Chapter 66
Ethan finally took Everly’s word for it. She wouldn’t dare to lie to him.
“Was she sick before this?”
“Yeah, I was going through a breakup with a bastard, so I didn’t pay her much attention. Thank god Keith was there to cook
for her.”
She had wanted to tell Ethan the truth about Olivia. But she wouldn’t know the consequences of doing so, given that Olivia couldn’t even put a nto her relationship with Ethan at the moment. She decided to respect Olivia’s wish.

Her heart skipped a beat as she fought to maintain a neutral expression under his keen gaze. “It was just the flu.”
“Just the flu?”
“What else could it have been? Liv has always been healthy.”
“That’s true,” Ethan concurred and concluded that Olivia might have sought pity through her show of weakness to avoid the divorce.
After he received the answers from Everly, he dropped a remark before leaving. “If you’re interested, you may report to the Miller Property Corp Tower for work tomorrow.”
Her eyes lit up, knowing that the Miller Property Corp Tower was the property business of Miller Group. It’d be an instant

He ignored her and proceeded to leave. After sthinking, Everly gathered up her courage and said to him, “Mr. Miller, please be nice to Liv if you still love her. Don’t hurt her anymore. She still cares about you.”
Although he cheated on Olivia, he seemed to have lingering feelings for her. Everly’s only wish was for Olivia to live out her final days without regret.

Little did she know that her friend was imprisoned in a dark bathroom after Ethan turned off the lights and left.
In the past, Olivia had nothing she feared in particular. However, after she almost drowned, she developed a trauma. She recalled watching Ethan leaving with Marina as she sank into the darkness. Her hands were on her belly, fearing that she might lose her baby.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself in an operating theater with a sterile and blinding light right on top of her. There, she parted with her baby in pain.
Since then, she had been scared of complete darkness and blinding lights.
At that moment, the bathroom was filled with cold water. It wasn’t enough to drown her, but it brought back memories from the day she fell into the water.
In the bathroom, she continuously pleaded for help, hoping that someone would show up and free her.
Alas, the soundproofing on the 38th floor drowned out her calls. The situation was eerily similar to the fateful day she
