Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1371

Olivia started the surgery. The heartache overwhelmed Marina more than the physical pain did.

Being both mentally and physically in pain, she thought that this was the end of her life.

Olivia wasn't going to let her off that easily. "You know how many years I've been waiting for today? My beloved mother left me when I was young. She treated you so well and yet you didn't hesitate to hurt her and my father.

"Do you even know what I did just to save him? In the end, you took his life with a lift of a finger. Do you know how painful life was to me?"

The more she talked about it, the more strength she exerted in her moves.

Marina yelled so much that her voice turned hoarse. "Olivia, it was an accident. He's my father too. I didn't know!"

"You're calling him your father? How dare you! Why aren't you the one who died, Marina Carlton? Dad was so excited to welcome my baby to the world. He made them toys, showing signs of being willing to live on! It's all because of you. You!"

"Calm down, Olivia!"

"Calm down? Dad was such a nice guy, but he's no longer here. How could you have the nerve to continue with life? Why aren't you the one who's dead?"

God knew how crestfallen Olivia was back then. She was oblivious to Connor's true identity, terminally ill, and losing her only family.

On the other hand, Marina, the sinner, was still alive!

Grief clouded Olivia's features.

Jeff's death was something she could never get over. It'd be difficult for her to walk out of the shadow of the pain.

Whenever one bottled one's emotions for too long, one's reaction would be more vehement when those emotions came to the surface.

Cold sweat washed Marina from head to toe before she lost consciousness.

But minutes later, the pain pulled her back to consciousness again.

Olivia's gaze gave Marina dreadful chills, and Marina's hunch whispered warnings of a bleak future ahead of her.

"Olivia Fordham, if you do anything to me, Fabian will never let this slide that easily!" Despite her hatred for Fabian, he was the only person who could protect her.

Olivia giggled. "I know. Because he loves you, to an obsessive extent."

"How do you know that?"

"When I first came to the Carlton residence to examine your legs, I could tell that he forced it on you. You should be grateful for your looks. They're the reason you're living a good life until now. First Kurt, and now Fabian," mocked Olivia.

She continued, "But you've underestimated his love for you. He's crazy about you. Why would he let you walk again?"

"What do you mean?"

"I forgot to tell you something. Yesterday, I made a deal with him. Fabian, he… wishes for this surgery to fail."
