Olivia was puzzled. "Explain that, please. I don't get it.""Let's put it this way. Kurt had been training with me since young, and because he looked similar to me, he was one of my body doubles. "We braved dangers together, but he sadly fell in love with Marina."He got Marina pregnant. And then, when we were out on a mission, he suffered a lethal attack in my stead."Before he died, he was worried about Marina, so he asked me to take good care of her and the children."With gratitude toward Kurt, I agreed to all of Marina's requests. Back then, I mistook the Fordhams' relationship with my sister."With the two incidents overlapping, I got revenge on the Fordhams while I took care of the pregnant Marina. That was why you thought I cheated on you."I didn't explain anything when you questioned me."Marina didn't want the children in her belly to grow up in a single-parent family, so she pleaded with me to give her a home."Olivia felt bitter in her heart. "So you gave it to h

Those were tears of happiness. Olivia was both overjoyed and overwhelmed. She didn't know what to say at all. Her mind was filled with images of Connor's adorable face.She had been too foolish. If she had known the truth, she would have spent more time with the child."Don't cry, Liv. I know it's all my fault."Olivia hit Ethan on the shoulder. "Of course, it's your fault."Even though she avoided his wounds, the impact still affected some of his wounds. Ethan seethed in pain.In the past, she kept fantasizing that Connor was her child. But now, it wasn't a fantasy anymore. Connor truly was her son.The good news took Olivia by surprise. She was right to have endured until this day.She finally had her good ending."Time and again, I compromised for Kurt's sake. Unexpectedly, when given an inch, Marina asked for a mile. "She had already used up all of Kurt's kindness, so I finally called off the marriage."Now, the most I can do is to let her live the rest of her life in peace. I w

Olivia's wig was getting messy from Ethan's rubbing. Ethan chuckled. "I like your previous hair better. It's soft and smells nice.""You're annoying." Olivia snorted. Then, she got up and finished applying the ointment to his back. After that, she bandaged him.She had a feeling that Ethan was planning something important, which was why he urgently wanted her to leave.They were already divorced, so he naturally wasn't obliged to report anything he wanted to do to her.Even though the child was alive, the hurt he had given her was real, too.To repay someone else's kindness, he had given her pain and suffering. This was quite unfair to Olivia.They wouldn't reconcile just because of the child. The only relationship they had was that they were the parents of their children.She would take care of Ethan for seven days to repay his kindness for saving her.But after that, they would go their separate ways. Olivia had a path she wanted to take as well.In the next few days, the ti

Ethan didn't even raise his head as Olivia fed him. He had complete faith in her.His action served as a reality check to Krystal. She felt like she was a joke.The duo had chemistry in them. When the fruit juice oozed out of the corner of his lips after he munched it, Olivia quickly wiped it away for him.After he finished, Olivia sat next to him to wait for him.When he was done reading, she suggested, "If you're fine with it, I can apply medicine for you."He hummed lightly in response.She headed to the restroom to bring over a basin of warm water and cloth.Only then did she speak to Krystal. "Ms. Heath, I have to apply medicine for him.""Sova's a guy. Don't tell me that he's bothered by others looking at his body." It was as if Krystal had swallowed a ball of flame. Ethan didn't eat the apple she cut, but he ate Olivia's instead!Krystal wondered what kind of spell Olivia had cast upon him.Ethan blurted, "I am bothered by that as long as the person looking is not my

It was only then that Olivia recalled the fact that Ethan hadn't showered for three days. She had been wiping his limbs with a cloth and nothing more.He was a man who showered every day back at home. He must be having a hard time putting up with it for so long.It was a normal request. There was nothing to be embarrassed about."I'll call Kelvin to come over to wipe your body. Your back must stay away from water.""Okay."Olivia made the phone call, and Kelvin sounded busy. The background noise over the line was loud, too. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Miller. Brent and I are busy. I'm afraid we can't come over these two days. "If you need anything, you can ask for it from the nurse. She'll bring you what you need."Now that he had put it that way, she didn't push him further and ended the call."I'll call two nurses over for you."Ethan suddenly pulled her over by grabbing her wrist. She almost fell over, but she managed to support herself.Thanks to the proximity, Ethan could see a few water

