Even After Death by Lilting Champ

In the Miller residence, the man on the bed moved his fingers.

Then, he shouted, “Liv!” Opening his eyes, he sat up and looked around him in terror.

Janice sighed in relief.

“You’re finally awake.

You’ve been unconscious for three whole days.” Ethan’s memories were still stuck at the beach.

He hastily asked, “Mom! Liv, did you find Liv?” Janice’s heart ached.

She didn’t dare tell him the ending.

“Ethan, please prepare yourself for this.

Olivia is… She is…” “No, that can’t be! Liv can’t be dead!” Ethan couldn’t accept the truth.

He got out of bed bare-footed and then ran outside the door.

“Liv, where are you? Are you avoiding me? Liv, stop hiding!” Ethan searched the place, feeling desperate and lost.

He walked into the bedroom on the first floor.

Everything in the room remained the same as when Olivia left.
