Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 413

Chapter 413

1/2

Under the pouring rain, Olivia stood in front of the grave for a long time. Her body was quite soaked by now. Unable to ignore it any longer, Ethan spoke up. “Let’s go back. It’s getting late.”

Olivia stood there silently, looking like she would disappear at any moment.

Once again, she lost a family member. She looked even lonelier now, and Ethan’s heart ached even

more for her.

Reaching out his arms, he wanted to hold her in his embrace. But Olivia looked calmly at him from under the black umbrella. Her gaze was so cold that it startled him.

“Don’t be sad, Liv. You still have me.”

But she was sad exactly because she had him.

When the mountain breeze blew past, Olivia’s lone figure looked even more determined.

Without another word, Olivia walked away. She had nothing to lose now.

Ethan felt uneasy when he noticed Olivia’s silence. He convinced himself that he needed more time to eventually heal the hurt in Olivia’s heart.

Seeing that Olivia had returned to her room once they were back home, Ethan finally sighed in relief.

Then, he went to the study.

Brent reported honestly, “We found something about Ms. Miller. Back then, she was kidnapped and

sold to the remote mountains in the south as a child bride.”

“A child bride?” Ethan spat the syllables from his mouth.

“Yes. The mountain village was small and poor. The villagers were ignorant back then. Ms. Miller didn’t have a good childhood.

“I heard that she didn’t have much freedom to move, and the food she ate was terrible as well. She even had to farm at a young age. She would be punished severely if she did something wrong.”

Ethan’s veins surfaced on the back of his hand. Leia was very young when she was kidnapped.

She was the esteemed young lady in the Miller family. Ethan couldn’t accept the fact that she was

treated like that.

“Is that family still alive?”

“They died. They were burned to death in a huge fire many years ago. Ms. Miller probably escaped

because of that fire.”
