Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 1597

Ethan led Leia out of the hospital, who was miserable. She only suffered from a minor injury as she was grazed by a bullet. But from the look on her face, it was as if she had been fatally wounded.

Staring into the space, she sat in the back seat without a word. She looked like she was on the verge of falling apart.

Hearing the truth had brought an overwhelming impact on her.

At this moment, she felt nothing but guilt and conflict. Lifting her head, she stared at Ethan in a daze.

"Ethan, so this is the reason why you didn't kill me. You knew that this outcome would make me feel even worse than killing me."

Leia covered her face. Tears slipped through the gaps between her fingers. "I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to help him, but what did I do? I nearly killed his own sister. Damn it!"

Seeing how Leia was blaming herself for everything, Ethan sighed. "I'm not a god, nor do I possess the skill of foreseeing the future. The reason why I didn't kill you was that I was hoping you could turn over a new leaf and make amends for your past mistakes."

He placed his hands on Leia's shoulders as he slowed down his voice. "Leia, we were born into an extremely unhealthy family. Because of our parents, our mental condition isn't the healthiest either. It's easy for us to do something extreme.

"I made many mistakes in the past too. I have to endure it no matter what kind of punishment Olivia inflicts on me. I deserve it. I'm only alive now to repent all my previous sins.

"A mistake is a mistake. I can't help you get out of it. But if you're too hung up on your past, why did Mr. Avery save you back then?"

There was finally some hope in Leia's eyes the moment she heard Avery's name.

"Don't let his kindness go to waste. You must stay alive and look ahead. Even though the days back then were bad, you'll still be able to see the blue sky and warm sunlight.

"Leia, just stay alive and live well."

"You're right, Ethan. I have to stay alive, only then can I repay my sins."

Leia's gaze terrified Ethan. "What do you want to do? Olivia has her own plans, so don't do anything to Jacqueline. This is so that we won't ruin her plan."
