Olivia's heart skipped a beat.Ethan added, "Had it not been for you, I would've lost my life. "You're my savior, and I'm genuinely grateful to you. Once I recover, I will surely repay this favor."For some reason, she imagined a story of a hero saving a maiden in distress, in which the maiden would repay the favor by marrying the hero.Olivia and Ethan had divorced years ago, and they had drawn the line that they wouldn't intervene in each other's lives anymore.Yet, an ambiguous emotion stirred in her at the idea of him marrying another woman.Perhaps it was her unwillingness to accept her defeat.Ethan was the man she had loved since her school days. She had imagined building a big family and growing old with him countless times.During their newlywed days, her eyes were always on him as he owned all of her heart. At that time, she had never thought that their marriage would fail one day and that someone else would stand by his side.Still, reality would always hit at the most une

Olivia tied the belt into a knot with quick movements. "Done." Then, she pulled it to lead him to the animal's skin so that he could lie down. "Rest up. You can eat later to replenish."Judging from how the cave was filled with necessities, he figured that she frequently lived here.He thought, "Did she recover from her illness here? How did she raise the kid alone all this time?"There were so many questions in his head, but he didn't dare to rush his plans. One day, the mystery would be solved.Not long after he lay down, he heard the sound of a bell ringing.He held his breath. It was Willow!Although he didn't know her birthdate yet, he had already seen her as his daughter.He didn't move, and the sound of the bell got louder and louder. In the end, it stopped right next to him.Then, she caressed his face.His heart raced as he thought, "She already knows that I'm her father, right?"Ethan didn't want to interrupt such a wonderful moment. Soon, Willow withdrew he

Ethan looked in Olivia's direction. He couldn't see because of the bandage, but her heart palpitated nevertheless.She stood up to place the candies into a basket. "I'm going to bring some to Wendy. Could you look after him?"Willow nodded, and Olivia left. Willow sat next to Ethan while patting the baby deer's head. Sometimes, it accidentally bumped into the man.He had a feeling that they were playing around.He should be happy about it, but he realized something—the candy he ate was made of apples that couldn't be found in the area. Where did they obtain apples from?There was only one possibility—someone else brought it from outside the village!"It must be Jack!" he thought.So many years had passed. No one knew how Olivia was getting along with Jack.While Ethan wasn't by her side, another man was replacing his place.Uneasiness crept into his heart.Willow, who sensed his emotions, grabbed his hand to write a few words. "What's wrong?""Willow, I'm kinda bored h

The sheer idea of Olivia lying beneath another man got his hackles up. The urge to kill Colin was bubbling in him.Willow's ringing bell drew Olivia and Colin's attention. Joyfully, he ran toward Willow.The smile on his face stiffened the moment he noticed the man standing next to her.He pointed at Ethan while asking Olivia, "Is this your patient?""Yeah. It's a long story." Olivia winked at Colin, hinting at him not to say much.Ethan figured that he should act until the end. "Are you having a guest, Vanessa?"Colin laughed. "Should I point out who's actually the guest here?""You seem to hold a grudge against me. Do we know each other?" Ethan feigned innocence. Olivia coldly interrupted their conversation, "No. What brings you here?"Willow gestured to indicate what had happened. Olivia looked at Ethan. "Your eyes hurt?""Yeah. They suddenly hurt after you left. That's why I asked Willow to bring me to you."She frowned slightly. "Come with me."She took two steps away

Cyril could tell the change in Ethan's mood. Sensibly, Cyril closed the door before lowering his voice. "Any orders, Mr. Miller?"Ethan took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He suppressed his emotions to analyze the current situation.If there were a change in Olivia's relationship with Colin, it would be too late for Ethan to stop them right now.On the other side, if they didn't have sex, that meant that Colin had yet to win her heart.If that were the case, Colin would resent Ethan more than Ethan resented Colin.Therefore, Ethan shouldn't dig his own grave at such a crunch moment. It was best he figured out the duo's relationship first.Ethan cleared up his mind and whispered a few words into Cyril's ear. "This is too dangerous, Mr. Miller." Cyril was obviously reluctant to do it."Do as I say. We need to sacrifice something in order to catch the wolf."Cyril couldn't follow Ethan. What did Ethan mean by catching the wolf?Ethan stayed in the room obediently
Chapter 1010
Ethan hung his head low at Wendy's mockery. Willow raised her head to look at him, seemingly waiting for his answer.Previously, she didn't know a thing about her father. When Willow asked Olivia about him at times, she would gloss it over casually.Olivia wasn't willing to tell Willow anything about Ethan.Now, Willow had finally met him. This would be the first time she heard him speaking about Olivia.It seemed like the situation wasn't as she imagined it to be. Ethan loved Olivia."Madam Wendy, you can scold me for being a bastard in the past, hurting her so many times. But you can't doubt my love for her. "Even if she has gone missing for many years, there isn't one day that I've forgotten about her."Colin chimed in, "How hilarious, Mr. Miller. If you truly love her—as you said yourself—why did you hurt her? That's ironic."Ethan could hear Colin's footsteps getting louder. In the end, Colin placed his palm next to Ethan, leaning closer to Ethan.Colin emphasized, "From

The peas kept springing onto Ethan's face. Irritated, he threw the pod in his hand into the basket. "I'm out, Madam Wendy.""Calm down, young man. I know you've never done such chores at home because you came from a rich family. "But think about it: your eyes can't recover in two or three days. You have to get used to the life of a visually impaired person."Ethan was stunned at the idea that Wendy was training him.Olivia had mentioned something similar. However, he didn't pay much heed to it because he was immersed in the ecstasy of reuniting with Olivia.He became serious upon Wendy's reminder. "Madam Wendy, how long will it take for my eyes to recover?""I can't say that for sure. The fastest would be three months, but it could take up to a year and a half. "You better go to the hospital after the remaining poison in your body is removed. It is not easy to treat the eyes. In short, they won't recover that quickly."His heart sank to the pit of his stomach. Before this

The door opened. Ethan couldn't find the exact word to describe his feelings. He was having a rush of blood to the head.Since he couldn't see, he kept imagining Olivia and Colin spending an intimate moment together.A few years ago, Colin did take advantage of the drug to do something similar to her.Now that she was divorced, it was possible for her to develop a relationship with Colin. Even if Ethan found out about it, what could he do about it?At that moment, he felt grateful for the fact that he couldn't witness such a heartbreaking scene with his own eyes.A pleasant smell filled the room. It wasn't a fragrance but more like the smell of shampoo or body shampoo.Olivia sounded cold. "What are you doing here?"Ethan was a little flustered. Exactly. What was he doing over there? Trying to catch a wife in an affair?He reined in the stirred emotions in him, forcing himself to sound as normal as possible. "I heard you were hurting. I thought something happened to you,
