Chapter 402

It was an appalling spectacle. Ethan rolled Leia's sleeve up only to see scars fully mark her arm.Unable to believe what he was seeing, he rolled up her other sleeve as well.To his surprise, there were not only one or two scars from cuts. There were burn marks too. The scars look like a squirming worm. It pained him to see them covering her arms. "What happened?"Leia quickly withdrew her arms from him. Frantically, she said, "It's none of your business. As I said, I'll leave if you don't kill me. After that, my life and death don't concern you anymore."As soon as she finished, she turned and ran away without looking back.Ethan couldn't stop her.Shock overwhelmed him as he wondered what kind of life she had been through all this while.…With a gloomy expression, Olivia didn't utter a word in the room. She kept staring at her fingers in a daze. She didn't know what she was looking at either.Avery said softly, "Have you finished your business? We shouldn't stay here for

Chapter 403

Avery let out a bitter smile. "Logically speaking, it is easy to find a donor from the large world population. But it's hard to look for a donor through the normal procedures."Olivia understood what she meant immediately. Peace's Embrace and Toxic Hive split ways because of the difference in management ideology.Only a minority of people were willing to donate their organs. That was why a lot of lowly people got involved in human trafficking in the black market.A righteous person like Avery would never want to receive an organ through illegal means."Mr. Avery, would you like to have a crossmatch test with me before you leave?""Olivia, what do you mean?"She smiled. "As you said, I do think that we're somehow destined to meet each other. My kidney might be compatible with yours. If it's a match, can I strike a deal with you?"Avery frowned. "Olivia, what are you trying to do? You can just tell me. I'll help you out if it's something within my jurisdiction.""We can talk abou

Chapter 404

Ethan clearly wasn't buying it. If Olivia wanted to come to the hospital, why would she cause a commotion by leaving the house in the middle of the night?However, he couldn't treat her the way he always did. Leia's matter was fettering him with guilt.He walked next to her, looking at her gently. "Why did you come here in the middle of the night and shake the bodyguards off? What if you encountered danger? Didn't I say that it's still dangerous out there? You should have the bodyguards follow you around wherever you go."Olivia wouldn't mention Avery's matter no matter what.Ethan didn't dare to question further because he didn't want to upset her. She answered, "I couldn't sleep, so I came here."He caressed his thumb while testing the waters. "I heard that you took Avery's car. Are you close with him?""No. It's because we share the same surname and I saved him once. He needed to come to the hospital, so he picked me up while he was on the way." She glossed over her relation

Chapter 405

Ethan clearly sensed Olivia's aloof attitude. Had it been before, he would've forcefully taken her home.However, he couldn't bring himself to give her the cold shoulder now after what had happened—let alone say hurtful words.Guilt was devouring him."Liv, I know that many things have happened, and you're upset about them. Don't worry, I'll save your father as soon as possible. He'll be fine."Olivia, who was facing her back at him, coldly responded, "What's the use of that? If we can't find the mastermind, Dad might be harmed once more even after we save him. You promised to give me an answer to everything. When are you going to do that?"He would've been able to answer that question with confidence in the past, but not now.How could he tell Olivia that the culprit was his very own sister?That was his biological sister, whom he had wrapped up in cotton wool since childhood. Ethan had searched for Leia for a long time. It was a tough journey before they reunited.He would give Ol

Chapter 406

Ethan had his speculations all along, but he was able to confirm Leia's true identity now.Now that he had comprehended the whole story, Olivia should know the truth as the victim.He answered without opening his eyes, "I can't say anything for now. Leia must've gone through something during the past years."Brent gazed at him deeply before letting out a soft sigh. "Mr. Miller, I know that I shouldn't say some things, but there are only betrayals and misunderstandings between you and Mrs. Miller."I know that you care a lot about Ms. Miller, and we can't deny the fact that Ms. Miller has suffered a lot out there. But this shouldn't be a reason to hurt Mrs. Miller. The Millers owe her."Ethan suddenly opened his eyes, meeting Brent's gaze through the rearview mirror. "Say, should I kill Leia so that she can pay the price with her life? Even if Leia's dead, it won't change the past."Brent parted his lips, but he didn't say anything in the end.He knew that it was already too late to mak

