Even After Death Novel (Olivia) -
Chapter 160
Chapter 160
Jack knew about crazy people like Ethan. If he showed too much concern about Olivia, he would only be putting her in danger.
Soon, the door to the room opened. Jack watched as Ethan dragged Olivia out with him. Olivia looked so fragile, but Ethan didn’t seem to pity her one bit.
Jack subconsciously tried to move forward. Brent reminded him in a cold voice, "Don’t move.”
Jack looked at Olivia in worry. He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
A gun had appeared in Ethan's hand. He looked high and mighty as if he were some god that controlled others’ lives at will.
“Watch closely, Liv. He died because of you.”
Olivia was terrified. She didn’t know what she could do now to stop Ethan's frenzy.
The more she begged, the more it would stoke Ethan's murderous intent. But even if she didn’t beg him, he would still do it.
“What should I do? What on earth can I do?” she thought.
At that moment, a clear voice rang out. “Go to hell, you criminal!”
It was Tom's voice. He had been hiding and lying in wait for a chance. Jack had taught him how to use a gun before. But since guns were dangerous, Jack usually forbade him from using them.
Tom innocently thought that the crisis would be resolved if Ethan died. Then Olivia would be free again.
The bullet didn’t come from Ethan's hand. Instead, it came from the gun Tom was holding. Tom was hiding in an overlooked
corner.
The gun was aimed at Ethan, but Tom wasn't very good at shooting. Because of his panic, his aim was off.
The bullet whistled through the air as it headed right toward Olivia's chest.
No one expected the sudden turn of events. They didn't think that the child would have a gun!
When Olivia saw the bullet, she was already pulled into an embrace. She could smell the familiar wooden scent. It was just like Ethan's personality, reserved and cold.
His tall figure not only blocked off the snowy wind for her, but it also blocked the bullet.
“Ethan!” Olivia looked at him in panic. At that moment, her emotions were in a mess. All her thoughts centered on Ethan.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt?”
Olivia got out of Ethan's embrace. She saw that the bullet had pierced the black wool coat and hit the bulletproof vest underneath. She sighed in relief.
It was also at that moment when all the snipers aimed at Tom instead. Olivia hastily said, “Don’t shoot! He's just a child!”
Ethan reached out his cold fingers to touch the tears in the corners of her eyes.
He said, “A young beast with fangs is still a beast in the end. Liv, if I hadn't worn a bulletproof vest today, either you or I
would've died.”
Leaning in her ear, he whispered, “Having mercy on your enemies is the same as being cruel to yourself.”
Ethan's voice was soft, and Olivia couldn't sense any emotion in it. But she knew that he was mad. He was furious!
Other than matters that concerned her, his mood swings were quite severe. When he faced other people, the angrier he was, the calmer he appeared.
Olivia hugged him tightly, begging in her soft and humble tone, “Ethan, Tom didn’t mean to harm me. He's just a child. Don’t
Connor didn’t know why Olivia was sobbing so much. When he saw her crying, he also felt sad. He immediately started wailing
as well.
“Daddy, Mama!” Connor's wails distracted Ethan's thoughts. The child tottered toward Ethan.
Ethan picked the child up. Connor and Olivia were sobbing on either side of him. He was greatly annoyed.
He had no choice but to compromise. “Fine, I can let the child go. But he...”
Ethan glared straight at Jack. His voice was cold as he continued, “... must die.”
