The two children came over to look at Olivia with tender expressions on their faces. "Mom!""I …"Olivia panted softly as she lay in Everly's arms. It was like she was completely exhausted. Everly's expression turned grave. "Liv, you've never been nauseous from dissecting before. Just out of curiosity, you haven't been sleeping with Ethan, right? Your symptoms … seem to indicate you're pregnant."Olivia's expression froze. She had taken care of Ethan a few days ago, but they didn't actually do it. And the time doesn't match. Unless …She thought about that night back on the cruise ship. She had sex with Logan for the entire night. She had Joshua buy morning-after pills for her the next day when they arrived in Aldenvine. She couldn't have gotten pregnant from that. "No, I can't be pregnant. I took the pills." Olivia's hands were shaking. "Pills? Liv, you do know that morning-after pills aren't 100% effective, right? Have you had your period yet?"Olivia did some quick calc
Olivia was completely surprised to see Colin. She was so excited she didn't know what to say. "Why are you here, Colin?""Olivia, it was so hard to track you down. I'm only able to see you because Jack contacted me.""Yeah, the past few years have been eventful, to say the least," Olivia said emotionally. "How has your cancer been?"Olivia took off her wig and said, "I almost succumbed to the cancer in the first six months of the year. I only managed to pull through with the pills you left me and chemotherapy. "The side effects of chemotherapy have subsided a lot. My hair has started to grow again, but the tumor is still there."Everly couldn't help but feel bad when she saw Olivia's short hair. "You've been through so much, Liv.""It's all in the past now. I was on my deathbed, but I survived. Colin, I heard you've been researching anti-cancer drugs. Have there been any developments?""Olivia, I'm here to cure you."Olivia's eyes lit up when she heard that. She felt lik
Colin's lips twitched as he looked at the twins beside Olivia. "You're telling me … that you're pregnant again?"Olivia was a little embarrassed. Connor was the only baby she planned for. She didn't even have a sex life after that. The twins were conceived while Ethan had a high fever and was barely conscious. This newest pregnancy was even more ridiculous …The doctors said it would be hard for her to get pregnant, but she got pregnant both times she had sex. "I've been feeling nauseous. It's a lot like the morning sickness I used to have. I'm afraid that …""Alright, let's do an ultrasound first. We can do that in this town. But we can't do a magnetic resonance imaging procedure. Let's do the ultrasound first to determine if you're pregnant. The cancer treatment will have to wait until we get to our next stop.""Okay. I'll do whatever you say."On the way to their destination, Olivia had a gloomy expression on her face. Back then, everyone told her she should've aborted th
Everly was drinking when Olivia said that. She immediately spat it out. "W-What? Ethan's not the father?"Everly scanned her surroundings before whispering, "I didn't know you had it in you! You're quite the player. Who's the father? "Is it the masked man or the cute young man? Both seem to care for you genuinely. They won't hurt you as Ethan did."Olivia was feeling conflicted. "Neither of them …""Liv, you're being a stranger. I even told you how long Henry lasts each time, yet you don't tell me anything."Olivia was rendered speechless. She didn't even want to know about that, but Everly told her about it anyway. "It's a long story.""Then, cut to the chase." A hint of excitement flashed in Everly's eyes. She was clearly in the mood for gossip. Olivia wasn't able to win an argument with Everly, so she ended up telling her about what happened. Everly fell silent after hearing what happened. Even someone as chatty as her didn't have the words to describe how she felt.
Henry wasn't the only person that was angry. Ethan was fuming as well. Jack had already gotten away from his men for a week. He still hadn't received any updates. Ethan didn't harbor any ill will against Jack before he knew his true identity. But he had uncovered Jack's true identity in the past few days. Jack was Kurt's twin brother. He was born in very bad conditions and was at risk of dying at any moment. A psychic had told his family that he must be hidden from the public eye and needed to be kept at a church for protection.That was why the Stone family only ever made Kurt known to the public. Not even Ethan knew about Jack's existence. Kelvin sighed. "That's so crazy. The psychic said only one of the Stone family's twins would live. They thought the weak and fragile Jack would be the one who passed. But Kurt's the one who ended up dead."No wonder Kurt had all those mysterious visits to the church. We thought he went to pray, but he actually went to visit his brother. "
Henry stared into Ethan's eyes. "The island is yours. Your men were stationed there. How did they escape without you allowing them to?"Henry wasn't stupid. He sensed the change in Ethan's attitude toward Olivia long ago. "I knew I couldn't keep it from you." Ethan didn't try to keep it from Henry."I don't care about how you want to manage your relationship with your woman. But you shouldn't have meddled in my business." Henry stared at Ethan coldly. Seeing the tension rise between them, Bryan finally stepped in. "Alright. To be fair, you wouldn't have understood your feelings for Ms. Hilton if you hadn't been separated. You can't pin this on Ethan. They couldn't have taken her if she didn't want to leave. "So, instead of blaming your friend, why don't you two think about why they wanted to leave?"Henry sat down dejectedly. "Why? I gave her so much money. Isn't she in love with money? Why did she still leave me?""Are you dumb or just pretending? If a woman could be bou
"Mr. Miller, you've been busy with work these days. You're even losing your sleep and appetite over Mrs. Miller. Your injuries haven't completely healed yet. What will we do if you collapse?" Brent said. Ever since Ethan's identity was exposed in the dark web, Miller Group had also taken a hit.The company had a lot of subsidiaries. Recently, a lot of them, such as the real estate arm and the F&B arm, experienced some trouble. Some people were manipulating things from the shadows. They were from all sorts of shadowy organizations. When running a business, the scariest threats came from the ones hiding in the dark. Even Bryan had received word of what was happening. "If this goes on, your losses will be overwhelming. What's your next move?""You know me. It's going to be an eye for an eye. I'll make them pay a hundred times over."Ethan sneered. "He knows I have the dirt on those people. He'll only lose if this goes on. That's why he got desperate and tried to make a move on
It was like Jack knew what she was about to ask. "Ask away.""We've only known each other for a short time. I know you helped me investigate someone because of Martha and the others, but what about the things you helped me with afterward? "You helped me out behind the scenes and raised my children for me. Even when I asked you to help me escape, you helped out to the best of your abilities without any complaints."We're not family, but you risked your life to do all these things for me. There has to be a reason why you're doing all this, right?A dagger appeared in Jack's hand out of nowhere. This was the first time Olivia had seen his weapon. It looked like it was extremely sharp. At that moment, Jack seemed mysterious with a hint of viciousness. "Why don't you guess why I'm doing this?" Jack's voice was low and sounded especially eerie in the dark. It sent a chill down Olivia's spine. "I don't know. All I know is that no one does anything for no reason. I know that the
