Olivia swiftly prepared the medicinal herbs. Now, she was a far cry from who she used to be.She was calm and collected, and she was also powerful and steady. She was an independent woman now.Alora Village lacked many things, but medicinal herbs were not one of them. Wendy had taught Olivia everything she knew about medicine.Olivia had an amazing talent for curing poison, and she was already one of the top professionals in the world.She grabbed the things she needed and then hurried to the cave.She had just entered the cave when she heard Krystal sobbing. The cries didn't sound fake.Olivia heard that Krystal had liked Ethan for years. The two came from families of similar statuses, and they worked in the same profession. Even their blood type was the same.Perhaps Krystal was the person who suited him perfectly instead.Olivia walked in calmly. Krystal knelt at her feet, saying, "Doctor, my blood type is the same as his. If a blood transfusion is necessary, please use mine. I can

While Brent was still stunned, Olivia swiftly mixed the herbs. She handed another portion to Willow, asking the latter to make medicine out of it.Of her few children, only Willow had a special physique and inherited medicine.More than three years ago, Olivia realized that she was pregnant. Colin wanted her to abort the child so that they wouldn't have to worry about future issues when she was getting treatment.Olivia declined Colin's suggestion. In the end, after running out of options, Colin thought of a foolproof plan. He would send Olivia to Alora Village into Wendy's hands.Wendy knew a secret technique, which was to develop a medicinal fetus. It was an approach that contrasted Colin's.The fetus nourished by medicine alone wouldn't fear any side effects of medicine while in the womb.Wendy was very demanding toward Olivia as the mother. Olivia had to eat medicinal herbs like they were her meals every day.Under such circumstances, Olivia successfully cured her cancer

Ethan breathed weakly by Olivia's ear. It had been a long time since Olivia had been in such close contact with a man.Moreover, this man was calling her name. Her body stiffened a little.Wasn't he already engaged to someone else?Brent was startled when he saw that. He feared that this might offend the doctor, and the doctor would refuse to treat Ethan in her anger.So, he hastily said, "I'm so sorry. My boss doesn't know what's going on anymore.""It's okay." Olivia helped Ethan to the side of the tub. Then, she said, "Take off his clothes and put him inside."With that, she turned around to organize the herbs. A little foolishly, Brent asked, "All of it?""Yes," Olivia replied sullenly.When Brent said those words, the image of Ethan's body appeared in her mind. She had gotten herself intertwined with that man's body countless times, so no one knew that body better than her.Ethan's body had firmed up even more compared to when she left him back then. When she was ho

Olivia laid out the piece of animal skin again. She also brought a small blanket over.Brent said, "Vanessa, can you give me a hand? I can't get him out alone."Ethan had lost consciousness, so Brent couldn't move Ethan out on his own.Olivia was troubled. She had told Kelvin to leave just now because he was too jumpy and nervous.But now, she realized that she had caused trouble for herself. In the end, she decided to just treat Ethan as a normal patient."Alright."The two stood on the steps, getting Ethan out after a huge struggle. Olivia didn't dare to look where she shouldn't.Ethan was covered in burning heat, and no one knew if his body was covered with the medicinal water or his sweat. Still, he looked a little better than before."Careful." Brent carefully helped Ethan out.Olivia moved quite gently, but the ground was uneven. Brent didn't watch where he was going, so Ethan's body fell.Like a dead body, Ethan's body weighed upon Olivia, pinning her on the piece of

Brent subconsciously gulped as he pointed at himself. "Me?"Olivia said coldly, "Who else? Me? Hurry up. The time you're delaying right now is the life he's losing."Brent was a little exasperated. He didn't have a girlfriend, but it didn't mean that he swung that way. He was as straight as can be.But the doctor was right. The more time he wasted, the closer Ethan was to death."I … Fine." Brent thought that as long as it could help Ethan survive, this was nothing.With that, Brent took the bowl of medicine and held a mouthful in his mouth. The corners of his mouth kept twitching."Steady yourself. Don't waste the medicine. The second dose uses other herbs, and they have different effects."Brent felt like this was even harder than walking on a tightrope. Steeling himself, he closed his eyes and chose not to think of anything as he aimed his mouth at Ethan's.It was a matter of life and death, so he shouldn't think too much about it. He would treat it as CPR.Moreover, Et

