Chapter 428
Marina felt regret and fear after she experienced the death of her parents and the comminuted fracture of both her legs.
She thought about a lot of things when she was in the hospital.
She cried profusely and said in a shaky voice, “I know I’ve done a lot of bad things in the past. I promise I’ll change.
“I’ll learn to be a good wife and never cause you trouble again. I don’t have any other requests. Just marry me, I beg of you.”
Ethan fell silent.
Without getting a reply, Marina continued, “You promised Kurt you’d take care of me forever. You
can’t leave me.”
Ethan could no longer refuse after Marina pulled out her trump card. He closed his eyes, and Olivia’s face filled his mind.
Ethan said weakly, “Okay, I’ll do it.”
Marina broke into a smile after getting his response. “I knew you’ll never forsake me.”
Ethan hung up the phone. Otto was also relieved.
“I knew you were a loyal man. I think you also know the state my family is in.
“The wedding should be held as soon as possible. It would help Marina’s recovery if she had something to look forward to.”
Ethan’s brain was blanking out. All he could think about was he couldn’t do what he promised Olivia.
He was prepared to make it up to Olivia, but his hands were tied.
“Ethan, are you listening?”
“Pardon?”
“I said that we should keep things simple for the wedding. I’ve already picked out a date. It’s the end of this month. Do you have any objections?”
Ethan pursed his lips and said, “I only have one condition.”
“What is it?”
“Do not touch the Fordhams.”
Otto knew that Ethan had brought Jeff and Olivia back, but there was nothing he could do.
Ethan was accepting Marina even though she had a disability. They should be content that Ethan was still willing to marry her.
“I didn’t expect him to be so silly. He actually died with her.”
Otto still didn’t know about Ms. Rosa’s true identity.
Ethan sighed and said, “I hope you stop what you’re doing. You’re not the only one to suffer great losses because of the Toxic Hive.
“Plenty of royalty in other countries have suffered similar fates. You have to come to your senses. The Carlton family is already in such a sorry state.”
“I understand.”
Otto’s back was hunched, and his body swayed a little. He left slowly, leaning on his cane.
