Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller

Chapter 70
Ethan let go of Chris‘ collar and stumbled backward as Olivia’s words echoed in his mind.
“Ethan, I was wrong... Meeting you in this life was a mistake.”
She must have hated herself to the extent of giving up on her life.
For the first time, Chris picked up a hint of fear on Ethan’s face. After a long silence, Ethan finally questioned, “I went through her
blood test results. Why are the indices lower than average?”
“In situations like these, she’s likely having...” Chris stopped himself from telling the truth.
After a round of chemo, the patient’s blood cell indices would fall under the average. Although he had not performed health
checks for Olivia in the past two years, he highly doubted that she had cancer because she was healthy and young.
Statistically, cancer patients were mostly middle–aged or older. Since the situation was tense, he didn’t want to scare Ethan
before there was a conclusive result.
“Likely having what?”
“Nothing. Did you notice anything off with Mrs. Miller lately?”
“She fell ill a while ago, and she suffered an arm injury.”
“Oh, that could be the reason. Viral infections might affect the blood cell indices. She probably hadn’t fully recovered when she
took that cold shower. That might have worsened her condition.”
Ethan’s heart ached when Chris made the assumptions. Chris noticed the change in Ethan’s expression and added, “Mrs. Miller
is immunocompromised now, so please take good care of her. She can’t catch a cold and fall sick. I’ll increase the dosage of her
meds. The priority now is to get her fever down.”
Ethan’s arms hung limply by his side as he muttered, “Okay.”
Back at Collington Cove, Marina was elated when Ethan requested to see Connor. She was not informed of the circumstances.
The kid started bearing a close resemblance to his father. And she assumed that was the reason Ethan doted on him.

The more Ethan was interested in Connor, the more it turned the situation in Marina’s favor. She wasn’t too worried about her
place in Ethan’s life. Because she knew that he’d agree to register their marriage one day.
Brent showed up at the patient room with Connor in his arms. Olivia was still in critical condition due to the fever.
“Papa, I want a hug.” Connor extended his chubby arms toward Ethan.
Ethan took the kid and pointed at the feverish woman in bed. “Look! Who is that?”
Connor’s eyes lit up. “Mama! I want! Mama.”
Ethan gently placed Connor by Olivia’s side. “Give her a hug.”
The kid was very smart. He wriggled his way into Olivia’s arms without needing further instructions from his father. He then
eagerly rested his little head on Olivia’s inner elbow.
Ethan wiped away the tears on Olivia’s face and whispered in her ear, “Stop crying. Your baby is back.”
For a year or so, Olivia had been having the same nightmare, where a kid would cry and ask her for the reason she abandoned
him. But she never got to see the face of the kid.
This time around, she did not see any kid in her dream. Instead, she saw an endless ocean sprawling in front of her, and she
waded deeper into the waters. She was in a state of tranquility.
“Sweetie, you’ve waited for a long time. Mommy will be with you soon.”
“Mama!” Suddenly, she heard a kid’s voice from behind.
