Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1
On the day Olivia Fordham was diagnosed with stomach cancer, her husband, Ethan Miller, was taking care of his first love’s children.
In the hospital corridor, Keith Rogers said grimly while holding a biopsy report, “Olivia, the results are out. If the surgery is successful, the five-year survival rate for a 3A malignant tumor is 15 to 30 percent.”
Olivia gripped the strap of her sling bag tightly with her slender fingers. Her petite face was pale and solemn. “Keith, how long do I have left to live if I don’t do the surgery?”
“Six months to a year. It’s different for everyone. In your case, it’s better to do two rounds of chemotherapy first before the surgery. It will prevent the risk of the tumor spreading or undergoing metastasis.”
Olivia bit her lip while forcing out, “Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me. I’ll arrange for you to be admitted to the hospital right away,” said Keith.
“There’s no need. I don’t plan to receive treatment. I won’t be able to get through it,” Olivia said.
Keith wanted to say something more, but Olivia tipped her head at him. “Keith, please help me keep this a secret. I don’t want my family to worry.”
The Fordham family was bankrupt. Olivia already had to bend over backward just to cover the medical expenses of her father, Jeff Fordham. If her family knew about her illness, it would undoubtedly make the situation worse.
Keith sighed helplessly and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll keep my lips sealed. I heard that you’re married. Your husband—”
“Keith, please take good care of my dad. I have to go now.” Olivia seemed very reluctant to talk about this and left quickly before he could answer. Keith shook his head.
Rumor had it that she had dropped out of university and gotten married. The top genius in medical school had fallen from grace into devastation.
Throughout the two years of her father’s treatment, she was the only one who took care of everything. Even when she had collapsed from illness and was sent to the hospital by passersby, her husband had never shown up.
Thinking back, Ethan had truly treated her well in the year they had gotten married. Alas, when his first love returned to the country pregnant, everything changed.
There was once when Olivia, who was also pregnant, fell into the water with Marina Carlton, his first love. Amidst her struggles, she saw him swimming toward Marina with all his might. Due to the ordeal, she and Marina both went into labor prematurely.
Olivia had been rescued too late and missed the optimal window for receiving treatment. By the time she arrived at the hospital, her baby had died in the womb. Seven days after the death of her baby, Ethan asked for a divorce, but she had not agreed to it.
Now that she knew about her illness, she could not deny it any longer. She dialed his number with shaking hands, and he picked up after the third ring.
He said coldly, “I won’t see you unless it’s to get divorced.”
Tears filled Olivia’s eyes as she forced herself to swallow her words about her illness. Marina’s voice suddenly came over the phone in the background. “Ethan, it’s time for the pediatric check-up.”
The tears that Olivia had held back for a long time flowed down her face that instant. Her child was gone and her family was ruined, but he now had a family with someone else. It was time for all this to be over.
She no longer begged him like before. Instead, she said weakly, “Ethan, let’s get a divorce.”
Ethan was obviously stunned for a moment over the phone. He laughed coldly and said, “Olivia, what tricks are you playing this time?”
Olivia closed her eyes and said, “I’ll wait for you at home.”
His words stabbed her heart like sharp needles. She dragged her feet forward, dripping wet. She did not cry or make a fuss but calmly pulled out the documents from an envelope.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already signed them,” she said.
She put the document on the dining table, and Ethan realized that he had never found the word “divorce” so displeasing in his life. Olivia only had one request, which was an alimony of ten million dollars.
“I was wondering why you would suddenly agree to divorce. Turns out it’s for money,” he mocked. His scornful expression filled her vision.
The old Olivia would have defended herself, but she was just too exhausted now. So, she only stood where she was and said softly, “By right, I could have taken half of your net worth, Mr. Miller. But I only asked you for ten million dollars. When it comes down to it, I’m still being benevolent.”
Ethan stepped forward, casting a long shadow over Olivia. He held her chin with his slender fingers and said in a deep, cold voice, “What did you call me?”
“Mr. Miller, if you don’t like this form of address, then I don’t mind referring to you as my ex-husband. You can leave after signing the papers.”
Her arrogant expression displeased Ethan. “This is my house. Who gave you the right to ask me to leave?” he said.
Olivia smirked and said, “Indeed, I do not have the right. Don’t worry, Mr. Miller. I will move out after receiving the divorce certificate.”
With that, she slapped his hand away and looked him right in the eye. She said icily, “Mr. Miller, bring your documents to the City Hall at 9 am tomorrow. I’ll see you there.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan)
The only reason I stayed until the end is because of Ethan... He's so outstanding I couldn't just the the book go... I hate that the person he fell in love with until the end is Olivia...he deserved someone better, Olivia's character in the end turned out to be so poor, I especially hate it that Ethan dedicated his life loving her, not letting other woman get near him while Olivia allows other men to touch her...it's disgusting, she's not even that outstanding. Assasin my ass, but Wayne is much better than her that she can be kidnapped. In reality, she could have been raped for her stupidity and recklessness, which made her even more arrogant. Assasin in word, but in truth, she's incapable without Ethan or other men helping her. She's still useless in the end. Until the end, if she had not been so vicious and wanted to let Jacqueline suffer, she would not have been poisoned. It's her fault... Everything that happened to her... She deserves them...
