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
Even after a long while of questioning, Ethan couldn't get any information from Harold.Based on the information he had gathered, Ms. Nat must have been a fugitive who had escaped to Arlandia. She had also used a fake identity and name. Then, she disappeared during the chaos later on.Ethan was exasperated. There was still no news of Colin. If this went on, only death awaited Olivia. The only difference was whether she would die sooner rather than later.Still, the past few days weren't completely fruitless. When he went back to the shed, Darrell was barely hanging on. His whole body was drenched in blood.By the looks of it, Kelvin didn't hold back so that he could get even the tiniest bit of information from Darrell."Mr. Miller, Darrell said that he had known Rubus for two to three years by now. They had never met in person, but Rubus helped him out a few times before."Those few times are related to the purchase of the Miller Group's shares."Ethan said, "No wonder Dar
After staying in the hospital for a week, Olivia was discharged. She had been recovering for a week. So now, she could get out of bed and walk around on her own.Still, her red blood cells and white blood cells had very low counts. She would feel dizzy every day, and she was still extremely weak.But it was already great news to her that she could leave the hospital.When Olivia returned to the Miller residence, Sharon spoke as she moved Olivia's wheelchair."Mrs. Miller, Mr. Miller has prepared a room for you on the first floor. You can go out into the yard from there. Just concentrate on recuperating. I'm sure you'll get better in the future.""Alright."Ethan was probably worried that he might stimulate her, so he never appeared in front of her in recent days.But Olivia knew that most of the time, he waited until she was asleep to sneak in and watch over her. When she woke up, he would leave quietly.Olivia didn't understand why he would do that. He had his wife and child
