Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Olivia stared at the pale moon in the sky, which was an apt reflection of her miserable and meaningless life.

She no longer wished to be involved with Ethan and sought death. In death, there would be no love or hate. Perhaps, he might give up obsessing over her if she were dead.

To her surprise, Ethan jumped and grabbed her wrist when she plunged from the balcony.

Connor was disturbed by the scene and hurriedly hopped off the bed. He then jogged out of the room to look for Brent.

Brent was smoking outside the room but put it out when he saw the kid stumbling toward him. He crouched and patiently asked, “Hey, Connor. Why are you out here?”

Panicking, Connor explained, “Mama … Cry…” He attempted to communicate with gestures, but Brent had no idea what he was trying to say.

Brent lifted Connor into his arms. “I’ll send you back to the room. It’s cold out here. You shouldn’t catch a cold.”

Meanwhile, Ethan was holding onto Olivia’s hand. She looked at him emotionlessly. “Ethan, I thought you hated me. You’ll get the revenge you wanted for your sister if I die.”

Half of his body was dangling out of the window in an attempt to hold onto her. The veins on his arms were bulging, and his temples were throbbing. He grabbed her tighter and hissed, “Olivia, I’ll kill your dad if you try to kill yourself!”

She flashed him a half–smile. “He’s in a coma anyway, and he might never wake up. Maybe death would be a relief for him.”

“Who says he’s never waking up? I tracked down Leo. If he leads the surgery, your dad will have an 80% chance of waking up. You were in the medical field, and you must have heard about his reputation.”

Finally, he caught a glimpse of change in her expression. He worked on coaxing her, “Sure, I hated you and your dad. But now, your family’s done for, he’s in a coma, and we’re separated. I no longer resent you.”

A falling piece of a snowflake was caught in her long lashes. It looked like the brittle wings of butterflies.

“Ethan, you have a new family, and I no longer want to be in this world. Please let me go. It’ll be good for both of us.” She knew very well that Ethan’s ceasefire was only temporary.

She added, “We’ll never return to where we were. Never.”

He stared at her bloodied wrist with fear in his face. It was rare to see him in such a state.

She beamed. “Oh, looks like you’re scared of me dying. Would that make you remember me forever?”

“You cannot die without my permission. I’ll hold you tight, and you can get yourself up with my help.” He wanted to pull her up when Brent burst into the room. Brent almost lost his mind at the terrifying scene of Ethan dangerously hanging out of the

window.

More importantly, Olivia seemed dead set on dying, which complicated the rescue efforts.

Brent quickly called the bodyguards on the ground to get them prepared. Then, he placed Commor on the bed and joined the rescue. “Mrs. Miller, every hardship is only temporary. Just tell Mr. Miller what’s going on, and I’m sure he will agree to help. Please don’t throw away your life. You’re still young with a long road ahead of you.”

With Brent’s help, Ethan managed to straighten up as they dragged Olivia further up. However, she was determined to meet
