Chapter 78
The air froze from the tension. Chris interfered before the situation worsened. “Mr. Miller, we’re all
happy that Mrs. Miller is healthy.”
Refusing to waste any effort on Olivia, Ethan looked away and said emotionlessly, “You’d better
behave.”
In an outburst, she let out her pent–up emotions and threw her bowl of soup at the man who thought he
was always right.” Behave? Fuck you!” 1
He was the one who pursued her and asked for her hand in marriage. His possessiveness forced her
to give up on her future and freedom. Not only did hend her in the current mess, he dared to im
that she was faking her illness.
The soup dripped from Ethan’s tailored, luxurious suit. Seeing red, he gave her a death re and
marched up to her.
Sensing a huge fight, Chris jumped in and blocked Ethan with an anxious look. “Mr. Miller, the soup
must have slipped from her hand. Mrs. Miller, say something!”
She straightened herself and replied tly, “Yeah, it slipped.”
Chris sounded relieved. “Mr. Miller, you heard her. She…”
She boldly added, “If it hadn’t slipped from my hand, it would have hit you right at the back of your
head, you asshole!”
Chris was speechless. Olivia was adding fuel to the fire.
Ethan shoved Chris aside and went up to hiss at her through gritted teeth, “Olivia Fordham!”
Fuming, she grabbed a bottle of pills from the headboard and jumped out of bed angrily. Then, she
tried to smash the bottle on Ethan’s head. “Fucking bastard! I’ll fight you!”
Ethan effortlessly caught her weak hands and pinned them behind her back.
Defeatedin no time, she was red in the face, and her eyes were misty. Ethan feltplicated when he
saw this, and he felt more pain than resentment.
Finally, he drew a sharp breath to calm his anger. He flung her onto the bed and threatened,
“Remember what you did today. You’d better pray that you don’t fall into my hands.”
Her behavior was no different than waltzing across a field full ofndmines. He had to exert a ridiculous
amount of self- control to stop himself from grabbing her neck.
However, his warning only fanned the mes. She growled, “I would never ask you for help even if I
had to jump off the seventh floor.”
Giving her ast re, he left the room and mmed the door behind him. Then, he took his
bodyguards with him. Brent caught up to him and asked, “Mr. Miller, aren’t you worried that Mrs. Miller
might attempt suicide again?”
Ethan took off his jacket and replied with a serious face, “A woman like her would never consider death
seriously. I don’t want to waste time on her anymore.”
Brent frowned at Ethan’s conclusion. As a bystander, he had a clearer view of the events. No sane
person would bet on their life by jumping from the seventh floor, which might result in grave injuries or
death. Olivia could have died if Ethan had not gone after Olivia and Kelvin had not ced the intable
cushions in time.
Still, Ethan was adamant that Olivia was ying hard to get, and he wouldn’t have it otherwise.
Back in the room, Chris requested a nurse to clean up the soupy mess. He ttened the bed and
patiently advised Olivia, “Mrs. Miller, you can always talk things out calmly. You shouldn’t resolve to
extreme methods. Mr. Miller still cares about even stood guard outside your roomst night. So…”
Olivia was in no mood for his nagging. Instead, she questioned, “Mr. Atkins, could there be a mistake in
the results?” Chris immediately put on a straight face. “Mrs. Miller, you can insult me as much as you
want but do not question my professionalism. We ran your results through experts in the field. How can
there be a mistake?”

Then, he let out a relieved sigh. “I was shocked to see your low red blood countst night. I even
thought you had… Oh, by the way, did you receive any treatment before this?”
He took his duty as a doctor seriously and asked an additional question.
