Chapter 75
Ethan snickered as he took Olivia by the wrist and scooped her into his arms. He was a little rough with her because of his anger, and he pinned her legs against his body with his arms.
She tried to free herself but withdrew her hands when her fingers accidentally brushed against his neck. The warmth of his body lingered on her fingertips.
“Ethan, let go of me.” She struggled with all her might, but it was futile.

The heating in the room warmed up her freezing body. Unaware of the events, Connor stumbled toward her as though he wanted a hug
She reflexively reached out to hug him when she saw the tears and snot on his face. However, Ethan lifted the poor kid by the collar and instructed his men icily, “Send Connor home.”
“Got it.” Brent was relieved when he confirmed that Olivia was unhurt.
Chris cby and performed a checkup before hooking her to an IV drip. He advised her, “Your white blood cell count is very low. Please do not overexert your body. Or else, no one can save your life the next time.”
She merely grunted as she stared emptily at the ceiling like a ragdoll. Now that Ethan had trapped her and taken away chance at dying, what more could she do?

Chris cautiously followed the hostile Ethan out and almost bumped into him when Ethan abruptly stopped in his tracks.

He sensed that something was off from the chain of events earlier. Olivia, who had always been fit, had suffered from a low white blood cell count after a fever. Moreover, she jumped from the seventh floor without hesitation.
When he recalled her feeble condition and fainting spells, he believed that the issue was more complicated than it seemed.
Chris nodded. “Sure, Mr. Miller. We’ll get her a full checkup tomorrow. You don’t have to worry too much. She hasn’t done any checkups in the last two years, but there’s a low chance of her developing chronic diseases based on her past health records.”
“That better be it.”
Chris gave Ethan a respectful nod when the latter left the hospital. He was careful not to further anger Ethan at such a sensitive time. Then, he rushed back to his office, where he printed the list of checkups that Olivia had to undergo.
That night, Olivia’s fever finally went away. A nurse cin early in the morning to wake her up. “Ms. Fordham, it’s tfor a checkup.”
That immediately pulled her out of her groggy state. “What?”
The nurse patiently explained, “Ms. Fordham, you must undergo sadvanced checkups.” That sent a chill down her spine. She wondered if Ethan had picked up any clues on her condition.
