Everyone was startled at the loud sound of flesh hitting the tiles.This wasn't paying respects, this was attempted murder!Was Ethan crazy? What had the woman done to him that he would be so cruel toward her?Leia probably never expected this. She was just here to look on, but she was found out in the end. Also, the one who did this to her was her older brother, whom she cared about the most.In her competition with Olivia, she had always been the one Ethan chose.Last time, he even injured Olivia's hand for her sake.So how did things turn out like this?Leia's head was spinning from the impact. The skin on her head was also in a bloody mess.Did Ethan know how hard she had worked just to get her current appearance?"You must have gotten the wrong person, Mr. Miller! I've never done anything to you. Why would you treat me like this?" Leia lowered her voice on purpose, but she couldn't hide the hoarseness in it.Even if her face could be restored, she couldn't fix her voice,

Ethan already had a lead. He was about 70% sure that Olivia was still alive and that he could soon find out where she was right now.His expression remained unaffected as he said, "Thanks."Keith met Ethan's gaze. Ethan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he had lost a lot of weight. Keith could see that for the past few days, every single second had been torture to him.The people who attended the funeral found it weird. Never mind someone bleeding at the funeral, the Miller family didn't even stop Ethan, allowing him to continue kneeling.There was a great meaning behind a man prostrating himself, and it was only reserved for the most reverent of times.But now, Ethan was kneeling to pay respects to his wife. He was even kneeling for a long time, refusing to get up.Time ticked by, and the sky grew dark. Unable to endure it any longer, Leia fainted.Janice hastily went forward. "That's enough, Ethan."Ethan looked at Leia. The blood on her forehead had already clotted,

After what happened last time, Leia was filled with fear toward Ethan. She subconsciously trembled.Janice thought that Ethan had vented enough. After all, Leia had been unconscious for a whole day, and the medical team Ethan hired had taken extra care of her during that period."Kid, Leia has just woken up. You're scaring her like this."Ethan glanced at her calmly. "Mom, did you think that the matter of her hurting Liv would end here?"Janice's expression shifted as well. She warily stood in front of Leia, blocking Ethan's sharp gaze."Look, her head is already injured. Even if she did something bad to Liv in the past, isn't this enough to make up for it?"Janice liked Olivia, and she pitied their marriage. But Leia was her daughter, after all.The human heart was made of flesh, not stone. If Janice had to choose between her deceased daughter-in-law and her daughter, of course, she would choose her daughter.Sneering, Ethan hobbled up to Leia.He had knelt for so long that h

Ethan stared at Leia as though she was a beast, wondering why she was quiet and calm.She reached out another hand to caress his face, smiling. "Ethan, you're hurting more than I am, aren't you?""Why do you have to do this? Liv was such a good person. Why did you have to hurt her?""There's no reason. I just hate her to the bones."People said that madness could run in a family. Leia and Ethan were as mad as their mother to some extent."Even up to this point, why are you still not repenting your wrongful deeds!"He quickly broke the ligament of her right hand, and blood splattered onto her face.However, Leia smiled so dazzlingly. "No matter what you do to me, she'll never come back."Janice didn't expect Ethan to take it this far. He had injured his sister's hand within such a short period!Janice pushed him away with all her might and faced Leia's smiling face. "You guys are crazy! Doctor! Call the doctor, hurry!"An anxious Janice, who wanted to check on Leia's wound, ro

"No!" Janice shouted at the top of her lungs.Once a wrong step was taken, the rest of the decisions made would be wrong. The fact that she was blinded by love had turned her family into this.They weren't like a family.Ethan was a man of his word. He really crippled Leia, turning her into a disabled person.Janice stayed by Leia's side as if trying to make up for the ungiven maternal love.Janice didn't mind showering, combing, and feeding Leia, compensating Leia for the lost maternal love.In actuality, Leia didn't ask for much for her future. Life and death didn't make much difference to her.Other than the coincidental warmth from Avery, she was used to humanity's cruelty a long time ago.Now that Janice suddenly treated her this way, she couldn't get used to it.In the past, her mother resented her while her brother gave her warmth.Now, it was the exact opposite. Ethan resented her to the bones while Janice gave her the warmest treatment ever. Janice lived under th

