Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1396

"Pardon me, I do not get what you're trying to say, Mr. Maxwell."

"You don't have to play dumb. It doesn't suit you. My demand is simple, if you tend to my injuries, then all of that is just a joke. Or else…"

He would claim that it was an act of terrorism. Then, things would get blown out of proportion.

Olivia slowly walked toward Ethan.

"Let me do it, Ethan."

"Liv…"

Ethan knew what Wayne was after. He didn't want Olivia to go through with it.

She wouldn't have to care about all this if she didn't accept the Heaths as her family. But she was part of the family. So, she couldn't stand by and do nothing.

Linus personally flew all the way to Raka to save her. It was time for her to do something for the family. It was just tending to Wayne's injuries. It wasn't anything much.

She patted his hand. "I'll be done with it very quickly."

Wayne was nothing more than a regular patient to her.

Ethan frowned as he could only watch helplessly as she walked toward another man.

She was just going to tend to some simple injuries, and yet Ethan felt like someone was stabbing a knife into his heart.

He couldn't imagine the pain Olivia felt when he walked toward Marina. At that moment, it was just karma coming back to bite him. It was his punishment.

Wayne looked at Ethan with a smug expression. "If you please, Ms. Heath."

Ethan's arms hung at his sides as he clenched his fists.

"You're welcome, Mr. Maxwell."

Olivia took out a cotton ball, dabbed it with some alcohol, and pressed it against his face. Wayne winced and almost cried out in pain.

But Olivia remained calm. "Mr. Maxwell, I said some nonsensical stuff in the car while I was in shock. I even scratched you. Can you please forgive me?"

"Of… Of course." Wayne winced, revealing his teeth. He was sure Olivia was doing it on purpose.

"I'll just have to trouble you to tend to all my injuries as I recover, Ms. Heath."

Ike and Alan winced as they looked at how roughly Olivia was treating Wayne. They started to wonder if he was a masochist.
