Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1218

Yale slowly became serious. "What do you mean?"

Olivia's gaze swept across the surrounding maids. "Mr. Yale, can I have a moment with you?"

"Come with me."

Molly wanted to tag along, but he told her to rest downstairs. He wasn't sure if Olivia was going to coerce him into something or not.

Olivia followed him to the study. He locked the door.

Now that they were alone, he showed his true colors. "Ms. Fordham, what are you up to? Why did you go through so much trouble to approach my sister?

"Even if you hold grudges against me, just come at me. Molly is innocent. She doesn't know how dark the world is out there. She has nothing to do with anything. If you lay a finger on her, I…"

A gun pointed at her head. His voice sent chills to the bone. "I will make you regret living."

Surprisingly, she appeared calm. "If I were you, I wouldn't have been this impulsive, Mr. Yale. I've never dragged Molly into the fray between you and Ethan. It's my first time meeting her today. She almost fainted, and I caught her. I felt her pulse so I know her condition."

He had faith in her medical skills. If it hadn't been for her, Ethan and Linus would've died back then.

"Are you kind enough to turn a blind eye and put our bad blood aside?"

"I'm a doctor, as well as a mother. I hope others won't go through what I experienced. I only found out that she's your sister a moment ago." She eyed him coldly. "If I were you, I would put down the gun immediately. What do you think?"

Withdrawing the gun, he apologized indifferently, "Sorry."

"Honestly, I'm relieved that you're doing this."

There was a pause before she continued, "She's still alive because she stopped the intake midway. It'll slowly take a toll on her growth and immune system. That's why it's hard to notice its presence.

"People might merely think that her body is weak. I didn't bring it up because I was afraid the culprit was around her. It'll be troublesome if the culprit suddenly decides to finish her in one go."

Olivia's explanation slowly wore his guard down, but his expression remained stoic.

"Based on what I observed, she's important to you. That's definitely not how the culprit would act. That's why I'm being honest with you."

Yale frowned. "Molly was adopted when she was seven. Someone saved her from the water. Her head hit a rock, so she couldn't remember anything before she turned seven."

"The clues are falling into places. The culprit must've poisoned Molly before she turned seven. But luck's on her side. I bet you've spent a lot of money on her, haven't you? If you were a humble family, she would've long died."
