Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244

In the hospital, Jeff was lying on the hospital bed as always. Every day, he survived on nutrient solutions and various equipment.

His body had weakened at a noticeable rate. His limbs had begun to shrink

He was like a flower that had lost its vigor and was clinging to the last bits of nutrients in the soil. He was barely hanging on.

Olivia hadn’t visited him in a while. Every time she saw her father like this, she would feel even worse.

Jeff’s face was already sunken. Olivia’s tears dripped onto the back of his dry hand.

“Dad…”

She wished that a miracle would happen one day, and Jeff would wake up and look at her. She yearned for just a glance from him, and maybe a few words too.

“Don’t be sad, Olivia.”

Colin patted her gently on the back. Olivia lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her at her weakest moments.

Sobbing, Olivia covered her face. When she looked up again, she saw Colin listening to Jeff’s heartbeat with a stethoscope.

“Colin?”

Putting the stethoscope down, Colin smiled at Olivia. “I was a med student, remember? I wanted to have a look at Mr. Fordham.”

“Sorry for the trouble.”

“You’re too kind, Olivia.”

Colin gave Jeff a regular check-up. Watching his movements, Olivia didn’t think he was a mere student.

“Olivia, can I have a look at Mr. Fordham’s latest medical report?”

“Sure.”

Olivia found all the reports and showed them to Colin. Colin read every detail.

Time ticked by. A moment later, Colin finally looked up at her. The look in his eyes was wiss the usual look in his eyes.

eep. It was different from

“Olivia, there’s still hope for Mr. Fordham’s illness. If Leo carries out the operation, the chances of success are very high.”

Olivia sighed. “That’s true. We’ve tried everything we could, but we still can’t find him.”

“Don’t worry, Olivia. I’ll help you look for him. I’ll ask my connections overseas for help.”

Sitting by the bed, Olivia wiped Jeff’s body clean with a hot towel. “I don’t know if my dad can hang on until then.”

“He will.”

Olivia turned around, meeting Colin’s gaze. There was a determined look in his dark eyes.

After leaving the hospital, Colin regained his youthful attitude. “Can you treat me to a meal, Olivia? I’m starving.”

“Sure. What would you like to eat?”

Olivia was an only child. Since young, she had always wished for siblings. In her eyes, Colin was a younger brother to her; one that was obedient and adorable.

“There’s a night market nearby. Let’s get some snacks there, Olivia.”

“That works too.”

The night market in the area was a tourist attraction.

In a corner of the busy street, Olivia was holding a milkshake in one hand and candy in another. Assorted snacks hung from her wrist in plastic bags.

Amidst the lights, Olivia smiled like an innocent child. There were no ulterior motives or sorrows behind her smile.

It had been too long since she last hung out like this, snacking on her favorite foods like a normal young woman.
