Chapter 1166
Olivia didn’t expect the cover she had been keeping up for so long to be blown at that moment.
Linus slowly walked toward her.
"Mr. Heath, I can explain."
Linus slammed his fist on the dressing table, which caused Olivia to shudder.
"So you never lost your memories?" Linus said through gritted teeth.
Olivia knew there was no point in lying. So, she nodded. "Yes. If
"That child that Krystal saw was Ethan’s daughter?"
"Yes."
"You and Ethan..."
Olivia licked her lips. "It's complicated between us."
She didn't even know how to describe their relationship herself. She couldn't just say he went from her

"So you..."
Olivia immediately said, "Mr. Heath, I'm indeed Ethan's ex- wife. Vanessa is my codename. I didn't
create it to get closer to you or your family. I did it to keep myself safe."
"Keep yourself safe?"
"Some people have been after my life since a few years back. Even Ethan wasn't able to find who
wanted me dead. I had no choice but to go into hiding and live my life with another identity.
"I actually hadn't seen Ethan for over three years. We were only reunited when he came to the village,
and I helped him cure the poison he was afflicted with.
"As for saving your father's life, I didn't actually plan for that. I can't predict the future, and I didn't really
want to be part of this mess."
Olivia stared at him intensely. "I don't care if you believe me or not, but I never intended to hurt your
father."
"I believe you."
Linus withdrew his hand. "Or else you wouldn't have been the first one at his side, protecting him."
"Mr. Heath, I had wanted to leave long ago. If you hadn't tried to convince me to stay multiple times, I
would've left after I completed the surgery.
"Like this situation right now. Ethan wanted me to save your father without any malicious intent. But
now, seeds of suspicion have been sowed. You'd think he sent me to your father's side with some
ulterior motive."
That was exactly what Linus would’ve thought before. But Olivia had just risked her own life to save
Mason, so he was already convinced otherwise.
"Your feelings for him ..."
"Mr. Heath, that's personal. I'm sorry, but I won't say anything about that. Do whatever you want to me."

Linus stared at her face for a moment before saying, "I'll keep your secret. I won't tell my father or
anyone else."
"You..."
"You can stay. I trust you. If your face will bring you trouble, you can keep up your old appearance."
Olivia sighed. "Thanks."
"You've saved my father's life multiple times now. I should be the one to thank you. There are a lot of
people out there right now. You can wait here for the moment. I'll get someone to bring you out of here
from the backdoor later."
"Okay."
Then, someone knocked on the door. Ethan had come.
Since Linus already knew her secret, she had nothing to hide. She went to open the door. Ethan
wrapped his arms around her as soon as he walked in.
"Liv, are you okay? I was so afraid just now. It was so dangerous. You were too reckless. There were
so many guards around. Why would you rush in before them? Let me check if you're hurt."
Ethan was about to undress Olivia. Then, Linus cleared his throat.
Ethan finally noticed there was another person in the room." Why are you here?"
