Chapter 494
That would mean Jack was a mercenary too. What about the weapons he stowed on the ind?
Brent quickly told Ethan about the danger Olivia was in.
Ethan promptly approached her and asked, “Are you hurt?”
Shaking her head, Olivia said, “No. I hid after the first shot was fired. Their goal must have been to
bring Leia away, so they didn’te after me.”

“It’s no longer safe here. Brent, move Olivia as soon as possible.
Ethan was worried that the mercenaries might have rigged the resort. And if they were detonated, no
one would have time to escape.
“Arrangements have been made. Let’s go, Mrs. Miller.”
Olivia looked like she wanted to say something. “I …”
“I know what you want to talk about. I’ll make time for itter. Liv, I can only tell you that these people
are dangerous. If they’re really after you, the situation will be dire.”
Ethan said seriously, “But you don’t have to worry. You’re still safe for now. Their goal was to take Leia
away. I’ll arrange for another safe ce for you to stay. Bring Liv back home, Brent.”
Olivia was about to leave when she saw that he had been hiding his hand behind his back. She looked
down at the carpet and saw a blood stain.
“You’re hurt.”
Looking away, Ethan said, “It’s no big deal.”
Olivia grabbed his hand and saw a deep cut on his palm that was bleeding profusely.
Brent quickly said, “Doctor!”
“Alright, it’s not safe here. You should leave first,” Ethan urged.
Olivia looked at the wound and recalled the day when she was bleeding. She replied with a nk
expression, “Okay.”
Olivia realized she didn’t have to concern herself with his injuries. They were no longer bound by any
rtionship. Oliva left firmly without even looking back.
Kelvin and Brent couldn’t help but sigh. Back then, Olivia would be so restless if Ethan felt so much as
a headache or got a mosquito bite. Needless to say, she would’ve freaked out if it was a huge cut like
this.
But now, she didn’t even care to ask about it.
Kelvin looked at Ethan’s hurt expression and said, “Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller really … doesn’t love you
anymore.”
Ethan clenched his fists and said slowly, “Take her away from here. Make sure she’s safe.”
Kelvin sighed and said, “Understood. But what will you do for the wedding tomorrow?”
“Proceed as nned. I’m not their target.
Marina was already crippled, so she was an easy target. Since she was still alive, it meant that she no
longer had any value. As for Ethan, Leia had hidden close to him for many years, but she never
intended to hurt him.
Everything that happened was rted to the Fordham family. If there were any trouble, it was sure to
be targeted at Jeff or Olivia. Ethan had hidden both of them well so that those people couldn’t find
Olivia.
As things were, Ethan knew he needed to find a new hiding spot for Olivia. He couldn’t allow Olivia and
the babies to be exposed to danger.
Ethan casually wrapped some gauze around his palm. “Let’s take a look at her room.”
Ethan took out the bullet that was shot into the wardrobe and said, “Get someone to run tests on it.”
“Yes, Mr. Miller.”
The room wasrgely the same as it was before Leia left. Other than the bed, everything was in order.
Ethan sat on the bed. He had been trying tomunicate with Leia for the past few days. He even
talked about their childhood and promised to bring her to visit their mom after she got better.
But no matter what he said, Leia didn’t reciprocate. She treated him like he was invisible and rarely
spoke up.
Ethan was sure that Leia didn’t be the way she was overnight. He wanted to get through to her
slowly because she had been physically and mentally traumatized. He thought that the day she opened
up to him would eventuallye.
He recalled how resolutely she left. And the words she said in her cold and hoarse voice, “Ethan, I can
never go back anymore. Leave me. I don’t want to hurt you. Just pretend that you never had a sister
like me.”
