Chapter 75
Ethan snickered as he took Olivia by the wrist and scooped her into his arms. He was a little rough withher because of his anger, and he pinned her legs against his body with his arms.
She tried to free herself but withdrew her hands when her fingers accidentally brushed against hisneck. The warmth of his body lingered on her fingertips.
“Ethan, let go of me.” She struggled with all her might, but it was futile.
Giving up, she stayed in his arms as he walked through the snow–linen path. The snow crunchedunderneath his boots during the walk to her room. He did not say a word, letting the silence hang overthem.
The heating in the room warmed up her freezing body. Unaware of the events, Connor stumbledtoward her as though he wanted a hug
She reflexively reached out to hug him when she saw the tears and snot on his face. However, Ethanlifted the poor kid by the collar and instructed his men icily, “Send Connor home.”novelbin
“Got it.” Brent was relieved when he confirmed that Olivia was unhurt.
Chris came by and performed a checkup before hooking her to an IV drip. He advised her, “Your whiteblood cell count is very low. Please do not overexert your body. Or else, no one can save your life thenext time.”
She merely grunted as she stared emptily at the ceiling like a ragdoll. Now that Ethan had trapped herand taken away chance at dying, what more could she do?
“Yeah. I understood.”
“You’d better.” Ethan finally looked away from her and strode out of her room.

Chris cautiously followed the hostile Ethan out and almost bumped into him when Ethan abruptlystopped in his tracks.
Ethan turned around with a scowl and hissed, “Find out the reason behind her low white blood cellcount.”
He sensed that something was off from the chain of events earlier. Olivia, who had always been fit, hadsuffered from a low white blood cell count after a fever. Moreover, she jumped from the seventh floorwithout hesitation.
When he recalled her feeble condition and fainting spells, he believed that the issue was morecomplicated than it seemed.
Chris nodded. “Sure, Mr. Miller. We’ll get her a full checkup tomorrow. You don’t have to worry toomuch. She hasn’t done any checkups in the last two years, but there’s a low chance of her developingchronic diseases based on her past health records.”
“That better be it.”
Chris gave Ethan a respectful nod when the latter left the hospital. He was careful not to further angerEthan at such a sensitive time. Then, he rushed back to his office, where he printed the list of checkupsthat Olivia had to undergo.
That night, Olivia’s fever finally went away. A nurse came in early in the morning to wake her up. “Ms.Fordham, it’s time for a checkup.”
That immediately pulled her out of her groggy state. “What?”
The nurse patiently explained, “Ms. Fordham, you must undergo some advanced checkups.” That senta chill down her spine. She wondered if Ethan had picked up any clues on her condition.
