Even After Death

Chapter 182

Ethan saw the color drain from Olivia’s face when he walked in. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

She looked very pale and unwell, even to the untrained eyes. Her hands were also shaking slightly.

He frowned and quickly walked toward her.

“What are you looking at?”

Olivia did not try to hide it.

Ethan saw the horrible accident. The scene was bloody. It was no wonder she looked pale.

“There’s nothing to see here.” Ethan thought she accidentally came across the video.

He was about to turn it off before he realized something was wrong. That wasn’t a recent accident.

Olivia turned her phone off and asked with a seemingly casual tone, “So, you were at the scene of my father’s accident?”

Ethan did not know that this was the reason she wanted to harm Connor before. So when she suddenly brought it up, he looked her in the eyes and said, “Yes.

“I was headed for the G20 Summit that day. But there was an accident on the road, so I changed course. But I didn’t expect to get to the scene of your father’s accident.”

It was like what Olivia had thought. She was sure that someone was manipulating them in the shadows. And she almost became a tool for someone else’s revenge plot.

The person set up the incident with Leia’s gravestone to let Ethan misunderstand Olivia. Then, there was the car accident that

caused Olivia to misunderstand Ethan.

So, the person’s the reason why Ethan and Olivia were the way they were. This person was absolutely vile!

Ethan saw that Olivia’s face had become even paler. He realized that something was wrong.

He said, “Are you thinking that I was the one that planned that accident?”

He turned Olivia around by her shoulders.

He said with a stern expression, “Stop your unrealistic delusions, Olivia. If I wanted to hurt him, he would’ve died a long time ago.”

Ethan continued in an icy tone, “And if I had wanted to hurt him. I wouldn’t have dragged innocent people into it.

“I wouldn’t have used other peoples‘ lives to cover up the truth. I have countless ways to kill somebody without raising suspicion…”

Before he could finish talking, Olivia dove into his embrace and put her arms around his waist.

“I believe you,” she said.

Ethan reached out and held her chin. He forced her to meet his gaze. He was glaring at Olivia like an angry beast.

“I don’t know what you’re plotting. It’s true. Our breakup was ugly.

“I haven’t treated you well these two years. I can understand if you hate me or if you blame me for your suffering.

“I am also clear that we could not go back to how it used to be, Olivia.”

He held her tightly and continued, “Even if we hated each other, and the path forward is tough, I will never let you go. Because of you, I would never hurt your father.

“No matter how much I hated him, nor how much I wanted him to die.”

Olivia’s hand was hurting from his tight grip.

His gaze was intense. It caused her face to flush and her heart to beat faster.

Ethan slowly said everything he had been keeping to himself, “It’s because I knew that if he died, our relationship would be completely severed.

“That was why I wouldn’t let him die. I was the first one to call for an ambulance on the scene.”

Olivia was shocked. It seemed like she didn’t expect him to do something like that.

Given that it had come to this point, Ethan let out a deep sigh and said, “I have never had the intention to kill him back then nor right now.

“So you should keep your thoughts in check. It is below me to do such a thing.”

Olivia would never have believed him in the past. But she understood everything now, even if Ethan didn’t explain himself. She opened her mouth. At that very moment, she had an urge to tell Ethan about everything.