Olivia was rendered speechless at how energetic Ethan was after having only recovered a little.His hearing recovered fast. After all, the last organ to stop functioning when a human was dying was the ears.Still, there was no improvement in his eyesight. Even though she stood close to him, he could only see a blurred image.He didn't hear anything familiar, so he didn't know what kind of situation he was in. Hence, he resorted to self-defense.Ethan strangled Olivia, not giving her the chance to escape."If you wanna die, strangle me to death." She changed her voice. Not even Brent and the others could recognize her."Who are you?""Your savior."Only then did he relax his grasp a little, letting her breathe. "Sorry. I can't see, so I have no idea what's going on right now.""You're in a bathtub. There's no dialysis here. All I can do is remove the poison in you with high temperature. I was trying to check on your condition," she explained monotonously."I'm sorry." He realized how

Olivia's temper was slowly taking over her rationality. "Fine. You don't wanna let me check on you? Someone else will. Don't regret this later."Then, she intended to get out of the bathtub. If she stayed there any longer, she would've melted from the heat.She was clad in a long dress. The bathtub was slippery, and Ethan was at the rim that came with the stairs.When she was trying to get out of it, she stepped on her dress and slipped into the bathtub."Be careful." He held her in reflex as she shrieked in her normal voice."Liv!" Excitement beamed on his face.By the time Olivia pulled herself together, she realized that she was lying on his bare chest.Her soft palm pressed against his toned muscles. What scared her the most was that he appeared as though he was going to devour her whole.The calm Olivia changed her voice. "Please let go of me."Ethan was stunned by the unfamiliar voice, wondering if he had heard it wrongly. He quickly released her. He realized how absurd it was

Olivia returned to her room at full speed. She had not slept for an entire day just to prepare the medication and apply it to Ethan.The treatment in the first three days was crucial for recovery. The medication mustn't stop.The dispute with him earlier on almost exposed her true self.She took the mask off to wipe it dry meticulously before getting changed.Recalling Ethan's awkward manner, she reckoned that those days when he was unconscious were for the best.Now, she didn't know what tricks he would pull off every time she needed to check on his body.Thus, Olivia made a special medicine for emergency purposes. She wore the mask again. Not wanting to waste time, she took the shortcut to the cave with hurried steps.While she was waiting for the medicine, she ate some fruits to stave off hunger and exhaustion."He's not willing to let me check his body. Check on him and describe it to me," she informed Kelvin."Sure."While she was away, Kelvin and Ethan were exchanging

Olivia couldn't comprehend the situation.She initially thought that Ethan would listen to her and let her check on him. She couldn't understand how he wanted a kiss as soon as they met.Besides, the kiss tasted bitter because Brent fed him medicine yesterday. She couldn't take it!She felt that she had dug her own grave for some reason."Ethan Miller, let go of me!"He hugged her like a koala, not wanting to release her. "Do you know how long I've been searching for you, Liv? I miss you every night and day. I was such a fool. Had I known that you'd go missing, I wouldn't have let you go."Olivia was stunned. It was no wonder that it was a smooth escape.Those people were hot on her heels the moment she escaped. Ethan was aware of her plan the whole time.If he wanted to stop her, he could've ruined her plans from the beginning."Why did you choose to let me go?""Because I've done so many despicable things to you. I wanted to make up for them," Ethan blurted the truth, bel

It took up so much of Olivia's will for her to shift her gaze away from Ethan's abs. She began the checkup seriously and took out a stethoscope to listen to his heartbeat."What is this, Liv? It's cold," he muttered. "Why does this dream feel so real?""Stop talking," she hushed him, not wanting to waste the time explaining it to him.After that, she checked on his eyes. His orbs were lifeless, so she couldn't diagnose anything from them.The only thing she could do was to detox him so that he could check his eyes at a hospital.Once the detox was over, his other organs would recover slowly.Meanwhile, Ethan hurriedly zipped his lips. Even though it was a dream to him, he wished she could stay a second longer. That way, there would at least be more memories he could look back on."Turn around.""Okay."After a meticulous check, she deemed that the effort she spent over the last two days was worth it.The most important factor was that he was healthier than an average pe
