Noticing Olivia's silence, Ethan continued, "I did do a lot of things that hurt you in the past, and I can't do anything if
you insist on leaving me.
"But other than being your ex-husband, I am also the father of your children. Even in court, I can have custody of
them or even visitation rights.
"Do you think it's fair to strip me of all those rights just like that?"
When Ethan said that, Olivia's expression shifted. "You're trying to snatch the children from me now?"
If they truly took it to court, she couldn't win against Ethan in terms of qualification. Olivia's calm expression began
to waver.
"Don't be upset, Liv. It was just an example. I didn't mean to snatch the custody rights of the children from you."
Ethan hastily coaxed Olivia.
"I just want to tell you my obligations. I also have the responsibility of protecting you and the children.
"On the island, you can relax and focus on healing, and the children can grow freely as well. You'll all be safe."

"Go ahead."
"Everly was also emotionally hurt. I want to bring her with me for a change of pace. We can look out for each other,
too."
"Sure. I'll have it arranged."
Ethan didn't see the victorious look flashing across Olivia's lowered gaze.
It wasn't a bad thing to be overly familiar with him. She could guess Ethan's plans right away.
"One more thing. I want to see Logan."
Ethan had an upset look on his face. "Liv, if it weren't for the special circumstances that night, do you think I'd let
him live?
"You want to see someone like that, but have you ever considered my feelings?"
"I just want to make sure that he's still alive."
"Fine. I'll send you there."
After paying the bill, Ethan walked out. It was already completely dark outside.
Snow drifted below the streetlights, and it looked extra romantic.
Ethan sent Olivia to the hospital. Joshua was keeping watch in the corridor.
"You're here, Ms. Fordham."
Olivia hastily asked, "How's Logan now?"
"He had dialysis last night, and he's still in the ICU right now. But don't worry, his life is not at risk anymore."
Olivia couldn't get close, so she could only peer through the glass. She could see the silhouette of a man lying on
the bed a distance away.
Olivia transferred some money into Joshua's account. She also told him to take good care of Logan.
Olivia didn't have any feelings for this man, only gratitude.
After that, she walked out of the hospital. Ethan was standing by the car, smoking.
The fiery red flickered at his fingertips.
The white smoke covered his face, hiding it from view.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe probably didn't expect Olivia to be out so soon. He put out the cigarette right away.
Disregarding the snow piling up on him, he held an umbrella and walked over to Olivia.
"He has already passed the life-threatening stage, and he'll get better after he rests for some time. I told you I
won't hurt him."
Olivia had confirmed it with her own eyes, so she was reassured.
Nodding, she said, "Alright. Please take me back, then."
"Liv, can I see our son?" Ethan had a pleading look on his face.
When they were on the ship, he played with their daughter every day. But Zack was a mischievous boy who got
separated from him after a fleeting look.
Olivia looked at the time. "It's too late. He's already asleep."
"I'll just take one look at him. Liv—"
"No need for that."
Olivia declined coldly. Since she had decided to walk that path, she would not soften her heart. She wouldn't look
back, and she wouldn't hesitate.
