Even After Death

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."

Sadie was moved to tears. "Thank you so much!"

Olivia only had a camisole left. She walked up to Ethan and leaned into his embrace. With her arms wrapped around his waist, she nestled her face on his chest.

"Ethan, I'm no longer that crybaby you once knew. I've matured, really.” Ethan looked down to see Olivia with tears in her eyes. He sighed and hugged her back.

He muttered in her ear, "Liv, what do you want from me?"

She tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. "Ethan, don't ever doubt my feelings for you. You're the only one I love."

Ethan took off his jacket and put it on her. "Liv, oh Liv. Why can't you be more obedient?"

“I want to help you, Grandpa, and the whole country. I'll kill Wayne if I need to."

They shared a long passionate kiss before Olivia broke free from his embrace. "He should be here soon. I need to leave.”

“Liv, no..."

"I'l be back as soon as I can.”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Olivia took off the jacket. "He'll be suspicious of me. My current identity is Ophelia from Canwell City. The reason I ran out this time was to look for you. You have to remember what I said.”

Ethan took a good look at her before making up his mind. He said hoarsely, "Okay, I got it. You have to take care of yourself."

"Okay."

Olivia talked to Sadie a little and rubbed Ethan's cheek before she left. In the past, Olivia was the one watching when Ethan left for work. This time, Ethan had to watch as she walked away.

He finally understood how she felt. He was already missing her before she even left his sight.
