Chapter 756
Even After Death
With trembling hands, Ethan picked up the wedding ring and the letter.
The act of opening a letter was so simple, but his hands kept trembling as if he had Parkinsonâs.
Brent said in a low voice, âMr. Miller, let me do it.â It didnât matter that much whether he read the letter
or not.
Everyone had already guessed the ending.
Still, Ethan took out the letter in terror and agony.
The familiar handwriting came into sight.
In the past, she would write him letters in secret when he was out on business trips.
She didnât know the address, so she would put the words she wanted to say into a bottle and then bury
it in the garden.
After he discovered it by accident, every time he came back, the first thing he would do was to go to
that secret hole and dig around to check if there was new mail.
Back then, she wrote like an adorable teenage girl.
But this letter was different.
Not many words were written on it, but every stroke conveyed farewell.
âEthan, itâs too painful to live.
I donât want to hold on anymore.
Farewell.
I only desire the sweet release of death.
Death has done us part.
âFinally, Olivia.â Tears welled up in Ethanâs eyes, and it began to drizzle.
Drops of water dripped onto the letter.
No one could tell if it was Ethanâs tears or the rain from the sky.
Holding the letter to his heart, Ethan slowly got on his knees.
He mumbled, âLiv, I was wrong Come back.
Donât die.
I should be the one to die instead.â He gripped the ring tightly in his hand.
She had once sold and thrown away this ring, but in the end, he still managed to find it and bring it
back.
He would never forget Oliviaâs smile when she put on the ring.
âAfter I put on this ring, Iâll be your woman.
The rest of my life is yours, hubby.â In the period when he gave her the cold shoulder, she never once
took the ring off.
After she lost weight, he even had the ring adjusted a size smaller.
Now, the ring had returned to its owner.
She gave her farewells and said that death had done them part.
How cruel.
They were so deeply in love in the past, but now, they ended up being separated forever.
Ethan kissed Oliviaâs ring.
Then, he took off his ring as well.
He placed the two rings neatly together, He slowly got up.
Staggering, he walked toward the beach.
His mind was filled with images of Oliviaâs face.
âEthan, donât leave me alone.
Iâm scared of the dark.
âLet me go.
Please donât treat me like this.â Ethan mumbled, âLiv, donât be afraid.
Iâm coming to keep you company right now.â It was very dark at the bottom of the ocean.
She must be terrified.
He couldnât imagine how painful it must have been for her when the water rushed into her lungs.
She chose to leave this way, so he would go the same way to keep her company.
He thought, âLiv, I told you.
Even in death, I wonât let you go.
Let us die together, alright? With me around, you wouldnât have to be scared of the dark anymore.â The
ocean breeze blew toward him, bringing with it a hazy mist.
The surface of the sea was fogged over, just like his chaotic life.
He had already lost direction.
He continued to think, âLiv, did you think of me when you left? Be it love or hate, weâll leave it all
behind.
From today onward, weâll spend eternity together.â Kelvin and Brent sensed that something was off.
They hastily stopped Ethan.
âMr. Miller, please calm down.
You still have Master Connor.
You canât die.â âYes, Master Connor has already lost his mother.
If you die, he wonât have a father either.â The word âfatherâ pierced Ethanâs heart.
He recalled his childhood.
But he only hesitated for a moment before making his choice.
âTell Mom that Iâm sorry I canât be around for her anymore.
Tell her to take good care of Connor.â With that, Ethan flung himself into the sea without consideration.
âMr. Miller!â