Olivia's face was as red as an apple.Although the couple had done something more intimate than this, it was her first time removing Ethan's pants. Not to mention, they were divorced, too.He appeared calm and was waiting for her patiently.Olivia mentally prepared herself. Taking a deep breath, she began moving her fingers.She closed her eyes and pulled his pants down. Following that, she hurriedly turned around to make sure the water temperature was right.By the time she turned around again, he already sat down with his legs slightly open.His muscles were so defined that they could drive any woman crazy.Yet, Ethan sat with his back straightened. He seemed so serious that having any distorted thoughts about him would be a sin."Thanks, Liv."What else could Olivia say?Although it was a decent place, it didn't provide a loofah.After drenching his body with water, she pumped some body shampoo onto her palm. She slid her hands down his body.The calluses on her hands

Olivia hurriedly lowered her head only to realize what she was doing. If Ethan had not grabbed her hands, they would've moved further up.Quickly, she withdrew her hands from his. The inertia of the sudden movement pushed her onto the floor. "Ouch!"The worried man walked over, wanting to help her up. "Liv, are you alright?"The floor was covered with soap. He was anxious, so he didn't take caution and slipped.They were in each other's arms right now, with Ethan hovering over her.They could feel each other's bodies.Olivia was going insane. Not even scriptwriters would add such a scene to their works!The first thing she thought of was his wounds. "Are you alright? Did it tear your wounds?"The huge movements pulled his wounds, sending agonizing pain over his back.Ethan endured the pain. "I'm fine. Just give me some time to catch my breath."Olivia didn't dare to ask him to get up, worrying that it might hurt him more. Thus, she let him hover over her.However, she

Ethan's wronged tone prompted Olivia to lift her head. He looked like an abandoned puppy with those teary eyes.Was that the Ethan she knew? Or could it be that his body was possessed by a puppy's soul?She responded wryly, "How can I help you?"He tapped on her palm, and her face turned beet red.She refused profusely, "No. I refuse. Don't even think about it.""You don't move. I'll do it. How's that?" Olivia's eyes widened at that, as she hadn't expected to hear that from Ethan."Don't worry, Liv. I won't touch you. This will do."She was wearing silk pajamas. The thin fabric rendered the sensation as raw as it could be.He panted right next to her ear, and she felt so embarrassed about it.Covering her eyes with the back of her hands, Olivia scolded, "You're mean, Ethan Miller!"He hummed in response. "I am mean, so what? A mean person like me loves you and will love you for the rest of his life."Her heart raced. "Cut it out, you jerk!"Ethan's panting became heavier.

Ethan placed Olivia on the bed before turning to go to the couch.It was a two-seat couch. Due to his height, he had to stretch his legs over the armrest.She took a deep breath as she felt that she could go mad at any moment now. "Ethan Miller, do you just wanna annoy me?""I can sleep on the couch, Liv. Look. I can sleep this way.""Get your ass back on the bed right now!" He meekly moved to the bed upon her outburst. It was the first time they interacted this way, but it seemed harmonious for some reason.Olivia wrapped herself in the blanket like a mummy. Ethan wasn't sleeping. He kept staring at her like a dark spirit.She woke up a few times that night, and that man gazed at her just like that. He almost gave her a heart attack. "Jeez! Can't you just sleep?""My back hurts, so I can't sleep. Close your eyes. I'll keep a watch out."She was rendered speechless, wondering who was actually supposed to be keeping watch.She turned her back to him, and he stared at the back of he

Ethan's soft whisper seeped into her ears, and her face turned crimson almost instantly.At first, she didn't stop him because she assumed that he would go to sleep after hugging her.Yet, who knew that he had the guts to try his luck?When it came to this kind of matter, zero resistance meant silent consent. Now, she could neither pretend to be asleep nor scold him. She was at her wit's end.His hand was still wandering on her body waywardly. "Liv, it's been a while. Have you not thought about it?"Olivia was flushing red. Even her voice was breathy. "Staying alive alone is difficult enough. Do you think that I have the time to think about this?"Ethan kissed the back of her ear. "I think about you so much that I'm going crazy."Although they had sweet moments before, the reserved man had never made such a bold yet passionate confession.Even though she was right in front of him, he was used to keeping his emotions under control. He didn't want others to read his mind.It could be
