Olivia knew the situation was spiraling beyond her control. How could she tolerate such audacity from a man? The moment Wayne's touch nearly grazed her skin, she kneed him fiercely in the abdomen. She took advantage of Wayne's momentary pain and kicked him away.She scrambled off the bed, panicked, and quickly grabbed a bottle of red wine. Not caring about the vintage bottle, she smashed it against the table. Wine spilled everywhere. She pointed the jagged edge at her own neck and sternly warned, "Don't come any closer!"All this happened in the blink of an eye. Wayne knew she had a fiery temper but had not anticipated her being this fierce. "Don't be rash. I won't touch you. Just put the bottle down."Olivia would not trust the words of a man inflamed with desire. Her voice was cold. "I'm warning you, if you lay a hand on me again, I'll end my life right in front of you.""You won't do it. You have children. How could you bear to leave them?" Wayne challenged."I might have vul
Perhaps due to her intense reaction last night, Wayne did not appear in front of Olivia all day. Olivia spent her day at the Royal Hospital teaching everyone the acupuncture technique. Just after dusk, Wayne awaited Olivia's arrival so that she could administer acupuncture. He thought about various apology strategies.His heart raced involuntarily when he heard footsteps approaching. He stood with his back to the person coming and adopted a harsh tone. "I was wrong about last night. Don't get the wrong idea. It's not that I like you. I just have a thing for married women!" he said.He was even prepared to tarnish his own image to reassure Olivia. His claim of liking married women was merely an excuse. Wayne waited for Olivia's response. His ears turned red as he continued gruffly, "So you can rest assured, I won't make any moves on you. I keep the promises I make."Why are you silent? I've apologized. What more do you want?" he exclaimed angrily.He turned in anger, only to fin
Olivia had a plan. "Wait for his insomnia to kick in, then give him the sedative." She calculated in her mind and continued, "You get ready. If I'm going to act in three days, I'll place a red anthurium here. If the mission is canceled, I'll put a magnolia.""I'll wait for your good news," Undecim responded.After their brief meeting, they parted ways. Olivia returned to her room to rest. Wayne did not visit her that night, and she wondered if he had slept.The next day, she went to the Royal Hospital as usual. Over the past few days, Olivia had gotten along well with everyone. They had elevated her from Ms. Ophelia to Dr. Ophelia in their address.Wayne had some time to visit the hospital. He saw Olivia turn sideways and explain medical knowledge to someone. She patiently compared two similar herbs, and the admiration was evident on the face of a young medical student who had just joined.Wayne pondered why he was drawn to a woman who wasn't even strikingly beautiful. Perhaps i
Olivia wanted to come up with other reasons to find out Ethan's whereabouts. To her surprise, he showed up himself.After spending time with Olivia, Grant discovered that her medical skills were better than his. Thus, he let her treat Ethan rest assuredly.After all, Ethan was a nobleman. Grant couldn't afford to let mistakes happen. In a soft voice, he asked, "Dr. Ophelia, how is he?"Olivia let go of Ethan after checking his heart rate. With an indifferent expression, she answered, "He's fine. He must have fainted suddenly because of exhaustion and low blood sugar."Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Ethan was an important figure in Arlandia. He always wore a mask and rarely showed himself to others.It would be bad if something happened to him.Olivia pulled out a few acupuncture needles and inserted them into Ethan's skin to stimulate strategic points throughout his body. Soon, he woke up and began to put on an act."What happened?""Mr. Miller, you fainted just now. Luckil
Marvin leaned closer to Olivia. Excitedly, he asked, "Ms. Ophelia, what topic are you thinking about? Can I join in the discussion? I've never heard of the Snowdrop you mentioned previously. You know so many herbs."Olivia felt even more awkward now. The topic she was thinking about was a bit explicit.After all, she couldn't tell Marvin about how she was planning to tear open Ethan's clothes and kiss him to relieve her lovesickness."Let's discuss this next time."After taking a few bites of her food, Olivia started preparing Wayne's herbs. Fanning the fire, she waited patiently for Ethan.With his identity, he would definitely need to socialize with Wayne. Even though they despised each other to the point they wanted to stab one another, they had to have a meal together, chat, shake hands, and put on a fake smile. After eating, they had many more things to do.Ethan and Wayne were absent-minded.Wayne asked, "It must've been tough for you to come all the way here. Please forgi
Olivia didn't pretend to be shy. Wrapping her arms around Ethan's neck, she welcomed him. The kiss ended when she was almost out of breath.Out of energy, she remained in his embrace and listened to his strong heartbeat."Ethan, I missed you." Olivia smiled sweetly in Ethan's embrace.Ethan, who was initially angry, finally calmed down. "Do you know what you're doing? I haven't had a good night's sleep for the past several days!"Like a cat, Olivia rubbed her face against his. "I'm sorry.""When you rub your face against mine, I always feel like I'm having an affair."Ethan frowned. He didn't like Olivia using someone else's face to be intimate with him.Reaching out, he wanted to pull Olivia's mask off her face, but she stopped him. "No. my appearance can't be destroyed here. There aren't any materials for me to restore it."Ethan pulled her to the couch to sit down. "Now can you tell me why you need his ring?"Olivia jumped onto him again. "We haven't seen each other for a l
Suddenly, Ethan realized his relationship with Olivia had changed a lot. Although he liked her in the past, his feelings for her were more like doting on a pet.She could accompany him and lift his mood. On the other hand, he was her shelter. He never thought about what she needed.After leaving Ethan, Olivia became more confident and free-spirited. She was outstanding. He had fallen even more in love with her, but at the same time, he felt afraid.In their relationship, he had a low status.He knelt on one knee on the couch. His hands roamed from Olivia's neck to her body. He mumbled, "Liv, can you spare me more of your love?"Olivia was like his God. Holding his face, she said, "Be good."Many days had passed since they last met. The two let themselves free and used their bodies to express their longing for each other.Right then, someone knocked on the door. Brent's voice sounded. "Mr. Miller, Wayne is arriving soon."Ethan frowned. Squatting on the ground, he helped Olivia
Ethan looked at Wayne to see his reaction. They had known each other for many years. He knew that the latter had a bad temperament.In the past, even when Wayne had nothing, he wouldn't let anyone treat him that way, let alone now.The people who had reprimanded him before were already dead.However, after Olivia scolded him, he was not angry. Alan and Ike, who were behind him, remained the same expression. So, it wasn't Olivia's first time scolding him.It didn't seem that Wayne only liked Olivia.Men would understand other men well. If Wayne didn't like Olivia a lot, he wouldn't let her step on him. Ethan curled the fingers that were on his pants.He needed to take Olivia away as soon as possible.Kelvin was astonished. Why would Wayne listen to Olivia's words? It was too strange.In Kelvin's opinion, Wayne was like a rebel in high school. He wouldn't listen to any teacher. All of a sudden, he became obedient. It didn't make sense.Brent's gaze darted back and forth betw
