Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272

Marina could feel everyone’s gaze even though she couldn’t see.

She cried for help, “Ethan! Dad! Help me! You have to save me. I don’t want to die.”

Olivia wasn’t feeling good. She had yet to eat breakfast, and her stomach had been aching for a while. Her forehead was covered in sweat, making the ocean breeze feel more chilly.

She didn’t have the energy to call for help like Marina. The rope around her waist made it hard for her to breathe. She was sure the outcome would be the same either way.

Ethan chose Marina a year ago, and she knew his choice wouldn’t change. She wasn’t disappointed because she never had any hope to begin with.

As she was in despair and thinking of her chances of escaping, she heard some noise. The audio from the audience’s side was being broadcasted to them.

Chloe’s weeping was especially loud. “Marina, Olivia, are you two okay?”

Olivia slowly opened her lifeless eyes. She tried to look toward Chloe’s voice even though she was blindfolded.

Chloe’s voice further intensified Marina’s emotions. She cried, “Mom, please save me!”

“Don’t worry, Marina. Your dad will get you out of this.”

Olivia’s stomach was in a lot of pain. Her lips were chapped. She licked them, but she didn’t say a word.

She realized that she cared more about Chloe’s choice than Ethan’s. Chloe was her mother, after all. Olivia touched her phone watch, feeling uneasy.

She was like a student waiting for her grades, anxious and unsettled.

In her mind, even though Chloe had abandoned her for so many years, she was still just Marina’s stepmother. Surely, she would pick her biological daughter over her stepdaughter, right?
