eyes fell on Ethan after the person said that. Marina was still calling for help.
Otto said coldly, “There’s no need for hesitation. Tell her that you choose Marina.”
Chris patted Ethan on the shoulder. “Make your own decision. I won’t blyou, no matter who you choose.”
The person in the panda suit displayed an hourglass on the screen and said, “You have one minute to consider your options.
“If you don’t make a choice when the time’s up, I’ll choose for you.”
The sand in the hourglass fell quickly. Tbegan to slip away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEthan didn’t speak. He looked at the two women quietly. Marina was still crying for help, while Olivia was utterly silent. Ethan was sad that Olivia didn’t say anything to him.
At least when Chloe was asked, Olivia had begged to be chosen.
Ethan suddenly recalled the winter of last year. It was snowing heavily that night.
Olivia and Ethan both fell into the ocean. The first thing that cto his mind was Kurt, who sacrificed himself to save him. Marina was pregnant with Kurt’s child.
Ethan had noticed Brent jumping into the ocean with him. He was sure that Brent would be able to save Olivia. That was why he decided to swim toward Marina.
He didn’t expect Olivia’s leg to be entangled in a fishing net. It delayed her rescue and ultimately caused the death of her baby. Those were all unforeseeable tragedies that haunted Ethan.
He never got the chance to tell Olivia that he only cared about her from the start.
Things were different today. There was no way for him to save both of them this time.
When he closed his eyes, he could still see the image of Kurt bleeding out with a smile. “Don’t… Don’t cry. The general… has to survive. I chose to die for you willingly. Please… take care of my wife and child.”
Kurt’s hand fell lifelessly to the side after he said that.
Kurt was Ethan’s cousin. They grew up together, and they looked alike.
That was why Kurt becsomething like a body double for Ethan. He had a lot of body doubles like that.
They were hidden in the shadows and ready to die for Ethan anytime.
Kurt was the one who stayed with him the longest and was the only one who was blood-related to Ethan.
Ethan owed his life to Kurt. That was why he put up with Marina’s arrogance and cruelty.
He looked the other way when Marina took everything that belonged to Olivia.
The dresses, the villa, the hospital, and even the position of Mrs. Miller.
But it was their lives on the line now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn one side, it’s his promise to Kurt. On the other, it was the love of his life.
No matter who he picked, he would let someone down.
Marina noticed that Ethan had been silent for stime. She yelled, “Ethan, don’t forget your promise. You said you’ll always protect me!”
Olivia still didn’t talk. She just wanted everything to end.
She was sure no one would pick her. She didn’t want to beg any longer. She would rather die with dignity.
Chapter 276
She had had enough of begging. Once was enough.
One minute went by quickly. The final grains of sand fell.
The person in the panda suit said in a cheery voice, “Time’s up, Mr. Miller. Let’s hear your choice.” “My life for theirs.”
Ethan stood with his hands behind his back. He kept a straight face.
No one could tell what he was thinking, but his reply shocked everyone.
He didn’t choose between the two like Chloe did. He decided to save them both.
Ethan decided that if he had to sacrifice someone, he would rather sacrifice himself. “I die, they live. How’s that?”
