After an operation that went on for hours, all the glass shards on Ethan's body were removed.
For the moment, Ethan could only lie on his stomach.
If a normal person suffered such injuries, they would get anesthesia. But Ethan painstakingly endured it.
Those few hours were like hell to him.
He had to constantly be awake so that he could see Olivia right away.
Krystal walked up to him first. "Are you okay, Sova?"
Ethan placed his chin on his crossed hands.
He had already used up his energy, and he constantly had cold sweat because of his pain.
He was already exhausted, but after the door opened, he still perked up and looked at the door.
The first person he saw wasn't Krystal but Olivia instead.
Ignoring Krystal's greeting, he said weakly, "Liv."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was only then that Olivia slowly walked over to him. Ethan reached out a hand, and Olivia held it.
His palm was no longer dry. There was still sweat on it.
"I promised you that I would leave the operating room alive."
With that, he finally passed out. But he never let go of Olivia's hand.
His actions were like a cruel slap across Krystal's face.
His love was the best source of Olivia's confidence.
Kelvin hastily asked, "Uncle Tucker, how's Mr. Miller?"
Dr. Tucker snorted.
"He's quite the lucky man. A glass shard almost pierced his heart, but it's a good thing that it missed by an inch.
Also, it was a good thing that it was winter, so he had worn thick clothes.
"If this incident happened in summer, he would be dead by now."
Kelvin asked, "So Mr. Miller is fine, right?"
"He simply did this to himself. He didn't want to use anesthesia, and he insisted on enduring it. Remember, change
his dressings regularly these days.
"Don't let him get any infections, or it'll be very troublesome."
Kelvin replied, "Thank you, Uncle Tucker."
Dr. Tucker waved his hand. "He'll be hospitalized for two days for observation. Go."
Perhaps because he had confirmed that Ethan would be safe, Dr. Tucker was a little reassured now. His expression
wasn't as cold as it was before.
Ethan refused to let go of Olivia, so Olivia could only accompany him to the ward.
Dr. Tucker glanced at Krystal.
"Girl, why are you interfering in the couple's business? You know the sort of person he is. When he has made up his
mind, he will never give up on it."
Krystal stomped her feet. "Who said that they're a couple? They divorced a long time ago! He's now single, so why
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcan't I court him? Or do you think I'd lose to a doll like her?
"Other than her face, she can't win against me in terms of background and position!"
Dr. Tucker sighed. "I won't bother about matters between you youngsters, but I have a word of advice for you: don't
go too far. Don't keep pushing even after you've met a dead end."
Krystal couldn't be bothered about that. She left and followed Ethan to his ward.
After Ethan had settled down, she volunteered.
"I'll keep watch over him. You can leave now."
Even though Olivia never intended to reconcile with Ethan, Ethan had gotten hurt because of her. Out of obligation,
she couldn't just leave Ethan like that.
She moved her hand, which Ethan was holding tightly. "I do want to leave, but he won't let me. But Ms. Heath, if you
want to stay, I won't object to that."
With that, she asked Kelvin to get her a stool. Then, she sat on it.
Kelvin suggested in a low voice, "Mrs. Miller, you've stayed up for a long time. It's a double bed anyway, so why
don't you sleep next to Mr. Miller?
"It's more comfortable that way. I'll go get a blanket for you."
