Olivia said innocently, "I witnessed a surgery with my teacher when I was a freshman.
"A renowned doctor's hands were shaking in the operating room. That almost caused the patient to die.
"My teacher was able to save the patient with great effort. Do you know who that doctor was?"
"Dr. Gatsby?"
"Yes. He has a neurological illness. Something like that is hard to cure. It gets out of control during stressful situations.
"Mr. Heath's surgery is an extremely difficult one. The stress would almost definitely cause him to relapse."
"So, everything was within your calculations?"
Olivia shook her head. "It's not part of my calculation. It's just fate. He made the operation harder for me. I might not be able to save Mr. Heath. You need to prepare for the worst."
Ethan didn't reply. He knew it wasn't Olivia's fault. Whether Mason lived or died, it was up to fate to decide.
He looked out of the window at the snow. Olivia was browsing her phone in boredom.
Ethan suddenly said, "The first time I met him was in the snow, too. He walked toward me with a smile on his face.
"He asked me if I was that Miller boy and told me I was just like my grandfather."
Ethan sighed.
"Back then, he wasn't in this position yet. Yale and I were the ones that got him to this position. He told me that he would treat us right.
"I never wanted profits. The Miller family doesn't need more money. I just want to be in a position that can protect the Miller family from harm.
"I've never felt warmth in the family since I was young, but I felt it when I was with Mr. Heath. He was like my teacher and the father I never had.
