When they were halfway through, Olivia tried to break free while Ethan wasn't paying attention. But the effects of the medicine made her dizzy and nauseous. She felt like the strength in her body had been sapped away. Ethan quickly helped her back into the bed. "Stop moving around, Liv."Olivia didn't have the strength to move even if she wanted to. As soon as she tried, her head would spin. She could only close her eyes to ease the discomfort. Chemotherapy took much longer compared to the usual intravenous injections. It wasn't until nightfall that the last bag was approaching its end.Ethan was with her the whole time. He was also uneasy. He was afraid that she would collapse before the medicine was fully administered. But although she was weak, Olivia had pulled through. She didn't dare to move in the slightest as she felt the familiar sensation. She couldn't even open her eyes because she was so dizzy. Ethan asked Keith, "Did the same thing happen when she went throug
Ethan had just fallen asleep when he heard the movement. He raised his head to see Olivia falling over and quickly wrapped his arms around her. "Are you okay, Liv?" Ethan's back was covered in a cold sweat despite already holding Olivia in his arms. Olivia's condition wasn't comparable to a regular person. Even a tiny fall could cause irreversible damage to her. Olivia's face was extremely pale. "I …" She had no energy to argue with Ethan. Even uttering a single word caused her major discomfort. It was like she was suffocating. "What's wrong? Are you thirsty or hungry? Let me know whatever you need." Olivia found it hard to speak up. "Get … Get me a female nurse."Ethan immediately understood and quickly brought her to the toilet. However, Olivia drove him out awkwardly, so he just waited by the door. He then gave Sharon a call to ask her to come over. Then, he proceeded to prepare breakfast for Olivia. Meanwhile, Olivia had exhausted all her strength after briefly w
Noticing his sudden pause, Olivia asked casually, "What's wrong?""It's nothing." Ethan's movement became even lighter. He didn't dare to use the slightest bit of force. Even so, her hair was still falling off. Ethan finally understood why Olivia chose to cut her hair short. He wasn't there with her in the past when she was at her most vulnerable. This time, he swore to be with her no matter what. He brushed his fingers gently through her hair and helped her into a jacket. Then, he carried her to a wheelchair and pushed her out of the room. He even asked someone to change the bedsheets before they left. It was in every woman's nature to want to be pretty. Ethan remembered that Olivia loved her long, glossy hair back when they were close. She would wear simple and elegant dresses and secure her hair with a hairpin. He remembered how smug she was when she told her she could pin her hair up with one hand. Olivia used to be talkative, but she barely ever spoke these days.
Sharon was standing a short distance away. She noticed the conflict and quickly came over to bring Olivia away. Before she left, she glared at Ethan disappointedly. She didn't understand why he would do something like that. The tension had barely eased a little, and he managed to make things uncomfortable so quickly. Brent approached Ethan and said, "Mr. Miller, you can't rush things. The more you rush, the more likely you'll get disappointing results."Ethan sighed. "I'm just afraid she doesn't have the will to live. I just want to give her a reason to live. "I thought seeing Connor would trigger her maternal instinct, but things didn't go according to plan.""Mr. Miller, you should stop trying. Mrs. Miller is already in a terrible state. You can't rile her up again. You should tell her about Master Connor next time.""I guess that's my only option."Ethan crouched down and lifted Erina up. Although he hated Marina, Erina was the only baby Kurt left behind. Because of th
Sharon wanted to try to talk Olivia out of it. Olivia waved her hand and said, "I want to rest. Don't let him come in. I don't want to see him.""... Alright."Sharon tucked Olivia in and left the room. Ethan was carrying Connor in his arms outside. Connor was still crying and looked very pitiful. "Dad, I want to see Mom," Connor said as he tugged on Ethan's collar.Connor was almost three years old. He was able to express himself clearly. He hadn't seen his mother in a long time. He couldn't understand why his mother, who used to hug him all the time, suddenly became so aggressive. He just wanted to be hugged. Ethan was carrying him with one hand. He felt bad for Connor, too. "Your mother is sick, so she can't hug you yet."Connor rolled his eyes around and asked, "She's sick? Like this?"He imitated the way he coughed when he had a cold.Ethan tapped him on the nose lightly and said, "Mom is very ill.""Take meds, get injection.""Okay. We'll get Mom some meds. Sh
Olivia responded mildly, "They must have been desperate. Why else would anyone steal flowers from the hospital?""There are just too many weirdos in the world. They don't even have basic morals. Rest well, Ms. Fordham." The head nurse closed the door and left. Oliva became drowsy after a while. She felt like she heard the door open but was too tired. So, she ignored it.She didn't notice the sound of footsteps. There were also some rustling sounds beside her, like someone was creeping around.Suddenly, she felt something being placed on her head. It wasn't a doctor?Olivia opened her eyes abruptly. She met the gaze of a set of bright, round eyes. The adorable little face was very close to her. Connor became embarrassed when he saw that Olivia had woken up. "Mom, wreath."Connor was trying to set the wreath straight, so his arms were still hanging mid-air. "It's you," Olivia murmured. Her gaze fell on the wreath he was holding. She was taken aback.She wondered if Conn
Connor was already grown up. His first reaction after getting slapped wasn't to cry. Instead, he felt lost. He didn't know what he did wrong. Why did Marina beat him? A handprint appeared on his face, and his right cheek became swollen. Marina's rage quickly dissipated, and she started to feel guilty. She drew him into her embrace and said, "Baby, did it hurt? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."She hated Olivia with every fiber of her being, but her mood quickly improved when she thought about Olivia's dwindling lifespan. A hint of joy flashed on her face. "That bitch is going to die soon. That's great! "Baby, we'll have your father with us again. You look so much like him, so you have to cozy up to him so he will treat us better."After everything she has been through, she became mentally unstable. She would change her mood abruptly. Her expressions were crazed. Connor feared her more and more. The fear was apparent in his eyes, and he was too scared to speak. Mina knoc
Mina had been with Marina for a few years, but she had never seen Marina in such a pitiful state.Marina kept sobbing. "I've already lost my parents and my home. I won't ever be able to stand again, either."I only have these two children. If you tell Ethan about this, he won't let me see the children ever again."Marina tugged at Mina's pants with great difficulty, pleading with all her might. Mina had no choice but to say, "I don't want to see this happening again."With that, she left with Connor in her arms. While she treated his swelling, she felt disbelief as well. How could a mother treat her son like that?"Does it hurt?"Connor simply shook his head without saying anything. Mina's heart broke when she saw how desolate he looked.Mina sighed. What a mess.When Olivia fell ill, the whole Miller family was thrown into chaos as well. Ethan returned to the small building while Harold sat under a cherry tree. Harold seemed to be mumbling something."Is Grandpa's illne
