Female Novel
Chapter 284
n recent days, Chloe wasn’t the only one suffering.
Ethan wasn’t doing any better. He barely ate or drank anything, nor did he rest or sleep.
He was very tightly wound. The search for Olivia was constantly on his mind.
It pained Kelvin to see Ethan in such a weakened state.
“Mr Miller, you should at least eat something. Your body won’t be able to hold out at this rate.”
Ethan’s throat was parched, and his lips were chapped. Brent hurriedly got him a cup of tea.
Ethan was only barely able to speak after downing a cup of warm tea, but his voice was still hoarse.
“The thing I had you investigate?”
“The surveillance on the elevator was already destroyed when we got there. There isn’t any usefulfootage.
“But we uncovered their link with an international organization through their kidnapping of Ms. Carlton.”
“What organization?”
“The Toxic Hive.”
Ethan put a cigarette to his lips out of habit and tried to light it up with his lighter. But his fingers wereshaking uncontrollably.
The lack of nutrients and rest severely weakened his body.
Kelvin quickly came up to Ethan and helped him light up the cigarette.
“Is it that secretive organization that has some of the best doctors in the world but only researchesprohibited drugs?”
“That’s the one.”
Brent said with a serious expression, “The Toxic Hive recruited top medical researchers from all overthe world.
“They do all sorts of research and human experiments banned by countries worldwide and the WorldHealth Organization.
“They started a virus war five years ago that affected people worldwide. They are a bunch of heartlessbarbarians.”novelbin
Ethan’s brows furrowed tightly.
He didn’t have any grudges with The Toxic Hive. It was a large organization that encompassed allareas of the globe.
They even have labs in the coldest and hottest places in the world.
The members are all scientific geniuses. They were dubbed the demonic geniuses in human skin.
These people were obsessed with their research. They didn’t usually do kidnapping.
The members of The Toxic Hive have killed people, but they have also saved people.
There were quite a few cases of them curing terminal illnesses.
Some people saw them as angels, but others saw them as the harbinger of diseases.
Ethan knew they didn’t capture Olivia or Marina for the research.
If they needed guinea pigs for their research, they would have taken the guests too, not just twowomen.
It felt like the kidnapping wasn’t related to the organization but a personal vendetta. But that confusedEthan.
He knew Olivia very well. She was a loving person. She wouldn’t possibly offend someone to such adegree that they would want her life.
“No wonder we couldn’t find Leo. He must be a part of The Toxic Hive, too.”

“That should be the case.”
Ethan frowned as his fingers clasped around his cigarette tightly.
“Even if Liv is alive, she would suffer a fate worse than death if she fell into their hands.
“They would use her to test their drugs, and she would be tormented to no end.”
“Mr. Miller, The Toxic Hive had evacuated in a hurry before we got here. Maybe they didn’t find Mrs.Miller. She had a knife and cut the ropes before she fell.”
Brent licked his lips and continued, “Mrs. Miller had always been a good swimmer. There were a lot ofabandoned boats that she could’ve hidden behind.
“She may have gone into hiding. Or else, the people who kidnapped her would surely try to agitate youwith her corpse.
“They went radio silent for so many days, it can only mean one thing. Mrs. Miller is still alive! The ToxicHive didn’t get to her.
“T
A glimmer of hope lit up in Ethan’s eyes. “That’s it! Liv wanted me to avenge her by finding them beforeshe fell.
“That wasn’t a farewell for good. She was trying to tell me something.”
