Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1118

Olivia said calmly, "Mr. Heath, I don't want to seem rude, but Mr. Heath is no longer in a critical condition. He just needs some time and care. His body would eventually recover.

"My presence wouldn't be needed. Besides, your sister doesn't want me around. I don't want to be the source of strife in your family."

Since Linus visited her in person, he probably didn't just want her to treat Mason.

He wanted a great doctor like her close by so she would be able to take care of any emergencies that might arise.

A talent like her had to be kept close by.

"We've already been through that. My sister has been spoiled by our family. The things she said and did to you were very rude.

"I apologize in her stead. I guarantee that it won't happen again."

"Since you said that, I can get on board. But I have a few conditions.

"The first one is that I have some patients in other places, too. You can't restrict my freedom."

"Naturally. But since you would be working for my father, you have to be aware of some things even if we don't fully restrict your freedom.

"Of course, that's up for discussion. Is there anything else?"

"I want to join the medical team and do research with them. Is that okay?"

"That's perfectly fine. It's good that you have that drive to improve.

"We'll provide you with all the best resources to study medicine, but you need to acquire approval in advance if you want to leave the country."

Olivia mentioned several more conditions, which Linus happily agreed to.

"Alright, I don't have any other issues."

Linus reached out. "Then, I hope we have a fruitful relationship."

They shook hands briefly.

Linus' hand had more calluses than Ethan's. It was very rough.

On the other hand, Linus didn't expect Olivia's hand to be so smooth, even though she was a doctor.

Although their hands only touched for an instant, it was enough to surprise him.

She could only be described as decent-looking at best. But when she smiled, it felt like a pretty flower had bloomed.

Olivia put on her apron and went to the backyard to get some basil and kale.

Then, she started cooking up a storm, making all sorts of noises while doing so.

Two plates of pasta were quickly served. The ingredients were simple, but the food smelled amazing.

Linus couldn't help but sing her praises. "You're such a great cook. No wonder my father misses her cooking."

"I've heard that you're stationed at the borders all year long. The conditions are harsh there, and you don't have many ingredients to cook.

"That's why you would feel like a simple plate of pasta is delicious."

"That's true. But a storm is coming. I won't be leaving in the foreseeable future."

"Where is it coming to?"

Linus put down his cutleries and looked straight at her. "There are some things you're better off not knowing."
