Olivia was sent to the emergency room.
Chris felt his world crumble when he heard about it. The ominous feelings he had had come true.
He immediately took the earliest flight from Aldenvine and went over to her.
Outside the emergency room, Ethan was there with his shirt covered in Olivia’s blood. But he paid it no
mind and his eyes slowly turned bloodshot.
Brent approached Ethan cautiously. After hesitating, he said, “Mr. Miller, I got someone to go to the
hospital Keith used to work at to retrieve Mrs. Miller’s medical record.”
Ethan stood with his hands behind his back and a cold expression on his face. He had been deep in
thought until Brent spoke to him.
Brent handed him the medical reports. There were two of them.
“The first report contains the results of the tests done when Mrs. Miller fainted while caring for Mr.

and discovered it was Stage Three stomach cancer.
“The second report was from when you’d asked Chris to give Mrs. Miller a full-body checkup. After
looking into it, we discovered the CT scan report had been tampered. The cancer would’ve shown up
on the scan, but someone bribed a doctor and altered the report so we wouldn’t notice.”
Ethan’s fingers trembled when he looked at the size of the tumor on the report.
He then looked at the date of the report and realized that the examination was done when he was out
doing the checkups with Connor.
Olivia, who had not been talking to him for three months, suddenly called him that day. Her voice over
the
phone was different from her usual self. She had sounded very fatigued and weak.
He could still remember her tone when she said, “Ethan, let’s get a divorce.”
She had found out that she had cancer at that point in time. She was probably terrified.
What was he doing then? He went back to a lifeless home with withered flowers in vases.
It was clear that something was wrong. Olivia loved life. She wouldn’t allow the flowers to wither if she
could help it.
Why didn’t he notice sooner? Why didn’t he believe her, even though she told him repeatedly that she

Ethan clenched his fingers and slightly crumpled the report in his hands.
When Olivia needed him the most, he had hurt her over and over because he wanted revenge. He
claimed to love her, but he was always the one who hurt her the most.
Keith stood behind Ethan.
He could only see Ethan’s lowered head, but not his expression.

recovery. But she gave up on treatment. Do you know why?”
Ethan knew the reason very well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe pressure she felt was crushing her. He had even hid the truth about his relationship with Marina
from her. Both her family’s situation and love life were pushing her to the edge. She had nothing else to
live for.
“It was me,” Ethan replied.
“Yes. You were the reason. She had decided to go through with treatment. I even got her through a
session of chemotherapy. The effects were good too. But that silly woman gave up again. She said it
was
because she owed it to you,” Keith said.
Ethan’s usually upright back was hunched over. His shoulders were trembling as tears rolled down his
face and fell onto the report.
Keith slowly walked toward Ethan, a proud man turned into a wreck.
He looked at Ethan coldly and questioned him, “So, did she really owe you anything? Or do you owe
