rewards attract brave souls."As if he were an outsider, Ethan advised Olivi

Olivia earnestly learned from the nurse the procedures to change the dressings. Then, she waited until there were just the two of them in the room.It was only then that Olivia got mad. "You called me darling?""If I don't do that, she will keep pestering me."Olivia said coldly, "You have quite a lot of admirers."With that, she pulled the blanket away, revealing his back, which was wrapped in bandages.Ethan explained, "Liv, she only changed my dressings once, and it was on my arm. That was all.""We're already divorced, so I don't care what she wants to do to you, nor do I want to." As Olivia replied, she cut the bandages away.Even as she spoke, her actions were gentle. She feared that she might touch his wounds."Liv, ever since the start, you're the only person who has touched my body. No other woman has done it but you." Ethan sighed.Olivia wanted to mock him. But then, the wounds under the bandages were revealed without warning.She had guessed last night that it
