The sky gradually turned dark. By the time Olivia arrived, night had just fallen. The gentle fragrance of flowers drifted in the air.As expected, Olivia was brought to Avelia Hot Spring. A separate hot spring was arranged for Olivia.Could it be that Wayne had truly turned over a new leaf?Even though the scenery was beautiful, Olivia wasn't in the mood to enjoy the hot springs at all.She looked at the guards nearby, who were keeping watch both inside and outside the area. She knew that Wayne must be entertaining the guests at the moment.Could she succeed tonight?After an hour or so, she sat in the yard, looking up at the starry sky as the chirping of insects reached her ears. Beside her, cherry blossom petals fluttered downward.Many petals had fallen into the spring, and the place looked especially beautiful.Someone knocked on the door from outside. "Dr. Ophelia, are you done with your bath?"Olivia returned to her senses. It was Alan."Yes."Olivia opened the door.
Olivia calmly walked out of the room. In the corridor, she ran into Ike, who was closing his eyes and resting. When Ike noticed Olivia coming out, he opened his eyes. "Dr. Ophelia."Ike was a careful man, and it was especially obvious in his cold and dark eyes. Olivia had a feeling that he had always been wary of her.She panicked inside. But on the surface, she maintained her calm as she took the initiative to greet him. "He fell asleep. If possible, let him rest for a while longer.""Alright. Dr. Ophelia, can you take a look at me? My lower back has been hurting for almost a whole day."Olivia didn't bring any other doctors with her this time. So, even if she only wanted to leave at that moment, she couldn't reject Ike's request. She feared that he might notice something off."Sure. Lift up your shirt so that I can take a good look at you.""We can't do it here. If the envoys from the other countries saw us, it might spell trouble. Come with me."Ike started walking
Olivia didn't take it. "I'm a doctor. Do you think I'd recklessly swallow pills that someone gave me? I wanted to leave, anyway. "If you take me out of here, I won't struggle; I'll only feel grateful to you. It doesn't matter much whether I take the pill or not."Ike's expression darkened. "That's not a decision for you to make."With that, he tried to force the pill into Olivia's mouth. "I won't have mercy on you just because you're a woman. "Dr. Ophelia, if I were you, I'd behave and take the pill. At least I don't have to feel the pain."He pinned Olivia down, cruelly strangling her. Of course, Olivia struggled with all her might."Ike, are you there?" Alan's voice rang out at the door.Ike covered Olivia's mouth, warning her not to make any noise."Yes. What's the matter?"Olivia had brought weapons with her, but she wouldn't use them unless she was forced to.So, she could only pretend to be a weak woman. If not, if she was found out, she wouldn't be able to escape t
Alan and Ike were like light and darkness. If Alan was sunshine, then Ike was the dark, endless night. Ike's hands were tainted with filth, and he only appeared in the darkness of the night.Of course, Alan wouldn't let Ike kill the innocent. "Ike, you don't have any evidence to prove that there's something wrong with Dr. Ophelia."Tell me, which spy would be so skilled in medicine that even the hospital director would praise her? "Don't forget, Mr. Maxwell had insisted on bringing her back."She tried to escape a few times, but she was caught and brought back here. "You're trying to kill her because of vague charges. Don't you know how mad Mr. Maxwell will be if he wakes up and finds out?"Ike replied, "I know that Mr. Maxwell will get mad, and he'll even punish me. Even so, I won't let any potential dangers off the hook."Other people may not know how the Moonflowers got here, but you are well aware of that."Olivia looked at Alan. "What's with the Moonflowers?""The s
Wayne, who hadn't completely woken up before this, was suddenly wide awake. His head still felt hazy and heavy.The needles on his head were already removed. The fragrance in the room had just run out, and there was a strong lingering smell in the air.He felt uncomfortable, so he got up unsteadily and opened the windows. He finally felt a little better after the fragrance had dissipated in the cold wind.However, he still felt some pressure in his head. He yawned, glancing around the room. Olivia was long gone.As expected, that woman had left again.Reaching up, Wayne pinched the bridge of his nose. When he lowered his gaze, he realized that the ring on his finger was missing.In an instant, his mind cleared. A slip of paper was placed on the table, and the elegant handwriting on it came into view."Mr. Maxwell, don't trust women so easily in the future. I have taken my reward."When Wayne recalled everything that had happened recently, he could hardly believe that he was b
Olivia was hurrying to leave, but she suddenly paused in her tracks. As she listened to the exploding sound far away, she felt like her feet were frozen; she couldn't move.It was the sound of a small bomb instead of a gunshot. Even if they had noticed Undecim, why would they attack him with bombs?There was only one answer: the chip in the ring had a self-destruction program.However, this information was not in the documents they received.Was Undecim killed by the explosion?Olivia turned around to go back. But then, she stopped in her tracks. If she went back, she would be willingly walking into a trap. If Wayne caught her, she would be dead for sure.So, she quickly made a decision. She ran toward the guest area.The explosion alerted everyone at the scene. Some people poked their heads out of their rooms, trying to figure out what had happened.Olivia was stopped by someone as well. "Stop. Turn around." A stern voice rang out behind her.The person seemed to be Quent
The woman's voice was so delicate that her short utterance sent shivers down Wayne's spine. Wayne felt his body turning numb.Looking up, Wayne saw the faint steam hanging in the air around the hot springs. A man wearing a half mask on his face was pinning a woman under him.The woman's floral dress had an open design, revealing her slender neck and shoulders, but it also managed to hide the important parts perfectly.Her long legs were wrapped around the man's waist, and the man had raised her hands above her head.Ethan's lips were positioned at her neck. This was an extremely suggestive scene, no matter how Wayne looked at it.When the woman heard the sounds of the door getting kicked open, she was startled as she looked at the entrance. She looked like a frightened deer.Her beautiful dark eyes were filled with fear as she hid herself in Ethan's embrace. Grabbing the clothes that were strewn about on the floor, Ethan put them over the woman's body.It happened very quickly
The information on Olivia was easy to get. Soon, everything in her past was revealed to Wayne.She was the pampered young lady of the Fordham family. She was a genius student, but she dropped out for the sake of a man.A few years into their secret marriage, the two constantly had disputes. In the end, they divorced.A few years ago, she found out that she had cancer. At her sickest moment, she completely disappeared from Aldenvine.Some people said that she was dead a long time ago, but some also said that she had retreated into the mountains to await her death.In those three years or so, Ethan never gave up on looking for her. Wayne had heard about this as well.However, when Wayne saw Ethan's ex-wife for the first time, she looked as pretty as a tender flower. And at first glance, he wanted to crush her mercilessly.Judging by the conflict between the two and Olivia's history, Olivia couldn't have been Ophelia.Wayne wondered if he had really gotten the wrong idea.Ophel
