Chapter 329
At the hospital, Chloe was out of danger after some emergency medical treatment. But she looked frail
and pitiable.
Chris held her hand that wasn’t hooked to the IV drip and looked at her sorrowfully. Chloe’s health had
worsened immensely in a short amount of time.
“I’m sorry, Chloe. It’s my fault Marina turned out like that.”
He didn’t know the whole story, but he was sure Marina had done more horrible things than he
imagined. Chloe wouldn’t have been so angry otherwise.
Chloe smiled weakly. “It’s okay, I’m fine. You don’t have to blame Marina. She’s just a kid.”
“She’s the mother of two children. She’s not a child anymore. I’m aware of what kind of person my
daughter is. She has always blamed you for what happened to her mother.”
Chloe grasped Chris’ hand. “I can understand how she feels. She lost her mother at such a young age.

hate me. I don’t blame her.”
“Sometimes, I wish you’d at least get angry at her. I’d feel better that way. I’ll ask her to stay away from
now. You have to take care of your body. I’ll find the bone marrow you need.”
Chloe had heard from her doctor that a compatible bone marrow hadn’t been found yet. She said with a
self-deprecating smile, “I have no regrets. You’ve been good to me. I’m very happy. Even if I die
Chris covered her mouth. “Don’t speak nonsense. Modern medicine is very advanced. You’ll be fine.”
“I only have one wish right now. I want to see Olivia and apologize to her in person.”
When she was being resuscitated, Chloe thought a lot about what happened in the past. Most of her
thoughts were about Olivia, especially her childhood days.
“I’ve failed her too many times.”
Chris held back his tears, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll find her.”
Ethan only left the office after night had fallen. Someone approached him from the shadows.
“Mr. Carlton.”
Ethan had expected Chris to show up sooner or later. It was inevitable.
Chris looked fatigued, the usual vigor he had was gone. “Ethan, let’s talk”
“Come this way, Mr. Carlton.”
They got in the car where there was less noise, and Ethan drove the car himself. At that hour, they
were able to avoid t Ethan was able to drive without a hitch. The bright street lamps illuminated the
roads.
“You must know why I’m here.”
“Yeah, I do.”
They didn’t beat about the bush. Ethan parked the car near the beach as no one could track them here.
There was the sound waves in the distance paired with the salty sea wind
Ethan handed Chris a cigarette, and he didn’t refuse.

Puffing out smoke, Chris said, “I know you’ve found Olivia.”
Ethan didn’t deny it. “I knew I couldn’t hide it from you”
Ethan knew what he did at sea wasn’t public knowledge, but Chris would come to know about what
happened
Chapter 329
“You’re bold. You even alerted the Maritime Safety Administration. I heard you did something big not
long before that under the guise of counter-terrorism. But you were using your power for personal
purposes.
“Even though your achievements in the military are phenomenal, you shouldn’t have gone all out for a
woman. The old guys up top were displeased.”
Ethan raised his head to look at Chris. “Would you have done it if you were me?”
Chris looked into the distance and didn’t deny it. “I would. I understand why you did it, so I hope you
understand why I’m asking you to hand her over to me.”
“You want her bone marrow?”
“I know it’s unfair to her. But I wouldn’t ask this of her if I had any other options. I don’t have a choice
now. Chloe’s condition is getting worse.”
