Sharon was standing a short distance away. She noticed the conflict and quickly came over to bring Olivia away.
Before she left, she glared at Ethan disappointedly. She didn’t understand why he would do something like that.
The tension had barely eased a little, and he managed to make things uncomfortable so quickly.
Brent approached Ethan and said, “Mr. Miller, you can’t rush things. The more you rush, the more likely you’ll get disappointing results.”
Ethan sighed. “I’m just afraid she doesn’t have the will to live. I just want to give her a reason to live.
“I thought seeing Connor would trigger her maternal instinct, but things didn’t go according to plan.”
“Mr. Miller, you should stop trying. Mrs. Miller is already in a terrible state. You can’t rile her up again. You
should tell her about Master Connor next time.”
“I guess that’s my only option.”
Ethan crouched down and lifted Erina up. Although he hated Marina, Erina was the only baby Kurt left behind.
Because of that, Ethan took good care of her.
Marina slowly approached Ethan in her wheelchair. She said tentatively, “Ethan, I’m just here to visit Ms.
Fordham. I don’t have any ulterior motives.”
“Daddy, Mommy misses you a lot,” Erina said timidly.
“Good girl.” Ethan patted Erina on the head.
For some reason, Olivia suddenly turned around. She saw Ethan carrying Erina in his arms like a loving father and smiling gently.
The four of them looked like a close family when they stood together. The sight of that was quite jarring to Olivia.
So, this was how Ethan wanted to show his love for her. It was laughable.
Sharon quickly explained, “Mrs. Miller, don’t misunderstand. Mr. Miller only has eyes for you.”
“Please stop saying that, Sharon.”
Olivia felt disgusted by those words.
Olivia was sent back to her room. Naturally, Ethan didn’t allow Marina to visit her, but he was also shut out.
Sharon stood at the door and said coldly, “It’s Mrs. Miller’s orders, sir. Please don’t hold it against me.”
“Liv misunderstood. I want to explain to her …”
“Do you really think your explanations would work? In her eyes, you’d just be telling her more lies. I beg of you. Stop doing things that would upset Mrs. Miller.”
Ethan was rendered speechless. He did a lot of things, and he did them in hopes of helping Olivia. In the end, everything he did just made things worse.
Sharon felt bad for him when she saw how devastated he was..
“Mr. Miller, you’ve been here for days. You should go home and rest. Stop causing trouble for Mrs. Miller.”
Ethan didn’t want to add fuel to the flame, so he took Sharon’s advice and gave Olivia some space.
Sharon went back into the room. Olivia was lying in bed, deep in thought.
“Mr. Miller has gone home, Mrs. Miller. He will be giving you some space for now.”
Olivia didn’t respond. She just looked into the distance. Sharon felt bad for her when she looked at her frail silhouette.
“Sharon, I want to get discharged.”
Sharon quickly explained, “Even if the chemotherapy is done, your condition is still unstable. You need to be kept under observation at the hospital.
“If you’re missing home, we can go back after you’ve recovered a little more.”
“Home?”
Olivia smiled bitterly. “The Miller Residence isn’t my home.”
She stared blankly at the ceiling. She said with a hollow voice, “Nowhere is my home. I lost my home long ago.”
