Chapter 1025
Ethan didn't get a wink of sleep that night. It took him so much time and effort to get Olivia back into his arms. He didn't want to sleep after he had finally found her again. Even though he couldn't see her face, he still didn't want to close his eyes. He held her in his arms gently with a loving expression in his eyes. Olivia got a good night's sleep. She slept through the entire night. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ethan's blank stare. It took her by surprise. "Did you stay up the entire night?" Ethan said hoarsely, "I kept thinking about the snakes, and it made me scared. Besides, you were hugging me very tightly. I couldn't fall asleep."Olivia looked down and saw that she was clinging to him with all four of her limbs. She blushed as she pushed him away. "I didn't do it on purpose."Ethan looked at her with a smile. "I wouldn't mind even if you did it on purpose."Olivia wagged a finger before his eyes. She felt relieved after noticing that he didn't

The door opened with a creak. Olivia entered the room with the medicine. She saw Ethan lying in bed. He didn't look so good. "What's wrong with him?Cyril didn't even dare to look at Ethan. He feared he might accidentally let the cat out of the bag. He decided to use the excuse Ethan told him. "Mr. Miller hasn't been able to sleep well at night. He would get flashbacks of the snake pit whenever he closed his eyes. "He didn't get much rest, so his recovery is stunted." Olivia frowned. She had been trying to keep her distance from Ethan for the past few days. So, she never got in contact with him other than when she was bringing him medicine."You're still having trouble sleeping?" Olivia looked at the dark circles under his eyes. It was true that Ethan had trouble sleeping. He had been thinking of Olivia every night. He was afraid that Olivia would throw him out the next day. So, that's why he had those eye bags. Ethan nodded weakly. "That's right. I am haunted by

Olivia hadn't realized the situation she was in yet. She bent over even more, and her chest touched Ethan's forehead. It was very soft. Ethan closed his eyes and tried his best to distract himself. Luckily, Olivia was done shaving him after a short while, and he had the opportunity to catch his breath. Olivia washed her hands and then applied essence oil on her palms to massage his head. She seemed to have gotten better at massaging. Ethan wasn't drowsy at all in the beginning. But Olivia's massage and the fragrant smell made him fall asleep. Olivia sighed in relief when she saw that he had fallen asleep. She stretched as she looked at the calendar. It would take one more week for 90% of the poison in Ethan's system to be cleared out. He would have to rest up and get better on his own after that. Olivia was worried that Ethan wouldn't want to leave. She would have to leave if he didn't want to leave. Olivia read medical books for a while but noticed that Ethan didn't

Olivia's sudden question shocked Ethan. It would be very bad for him if he admitted to having regained his vision. He would never admit it!"Liv, I wish my eyesight would return sooner so I won't cause you so much trouble," Ethan said with a troubled expression. "Don't move. I'll get you some tissues.""Okay."Ethan saw Olivia putting her bathrobe back on. Then, she took a dagger from under her pillow and slowly approached him. She was looking at his face, trying to see if he was lying. Ethan knew what she was thinking. She had started to doubt him. He knew a terrible fate awaited him if she found out he was lying about his eyesight.He felt extremely nervous but couldn't afford to show any emotions on his face. As the blood flowed freely from his nose, Ethan asked innocently, "Where are you, Liv? Are you back yet?"Olivia walked up to him and placed the tissues down. "I'm here," she said in an even tone. She pulled out some tissues and then suddenly drew the dagge

Ethan believed there wasn't anything he couldn't do. Besides, He had four children binding him to Olivia. He told himself not to rush things. He had to take things slow. The resentment she had for him didn't form in a single day. He needed a catalyst to resolve the hatred she had for him. Then, he thought about the heartfelt smile she had just now. Sincerity was the key. Ethan started to formulate a plan. "Liv, where is the towel?"His clothes were covered in blood. So, Olivia had Cyril bring him a new set of clothes. She even left the room and asked Cyril to help Ethan get dressed. "Mrs. Miller told me to bring you back to your room after you're dressed, Mr. Miller."Ethan had a cold expression on his face. That was Olivia's way of telling him that they would never get back together. But Ethan was a rebellious man. He would not give up. Ethan didn't pester Olivia. He left the room with Cyril.There were a few days left. If there weren't any development between him a

Olivia was harnessing the bullock cart. The village's primary modes of transportation were either horses or bullock carts. Despite the challenging conditions, Olivia preferred the simple life of the village over the cutthroat environment of big cities. "You should let Ethan go with you. You'll be able to come back sooner."Wendy had just finished treatment on Cyril, so he couldn't move yet. Also, she was trying to play matchmaker for the two of them. Olivia couldn't turn Wendy down even though she knew what Wendy was doing. It didn't really matter. She was leaving in a few days, after all.Ethan and Olivia sat next to each other on the bullock cart. It was a very bumpy ride. Every now and then, their bodies would be thrown up and down with the cart's motion.Ethan suddenly burst out in laughter. Olivia looked at him and asked, "Why are you laughing?""I just feel like life here is very interesting. I would never have thought we'd be living such a life, you driving a bullock
Chapter 1031
The village wasn't that big. Olivia basically knew everyone who lived here. The two people in front of them weren't married or dating. The woman's name was Isabella. She was the man's sister-in-law. Her husband fell off a cliff two years ago when he was gathering herbs. He was paralyzed and lost the ability to have sex. Isabella was probably too lonely, which was why she was cheating on her husband with his younger brother. Cheating was very commonplace in the city. If it was discovered, the couple would just get a divorce. But divorce wasn't a very popular concept in the village. If Isabella was found out, she would be done for. They were afraid of being found out. That was why they came to a place like the fields. At this hour, everyone would have gone home. Ethan and Olivia were outliers. Ethan spoke up, "Liv …"Before he could utter another word, Olivia covered his mouth. Ethan was new to the village and didn't know about its customs. If Isabella was discovered, she

Olivia could feel Ethan's sturdy body. They were in a stuffy field and covered in sweat from the physical labor. The scent of herbs emanating from her was like an aphrodisiac for Ethan. Olivia smacked his restless hand. "Stay still."Ethan wasn't that obedient this time. He needed an opportunity. Isabella and Aaron's actions were a catalyst for him to achieve a breakthrough with Olivia. The two of them were still going at it very passionately. They must have been very pent-up. The sun was setting, and everyone else had already gone home for dinner. No one would be in the fields at that hour. The atmosphere and location only served to spur the two of them more. They began to do it even more intensely. Ethan was breathing next to Olivia's ear. Even the warm evening breeze was caressing them gently.Ethan sighed. "Liv, I won't force you if you're unwilling. But you laying on top of me will make me lose control. You should get up."As he said that, he reached out to push Oli
