On the chopping board, Marina couldn't defend herself. Still, she was stubborn and insisted on
surviving this. "Olivia Fordham, don't you forget that Ethan still owes me. If you hurt me, he's never
gonna let you get away with it."
Olivia let out a low chuckle. "If so, do you think he would've led you all the way here himself?"
Marina was stunned. Ethan and Kurt grew up together. Could Ethan actually stay unbothered by Kurt's
death?
"Bet you're thinking about that man whom Ethan owes his life to. Yes, he is indebted to that person, but
what does that have to do with you? You were merely that person's crush. You weren't even a couple.
"Let's say Ethan did give his word to look after you, did he not uphold his word well enough by
sacrificing his marriage and family?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"If I were you, I wouldn't have poured everything into a relationship for a man. It's stupid. In the end,
you gained nothing from it and his patience thinned. He resents you more than I do.
"Why would he possibly protect you again? The only thing Kurt left behind was his daughter, Erina.
Your well-being has nothing to do with Ethan. He went beyond the call of duty."
Marina couldn't care less about the pain and huffed. "What do you mean that Erina is the only thing
Kurt left behind?"
"Oh, you still don't know the truth," mocked Olivia.
"What are you implying?" Marina gritted her teeth.
Olivia was aware that only cutting slowly would bring the greatest pain. "Marina, do you know why
Connor wasn't willing to call you Mom since he was young? Because when he could start remembering
things, Ethan told him who his mother was. And that's me."
Marina's expression lost color as she couldn't believe her ears. "What did you just say..."
"I'm saying, Connor is my son. We had preterm delivery that year. You had twins, but one of them
passed away upon delivery. Ethan actually gave you my son due to some circumstances. The one who
died was your son."
A scream pervaded through the air. Marina couldn't accept it. "No, Connor is my son."
"Have you never suspected it? He takes after Ethan, but he and Erina look nothing alike. How could he
possibly be your son?"
Marina cried. Of course, she did suspect it.
However, considering that Ethan and Kurt were cousins, she assumed that it was plausible for Connor
to look like Ethan.
Moreover, she never bore a shadow of doubt against Ethan. That was why she never thought about it.

your dead son weighed heavier than Erina. He grew so well—"
"Shut up, Olivia! Shut up!" yelled Marina at the top of her lungs.
How could this be enough for Olivia?
Back then, Marina kept harassing Olivia with text messages—about Ethan having a meal at Marina's
place, him brewing soup for her, and him spending the night there.
Those texts and pictures had Olivia spend those nights in tears.
While Olivia grieved over her baby, who was assumed dead, Marina and her children stood beside
Ethan.
Marina's words hurt more than anything.
"Does it hurt, Marina Carlton? This is nothing compared to what I've suffered!"