Chapter 407

Amused by Chris' expression, Helen smirked. "Have you never thought that I could've staged my death?""Why?" He was hurt to hear that. "Why did you stage your death? Where have you been these years? What does it have to do with Toxic Hive?"She softly chuckled at the righteous man. "You're as easy to fool as always. You haven't improved despite so many years.""What do you mean?"She slowly rose from her seat and caressed his cheek. "Chris, oh, Chris. Do you know how long I have waited for this day?"The more Helen spoke, the more confused Chris became. He could not understand how that gentle woman turned into this kind of person."I don't get what you're talking about. Say, were you the one who orchestrated Marina's car accident? Why did you do that to her? She's your biological daughter!""Biological daughter?" She burst into laughter. "Chris, we do have a child, but the child died long ago."Chris' eyes widened as he clearly wasn't aware of that. "What did you say?"She giggled. "Yo

Chapter 408

"You don't love me, but I don't blame you for that. I kept assuming that time would help you get over it, and that you would fall in love with me someday."I didn't mind the cold treatment you gave me. I thought that you would love the child because we were a family. So, I wanted to take good care of her and see her grow up."But when I saw her slowly lose her vitality, I resented you to the bone for being heartless. How could you be that cruel? You'd rather give that bitch all of your love instead of giving a smidgen of it to us. So, I swore that I was going to make you regret it for the rest of your life."Her eyes turned ferocious as she continued, "Later, I found out that Chloe was pregnant. I lost my child, so how could she have a family and a child that loved her? Which was why I set everything up. I stole her baby right after she gave birth."Chris muttered, "That baby was … Marina!""That's right. Don't you love that bitch so much?" Helen's face was contorted with madness

Chapter 409

Helen blurted out the cruel truth, which was a huge blow to Chris. Coldness seeped into every part of his body.He didn't have the time to accept reality as rage inflated in him. He was on the verge of losing himself."Must you take it that far?" His eyes were red, and his voice was icy."It's still not enough, of course. I prepared you a second gift, and it's a huge one. You should enjoy it," announced Helen like a witch. "Do you know how many years I waited for this day to come? I was in hell every day you and Chloe were living a peaceful life. You should experience the pain yourself."Then, she kicked Chris' waist and broke free from his grasp easily.By the time he stood up while hugging his stomach, she was standing three steps away from him."Chris, I'm no longer the foolish woman who'd keep waiting for you to look at me anymore." She appeared sophisticated in that beige dress, but her eyes spoke of madness."I'm going to see your family ruined! Your wife and daughter are

Chapter 410

Standing at the door, Olivia saw all this before she even entered. A mocking look flashed across her eyes. She couldn't believe the sort of family her mom had married into.Other than Chris, no one sincerely cared for Chloe.In the past, Chloe did her best to please Otto, but Otto never thought of her as family.In the end, the person who suffered the most was Chris. If he had to exchange Marina's life for Chloe's, Chloe wouldn't forgive him when she woke up.Moreover, he had raised Marina as well. He had treated her like his biological daughter since she was young.He couldn't possibly make the choice.No matter who he chose, he would lose. He wouldn't recover from it.A nurse ran over to them. "You're the family members of the patient, right? She has woken up, and she wants to see you."Chris whipped his head around and then followed the nurse out. Olivia went after them as well.The doctor was standing at the entrance. "According to the patient's wishes, she wants to be tra

Chapter 411

In the end, Chris completed the procedures for Chloe to get discharged. He also made a meal at home. Chloe was extremely weak as she sat in the wheelchair.She kept calling Marina over the phone. She still missed Marina despite everything.To not upset Chloe, Chris didn't tell her the truth.She had done everything a mother should do. He didn't want Chloe to leave with regrets."Don't mind her. She has always been a stubborn girl, so maybe she'll come home in a few days.""You're right."Chloe only assumed that Marina hated her as always. So, she didn't insist much on it.At the table, Chloe kept telling Ethan to treat Marina well in the future. She told him not to hurt Marina, and that Marina was a good woman.Suppressing his coldness, Ethan promised to do what she said.Even though Marina wasn't present at the meal, Chloe was happy. She even drank some alcohol, and her face was flushed.She asked Olivia to watch the sunset with her. She was very talkative."Liv, if I knew
