Even After Death Novel (Olivia)

Ethan led Leia out of the hospital, who was miserable. She only suffered from a minor injury as she was grazed by a bullet. But from the look on her face, it was as if she had been fatally wounded. Staring into the space, she sat in the back seat without a word. She looked like she was on the verge of falling apart.

Hearing the truth had brought an overwhelming impact on her.

At this moment, she felt nothing but guilt and conflict. Lifting her head, she stared at Ethan in a daze.

"Ethan, so this is the reason why you didn't kill me. You knew that this outcome would make me feel even worse than killing me."

Leia covered her face. Tears slipped through the gaps between her fingers. "I didn't want this to happen. I just wanted to help him, but what did I do? I nearly killed his own sister. Damn it!"

Seeing how Leia was blaming herself for everything, Ethan sighed. "I'm not a god, nor do I possess the skill of foreseeing the future. The reason why I didn't kill you was that I was hoping you could turn over a new leaf and make amends for your past mistakes."

He placed his hands on Leia's shoulders as he slowed down his voice. "Leia, we were born into an extremely unhealthy family. Because of our parents, our mental condition isn't the healthiest either. It's easy for us to do something extreme.

"I made many mistakes in the past too. I have to endure it no matter what kind of punishment Olivia inflicts on me. I deserve it. I'm only alive now to repent all my previous sins.

"A mistake is a mistake. I can't help you get out of it. But if you're too hung up on your past, why did Mr. Avery save you back then?"

There was finally some hope in Leia's eyes the moment she heard Avery's name.

"Don't let his kindness go to waste. You must stay alive and look ahead. Even though the days back then were bad, you'll still be able to see the blue sky and warm sunlight. "Leia, just stay alive and live well."

"You're right, Ethan. I have to stay alive, only then can I repay my sins."

Leia's gaze terrified Ethan. "What do you want to do? Olivia has her own plans, so don't do anything to Jacqueline. This is so that we won't ruin her plan."

"Oh, okay."

Leia nodded obediently like a puppy. "I'll listen to everything you say from now on."

"You should get some rest for now. It'll be a brand new day tomorrow."

After parting ways with Ethan, Leia stood up.

She already had a plan in mind.

She thought, "Ethan, the first half of my life was dark. I did see some light back then, even if it was just for a short while. That ray of sunshine guided me to where I am today, so I should do something for him in return now."

Leia had seen Avery undergoing treatment back on the island. After asking around, she found out that there was something wrong with Avery's kidneys. He had a serious kidney disease.

Throughout the past few years, the transplant would always fail due to different reasons whenever they managed to find a matching kidney for him.

He had been undergoing treatment for more than half a year. His body was much better than before. That was why his only wish now was to get a kidney transplant.

Leia went to the hospital alone and had a medical check-up with a doctor.

The results were out soon. Her kidney was very healthy and a perfect match to Avery's.

Once the date and time of surgery were decided, Avery could get a kidney transplant.

Leia signed the organ donation agreement. With a smile, she watched as the sun rose up in the sky.

The sunlight shone on her once again.

"Mr. Avery, it's time for me to atone for my sins," she thought.
