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 sresponse.
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.

Olivia caressed his face and said, 'Ethan, you should behave while I am still attracted to you physically."
She was like a seductive but venomous snake hissing in his ear. "Or else, I can end this 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 killif 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?

It would have been better if she hadn't gotten involved with too many troublesmatters.
"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 forif I help you? Would you givecustody of Connor?"
