Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 1181

Mason shook his head. "I'm fine. I'll wait here. Since we don't have anything to do, let's talk about you.

"I know you didn't intentionally hide your identity to get close to me.

"You've been actively using this Vanessa identity for two years, after all. You couldn't possibly know what would happen two years into the future."

That was why people should learn to think on their feet. A lot of trouble could be avoided with some quick thinking.

Only dumb people like Krystal would be manipulated by someone else.

Olivia told Mason about some of the things that happened to her. Even though she just glossed over the things that Ethan had done, Mason's gaze still grew colder as he looked at Ethan.

"So you hid your true identity for self-preservation?"

"Yes. We haven't found the people that tried to kill me. I've been investigating in secret all these years.

"But the person is a professional. There were scapegoats at every turn. I couldn't get to the mastermind."

Mason patted her on the head. "You've been through a lot."

The hardships she endured in the 20-odd years of her life were more than most people had to go through their entire lives.

As time passed, the snow started to fall heavier. Linus came back through the snow, carrying a sealed envelope in his hand.

"Dad, the test results are here."

"Have you taken a look?"

Linus glanced at Olivia with complicated emotions. "I haven't."

Mason took it with trembling hands.

Olivia, who had been calm, started to feel nervous as well.

Ethan wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "It's going to be fine either way."

Olivia subconsciously grabbed his sleeve.
