Olivia felt a little helpless. Ethan's focus was entirely on her and Wayne. He didn't care about national pride or whatever ongoing conflict there was.
The only thing going through his mind at that moment was Wayne and Olivia becoming a couple!
"That's not the point, Ethan. Please help me, okay? I'll come back as soon as I get the ring. He won't know who I am."
Ethan would have agreed to any other request when Olivia was pleading with him in such a soft tone. But Olivia's actions were a provocation to his pride.
"That's impossible. I won't let you get into more danger. Wayne is one of the most dangerous people around. You have to come with me. You shouldn't be getting involved in this matter!"
Olivia's tone grew cold. "Okay, you won't help me, will you? Since you can't help me with my work, there's no need for us to be together anymore…"
Ethan smiled bitterly. "Liv, please don't threaten me with this."
"Ethan, three years ago, you were sent to the emergency room and I was slapped by Krystal while I was waiting for you in the cold and dark corridor. Do you know what went through my mind back then?
"All of the medical staff looked down on me, but I couldn't do anything about it. I could only watch as Krystal gave you her blood.
"I heard them saying I was a jinx and a trophy wife. They wondered why you would marry someone as useless as I was.
"While you were undergoing surgery, I was sitting outside of the operating room. The door was like an impenetrable barrier between us. We used to be so close, but we were from different worlds to begin with.
"I could only watch as you left to go on missions. Meanwhile, I was in the empty and lonely home all by myself, waiting for your return.
"I've had enough of that life. I want to be reborn. I want to be someone who serves our country and our people. I want to embrace freedom."
Sadie's baby was born suddenly. Olivia quickly went over to tap the baby's bottom. All of them sighed in relief when the baby started to cry.
Olivia quickly picked him up and cleaned him in the basin of water she had prepared in advance. She wiped the baby down and took off her shirt to wrap the baby in it.
She put the baby in Sadie's arms. "It's a healthy baby boy."
