Chapter 318
Even After Death
Olivia noticed that Kelvin and Brent werenât there.
There were several servants and chefs on the island, though. Soon, a seafood feast was prepared for
her.
Without saying a word, she lowered her head and drank some soup.
Ethan felt uncomfortable with the eerie silence. Hence, he started a conversation. âLiv, you used to talk
a lot in the past.â
Olivia froze for a moment. He was right. She was quite talkative in the past.
Back then, Ethan was busy every day. He would either be on business trips or at work. He rarely had
time for her.
Olivia cherished every second she could spend with him. So, she was the most talkative during
mealtimes, which were supposed to be quiet.
She could chatter on and on. She choked on her food a few times and got into a coughing fit.
Still, she just drank some water and continued. Her face was filled with lively smiles.
But now, there were no smiles on her face. There wasnât even much emotion.
Putting her spoon down, Olivia wiped her mouth and reversed the question. âThen what do you want
me to say to you? Do I ask if work has been going well lately?â
Ethan was stunned. Before he knew it, he had already stopped communicating normally with Olivia.
Losing his appetite, he put down his fork.
He said helplessly, âI thought youâd be happy. There are coconuts, waves, the beach, and sunshine
here. We can go diving
tomorrow.â
Olivia chuckled. âAm I going to live here for a long time in the future?â
âYouâve lost a lot of weight. No one will bother you on this island, so you can rest and recuperate here.
âAs for your father, Iâve already sent men to investigate the matter. Iâll tell you as soon as I get any
information.â
Olivia replied, âYouâre just putting me in a different prison.â
But the cage was quite big this time. She didnât have to be caged in at all.
The sea was all around her, so she had no way of escaping.
She was the canary Ethan kept in a wildlife park. The cage had changed, but her identity remained the
same.
âI didnât mean it like that. I-
But Olivia didnât want to hear another word from him. âThe bedroom is this way, right? Iâm going back
now.â
Ethan looked at the table full of seafood she barely touched. His mood was extremely foul.
He wasnât simply imprisoning Olivia on this island.
For now, he hadnât figured out who the mastermind was. So, it would be dangerous for Olivia if she
stayed in Aldenvine.
He had received news that, even now, they couldnât find a matching bone marrow for Chloe.
Her parents had passed away within a span of a few years. Her relatives had already done the tests, all
except for her daughter,
Olivia.
There was a high chance that Oliviaâs bone marrow matched Chloeâs.
It wouldnât be a problem if Oliviaâs health was good enough when she donated the bone marrow.
But Ethan noticed that Olivia had been quite thin in the past six months. She also lacked energy, and
she often caught colds.
Setting aside physical reasons, more importantly, Chloe kept hurting Olivia.
When Olivia returned the phone watch to Chloe, her stance was clearer than ever.
If Olivia kept getting involved with Chloe, she would be hurt even more.
There was Oliviaâs physical and mental health to consider.
Ethan didnât want her to get involved in the muddled waters of Aldenvine. He wanted her to heal and
recover on the island.
But to Olivia, his good intentions were no different from imprisonment.
As Ethan watched Olivia leave, he was determined to speed things up.
He had a feeling that if time went by, the distance between him and Olivia would increase as well.
He wondered if he could still take the person he had abandoned back.
Olivia seemed to have turned into a different person within six months.
Ethan smoked some cigarettes outside before entering the room. He spotted Olivia taking the
medicine. Gripping her hand, he asked, âWhat pills are you taking?â
