The results were right before Jacqueline's eyes. Jacqueline didn't find any suspicious herbs. As Olivia had said, she had indeed focused her treatments on Sean's insomnia alone. However, Jacqueline still felt restless."Have you figured out where Avery is?""There's still no news so far. He was at the Cape of Promise last time, and he soon went to Mozatia after that. He must be dying soon, and he wants to see as much of the world as he can before he dies."Jacqueline's delicate eyebrows creased. "I feel like something's off. If he's really dying soon, he'll stay home and deal with the handing over of his work and funds. Why would he travel all around the globe?""What do you mean by this?""Could it be that his travels were just for show, and he's actually getting treatment right now?"The other person smiled. "You've learned medicine before, so you should know how his current condition is. He is beyond saving.""Even so, I feel quite anxious lately. I can't sleep at night
When Jacqueline heard that, she was stunned for a moment. Olivia managed to catch sight of that.After the momentary bewilderment, Jacqueline smiled. "Sean, I'm so glad that you've thought things through. Please don't try to end your life anymore. I was so worried last time.""Don't worry, I know how precious life is now. I won't do that again.""Dr. Fordham, I was right about you. You are indeed capable. In just one week, Sean seems to have gotten much better.""You flatter me, Ms. Jacqueline. Mr. Sean has sorted out his mindset, all thanks to his family. I am nothing in comparison.""You're as humble as always, Dr. Fordham."Olivia wasn't sure if she was seeing things, but she felt as if Jacqueline was looking at her with a meaningful gaze.When Jacqueline appeared, Willow stayed very close to Olivia. She stared at Jacqueline with her green eyes.She finally let her guard down after Jacqueline left.She stood on the balcony, watching as Jacqueline's car went out of sight
The scarce number of visitors caught Olivia's attention. Something felt off, so she asked, "Does Ms. Lovell have a family?"If someone was buried in their hometown, it should mean their family was around. However, there were no flowers on her gravestone on her death anniversary.Even though Sean didn't end up becoming their son-in-law, he should've paid a visit to Ginger.It had been hours since he arrived at the village. Considering how small the village was, the villagers should've heard of his arrival by now.Reginald let out a heavy sigh. "Ms. Lovell had an ill-fated life. She barely got out of the mountains and had a bright future ahead, yet she passed away in an accident. "Her family, who were informed and rushed over to collect her body, ended up falling off the cliff, too. Because her younger brother was in distress and drove the car too fast.""The whole family passed away?"He nodded. "Yes, in that horrible fall. Ms. Lovell's sister-in-law was still alive because sh
Sean would visit Ginger's gravestone on her death anniversary. His feelings for her never changed. "Gigi, this will be my last visit. I won't dwell on the past anymore. If you're somewhere up there, I'm sure you'd be happy to hear this—I've gotten over it." His finger caressed the picture on the gravestone. Tears were pooling in his eyes. "I'm really sorry for what happened that year."Had it not been for him, the Lovell family wouldn't have died.The yarrows danced, and the apricot blossom trees swayed along with the wind like dancers tuning in the beautiful nature.Olivia noticed an old lady working in the field.Standing in the sea of flowers, the old lady stared at Sean. She caught Olivia's gaze and frantically shifted her eyes away to continue working.Olivia narrowed her eyes. She informed Willow of something before walking to the old lady.Olivia noticed that the old lady was tearing up. The old lady knew Sean.The whole Lovell family was dead, and none of their rel
Olivia was wearing a mask with an ordinary look.But when she smiled, the sunlight reflected brilliance through her eyes, adding luster to her face.The way they shared eye contact under the sun was a nice picture to take in.Suddenly, a menacing gaze caught Olivia's attention. She looked back only to see that same old lady again. The latter was staring at their holding hands expressionlessly.Then, the old lady approached them. It was a surprise, considering how she ran away a while ago."Mr. Sean, are you here to visit Ginger again this year?"Sean withdrew his hand. "Yes. Long time no see, Mrs. Powell."Reginald brought out some gifts from the car. It seemed like they were old acquaintances.Claire Powell wiped her hands with her apron. "I've made something. The usual. It's getting dark. It's dangerous to travel right now. You can stop at my place for the night and leave tomorrow."Sean turned toward Olivia. "What do you think, Dr. Fordham? It's getting late."Olivia l
Olivia's eyes narrowed. "What's wrong, Mrs. Powell?"Claire picked up the pillow cover, flustered. "Just a normal day for an old granny."She quickly made the bed. "Here, Dr. Fordham. I'm cooking some meat, so I should get going."She left in haste. Olivia's eyes didn't leave her back.Right then, Ethan called Olivia. She scanned the area, making sure that there was no one else before answering the phone."Liv, I found something. The Lovells were dead a few years ago, but…" he drawled as though there was a twist to the story."But what?" she urged."There's a loophole. When Sean was undergoing surgery in the hospital, it was a distant relative who confirmed the Lovell's bodies. "That person vanished after the family was buried. "Ginger lived in Peach Village. The villagers put a lot of importance on weddings and funerals. If someone gets in trouble, the whole village will lend a hand. "For burials, it can only be done after the head of the village chooses a date for it. Th
Olivia's children had faith in her the most. Thus, Willow believed that Olivia had her reasons for acting so out of character.Sean was equally dubious as well, but he brushed it off since she always took care of him whenever they were out.He trusted her after spending time with her for a week. In addition to that, she had a daughter. Hence, he didn't look too much into her actions.Still, it was undeniable that their actions appeared intimate to others. Olivia secretly observed Claire, whose eyes flashed with something evil.Their eyes met, and Claire quickly shifted her gaze. As Olivia had expected, something was up with Claire.After dinner, the sky darkened, and the village became quiet. Crickets sang, and the dogs barked sometimes.After the meal, the bodyguards patrolled the area before getting into the cars for a break, leaving only two to watch the night.Olivia asked Claire to prepare warm water so that Sean could have a foot spa as usual, but the usual acupunc
Olivia waited for a few minutes and sneaked out of the room.Since Willow was wearing a bell, and they had no clue what was happening outside, Olivia let her stay in the room.Standing by the door, she could see the bodyguards on duty were sleeping. The same could be observed in the bodyguards in the cars.It was as though a witch had cast a spell to send everyone in this world to dreamland.Olivia made sure that the bodyguards were safe before tiptoeing to Sean's room.Whatever the fake Claire wanted to do could be related to him.Through the crevice by the rusted window, she could see Claire facing her back at her.As Olivia had expected, "Claire" removed her mask to reveal the beautiful face hidden beneath.To Olivia's surprise, it was Ginger!Ginger was still alive!Her tresses cascaded behind her white silk nightgown, which outlined her curves perfectly. Sean fell asleep due to the drug. She sat by the bed, her fingertips tracing his face while her eyes were teary.Ob
