Chapter 1088
Olivia didn't know if she should be amazed at how accurate his intuition was.
"Ethan, what does that have to do with you? I'm not hiding anyone. But even if I was
hiding a man, you're in no position to intervene."
Her cold demeanor reminded Ethan of his response back when she asked about his
relationship with Marina. He said something similar to brush her question aside.
This time, Olivia gave him the same response.
That was true. They were no longer in a relationship. They weren't even lovers.
The night of passion was something he had to beg for.
If they really wanted to lay everything bare, the truth would only hurt Ethan.
He had no one to blame but himself. That was how he treated Olivia in the past. It was
retribution for his actions.
Olivia caressed his face and said, 'Ethan, you should behave while I am still attracted to
you physically."

ridiculous relationship whenever I want. What do you think?"
Ethan was at a loss for words. He was the weaker party in
this relationship. So, he lost the initiative and his pride. But he was still willing to be part of
it.
Ethan smiled in resignation. "But Liv, I didn't seek you out to do it. I need your help for
something."
Olivia moved away from him and sat down at the dining table. She supported her face
with her arm and said, "What can I do about something the great Ethan Miller can't deal
with?"
"You can remove bullets from the heart."
Olivia looked at him. "Who's been injured?"
If it weren't for someone important, Ethan wouldn't be asking her for a favor.
She started to think about everyone Ethan knew. No wonder he had been looking for her
in such a hurry.
"It's someone very important."
Olivia peeled a grape, "Tell me. How important is this person?"
Ethan pointed at the ceiling. Olivia's expression turned serious. "That man we see in the
news?"
"Yes."
"I don't want to do it. They'll kill me if I fail."
Ethan was amused. "We're not in the medieval ages anymore."
Olivia bit into the grape. It was sweet with a tinge of sourness. She liked that.
"There are a lot of renowned specialists by his side. Why would I be needed? You might
trust me, but the others probably won't. Besides, why would his death concern me? What
do I stand to gain?
She wasn't the young and naive she used to be. She was more alert and cautious than
before.

matters.
"If you save his life, you'll receive certain legal immunities and special privileges. I trust
you know the benefits of those gifts."
"What if I fail? It's something the other renowned doctors failed to do. I'm just another
woman. I probably can't do it either."
Ethan looked into her eyes. "But I trust that you'll succeed."
He licked his lips. "If you fail, I will shoulder all the responsibility. If you succeed, you'll
have helped me immensely, Liv."
Olivia knew of the rivalry between Ethan and Yale. She figured this was yet another one of
their competition.
She feigned ignorance but was hesitant. Did she want to help Ethan?
After all, this matter had nothing to do with his life, just his ambition.
A man like him had all the money he could ever need, and now he's trying to amass all the
power he could muster.
She licked the grape juice on the corner of her lips and asked, "What is in it for me if I help
you? Would you give me custody of Connor?"
