The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 3.1. 

Chapter 33 

Just one suitcase from Ethan had scared Stephen so badly that he was drenched in cold sweat, his shirt soaked through at the back. 

“But he should be suffering in prison now,” Stephen murmured. “He must be quite miserable at the moment.” 

Thinking about Ethan’s current situation made him feel a little better. 

Meanwhile, in prison… 

“Move slower. That mattress is very valuable. Don’t let anything happen to it. If Mr. Rivers. doesn’t sleep comfortably tonight, none of you will sleep!” Liam was directing others as they set up Ethan’s “cell.” 

“Also, install a doorbell by the entrance so Mr. Rivers can call us easily. 

“Make sure the floor tiles are spotless.” 

Ethan, standing nearby, was left speechless. He had repeatedly informed Liam that such setups were unnecessary, but Liam insisted on improving his living conditions. 

Had Ethan not stopped him, Liam would have torn down the cell walls and combined. several of them into one large room for him. 

Ethan said, “I’m now just a prisoner.”

“Mr. Rivers, we won’t allow you to demean yourself like Liam replied seriously, then glanced at the time. 

“It’s getting late. Mr. Rivers, please take a shower, and dinner will be ready.” 

For Ethan’s sake, Liam had specially installed a private bathroom in the prison, complete 

with a water heater, and made it clear that it was for Ethan’s exclusive use. 

Ethan was now living a life where everything was done for him. It was infinitely more comfortable than when he had stayed at George’s house. 

However, Ethan did not say much about it. After all, Liam was the chief, and Ethan was just here to serve time. 

By the time he was done with his shower, dinner was prepared. 

“Our head chef made it. I hope it’s to your liking, Mr. Rivers,” Liam said. 

The dinner was quite lavish, consisting of two dishes and a soup–a crisp garden salad, herb–roasted chicken, and a creamy vegetable soup. 

It was much more lavish than the meals he was used to. Being occupied with work and having to travel about for Riveria’s sake in the past, it was rare for Ethan to take any proper

meals. 

Had it not been for his excellent health, Ethan would have developed gastrointestinal issues long ago. Hence, it had never occurred to than that he would be eating normal, nutritious, and abundant meals in prison. 

While Ethan was enjoying his dinner, it was also dinnertime at the Lowe residence. However, that night, no one had much of an appetite. The day’s events had been too unsettling, and worse news was coming! 

Due to the tum of events that had transpired, any officials decided to resign. They were quitting! 

Ethan had done so much, going as far as using his own money to help poor and disaster- stricken areas and build new roads and schools. While no one expected him to be rewarded for his charity, surely he did not deserve to be punished for it. Yet, he still ended up in prison! 

Those ordinary officials feared their fate might be worse if they continued working. Some had worked with Ethan before, so they knew what kind of person he was and how important he was to Riveria. Some had even been promoted with Ethan’s help.
