Kelvin hastily got someone to bandage Olivia's wound. Now, Olivia was wholly focused on Ethan, so she didn't feel
the pain at all.
The doors to the operating room opened. Krystal walked out.
When she walked in, she was spirited and noble. But when she came out, even her lips were pale.
She needed help to walk, too.
She must have drawn too much blood, so her limbs had weakened.
When Krystal came over, she was in such a hurry that she didn't notice Olivia. Now, as Olivia observed her, she was
examining Olivia as well.
She recognized Olivia right away.
Olivia was the woman Ethan always had on his mind.
After the operation, Krystal was also aware of what happened just now. With Ethan's capabilities, he would be able
to protect himself under any circumstances.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if he got hurt, he wouldn't allow himself to get so seriously injured.
Almost his entire back was wounded, so there could only be one explanation.
He was shielding someone.
Who would be the woman he was protecting under his body? Krystal didn't even have to think to figure it out.
Krystal was already quite weak by then. Still, she strode firmly toward Olivia.
Before Olivia could say anything, Krystal raised her hand and slapped Olivia across the face.
Kelvin didn't expect Krystal to behave like that. He hastily stepped forward, stopping Krystal. "What are you doing,
Krystal?"
Krystal completely ignored Kelvin. She stared at Olivia with a vicious look in her eyes.
She looked like a hungry wolf, wishing she could tear Olivia apart and swallow the latter.
"Who do you think you are? Do you seriously think you're worth sacrificing his life for? Even if you lose your
wretched life thousands of times, it's not even worth his one life!"
Olivia was still worried about Ethan, so when an unfamiliar woman slapped her without any warning, she was
stunned.
The words the woman said were extremely hurtful, and they could even be considered vicious.
Olivia licked her lips, looking at the woman coldly. "Who I am is none of your business, and you don't have a say in
how he makes his decisions."
Ethan's love for her was her greatest source of confidence. Krystal suffered utter defeat in this aspect.
Kelvin hastily tried to lighten the atmosphere.
"Krystal, the situation was dire back then. Also, Mr. Miller did it willingly. Don't blame Mrs. Miller for that. She was
hurt, too."
"Mrs. Miller?" Krystal sneered. "Didn't they get divorced a long time ago?"
Kelvin had an awkward look on his face.
Everyone knew that she secretly liked Ethan. She had always been subtle about it, so everyone pretended they
didn't know.
But unexpectedly, when she saw Ethan getting hurt today, she immediately shouted at Olivia and insulted the latter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Krystal, in Mr. Miller's eyes, Ms. Fordham will always be his only wife. If not, he wouldn't have risked his life to
protect her tonight.
"Well ... You've drawn a lot of blood, so you must be feeling very weak. You should go back and rest for now."
Before Krystal left, she said to Olivia, "His only wife? You still became his ex-wife, didn't you?"
It was like cold water being poured on Olivia's body.
Krystal wasn't the only one who treated her with enmity. Even the doctors passing by pretended not to have seen
her.
Even the medical staff who bandaged her hand had come because Kelvin begged.
She was like the outlier who had accidentally entered this world. No one welcomed her.
Kelvin suggested, "It's getting late. It's serious business to remove the shards from Mr. Miller. And no one knows
how long that'll take.
"You should rest for now, Mrs. Miller. With your health, you can't stay up for too long. When I get news of Mr. Miller,
I'll inform you right away."
Ignoring the cold looks from the others, Olivia straightened herself.
"It's okay. I'll wait for the news here."
She touched her cheek, which was swollen from the hit. She would return that slap someday.
