By saying that, it meant that Ethan had forgiven Janice completely. She had been ill during that
time and was in a lot of pain.
Besides, Janice was his mother that gave him life.
Ethan had thought he would just cut ties with her and live his life away from her. He never
expected Janice to come out of her trauma and reflect on her past mistakes.
After everything he went through with Olivia, he just wanted to cherish the family that he had.
Janice got in the front passenger seat while Ethan and Olivia sat together at the back.
Olivia looked at him with a smile and asked, “Why did you come here?”
“I came to bring you home. You didn’t get to eat your fill just now, did you? I’ll cook something up
for you when we get home.”
Looking at the man who was completely devoted to him, Olivia smiled sweetly and replied, “Sure.”
She was starting to believe Janice’s words. Ethan was different from Kenneth.
A man like him would never hurt her, right?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe bodyguard handed over some water and medicine. Ethan asked, concerned, “Are you feeling
unwell?”
“Don’t worry. My stomach was acting up after drinking chilled coffee. I’ll be fine after I take some
medicine.”
Olivia had wanted to eat her fill at the cafe, but her meal was cut short by Kenneth and Jessica.
Her stomach was still hurting, but she didn’t talk about it. She just quickly ingested some
medicine.
Noticing Ethan’s mindful stare, she gently pushed his hand and said, “I’m fine. You don’t have to be so
worried. I promised Mom that I would get an endoscopy after the birthday banquet.
“So, you’re really okay?” Ethan confirmed once more.
“Do I look like I’m in pain?”

Olivia had brought up stomach pains several times recently. But stomach issues generally reoccur
frequently. Sometimes, it was normal for the pain to happen every day.
Ethan’s worries were temporarily alleviated when he thought about the medical examination
Olivia did in the past that revealed nothing majorly wrong with her.
He asked someone to bring Olivia something to eat before starting the car.
“Here, eat something to ease that pain. We’ll be home soon.”
“Okay.” Olivia didn’t hesitate.
The roads weren’t packed at that hour. Olivia leisurely enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the
road. She liked it here more than Aldenvine.
The air was better here, and the plants on the roadside looked pretty.
“Do you like it?”
“Yeah. It’s completely different from Aldenvine. There are a lot of flowers on the side of the road.”
“The scenery is better on the Seaside Streets. Let’s take that route home.”
“Yes, Mr. Miller.” The driver changed the route.
Olivia’s mood improved as she rolled down the window to feel the ocean breeze. The driver prepared
to slow down as they were approaching a downward slope.
His expression instantly paled, and his hands tightened around the steering wheel when he
stepped on the brakes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe driver was a trained professional, so he was able to remain calm.
“Mr. Miller, I have bad news. The brakes have malfunctioned.”
Olivia, who was eating a snack, froze. “What did you say?”
“The brakes aren’t responding, and we’re approaching a long downward slope. The car will speed up,
but I will try my best to steer us to safety. Make sure to brace yourselves, Mrs. Miller Senior,
Mrs. Miller, and Mr. Miller.”
Ethan comforted the two women calmly, “Mom, Liv, don’t be afraid. I’ll contact some people to
handle this.”

Ethan called the police immediately. He requested for the road to be locked down, the vehicles in the
area to be redirected, and to prepare for an isolated collision buffer in advance.
The other cars driven by Ethan’s bodyguards took up the lane on the left so no one could overtake
Ethan.
As long as oncoming vehicles adhere to the designated routes, there shouldn’t be any issues.
Even though Ethan had already made arrangements for everything, Olivia’s heart still began to
beat faster.
An image of a stormy night flashed in her head.
Ethan wrapped his arms around her when he saw her pale expression. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.
We’ll be fine.”