It was night when Keith secretly arrived in a mansion in the mountains.The lights on the first floor were turned on.Noticing Keith, Irene Tucker welcomed him. "No one noticed you, right?""No. How's she doing?"She pouted her lips, wrapping her arms around his neck in displeasure. "Don't you think that you're being too much? You asked your girlfriend to look after your first love. And the first thing you ask about after returning is her.""Sorry, Iri. It's because Olivia's situation is not like any other normal situation."His frantic explanation prompted her to chuckle. The dimples adorning the side of her mouth were adorable."Alright, I was just kidding. Am I that kind of narrow-minded woman? Besides, I can understand you. She has the brain and looks. Even a woman like me finds it easy to fall for her with her looks alone, let alone you."Keith heaved a sigh of relief as he had been worried that Irene would misunderstand the situation.Although he indeed had feelings for

Olivia had been resting well these days, so her stats were showing improvement.Keith could tell that her complexion looked better than before. She seemed alive."How does it feel to live here, Olivia? Are you getting used to the environment?" he inquired."Yeah, everything's great. Iri takes care of me meticulously. I'm happy here."Most importantly, she didn't need to live under Ethan's control or worry about assassinations.The majority of illnesses were rooted in bad mental health. Since there was no pressure, she was able to recover quickly. "Glad to hear that. Iri loves helping people out when she can. Just tell her if you need anything.""Thank you. I'll be sure to remember this favor. If I'm still around in the future, I'll be sure to repay your favor."Irene said, "You don't have to be a stranger with us, Olivia. Come, sit down. Let's have a talk."Olivia slowly sat down. "What is it that you want to tell me, Dr. Rogers? Did he find out something?"She knew how skep

Keith heaved a sigh, relieved by Olivia's current condition. "I thought it would pain you to know his situation and you'd regret your decision. I'm glad that you've gotten over him.""Dr. Rogers, the past Olivia has died in that sea. I made this choice myself, and I won't regret it."He suddenly recalled the moment he asked her if she regretted marrying Ethan, and she had calmly answered that she did not.This time, the determination settled in her eyes steadily. She showed pertinence as though she had been given a new lease of life."Before I finish what I should do, I'll never give up on my life." She had made up her mind.Other than escaping from Ethan, there were so many things Olivia had yet to do.She had to find out who the mastermind was and one more person.After regaining her memories, she thought of the person she met when she was suffering from amnesia—Jack.He had been carrying twins in his arms. The kids looked familiar to her.Most importantly, they weighed the

Brent took his phone out. "This is what we got from the micro camera."Based on the footage, Olivia was reading a book in the yard quietly. Although the camera was the size of a spider, its recorded footage was of high-resolution quality.Lifting his hand, Ethan caressed Olivia's face on the screen. As he had thought, letting her go was a good decision. She seemed better than before."We have updates. Keith asked someone to prepare the medicines for chemotherapy. It seems like Mrs. Miller is going to undergo her second round of chemotherapy.""Got it."Even though Ethan could barely see the lights in the mansion, he was assured at the idea that Olivia was in there.However, they shouldn't alarm the people in the mansion. They could only place the micro camera in the yard and wait for Olivia to come out."We should head back, Mr. Miller. You can't see Mrs. Miller from here either. Now that we know she's still alive, please be rest assured."Recalling how strong Olivia's reactio

Ethan played along with Keith. "I know.""Olivia is gone. What's your next plan?"Ethan was a clever person. It took him one second to know what Keith meant by that.Ethan thought, "It seems like taking his things home is an excuse. He's trying to check on my plans for Olivia."Ethan turned and answered, "I initially planned to start life anew with Olivia. But unexpectedly, I didn't get to wait for that day to come. I'll be returning to the country soon."Since Olivia was afraid of Ethan, he figured that it was better for him to leave.Keith quickly asked, "When are you planning to leave?"Noticing that he seemed anxious about it, he hurriedly added, "As a friend, I would like to send you and Olivia off.""Tomorrow. You can come if you want to."After Keith left, a dubious Kelvin questioned, "Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller has just finished her second round of chemotherapy. Can you leave her with peace of mind?"Brent added, "I'm afraid Mrs. Miller is still worried, which is why she
