Chapter 334
Olivia took it easy for two more days. As long as her phone was on, Chris’ messages would keep coming in, so she turned it off.
She lay in the soft and spacious bed as she looked at the horizon.
Although the island was a great place, she kept thinking of Ethan’s words. She wondered when he would cand take her back to the city. She was eager to go back.
She had tto wait, but the scouldn’t be said for Jeff. It was almost tfor his operation. She called Ethan again.
“What’s wrong?” Ethan sounded tired.
“I want to go back now, Ethan.”
“Givestime. I’ll cget you myself.”
“But… I want to go back now.”
“I need smore time.” Ethan couldn’t let her know what he was doing. He could only guarantee her safety after he cleared out all the threats in the city.

Olivia didn’t want too many people to know about Jeff’s condition, so she didn’t tell him.
“It’s nothing. I’m just worried about my dad. I haven’t heard any news about him.”
“Liv, he’ll be safe as long as you don’t show yourself. Wait foron the island.”
Ethan had had his men look into what happened that night. The people who took Jeff seemed to be from Toxic Hive as well. He didn’t understand why one organization would send two different groups for the sjob.
The entire matter seemed to be shrouded in mist. The truth was right before his eyes, but Ethan couldn’t seem to grasp the whole story.
He thought about the cleaner that was responsible for cleaning his office. She cared about him a lot. Once, he was sick and had a sore throat while at work.
The cleaner heard him cough and brought him sstew the next day, which she said was good for the thr
Ethan didn’t have the heart to turn down her kindness, so he drank it on the spot. The curious thing was that his coughing stopped on the sday. Usually, it would take at least two days to recover from that, even with cough medicine.
There were plenty of other instances like this. The cleaner cared about Ethan and didn’t want to see him hurt.
But the care she showed wasn’t that of romantic love. It felt more like the love of a family member. That was why Ethan had always been good to her. He never looked down on her even though she was a cleaner.
Brent saw Ethan frowning and said, “Mr. Miller, it’s getting late. Why don’t you get srest?”
“I’ll go over these for a little while longer.”
He thought he had missed something.
“Mr. Miller, why didn’t you agree to Mr. Carlton’s terms? They’re pretty beneficial to you. Donating bone marrow won’t impact Mrs. Miller’s health too much.”
“But I’m afraid that she might feel sad, Brent…”
Ethan pinched his brow and lowered his head. He said softly, “I don’t want to hurt her anymore.”
“But this is a great chance for you to formally break off the marriage with Ms. Carlton. You might never get another chance like this.”
From Brent’s perspective, Chris’ offer was nothing but beneficial to Ethan. He didn’t expect Ethan to turn it down.

He even turned it down at the risk of offending Chris.

It was his promise to Kurt that bound him. He had promised to take care of Marina for him.
“Mr. Miller …”
“Let’s stop talking about it. Do something for me. Liv is anxious to cback. I don’t have the tto deal with them slowly.”
Brent said sheepishly, “Yes, Mr. Miller.”
Ethan gazed into the night. Steeling his resolve, he promised to compensate Olivia for all that she had lost.
At the hospital, a conversation was taking place.
“Mrs. Carlton isn’t in great shape, Mr. Carlton. Her condition has been deteriorating very quickly. We need to get that bone marrow as soon as possible.”
“I understand.”
Chris left the doctor’s office with a heavy heart.
He didn’t expect Ethan to be so heartless. He had humbled himself so much and promised many gifts, yet Ethan refused to budge.
At this rate, Chloe was going to die.
He headed back to Chloe’s ward in despair. Suddenly, a person with an anxious expression ran into him.
The person was gone before he could react. He noticed that a card had been inserted into the pocket on his chest.
He looked at the card and saw a map on it. An island was highlighted with a red pen.
