Chapter 418
Even After Death
Ethan looked at Leia, who was in his arms. She was heavily wounded, but she was smiling. She looked
like a proud general that had won the war.
âEthan, I won.â Leia fainted in his arms after she said that.
Ethan was panicking. He knew he had lost Olivia forever.
Avery didnât expect Olivia to be hurt.
Colinâs eyes became bloodshot as he said, âOlivia, your arm!â
âIâll be fine, Colin.â
âHow could this be fine? Youâre going to be a doctor. This injury will cost you your career.
Colin tended to her injury urgently while lamenting her fate. Colin became a doctor because Olivia
inspired him to do so, but Olivia ended up like this.
âA doctorâ¦â Olivia lay on the bed and smiled weakly.
Olivia did want to be a good doctor back then, but Ethan dashed her dreams and made her submit to a
life as a housewife. And this time, he destroyed her hand. Her life was a mess because of him.
She could still feel a piercing pain in her heart when she thought about Ethan. The pain would spread
from her heart to every corner of her body.
âI donât want to be a doctor anymore. Never again,â Olivia said slowly as she closed her eyes.
Not even in her wildest dreams would she expect Ethan to be the one to stab her in the back.
Avery sighed deeply when he saw the hollow expression on Oliviaâs face. He didnât know how to
comfort her as an outsider. He wasnât related to her, but he kept having the urge to help her. Olivia was
around his sisterâs age. Oliviaâs life was too miserable.
âOlivia, bear with it for a bit. Iâll be taking out the bullet.â
âAlright. My hand will become useless, right?â Olivia asked as she opened her eyes.
Colin paused momentarily, then said, âIâll try my best to fix it.â
He cursed at Ethan inwardly as he dressed the wound.
Ethan wasnât able to keep Avery from leaving. He didnât have time to plan for that. Although Leiaâs
wounds werenât fatal, she was too frail. He only realized her body was in a far worse state than he had
imagined.
Night had already fallen after Leia was settled down. Ethan sat on the steps and smoked one cigarette
after the other. No one knew what he was thinking, but they could see his fingers shaking
uncontrollably.
Standing behind him, Brent said, âMr. Miller, the deed is done.â
That was true. It had already been done. It had been five hours and three minutes since Ethan shot at
Olivia. It had been hours, yet his hand was still shaking uncontrollably.
He loved her so much. She was his Liv. He still couldnât believe he shot her.
âDonât be too hard on yourself, Mr. Miller. Leia is your sister. You had no better options in the heat of the
moment.â
Ethan exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled bitterly. âI shot Liv. I actually shot her. Sheâll never forgive
me.â
âMr. Miller, Ms. Miller woke up.â
A spark of life returned to Ethanâs eyes. He dusted himself off and stood up. Countless emotions
surged within him when he walked to Leiaâs side and saw how weak she was.
Leia smiled at him brightly. âEthan, thanks for coming in time to save me.â
