Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316

That night, Olivia lay in Ethan’s arms. There was a storm outside, and the hull swayed from time to time.

For some reason, Olivia slept soundly.

Before this, she couldn’t sleep for the longest time. Even if she did fall asleep, her sleep was restless.

Even in her dreams, she was scared that she would be kidnapped again.

If it happened again, she would’ve died for sure.

In her dreams, Olivia kept mumbling, “Who exactly are you? Why are you trying to kill me?”

“Ah!”

Ethan held her tightly. In a tender voice, he spoke comfortingly in her ear.

“Don’t be afraid, Liv. I’m here.”

Slowly, Olivia’s emotions were soothed. But Ethan didn’t feel like sleeping at all.

Under the dim lights, he gazed at the contours of Olivia’s thin face. He touched her slender hands.

He couldn’t help but recall what Olivia looked like in the past. She used to be such a cheerful woman.

When she got married to him, there was still some baby fat on her face. She looked a little childish and innocent back then.

But now, she had lost a lot of weight. The contours of her face were even more exquisite now, but there was no longer any trace of what she used to look like.

He thought about their encounters in recent times.

Every single meeting ended in tragedy. It had been a long while since he last saw her smiling sincerely.

Ethan knew that Olivia was a strong and cheerful person.

If it weren’t for the trials and suffering in the past two years, she wouldn’t have lost her enthusiasm so quickly.

Reaching out, Ethan wanted to touch her face. But he stopped within just an inch of her cheek.

Regret invaded his heart. He didn’t want to believe it, but he was scared.

He was prepared to spend the rest of his life healing her.

But even so, when he thought of all the hurt she had endured for the past few years, he knew that he had no right to touch her.

Olivia slept for a long time. It seemed like she was trying to catch up on all the sleep debt she had accumulated for the past few

days.

When she opened her eyes again, the storm outside had faded. Looking out the window, she saw that the weather was wonderful outside.

Ethan was gone from her side. Even Snowball had disappeared from the cat bed.
