Chapter 373
Ethan gave Kelvin some instructions. Then, he went upstairs with the cooled soup in his hands.
Sounds of washing up could be heard from the bathroom. Soon, Olivia emerged with droplets of water
clinging to her.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ethan. Their gazes met.
She hadn’t dried her hair, so it hung in wet clumps.
Her fair face was cold and stern. Her slender collar bones were exposed above the casual clothes she
was wearing.
Ethan discreetly looked away. He gulped a little.
When he saw Olivia like that, he was reminded of that enchanting dream. Even the touch of her skin
felt too real.
It was so real that he could still remember Olivia’s warmth and her heart-racing sounds.
“The soup is ready. Try it and see if there are any changes.”
Olivia had been bustling about all morning, so she didn’t get to have any soup. Her stomach was
already hurting long ago.
When Chris took her away from the island, she left in a hurry. She didn’t even bring her
medicine.

She had taken the medicine for two weeks, and in those two weeks, her stomach never hurt. She no
longer spat out blood as well.
Colin emphasized that she shouldn’t stop taking the medicine. She had to take it regularly.
But after she came back, she tried calling him to no avail. As a result of her stopping the medicine, her
stomach began to hurt again.
So, she didn’t want to torment her body any further. “Thank you.”
Ethan wanted to feed her the soup, but she avoided his hand. The temperature was just right,
so she downed it in one go.
Ethan grabbed a towel and gently dried her hair with it. His movements were tender, as if he was
handling something fragile.
He was careful beyond description.

Olivia only found it amusing. Still, she didn’t stop him from serving her.
After having her fill, she lay on the bed. “I’m going to sleep.”
She wouldn’t argue with Ethan anymore, and she didn’t reject his kindness. But she also stopped
talking to him unless it was necessary.
Ethan knew that the gap between them couldn’t be resolved with only a simple explanation.
He had no choice but to get up and leave. “Rest well.”
Olivia didn’t have time to care about his feelings. She had to be nicer to herself, and she would fight to
see another day.
She was no longer pessimistic.
She felt like she was grass growing in the mud. No matter how dire her situation was, she would risk
her life to crawl out of the mud and flourish.
She didn’t know how long she slept, but she was woken up by her phone. She was still in a daze when
she woke up.
“Hello.”
Chris’ hoarse voice spoke. “After you left, Chloe’s illness got even worse.
“The doctor has already issued an advanced directive. She only has three days left at most.”
Olivia’s sleepiness instantly disappeared. She scrambled to get up. “Don’t panic, Mr. Carlton. I’ll be
right there.”
She had finally reconciled with Chloe, and she experienced a mother’s love for the first time in her life.
But today, she received news that Chloe was going to die.
Olivia hurriedly changed her clothes. When she got downstairs, she was told that Ethan had also left

Olivia didn’t care where he went. She asked the driver to take her to the hospital.
When she arrived, Chris was sitting alone on the bench. He stared unblinkingly into the distance, his
eyes losing focus.
“Mr. Carlton,” Olivia called out softly.
Chris’ eyes were red. He said weakly, “You’re here …”
Olivia sat down next to him. “How’s Mom?”
“Many of her organs are failing.”
Olivia gripped her palm tightly. “How can that be?”
Chris looked toward the sky. “I want to ask the same question. Chloe is such a kind woman. Why did
she end up like this?”
He suddenly thought of something as he continued, “I won’t let her die, no matter what it
takes.”
“What are you trying to do, Mr. Carlton?”
The determination in Chris’ expression looked a little scary.
“Olivia, have you heard of an organization that does both good and evil? They can revive the dead.
“Their medical skills are far superior to the skills of international medical organizations. “If I can find
them, Chloe will be saved!”
