Chapter 544
The night had fallen when Olivia regained consciousness. She heard criesing from the corridor.
Fighting through the grogginess, she opened her eyes. She didn’t move.
She stared at the ceiling with hollow eyes instead.
Everything felt like a dream. The haze in her mind rendered it surreal.
Ethan gazed at her with bloodshot eyes. His voice was very hoarse. “Liv, you’re awake.”
From his haggard face alone, it was easy for Olivia to tell that he had been looking after her for days
and nights consecutively without sleep.
She had received IV drips for the past few days. She didn’t eat anything.
He would press damp cotton bugs on her lips whenever they were chap.
Olivia almost couldn’t part her lips when she regained consciousness. She spoke with her eyes
instead.
“What do you want? Are you thirsty or hungry? Tell me.”
“I’m thirsty…”
ted that she finally made a request, he rose from his seat.
However, his sudden action incurred a pang of dizziness because he hadn’t rested or eaten anything
for days.
His tall stature was suddenly falling downward.
Fortunately, Ethan was quick enough to hold onto the table to support himself before falling.
Despite his heart-wrenching state, he hurried to the table to pour a ss of warm water for Olivia
without a rest.
She noticed that the clothes on him were the same ones he wore a few days ago.
Obviously, he hadn’t left her side after she fainted that night.
“Slow down, Liv. Don’t choke yourself.” He was wearing distinct dark circles beneath his eyes and a
stubble of beard around his jaw.
How was this haggard man the Ethan she knew?
Ethan was the prominent man who was always in his suit and could turn a ce upside down with a lift
of a finger.
He was treating her carefully, more carefully than before.
Olivia’s throat was so dry that it hurt. So, she kept quiet and drank the water.
After feeding her half a ss of water, he wiped her mouth with a tissue.
He caressed her cheeks as his eyes expressed sorrow.
No woman was as skinny as her after a delivery.
Ethan had carefully ministered to her for over six months, and she barely gained some weight.
However, they were back to square one after the recent incident.
It was as though she had returned to the time when they were having a divorce. She seemed so fragile,
like a delicate flower.
“Are you hungry? You can have fluid food now.”
Olivia didn’t have an ounce of energy as she nodded weakly.
Ethan asked someone to bring in porridge, which was prepared beforehand. He fed her little by little.
She ate slowly, and he was gentle. There was no sign of rush or impatience.
She was quiet. Her meek attitude rendered him anxious.
“Liv, are you alright?”
Olivia, who finally absorbed some energy thanks to the food, nodded. “You have some of it too.”
Ethan’s red eyes zeroed in on her. He seemed baffled.
She exined expressionlessly, “Ethan, although I hate you, this is a different matter. We’re allies when
ites to the
babies.
“I need your help to find out who that mastermind is. It doesn’t matter if it has to do with Leia.
“I won’t show mercy to them. I will not let her off the hook that easily the next time I confront her.
“You don’t have to worry about me having suicidal thoughts. I’ve given it a thought.
“I know what I’m doing. I won’t let Mona die in vain for me. I will live. I must live better than anyone else
out there!
“Since that person spent so much money to kill me, my existence must greatly impact them. I should

of it.
“Perhaps there’s a bigger secret behind this!”
Ethan watched the frailty on her face fade. The glint in her eyes changed as though she had
reincarnated into a zing phoenix.
After losing her babies, the resentment had morphed into her strongest armor.
