An ambiguous feeling swelled in Erina. It stifled her chest as she observed Ethan's nonchalant visage.
Were they living together?
She didn't tell Marina what she witnessed last night lest she upset Marina.
Many things transpired within the household, so Erina was more mature compared to her peers. Not
only was her EQ similar to that of a teenager, but she was also reticent and sensitive.
She called softly, "Dad."
Ethan closed the book and placed it atop the table.
At that moment, Fabian pushed Marina over. He was slightly surprised by Ethan's presence. "Mr. Miller,
are you close with Vanessa?"
"Yes. I'll show you the way to the operating room." Ethan stood to lead the group to the basement.
There were so many things Marina wanted to say, yet he didn't give her the chance to do so.
Soon, they reached the basement, where the door to the operating room was left ajar.

Only the light in the middle of the room was turned on, leaving the corners dimly lit. All they could see
was her silhouette.
Ethan instructed, "Place Marina on the operating table and you guys can leave."
Marina, who knew Ethan's character very well, had a bad feeling upon hearing that order coming from
him.
Marina heard that he had been looking for Olivia all these years, indicating his lingering feelings for her.
Why would he get acquainted with a doctor all of a sudden?
Marina questioned, "Ethan, what's your relationship with Vanessa?"
His voice sounded steely behind her. "It's none of your business."
Then, he left the operating room. He acted so coldly as though they were strangers.
Bitterness imparted in Marina. Although they couldn't get married, was it impossible for them to be
friends?
Fabian settled her on the operating table, his cold eyes staring at her. "Marina, I'll be waiting for you
outside."
Erina patted the back of Marina's hands. "Don't be afraid, Mom. You'll be fine.
After that, the two left, and Ethan personally closed the door.
Erina seated herself on a chair with a distressed expression. "Dad, will she be alright?"
This was what Olivia wished for, and so Ethan didn't question her actions until the end. Not even Ethan
knew what she was going to do.
"Erina, I have something to tell you. Come with me upstairs."
Erina's hunch was telling her it had something to do with that woman. A lot of her classmates came
from a blended family.

Those married couples appeared to be loving on the outside to hide the true story. Despite maintaining
their marital status, they had secret lovers out there.
It was so common that her classmates admitted themselves that they had a step-parent.
Was Ethan going to reveal to Erina that he was going to form another family?
Her instinct urged her to avoid the topic. "Can I stay, Dad? I want to wait until Mom comes out."
He could see through her intention. She was a meticulous kid, indeed.
"It won't take up much time"
"Fine." Since she failed to avoid the conversation, she simply followed him upstairs.
A plate of desserts and fruits were proffered before her. They were her favorites.
Despite their seldom meetups and his aloof attitude, he was aware of her likes.
"Relax. It's just a casual talk." Ethan patted her hands. "You're too sensitive, Erina."
Erina sprang up from the couch, and her eyes were red. "Dad, is it about Dr. Vanessa?"
