Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 818

They ended up staying on the island for over a month.

Life there was simple yet fulfilling.

Olivia's health visibly improved too. Although the tumor in her body was still there, she was more hopeful for the future.

Her relationship with Ethan also improved greatly after spending so much time together.

She didn't have much energy, so Alicia would play with Ethan most of the time. It was unavoidable for the three of them to have some close contact. Like when Alicia wanted to play at the water park, Olivia couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

Olivia had sat by the pool and did not intend to enter the water. Alicia could only look at Ethan.

"Come play with me, Uncle Logan," she said.

Ethan had been staying away from the water when he was disguised as Logan.

He had applied a unique sap on his body that could temporarily change his skin tone without damaging his skin. But the only side effect was that the sap couldn't come into contact with too much water. Otherwise, the color would fade.

Olivia hadn't seen through his disguise because of his skin tone. But the other reason was that he had also slimmed down a lot due to grief when Olivia faked her death.

Olivia had lived with him for years. Her impression of him remained rooted in his former physique.

He only had to alter his habits, figure, skin tone, accent and looks to keep her in the dark.

Olivia was very familiar with the scars on his body too. If they got revealed in the water, Olivia might be able to guess his true identity.

Ethan stood far away as he watched the interactions between Alicia and Olivia.

Alicia knew Olivia was sick, so she couldn't play to her heart's content.

Even Olivia looked at Ethan and asked, "Why don't you play with her for a bit?"

Ethan pretended to look at his watch. "I ordered some fruits this morning. They should be here soon. I'll go take a look."

Olivia was surprised. Logan never turned down any of her requests before. This was the first time.

She thought about it and realized he had never gone near the water other than when he jumped into the sea to save her.

Was he afraid of the water?