What's Olivia bubbling about Natalie shining wherever she go that she attracts men everywhere? She's probably like Olivia who welcomes and encourages other men to be attracted to her, both women allowed other men near them, instead of running fast as far away from other men, being cold to them, and showing them that they will never allow others near them aside from their partners... So, both Olivia and Natalie are at fault here for all their sufferings, including their families and those around them... They should have just killed themselves......
In this chapter, 1663 why would the author even allow a moment for Olivia and Wayne? Are they the main characters? It should be Ethan, Olivia is not even worthy as the main character here, she's useless and stupid and a fool...where is Ethan? Why is Wayne the person Olivia's talking to here? They are just side kicks in the story... 👀👀👀...
See? Wayne kept on telling Olivia that he would pursue her since she's still single, if she had told him that she plan on re marrying no one else aside from Ethan, he would stop pursuing her. But she didn't, which means she likes being chased by a mad man like Wayne... Because she's a flirt... She loves having sex and steaming off her list with Ethan but she also loves being grabbed by other men.. Yuck, she's not even disgusted that Wayne keeps on holding her by the waist of flattening his body against her... It's a 🤮 for other women, but Olivia allows Wayne to do that to her everytime... So, I ask the authors, didn't you think of that? What a lousy reaction and attitude you give your characters, especially Olivia... You turned her into a hateful character...
Wayne's attitude and the way he talked to Olivia was always dirty and vulgar, why was it this was the first time she scolded him for it? In fact, she always flirt with him, tell him he's cute with intent of encouraging him more to becoming hooked with her... Which is the reason why, Wayne never believed a word she say because she's always playful with him... What a joke... This kind of woman doesn't deserve Ethan.....
I really don't have the time reading about Olivia's babbling, and I am so tired reading all her thought's recalling how much she suffered, I think the author did it a hundred times it became meaningless. She's just saying it to justify how she became a flirt and how she became a vicious vengeful and hateful woman... How can she let her child willow witness how she torture another person? What kind of mother is she? The person she became is unacceptable. She hated Ethan for the things he did to her, and overlook Ethan's goodness, love and protectiveness. While her family, both the Heath's and Fordham's who contributed to all her sufferings were forgiven right away... Olivia's got a twisted mind after all... She doesn't deserve to be a mother and a woman for Ethan at all. This should have been Ethan's story and he should have been able to find someone worthy of him while Olivia should have died from the very beginning....
And the Heath's and the Fordham family? What right did they have to hate Ethan for what he did? Ethan made a lot of things more to Olivia even if he hurt her in the past, he's always been there to protect him. How about the Heath's? They were all fooled by their enemies, taking care of someone else's child, pampering them to the point of bullying Olivia and they did not think they are the ones who caused Olivia's suffering especially the Fordham's? Telling Ethan they do not accept him, did they think that Olivia would still be alive if it hadn't been for Ethan who always help her in the background? If they were geniuses and powerful, they should have found out a long time ago, especially these Fordham that the little sister they love is the one trying to kill their own sister. If it wasn't today their stupidity, Olivia will not be in danger, Olivia will not be bullied by Marina and eveyone else. They should blame themselves and not Ethan......
My most hated character in here is Olivia's. I don't like the kind of woman she turned into. Hateful, vicious, vengeful, and unforgiving. And most of all, arrogant and flirty. I can't imagine how she can let someone else touch her when she's telling she only love's Ethan. I skipped most of those chapters whenever the author made Olivia a flirt. Gosh, it's a shallow excuse to think that the best vengeance is to let someone else fall for you and then drop him in the end. What a fool. That also means letting that person touch you. Yuck! I do not know what's in the author's mind. She's so arrogant that she keeps on taking jobs where she needs to manipulate men she really cannot handle like Wayne? It's unrealistic that all of them likes her, what is so likable with her anyway? No man will like a woman who has been married, with 4 children and still sleeping with her ex. It's so unrealistic. And my gosh, she's a genius, and yet, when the men tells he they love her, she could not even convince them because all her answers are stupid answer. .. I can't even understand what Ethan sees I her. The words says she's genius but in truth, she's stupid. She'd still be nothing if the author hadn't made her a Heath or a Fordham. U did not even understand why the author made all men like her or fall in love with her. Is that even necessary? After she recovered and Ethan made fool of himself for her, instead of concentrating on how to make her family whole, she often times leaves her children, thrash them somewhere else and live like a single person. She would even leave Ethan and children and flirt with different men. She hugs and let other men touch her. Yuck... My my, I just read 2 novels who doesn't let themselves be touched by someone else other than the male lead... Olivia's different though, she even let herself be kidnapped and live a land for weeks. How about she left her son Connor for her selfish reason for 3 years. And if Ethan had not found her, she doesn't have any inkling of looking for her son sooner. She's a selfish person and mother.truly. Goodness, she could have married Ethan immediately and gave her family a second chance ever since Ethan changed, and yet, she allowed herself to be with different men, even lived with them. What's unacceptable is, she left Connor alone for most of her years and hadn't returned to her son as soon as she's able. She prioritized her revenge than her family. She doesn't deserve Ethan at all......
Why are so many chapters mussing? From page 40 plus, alternative chapters are missing....
Connor is her kid isn't it?...
