Olivia rubbed against Ethan's collar like a cat. "I don't have anything to do with Avery's family. There are no grudges between us. "Moreover, Avery had helped me out before, so the Fordham family is the safest place there. Also, I won't be going there with my original identity. "No one will know that it's me.""You always have your reasons."Ethan was helpless against her. "But this time, promise me that you'll take Willow with you. Willow has an intuition with medicine, and she can tell the animals to protect you.""Sure."Even though Olivia didn't sense anything dangerous about Avery's family, it wasn't a bad idea for Willow to go with her. Of all the children, Willow was the one who had the most interest in medicine. If Willow learned more from Olivia, she would become a wonderful doctor in the future.When the other children heard that Olivia would be leaving with Willow this time, they were both envious and sad. The twins held each of Olivia's hands, saying, "M
Early the next morning, the children got up to see Olivia off."Don't worry, Mom. I'll take good care of Zack and Alicia.""Good boy."Ethan walked up to Olivia. "Don't lose the necklace. No matter where you are, I'll be able to find you."Olivia didn't fault him for planting a tracker on her. If it weren't for the necklace he had given her beforehand, she wouldn't be able to escape."Yeah, I know. Take good care of the children. I'll be back soon.""I've already made preparations in Zelotria. If any accidents happen, you can contact our men anytime.""Alright."Standing on tiptoe, Olivia planted a kiss on Ethan's cheek. She said in a low voice, "I've already promised Connor that I'll consider getting married to you again."Ethan's eyes lit up in joy. He patted Willow on the head. "Darling, keep close to your mom, alright?"Willow nodded obediently. She was elated to be able to keep Olivia company.The two disguised themselves and changed their real appearances. To outsi
Olivia could imagine how beautiful and lonely this field would look when the wind rustled through the grass in the daytime.It was no wonder that Sean would get depressed. If Olivia lived in an environment like that for long periods, even she would have weeds growing all over her heart.The car pulled to a stop. The villa was quite minimalistic. The walls were painted either gray or white. The villa looked stagnant, and there wasn't any liveliness to it at all.It was 11:00 pm by then, but the sound of an ocarina could be heard coming from the villa. The piece being played was the familiar "Celestial Castle".It started to drizzle outside. The rain pelted against the glass window, looking both beautiful and lonely.Olivia was going crazy. Even she couldn't stay more than a few minutes in this place, let alone a depressed person. She felt like a companionless whale in the sea, as if she was the only person left in the whole world. She was devastated and desolate.How could
The willow was a tree that stretched to the heavens while staying rooted in place, and its branches also connected the sky with the ground.Willow's name was quite special, and it was quite rare these days.Olivia explained, "Willow is born mute."Perhaps because they were both physically lacking, with Sean's failing legs and Willow unable to speak, Sean easily resonated with her."She's still so young." Sean's gaze was filled with compassion as he looked at Willow. After all, she was such a young child, but she had never spoken a word.Willow smiled at him. She couldn't speak, but her gaze was radiant and gentle. She didn't look miserable at all.She signed something. Sean couldn't understand, so he looked at Olivia.Olivia explained, "Willow said that even though she can't speak, she feels happy because she has her family who loves her.""Family…" Sean murmured as if he was thinking of something.Olivia took a step forward. "You look very tired, Mr. Sean. You probably ha
Olivia seemed quite young, so she must have been quite amazing to have achieved something in modern medicine. But surprisingly, she could check pulses for deeper signs, too.In a sense, with modern medicine making waves all over the world, the remaining reputable doctors in herbal medicine were on the older side.Sean rarely saw doctors as young as Olivia.Olivia calmly examined his pulse. Sean asked, "How is it?""You should sleep first, Mr. Fordham. We'll talk when you have woken up."With that, she took out the needles. "I'll stimulate your acupuncture points with the silver needles. Coupled with the calming candle, you'll be able to sleep nicely."Sean assumed that Olivia didn't figure anything out from the pulse. She was young, after all. Even internationally famous doctors couldn't cure his insomnia. Sean chose not to expose Olivia. Instead, he allowed her to perform acupuncture on him.Oddly enough, Sean was doubtful at first. But half an hour later, he began to f
No matter how Olivia thought about it, she felt that there was something off about the Fordhams. Quinn was dead, Sean had a broken leg, and Avery was on the verge of death as well. If the real culprit was in the Fordham family, everyone would be a suspect.Even Reginald, who seemed to be quite nice.Just then, Olivia received a call from Avery. She picked up. "Mr. Avery.""I heard that you've arrived, and you even managed to get Sean to fall asleep."The news had traveled fast. If even Avery knew about it, then the culprit must have heard as well.To Olivia, this wasn't a good thing. Her voice turned a little gloomier. "Yes."Avery could hear the odd tone in her voice. He hastily asked, "Is it very difficult to cure my brother's leg?""Mr. Avery, it's not about the leg anymore.""What do you mean?""I suspect that there's a problem in your family. Someone wants Mr. Sean dead, and this person must know every one of you very well. "Mr. Avery, please keep my identity a
Avery had a dark look on his face. He had already noticed the problem early on, but he never managed to figure out who the culprit was.In the past, he only suspected that someone had tampered with him. After all, he found many kidney sources via various methods at the start. However, the kidneys were either incompatible, or their owners couldn't make it for various reasons.Avery didn't expect that Sean would also be a victim of a scheme. He was extremely furious about that.He had secretly suspected some people, but he had ruled them out one by one.Who could it be? Who could be so vicious and so cunning at the same time?"Can you cure Sean's poison?"Olivia said honestly, "Yes, but it'll take some time. Mr. Avery, it'd be best if you don't tell anyone that Mr. Sean was poisoned. "We don't want to alert the enemy. We might also be able to identify that person in the meantime.""You mean…""The person who wants to hurt you guys must care a lot about Sean's health. We jus
Olivia didn't expect Jacqueline to be the first person to visit. From her deductions, the person who wanted to harm Sean the most would be the most concerned about him.Olivia and Avery had planned in advance that other than Avery, no one else would know that Olivia was treating Sean.Unless they were the mastermind who must have been keeping an eye on Sean, they would know that someone had arrived at Sean's villa right away.Was it a coincidence that Jacqueline came here, or…?Even if Jacqueline was the sixth child of the family, Olivia wouldn't let any possibility slip by.Olivia explained calmly, "Fordham is the last name of my teacher, who had taken me in. My real last name isn't Fordham. And you are…?""Sorry, Dr. Fordham. I forgot to make the introductions. This is my sister, Jacquline." When Sean spoke, he seemed much gentler. Olivia could see that the siblings were very close to each other. Back then, when Olivia was with Avery, she had also heard Jacqueline calling
