Ethan washed up and got changed before rushing to the hospital.He asked before entering the room. "How is she doing?"Kelvin quickly responded, "It's weird. Mrs. Miller didn't throw a tantrum and even asked to have an extra meal.""Did she say anything?""She asked about the other men's condition and how many enemies we captured. She also asked if Warren was one of them. She seemed calm the whole time.""What did you answer?""I told her the truth, that Warren escaped. The other people were under strict interrogations. She didn't say anything after that. She said that she was tired and needed some rest."Kelvin scratched his head before continuing, "Mr. Miller, what's up with Mrs. Miller? The way she's acting right now kinda scares me. She's too calm about it, so calm that it sends chills down my spine.""It looks like she didn't lie to me." Initially, Ethan was worried that Olivia was trying to distract him to commit suicide. Fortunately, she had figured it out.He entered

"Liv, I'm not trying to side with whoever. But this is not the Toxic Hive's way of doing things. "If Leia really wants you dead, it's highly possible that she will find a way to drug you. Would she have chosen this method?"As you know, the head of Toxic Hive is Helen. After Mr. Carlton passed away, she brought the Toxic Hive out of Aldenvine, including Leia. It has been months since they left." Ethan held Olivia's hand.With a gentle expression, he said, "The person who bought off The Black Ravens is not only rich, but he knows the way to contact them. "He's decisive and simple with his way of doing things. He's ruthless. Liv, did you think about who you have offended?"She shook her head. "You know my past very well. I got married and was pregnant before I graduated from university. Who could I possibly offend?"Not to mention that it's a powerful fellow that can spend 100 million dollars so easily to put a bounty on my head."He frowned. "I suspect that it has something to

Olivia's eyes were neither calm nor clear; they were teeming with madness and obsession.What kind of place Volt Peak Mountain was? It was called the Isle of Death in the line of industry. It was a secret base to train special agents, as well as a very dangerous place.What kind of people were there?They were either orphans or people who lost their families—in short, they were alone.The majority of them were sent there for training when they were young. Of course, there were grown-ups like Olivia, too. They shared a similar background, too.It was no wonder that Ethan reacted that way. Her rash decision would result in her death."Shake that idea off your mind, Liv. You have always wanted to set up a hospital for the citizens. Even if Marina changed its name, this hospital is still operating. "The medical staff we have here are skillful doctors from within the country and abroad. I've also established a foundation to help out poor people. "Over 100 people are benefiting f

Drizzle began falling from the somber sky.The candle flame danced along to the cold breeze.Olivia wiped the raindrop off her face, muttering, "Mona, is that you?"Two drops of rain landed beneath Mona's eyes on the picture, making it seem as though she was crying.It broke Olivia's heart to see that.She caressed the gravestone. "Don't worry, Mona. I will take good care of your family. They are my family from now onward. "Please rest in peace. In your next life … Find a better person in your next life."The drizzle showered the whole village after the funeral.Instead of leaving immediately, she went to Mona's old residence.It had been a while since Mona's family moved to a big city. They would only return to their hometown during festive days like New Year's, so the house was usually empty. The house seemed to be shabby. The apple tree and grapevine trellis stood in the rain, seeped with loneliness.Olivia stood below the grapevine trellis. She could imagine an adorab

Baffled, Olivia looked at Penny. Wrinkles adorned Penny's face, and her eyes were murky.Her wrinkle-surrounded mouth was shaking due to vehement emotions."Mrs. Durst, are you speaking to me?""Yes, you!" The excited older woman held Olivia's hand, rubbing her rough hands against the back of Olivia's hand so much that it stung.Penny's reaction took Olivia aback. They didn't know each other, but why was Penny getting so excited?"Mrs. Durst, did you get the wrong person?""How could I possibly get the wrong person? Miss, I've never expected myself to be able to meet you again. You look exactly the same as you were that year! You barely changed."Penny sized her up. "No, you seemed skinnier. Something's different about your face, too."Megan quickly said, "I think you got the wrong person. Olivia has never come to this village before. This is her first visit.""Olivia?" Penny circled Olivia while pointing at her at times. "Something's off. You're taller and skinnier than her.

She could barely remember her name, but such etiquette was still etched deep in Penny's bones."Madam, make yourself at home. Let's talk inside."Olivia scanned the area casually. It was her first time coming to this loft.Ethan pointed at a nearby guest room. "I asked Madam Burgess to clean that room. Mrs. Durst can stay there for the moment. If she lives under the same roof with you, she might be able to remember sooner.""Okay.""Let her get used to the place for a few days. I'll ask someone to give her a thorough medical checkup after that.""Thanks." Olivia had been giving him an aloof attitude as though they were neighbors.Ethan sighed helplessly, knowing that this would last for a while."You should get some rest, Liv. You're not fully recovered yet. From today onward, I'll ask someone to come over to treat your hand. "As for your father, there's a medical team checking on him 24/7. Don't worry, nothing will happen."Olivia couldn't pick any fault out of his arrangem

Ethan's brows furrowed tightly. "Which city?""Mrs. Durst can't remember. She said that she wandered along the streets all the way from her hometown. She didn't have a place to go in mind. "She followed others wandering around. I heard that her city was close to the sea.""The country was tangled with wars over 60 years ago. Every military troop attacked everywhere to claim territories. There were countless bandits, too. "The people formed organizations themselves to make riots. That period was chaotic. The place names kept changing. This alone won't be able to get us to the right place.""It's alright. Take your time. I am happy enough to be able to meet Mrs. Durst. It can be considered as a guide from God. Who knows? She might be able to recall more things one day.""Liv, it is true that we have leads. But you have to be mentally prepared. Even if you resemble Ms. Nat—the person Mrs. Durst served—it is possible that this is a mere coincidence. "It's common for people to loo

Ethan reclined on the leather couch, slightly raising his head.He looked exhausted. Judging from his shut eyes, he seemed to be asleep.Olivia spared him a glance, and she didn't wake him up. She sat opposite him silently instead, casually taking a programming book.It was only when a cold wind came through the window that Ethan slowly woke up.Gazing at the cold scenery, he reckoned that it was going to snow soon.The light in the room was brightly lit, contradicting the somber sky outside.There were fresh flowers, which were brought over this morning, placed on the table. They were trimmed into lovely and graceful arrangements, giving off a faint, fresh scent.The apartment finally felt like home.However, no matter how wholesome the interior design was, it couldn't mend the relationship between Ethan and Olivia.Previously, only the weather outside would be described as cold; now, their relationship itself had turned cold, too.Back in the past, she would definitely
