Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 1419

Complicated feelings bubbled up within Olivia when she looked at Avery. She felt close to him since the first time they met.

Back then, she had been ravaged by her illness, but she got better. Avery was still struggling with his illness. Olivia felt an inexplicable sadness for him.

His illness can't be cured with surgery. He also needed a new kidney. He had done surgery before, but the effects were underwhelming. Since even Olivia couldn't cure him, Louis was his only hope.

Avery was calm. He had already come to terms with his situation.

“I hope so."

"Mr. Fordham, do you have a phone on you? I left in a hurry and didn't bring my phone. I want to call my family.”

Avery handed her his phone. "Here."

"Thanks."

Meanwhile, Ethan had just realized that Olivia had been taken by Louis. He was looking everywhere for leads on him. Then, his phone rang. He was stunned when he looked at the caller ID. It was a call from Avery.

The two of them barely knew each other and hadn't been in contact for years.

There weren't any projects they were working on together. Why would he be calling?

A familiar voice came from over the phone. "It's me."

Ethan was finally able to calm down. “Liv, is that you? Are you okay? Did Louis..."

“No. He's my mentor. He wouldn't hurt me."

Olivia didn't want him to worry. Nor did she want him to make Louis his enemy.

Louis was unhinged, but he was a great medical genius. Other than his cyborg transformation plan, he came up with many cures and saved many lives.

If Ethan destroyed Louis and his lab, it would also destroy the hope of countless patients.

Also, Louis was a master of machinery. There were a lot of robots in his base. Even if Ethan managed to save her, it would be at a hefty price. Olivia wanted to handle this situation herself, so she didn't tell him the truth.

"Why did you leave without saying anything? Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

“I'm sorry. Mr. Rivera had an urgent project he needed my help with." Olivia tried her best to sound natural. Ethan asked suspiciously, "Why would you be with Avery?"

"He's here for treatment. I just happened to meet him, so I used his phone to call you. I left in a hurry. Are the kids alright?"

“They're fine, but they're worried about you. When will you be back? Or should I go pick you up?"

"No need. We're preparing for an important project. It might take some time."

"Liv, you promised we'll celebrate New Year together."

Olivia felt her chest tighten. She wanted to do it, too. But things were already out of her control.

“Yeah. I'll try to get back as soon as possible. You should take the kids home first." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ethan felt like something was wrong, but from what he saw in the security footage, Olivia left of her own accord.

Even as they were talking on the phone, he heard nothing wrong with her voice. Was he just overthinking it?

"Alright."

"Wait. Give the phone to the kids. I want to hear their voices."

After a while, Zack said, "Mom, are you okay? I miss you."

“I'm fine. I'm sorry, dear. The feast I promised you has to be delayed.” Alicia spoke up, too. "Mom, when are you coming back?"

“I'l have to be away for some more time. You'll have to live... with Dad for now. He'll take good care of all of you."

“But I miss you, Mom. I thought I would be able to see you when we got back." Alicia sounded disappointed.

Olivia smiled in resignation. "I'm so sorry, dear. I'll try to get back as soon as I can."

"Okay. We'll wait to celebrate the New Year with you."

Then, the phone was put on speakerphone. A clear ringing sound came from the phone. Olivia knew that it came from Willow.

"... Okay."
