Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288

When Ethan left the room, his body was cold.

Even after the long talk with Cecily, that same question kept ringing in his head. “Why is Olivia the person who’s dead but not me?”

He suddenly recalled the same question he asked Olivia about why the person who was dead was Leia but not her.

Now, he knew how much those words actually hurt.

Ethan wondered how Olivia put up with them.

He was watching a woman in the hallway. She was staring at the operating room with teary eyes in the hallway.

At that moment, he thought the woman was a pregnant Olivia.

“Mr. Miller, what are you looking at?” Brent followed Ethan’s gaze only to notice a stranger.

“Send me the surveillance footage in the hospital as long as it has Olivia.” Ethan’s voice was hoarse.

“Yes, sir.”

When Ethan was getting into the car, he almost tripped.

At this point, even though Ethan didn’t know what the truth was, it was highly possible that Jeff wasn’t Leia’s murderer.

The deeper he dug into the case, the more complicated it got. The number of people involved and incidents that were connected was increasing.

Considering that he hadn’t rested for days, he was exhausted. However, he wasn’t sleepy.

He lay against the leather seat, repeating the same question in his head. “If Jeff wasn’t the murderer, why did I torture Olivia for the past two years?”

The sheer thought of that possibility gave him a sheen of cold sweat.

Olivia was the woman Ethan loved the most, yet he kept hurting her in the most hurtful way possible.

She was scarred for life. Ahead of the final days of her life, she had been struggling to survive a hellish life.

Hugging his head, he grabbed his hair.

He was repenting for what he had done to her all this time.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Miller. Mrs. Miller will be fine.”

“Yeah, the opponent took Mr. Fordham away, but they didn’t hurt him.

“It’s obvious that he’s their trump card to lure Ms. Fordham out. This means that Ms. Fordham is still alive.”
