Even After Death

Chapter 79

Recalling the look in Ethan’s eyes, Olivia answered quickly, “No.”

“That’s great, then. It’s just a viral infection. You may be discharged after a few days of monitoring at the hospital.”

Chris felt as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He gave her some more advice and left after she ignored him.

Olivia had already done a biopsy which had confirmed her stomach cancer, but the CT scan results this time showed nothing. She had only undergone one chemotherapy session. Although it was very effective and the tumor would shrink, it would not disappear overnight.

Evidently, something was off with the results, and only someone from the inside could have tampered with it.

The person who did it must have been fearless if they had dared to do it right under Ethan’s nose.

Who could it be? Was it Marina?

Was the incident at the grave not enough that this person had to alter Olivia’s checkup results?

Although there were no other suspects besides Marina, Olivia still felt that there was something fishy about the whole incident. If it was not Marina, then the real culprit was very terrifying.

Many things that had happened over these two years may seem like mere coincidences, but it was strange when Olivia thought about it carefully. It was as if someone was controlling her like a puppet.

By right, Ethan could get to the bottom of it easily, but she was a liar in his eyes now. He would just think that she was making up stories. Besides, the culprit would be on guard if they investigated openly.

Olivia dared not alarmed Chris, so she had no choice but to investigate the radiologist privately. Coincidentally, Mercy Hospital was owned by the Atkins family, so Olivia already had a plan.

Although news of the previous night’s incident had already been hushed, it had reached Calvin’s ears. Before Olivia could take the initiative, he came to visit her.

Calvin was different from Chris. While Chris had devoted himself to the research and development of medicine, Calvin had joined the hospital and made it to the rank of director in three years. Calvin could more or less guess the situation between her and Ethan, but he still smiled dazzlingly.

“Olivia, I really didn’t expect to see you again so soon. How are you?”

“My fever has subsided. Thanks for asking.”

Lying down on the hospital bed, Olivia looked quite pale and sounded weak when she spoke. Noticing her dry lips, Calvin handed her a glass of warm water and said gently, “Here, drink some water.”

“Thank you.” Olivia took the glass and drank a big gulp of water. In her haste to swallow it, she choked on the water and coughed violently. Calvin put a pillow behind her and patted her back gently. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t rush. Drink slowly.”

“You’re still the same as ever.” Olivia had lost the hostile air she had when she was with Ethan.

A look of sympathy came into Calvin’s eyes as he asked curiously, “Did you drop out of university back then for Mr. Miller?”

Olivia smiled helplessly and said, “It was very foolish of me, wasn’t it? I thought I would have a bright future ahead of me, but when I took the leap of faith, I hit rock bottom instead.”

“As long as you’re willing to push forward, the opportunities ahead of you are endless,” said Calvin gently. “You still have a long way to go.”

His kindness, as always, gave Olivia some courage. She asked, “Calvin, since we were once classmates, could you do me a favor?

“Just say the word. I will do my best if it’s within my power.”

Olivia looked around to make sure they were alone before telling him the gist of the situation in a low voice. She had expected Calvin’s initial reaction to be defending the hospital’s reputation and repudiating her, but he took her checkup report instead. His gentle expression gave way to a sterner one.

“Don’t worry, Oliva. If anyone from my hospital dares to falsify information, I will punish them accordingly.”

After Olivia voiced her concerns, Calvin patted her shoulder and said, “It won’t do the hospital any good if this incident blows up. I will make sure to deal with this subtly and get back to you with an explanation.”
