Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1318

The Heaths didn't expect Yale to be so determined. No one thought he was putting on an act anymore.

Linus reminded, "If you really want to take this to court, we'll also hire the best lawyers.

"She'll be charged with assault in the worst-case scenario. And since she's pregnant, we'll be able to apply for probation."

Olivia had known that the Heaths were protective of their own. But seeing it in person still left a bad taste in her mouth.

Even though Molly wasn't anyone to her, she still clenched her fists when she recalled how Krystal beat up Molly.

She knew that the strong ruled over the weak in this world.

Even with her current position, not everything would go her way. There were still plenty of things she couldn't do.

She had no choice but to step away from this depressing situation.

"Grandpa, I'll go to the kitchen and prepare the medicinal foods."

Mason nodded with relief. "Do your best, Olivia."

Olivia tried to hold her tongue, but she still said it.

"I am not doing this for the Heath family. I'm doing this for my patient."

She walked away after she said that. She wouldn't be of any use there.

Power was everything.

Olivia went to the backyard and saw Ethan standing under the plum tree. The snow was falling beside him. They made him seem like a handsome prince that came out of a painting.

"Ethan."

Olivia went over to him dejectedly.

Ethan drew her into her embrace. "Did they pick on you?"

Olivia shook her head.

She said dispiritedly, "No one in the Heath family would do that. I just… feel bad for Molly."

She understood what Yale was going through all too well.

"We were in his country, after all. If he suddenly threw a fit and didn't allow you to leave, I wouldn't be able to do anything.

"I could only call Linus for help. He rushed to the scene for you, an S-ranked Black Raven assassin. That's also him showing you favoritism.

"I know. I just… think about Molly's face when I close my eyes.

"She had told me how badly she wanted to give birth to that child. She would protect that child with her life, but…"

Olivia had become more hardened over the years, but she still couldn't help but sob.

"I'm a mother, too. I experienced an abortion before. I was also bullied to the point that I couldn't fight back.

"So, I understand what she's going through. I want to do something for her, but I'm with the Heath family. Grandpa and Linus have been so good to me."

Ethan kissed the tears away from the corner of her eyes.

"You've never changed. You're still as kind as ever. You can't do anything. Neither of us can do anything about this.

"If you really feel bad for her, you should nurse her back to health with your skills. That could be a way to atone for the sins of the Heath family."
