Even After Death Novel Chapter 396 – Leia thought that Avery was here to question her departure, but he wasn’t. It didn’t take long before he let her go.
Avery and Olivia didn’t leave the place because they knew that Marina was in the castle. They settled down in a room Ryan had arranged for them.
After making sure that there were no hearing devices in the room, he asked, “What is it that you want to ask?” “Have you known her for a long time?”
“Yeah. I saved her. But I kind of pitied her when I first met her. Most of her body was burned. Even half of her face was burned. That was why I wasn’t that certain that she was the person you were looking for.”
She was baffled. “No wonder her voice sounded kind of weird.’” “Aside from the burns, she had a lot of wounds on her. When I met her, she was barely alive.
“She was just skin and bones. Not a single part of her skin was free from burns. She only woke up after resting for half a year, and even then, she barely looked like a person.”
He shook his head. “Not long after that, she left Peace’s Embrace with the mutineers. I hadn’t met her since then. Now that I think about it, I hadn’t met her that much at all.”
Olivia said carefully, “So, you’re…” He said, “You might have guessed it, so I might as well be honest with you. I’m one of the founders of Peace’s Embrace. As I’ve told you, my initial intention was to help more people.
“But I didn’t expect things to turn out this way in the end. Although Toxic Hive was founded a long time ago, they didn’t dare to do things their way so obtrusively back then. They would still show me some respect.”
Only now did Olivia understand the whole story. She hadn’t expected the person she had saved by chance to be a powerful individual.
“Thank you, Mr. Avery. It’s getting late. You should get some rest. I’ll get out of your hair,” she said. “Are you staying to look for Marina?”
“Yeah. I want to know why Toxic Hive is harming her. I think she holds some secrets that I don’t know.” Avery sighed. “I might as well help you to the end.”
They secretly left the room. It wasn’t difficult to find Marina. The researchers were underground, so the huge castle was almost empty.
The doctor on the shift looking after Marina was dozing off, so Olivia snuck into the room.
The lights weren’t turned on. There were only dim lights from the various medical appliances.
She could scarcely see someone lying in bed. She wondered if that was Marina. Holding her breath, Olivia approached the bed. The person in bed wasn’t sleeping.
Alarmed, the person looked at Olivia when she heard the noise. Olivia turned on the torch on her phone and saw Marina.
Every part of Marina’s body was attached to pipes. She was wearing an oxygen mask. She looked so frail, as if she were basically hanging onto the last breath of her life.
Marina’s expression morphed into one of horror upon noticing a masked person standing by the bed. Olivia lowered her voice. “It’s me.”
Marina looked at Olivia in disbelief. Olivia took the chance to remove the oxygen mask. To her surprise, the first thing Marina said was, “Are you here to make fun of me?”
“No,” Olivia denied. She couldn’t understand how Marina could jump to that conclusion. Would she take the risk of coming this far just to make fun of Marina?
“Stop pretending. I bet you’re happy to see me end up like this.” Marina cried. “This is my karma for ruining your family. That must be what you’re thinking. I’m telling you, even if I turn out like this, he will still marry me.
Olivia was astonished at how Marina was still thinking of threatening her at this point. “Believe it or not, I’m not here to make fun of you. I had also been set up by Toxic Hive, just like you,” Olivia explained.
“Toxic Hive?” “It’s the same people who kidnapped us that day. Do you think that you’re the drove Ethan and me to divorce?
person who “No. There was someone else involved in it besides the three of us. They ruined my family, and now they’re trying to harm you and Mom.”
Olivia continued with gritted teeth, “I resent you, but we share the same enemy this time.
“I hope you can tell me what happened that day. Why did Mom’s illness suddenly become worse? And why were you involved in a car crash?”
Even though Marina loathed Olivia to the bone, she was left with no other option. Crying, she said, “I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything.”
