Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292

Despite knowing that Colin had made comprehensive arrangements, Olivia contacted a few people for help.

However, something unexpected happened when they were moving Jeff.

When it was time for Olivia and Colin to meet up, he hadn’t returned.

It was a starless night. But the yard hadn’t lost its wholesome atmosphere.

Cherry blossoms were dancing under the dim light.

Olivia made a wind chime and hung it on a tree branch.

The fragments struck each other along the wind. The continuous tinkle made her anxious.

She was worried about Colin.

As the wind chime continued to clack, the wind blew it off the branch.

The sound it made when it fell onto the ground elicited uneasiness.

Before Olivia could pick it up, someone stood next to it.

Colin picked it up and flashed her a bright smile. “Olivia, I’m back.”

She ran toward him anxiously. “Colin, are you alright?”

He nodded and played with the wind chime. “What could’ve possibly happened to me when you’re worried sick for me?

“There was some trouble, but I managed to take Mr. Fordham away. I took him to a safe place.

“That’s why it took me so long. Sorry for making you worried.”

Olivia heaved a sigh of relief. “What trouble?”

“Aside from us, there are a few arrogant men shooting guns at innocent people. Ethan’s men came too.”

She felt a sheen of chill behind her. “It must be her.

“She’s trying to use my father to lure me out! Were you hurt?”

Colin recalled how those men were killed and how their blood splashed against the walls.

He put on an innocent smile. “It was a mess. I was trying to keep Mr. Fordham safe, so I wasn’t in a state of mind to mind those people.

“Fortunately, I hired some mercenaries this time. Plus, your men killed the enemies and secured a way out for us. I almost lost my life there.”

Noticing that he shrunk his shoulders unnaturally, she stepped forward. “Were you hurt?”

“No, I’m not. Don’t worry.”
