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
Willow followed Olivia obediently. When she walked, the sound of bells accompanied her. Sean couldn't help but pay attention to her.Jacqueline looked quite enthusiastic as well. The Fordhams were a huge family, and Jacqueline was a pampered child. However, she was especially gentle and generous, and she didn't look like a haughty lady from a rich family at all.At the dining table, she was very considerate towards Olivia and Willow. She looked very polite, and people like her were usually well-liked.Olivia only had one thought in her mind: Jacqueline couldn't possibly be the culprit. If it truly were someone like her, it would be too terrifying a thought. She would have to be an extremely cunning person, and her ability to keep things under wraps would be a talent in some ways.After breakfast, because of Jacqueline's urging, Olivia finally started examining Sean's leg. She felt Sean's bone and then glanced at the X-ray he had taken not long ago."Dr. Fordham, how is Sea
Olivia withheld her expression. She couldn't be sure that Jacqueline was the culprit based on the house design alone. She managed to calm down as she said, "No, I just find the design unique.""It's a recent trend that came from Rivoria. It makes the house look clean and simple. I never liked fancy decorations, anyway."Moreover, after he got ill back then, he focused all his attention on his injury. Of course, he didn't care much about how the rooms were decorated.Olivia inserted the needle one by one. Back then, Marina had also gotten into an accident, and her condition was as bad as Sean's. Since Olivia could cure Marina, she could cure Sean as well.She didn't tell Sean about this secret.When Olivia was performing acupuncture on Sean, she casually mentioned Jacqueline so that she could get more information on this sister of his.Before she was done, a man's voice came from outside the door. "I'm here to visit Sean."Jacqueline explained patiently, "Troy, the doctor is
Avery was the eldest child of the Fordhams. He was wise and capable, and if it weren't for his kidney disease, he was flawless. Any woman would easily fall for him.Troy loved drawing and designing from a young age, and he left the family business early on to establish his own brand of fashion and jewelry designs. He was also very well-known internationally.Sean was an ace pilot. There were some highlights in the information Ethan had sent to Olivia. As it turned out, Zephyr Airways was part of the Fordhams' property.Back then, Sean was only practicing flying with the airline company, and he would be taking over his family's airline company the following year. It was then that the accident happened.Sean's girlfriend was a flight attendant. She looked pretty and pure, and they were quite close to each other. They had also promised to get married within three years.On the night before Sean's accident, his girlfriend suddenly broke up with him and went overseas. S
