Chapter 539


    “Don’t overthink it, Mrs. Miller. Hold on, Mr. Miller will be here soon. This is our mission. We will protect


    you no matter what happens.”


    “Thank you, Dr. Wells. Thank you for looking after me for the past few months.”


    Olivia’s sudden remark at such a time made Cody feel uneasy.


    “Do not give up, Mrs. Miller. We will get out of here. We will.”


    “Get out of here? Where to?” Olivia raised her head to look at the somber sky, and only raindrops


    pattered on her face.


    “Actually, I know that my father is not left with much time. He can stay alive until today only because of


    the machines and medicine. He has long lost the will to live.”


    “Mrs. Miller…”


    “Dr. Wells, my friend once told me that I was like a small sun that shines brightly. But the illuminance


    that emanated from me slowly dwindled.


    “I’m wrapped up in darkness. I had a muddy period myself.


    “At that time, I tossed and turned and struggled. I didn’t want to admit my fate, nor did I believe in


    destiny.


    “Even if a faint ray of light recurred in my life, I held onto it with all my might. I treasured it.


    “I carefully held onto it, which revived the wish to live in me. But I still lost everything in the end.


    “Not only that, why do the people around me have to suffer, too?”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “It’s not your fault, Mrs. Miller. It’s the mastermind’s fault.”


    Olivia was still immersed in her thoughts, and her eyes were empty. “No. It’s my fault. I’m the cause of


    your suffering. They wouldn’t have died if it wasn’t because of me.


    “The people around me are bound to be unfortunate. I don’t want to drag you guys into this, Dr. Wells.


    Let me down.”


    “What are you talking about, Mrs. Miller? How can we give up on you? I will protect you until myst


    breath.” Cody wore a serious expression.


    “Why? You’re also precious to your parents. I’m not going to live long anyway. You have a beautiful life


    waiting ahead of you.” Olivia began struggling toe down from Cody’s back.


    When she finally caught her bnce while standing, she shouted at the men in ck, “You want my


    life, don’t you? Fine, take it. Do not hurt other people.”


    Owen had fallen on the ground. Now, one bullet was all it would take to end his life.


    Still, he didn’t give up. “Mrs. Miller, No!”


    The leading enemy stomped on his chest. “It’s best you have that sense in you, Ms. Fordham.


    “Our target is you. As long as you’re dead, we won’t hurt anyone else. And our job will be done here.


    Everyone will be happy.”


    “Before I die, I wanna know who the person who wants my life is.”


    “Sorry, we don’t know anything about our benefactor. Even if we know, we won’t spill it. This way, Ms.


    Fordham.


    “If youe with us on your own ord, I can at least protect your dignity and let them go. For your


    information, many of my friends died just to kill you.”


    Cody quickly grabbed Olivia’s hand. “Don’t think of doing anything, Mrs. Miller. Do not give up until the


    end. You have to live. You must!”


    Olivia gazed at Cody deeply, who was only 30 years old and unmarried.


    Olivia felt that Cody had a bright future ahead and that her life shouldn’t end here.


    “Dr. Wells, please live a good life if I’m dead. Do bring your children to me when you have a family.”


    “Mrs. Miller…” Cody wanted to say something, but she didn’t utter a word in the end.


    “Do you know what’s the most painful thing in life? It is not being able to protect any of your children


    when you’re the mother.


    “Had I known this would happen, why would I even care for them?


    “I gave them life to bring them to this world, but they didn’t even see the morning sun once. I’m a


    sinner, a sinner with grave


    sins.


    “I should go keep thempany. They’re so little. They must be scared to cross the River Styx alone.”


    After that, Olivia broke free from Cody’s hold and jumped into the sea.


    She could scarcely hear an agonizing scream along the wind that shouted, “Liv!”


    “Goodbye, Ethan. May our fate end here,” thought Olivia.


    The moment she fell into the sea, she felt calm.


    She let herself sink deeper into the sea without struggling.


    She thought, “I’m here for you, my babies. Please wait for me. I’ll bring you guys to River Styx. Let’s


    stay together forever, okay?”
