Ethan didn't speak, but his expression said it all. He didn't want to discuss this subject with Olivia. "Liv, I have my considerations." There were things that Ethan couldn't tell Olivia. Smiling coldly, Olivia said, "She indirectly killed our baby, pushed me into depression for two years, and now she's trying to kill my mother. I'm really curious as to why you're so lenient with her."If he truly loved Marina, why would he go to such lengths to win her favor? Ethan would never have stooped to doing such things. Olivia was confused. "Some things are not the way you think they are. I'll tell you everything when the time is right."It was always about timing with Ethan. Olivia didn't know when the time would be right. She only knew that the conflicts she had been forced into had caused her family to be ruined. "Rest here for a while. I'll get you some soup." Ethan hurried to the kitchen. He was intent on avoiding that subject. He opened the pot, and the fragrant smell of the

Olivia's expression suddenly turned stern at the mention of Toxic Hive. "Mr. Carlton, I'll be honest with you. The ones who kidnapped me last time are related to the Toxic Hive. They're not decent people.""I know. I used to hate them to the core. They don't value human lives, but they can bring back the dead. For Chloe's sake, I have no other choice."Olivia didn't know if they were targeting Chloe because of her. But they always had something up their sleeves, so they might have prepared a trap for Chris."If you go to them, you'll be dealing with the devil.""Olivia, are you just going to sit by and watch as Chloe dies?"If it were last week, she wouldn't have cared if Chloe died. But last night, Chloe had embraced her. Olivia couldn't just watch Chloe die without understanding why.When Olivia came here, Kelvin told her about the investigation results. No one had entered the ward except for Marina.Olivia wondered if Marina would do something so inhumane to her stepmother. S

Marina was quickly transported into a truck. There was professional medical equipment in the truck, and doctors as well. It was like an ambulance.As soon as she got into the truck, someone began treating her. An oxygen mask was placed on her nose, and she took in large gulps of air.She wasn't quite conscious, and her eyes couldn't focus. She could only see a few people tending to her wounds.She had lost a lot of blood, so she knew that she would die for sure.Many memories surfaced in Marina's mind. Her last memories were of Chloe looking weak and powerless, and that day when she pushed Olivia off the ship.She felt like she saw the snow dancing in the air again, and the cold sea breeze blew the snowflakes right at her.The sea was very cold that night. Olivia lost her child because of that.This was probably Marina's punishment for hurting others.But Marina didn't understand why she would do this.The truck stopped moving at an unknown location. Then, the people moved M

Avery returned to the private room with a faint smile on his lips. "Sorry for the wait. I've already sent someone to deal with your problems. Don't worry."The man looked a little pale. When he smiled, there was a tiny dimple on his left cheek. He looked much friendlier now."Thank you so much. Mr. Fordham, you don't look too well. Why don't you get treated at the hospital? It'd be dangerous if you fainted again like you did last time.""It's an old issue. It's nothing too serious."The waiter came over with their food. Olivia smiled at Avery. "I ordered some food. I don't know if you'd like what I ordered, though."Avery had maintained this amicable air about him. So, Olivia didn't feel as nervous as she did at the beginning.As they dined, Olivia was surprised to find that her tastes were like Avery's. They dropped slightly more of the formalities from before.Avery gazed at her with a gentle look in his eyes. "I think of my sister when I see you. She's about the same age as y

Seeing that there was no one around them, Avery revealed the truth."In reality, the medical organization that was first established was called Peace's Embrace. The name signified their wish for everything in the world to be embraced by peace."At first, this organization was established for research that would benefit humanity. It invited top scholars and specialists from various countries."This was so that they could focus on illnesses that humanity couldn't cure. Examples would be cancer, AIDS, leukemia, rabies, and other diseases caused by viruses."But gradually, there was a disagreement within the organization."Olivia asked, "What disagreement?""Some experiments were inhumane. Experiments usually need clinical trials. It wasn't something you could achieve with the loss of one or two human lives."They hired anyone willing at a high price. Those volunteers would sign the death waiver of their own accord. But not everyone was willing to do that."Since they lacked subjec
