Chapter 1038
Widening her eyes, Olivia leaped off the bed. She didn't even bother putting on her shoes before opening the door. "What did you say?"Cyril had a panicked look on his face. "I found this in Mr. Miller's room."There was a note left for him, telling him to stay here and focus on recuperating.There was also a thick envelope."When Mr. Miller was poisoned, he thought that he wouldn't survive, so he wrote a will and some letters. This is his letter to you."Olivia took the heavy envelope. Then, she returned to her room and opened it.She immediately saw Ethan's familiar handwriting. Unlike his wild and bold signatures, his handwriting was extremely neat. Every stroke was exquisite like Ethan himself."Liv, by the time you read this letter, I should've disappeared from this world already."When you receive this news, will you be happy or a little sad? Now that I'm at death's door, I realize that I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. My heart is even filled with peace."I wo

As tears fell onto the letter, Olivia tightened her grip on the paper. She couldn't control her emotions at all."Mrs. Miller, we've watched everything you and Mr. Miller went through. I believe that we don't have to tell you how much Mr. Miller loves you. You have no idea how he survived the past few years."He suffered a lot just to look for you. This poisoning incident isn't the first, and it won't be the last either. He almost died countless times."Yes, he did some bad things in the past. I'm not giving him an excuse, but isn't he a victim as well? He was deceived by Ms. Miller. Ms. Miller had arranged such a flawless trap."Mr. Miller's family has been broken since he was young. He never received love from his parents, and he only had Ms. Miller to rely on. He innocently believed that Ms. Miller was his everything."After searching for Ms. Miller for so long, that was the answer he received. Think about it. If you were in his shoes, what decision would you have made? Wouldn'

As Olivia stood on the cliff, the wind tousled her hair. Below her, the clouds and mist blocked her view, so she couldn't make out any figures at all.Olivia could understand why Ethan would choose this path. It was dangerous, but at least it was manageable as long as there was no rain.This path was the only one without poison or wild beasts. The only danger was the weather, but he had experience in rock climbing.But it was too dangerous for him to go down blindly without proper equipment. If he were even a little distracted, he would fall to certain death!"Mrs. Miller, are you sure that Mr. Miller took that path?"Olivia nodded. "His scent was cut off here. Look, there's also a length of rope. He must have made it before he left.""I'll go look for him right now.""No, you're not as familiar with this mountain as I am. Moreover, you have to get acupuncture for your leg every day, and you're banned from any vigorous activities."You don't want to be crippled for life, do you
Chapter 1041
Even though Olivia was very familiar with the terrain, she had set out in such a hurry that she didn't bring all the necessary equipment. There was no signal in the mountains either.She was now stuck between a rock and a hard place. She could not turn back now.The rocks were slippery, and she slid downward countless times. Fortunately, she was experienced enough that she could grab onto some branches along the way when she was falling.Because of the forceful tugging, her hands were covered in blood. It was a terrifying sight.It truly wasn't her day today. She kept encountering misfortunes one after the other.Standing on a small tree, Olivia paused and took a few breaths. She opened her palms and glanced at her gruesome hands. Of course, it hurt a lot, but she didn't have time to lament it.Her top priority was to get down the cliff and locate Ethan.The longer the time passed, the further she would be from Ethan. The forest was quite complicated, after all. They were in a p

As their eyes met, Olivia suddenly leaped off the ground. Just as she had done in the snake den, she held Ethan tightly."Damn it, who permitted you to run away? Do you know how worried I was about you?"Ethan knelt on the ground on one knee. His eyes widened as shock filled his face.Last night, Olivia had said so certainly that she hated him and found him disgusting.He thought that he didn't have a chance anymore. He chose to leave so that she could stop crying and he wouldn't be an eyesore to her.But Olivia's embrace made him feel like the dying embers in the fireplace were rekindled. His heart began to thump wildly, and his suppressed emotions were slowly revived."Liv, what did you just say …"Pulling away from his arms, Olivia said through gritted teeth, "I said that I was very worried about you, alright?"Grabbing his collar, she jerked him forward. Then, she raised her head and planted a kiss on Ethan's lips.Ethan felt like his mind had just exploded.What was he s

It was only then that Ethan came to his senses. He was so elated that desire clouded his thoughts. Olivia had descended in the heavy rain, so she must have gotten hurt."Where are you hurt, Liv?"Even until now, Olivia's mind was in a mess. Before this, she went after Ethan without care for anything else. Now that she had bumped into Ethan for real, her face was filled with an awkward expression.After all, she even spoke harshly to Ethan last night. She was eating her words too soon.She didn't know how she should talk to Ethan. Her mind was in a mess, and her heart was even messier."I-I'm fine."There wasn't any illumination in the cave, and the light from outside was meager.It was daytime, but in reality, it wasn't much different from night.Fortunately, Ethan was very experienced in survival in the wild. He had gathered lots of firewood before it rained. He hadn't gotten the chance to use them yet, but now that Olivia was here, they came in handy.Ethan took out a lighte

Olivia found a large shirt of Ethan's. After changing into it, she hastily lay in the sleeping bag.Ethan came back soon enough. Olivia poked only her head out of the sleeping bag. It reminded him of when they were just getting used to each other when they were newlyweds.Even though Ethan was wearing waterproof clothes, he was quite wet as well. Taking off his jacket, he placed it on the rack. He was wearing a white T-shirt underneath.Because of the moisture, his shirt was snug against his body. The lines of his muscles were completely exposed.Ethan asked in a low voice, "Liv … Can I take off my top?"After what happened last night, he didn't dare stimulate Olivia again.Olivia turned away. "Okay."Taking off his top, Ethan placed it on the rack as well. When he saw Olivia looking away, he smiled like an idiot.He felt like he was dreaming. He couldn't believe that Olivia risked her life to look for him. If this wasn't love, then what was?Ethan suddenly felt that all this
Chapter 1045
The shape of Olivia's legs was quite peculiar for normal humans. It looked more fictional than real.Also, because she often soaked in the medicinal spring, even her soles were fair like porcelain. They had a slightly pink tint to them, and they looked quite supple.Her posture had completely showcased her best parts, and she looked extremely alluring.Ethan gulped, recalling what they did in the cornfield last night.It was the most primitive of circumstances and also the most stimulating."Liv …"Ethan's mouth was dry.When Olivia turned around, she saw the gaze in his eyes. He looked like a predator eyeing its prey.They were the parents of four children already, but after being together and apart for years, Olivia still hadn't opened up to him.Sometimes, after she subconsciously hid her body, she wondered a little too late if she had been too coy.But many things had already become a habit of hers, so she wasn't conscious of them at all.Just like now. Her first reactio
