Chapter 359
“It’s simple. They want to test out the drugs they made.”
Ethan felt a little cranky and subconsciously reached for his cigarettes. Upon realizing that Olivia was still here, he stopped going for his cigarettes.
He rubbed his nose awkwardly as he continued, “Sresearch is forbidden in every country, even for the World Health Organization. These research and experiments are usually inhumane and rejected by society.
“But these things brought sof the most extrresearchers together. Toxic Hive is a
paradise for them. They can do their research however they want and don’t have to think about their impact on others. Their only goals in life are to complete the research that they want to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdo.”
Olivia asked, “So they won’t care even if their research harms society?”
“That’s right. If there isn’t anyone to test out the drugs they made, they’ll release them into crowds of people and let those people becthe test subjects for their drugs. They’ll observe
from afar and record the data to improve their creation.
“People are nothing but lab rats and statistics to them.”
Pursing his lips, Ethan continued, “I won’t deny that they’ve created a lot of medicine and contributed to society. But most of the time, they’re lunatics who would do anything to accomplish their goals without regard for human life.”
The more Olivia read about Toxic Hive, the more fearful she felt. She finally understood how Colin could find a group of hardened mercenaries without much effort.
“Liv, he doesn’t really care about your father. He’s probably just using your father to control you. After our encounter with Toxic Hive, they probably went into hiding at another base. They probably won’t cout and cause trouble for now. Colin might not show himself easily either.
Ethan placed his hands on her shoulders, saying patiently, “I’m the only one you can trust. I’m the only person that treats you well without any ulterior motives. Tellwhere your father is. I’ll help you.”
Olivia was spiraling. A lot of things were going through her mind. She didn’t understand how things had becso complicated. A decent young man turned out to be a cruel demon.
As for the man looking at her with deep affection, she knew he had his own schemes too,
Who should she trust? Who could she trust?

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEthan noticed her gaze, but he didn’t try to force an answer out of her.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me. I just want to remind you that Colin isn’t the good person you thought he was. You only saw the good side of him and missed his evil side. In a sense, everyone in Toxic Hive is insane. They’re very extreme.
“Liv, he tried to use softer methods on you last time, but they failed. He might use more forceful approaches to bend you to his will.”
Olivia agreed with Ethan that everyone in Toxic Hive was insane. Colin and Leia were both lunatics. She shouldn’t try to anger them.
“They should be turning things down a notch recently. But for the sake of your safety, you need my protection. I won’t force you to do anything, but you have to promise to letprotect you, okay?”
Ethan’s attitude was very lax this time. He made several compromises. Olivia thought about her current situation. She was at the point of no return and had no one to rely on.
Back then, she had nothing to live for and could kill herself anytime. But she had a lot of things on her mind at the moment. She had a lot of things she wanted to do.
Olivia slowly looked up to meet Ethan’s gaze. His eyes were filled with her. It seemed like she had no other options but him. Sticking with him was the best chance she had.
At least he wouldn’t hurt her for the tbeing and had the means to bring Jeff back to her.
“Can I trust you this time, Ethan?” she asked softly.
Ethan tried his best to hold back his excitement. Nodding, he said, “Liv, I’d give you my life if you asked for it.”
