Chapter 79
Inside the hospital.
Ethan Carter slowly opened his eyes, the pungent smell of disinfectant filling his nostrils. Looking around, he realized he was in the middle of a hospital, and frowned slightly. He tried to sit up, but felt a pain in his head.
“Ethan, you’re finally awake! You don’t know how worried I was last night. I just went to get you some breakfast, so eat it while it’s hot.” Olivia Brooks walks in with breakfast in her hand and a look of joy on her face. She walks over to the hospital bed and puts
the breakfast on the table.
“What happened last night? Why am I here?” He asked with a slight frown of
confusion.
“Last night…… you were drunk, so we were together. After that you accidentally fell when you got out of bed and hit your head, that’s why you were brought to the hospital.” Olivia gently bit her lip, pretending to tell the events of that night, deliberately revealing those ambiguous marks on her neck.
Ethan looked at Olivia in disbelief as he remembered very little of last night, except that he had gone to a bar, gotten drunk, called Emma Johnson, and then she had dropped him off at home. He had no memory of the rest of the night. …
Ethan’s eyes turned dark, and a hint of inquiry and doubt flashed through his heart.
“Ethan, don’t you want to be responsible for me?” Olivia asked, aggrieved and pretending to be hurt.
“No, if last night was like you said it would be, I will be responsible.” He lowered his eyes, his voice cold, no emotion audible.
“Was Ms. Olivia with you at all times last night?” Ethan looked to Mae as if for confirmation, not believing Olivia’s one–sided story, because he remembered that it was Emma who was near him last night.
“Yes, sir, Ms. Olivia came back to take care of you as soon as she heard
drunk.” Mae echoed Olivia’s words.

“Yes, sir, Ms. Olivia came back to take care of you as soon as she heard you were drunk.” Mae echoed Olivia’s words.
Hearing this, Ethan’s face instantly darkened, looking at Olivia’s shy appearance, but his heart flashed through Emma’s cold and distant eyes, his heart suddenly felt a dull pain, as if he was being pressed with a huge stone, making it difficult for him to catch
his breath.
Though he didn’t want to believe it, the truth was right in front of him, and the ambiguous marks on Olivia’s body were indeed impossible to fake.
