Keith continued coaxing her, "Olivia, you have to pull yourself together. Don't get affected by this incident. You have to take care of your health.""I know, Keith."Now, her desire to live was stronger than it had ever been. She refused to just be led by the nose and be manipulated time and again.Her mind was filled with images of Mona's face and Snowball's dead body.She wouldn't let that person have their way."Keith, let's proceed with our plans after this.""Alright."The Miller family was thrown into chaos after Olivia's incident. All the household staff stood in a row with their heads bowed.Snowball's autopsy report was released. Snowball was found to have died from a potent toxin. Before it died, the toxin had affected its nerves, and that was why it had fallen off the roof and died.Its cause of death was poisoning.An old cat like Snowball wouldn't eat random stuff. There were some undigested pieces of dried fish in its stomach. After some testing, it was found t

After what happened with Snowball, Olivia was deeply shocked. Since then, she had been drained of all energy, and the positive changes from before were completely gone.Ethan was anxious when he saw that, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't endure the pain in Olivia's stead, be it physical or mental pain.Olivia was getting weaker by the day, and there was still no news of Colin. Ethan was anxious and panicking.On top of that, Olivia also refused to see Ethan. He could only check in on her by looking through the glass outside the door and asking the doctor about her.These days, Olivia would just lie in bed and wipe her tears most of the time. Sharon and Janice took turns to persuade her, but it wasn't very effective.She was suffering from a mental illness, so even the best doctors couldn't cure it.Janice patted Ethan on the shoulder. "Mental illnesses require mental healing. Olivia has lost her will to live. You should mentally prepare yourself."Everyone told

Connor had no idea how long Olivia had cried because of those words.It was a candlelit dinner. Ethan lit the candles for Connor.Olivia and Ethan sang the birthday song for Connor together. Connor clasped his hands together, earnestly making a wish."What wish did you make?" Olivia asked discreetly.Connor smiled. "It won't come true if I say it."He wished that Olivia would get better soon and that she and Ethan would always be by his side.The candlelight flickered. Looking at Olivia's gentle face, Ethan wished that this moment would last forever.Connor was smiling happily, and Ethan was reminded of the day of his third birthday. Of course, his son wouldn't have a childhood like that. He would do his best to love Olivia and Connor.Olivia smiled very joyfully tonight. She allowed him to fool around and laughed with him.She even shared a bed with Ethan, which was a rare sight. Connor slept between the two.Olivia said, sighing, "If that child was still alive, would they b

With trembling hands, Ethan picked up the wedding ring and the letter. The act of opening a letter was so simple, but his hands kept trembling as if he had Parkinson's.Brent said in a low voice, "Mr. Miller, let me do it."It didn't matter that much whether he read the letter or not. Everyone had already guessed the ending.Still, Ethan took out the letter in terror and agony. The familiar handwriting came into sight.In the past, she would write him letters in secret when he was out on business trips. She didn't know the address, so she would put the words she wanted to say into a bottle and then bury it in the garden.After he discovered it by accident, every time he came back, the first thing he would do was to go to that secret hole and dig around to check if there was new mail.Back then, she wrote like an adorable teenage girl. But this letter was different. Not many words were written on it, but every stroke conveyed farewell."Ethan, it's too painful to live. I don't wa

In the Miller residence, the man on the bed moved his fingers. Then, he shouted, "Liv!"Opening his eyes, he sat up and looked around him in terror.Janice sighed in relief. "You're finally awake. You've been unconscious for three whole days."Ethan's memories were still stuck at the beach. He hastily asked, "Mom! Liv, did you find Liv?"Janice's heart ached. She didn't dare tell him the ending."Ethan, please prepare yourself for this. Olivia is … She is …""No, that can't be! Liv can't be dead!" Ethan couldn't accept the truth.He got out of bed bare-footed and then ran outside the door."Liv, where are you? Are you avoiding me? Liv, stop hiding!"Ethan searched the place, feeling desperate and lost. He walked into the bedroom on the first floor. Everything in the room remained the same as when Olivia left.The clean bedding was neatly folded. The flowers in the vase were the ones picked from the yard a week ago. The flowers had wilted, their heads drooping as if life had b

Once again, Ethan went back to the sea. Kelvin and Brent looked exhausted. They had shifts, but they hadn't rested much in the past few days. There were dark circles under their eyes.They were all too aware of how important Olivia was to Ethan. They had added countless men to this operation, and they were using all their resources to look for Olivia.When they saw Ethan, they hastily went up to him. "Mr. Miller."Ethan's eyes were red. He was wearing a black suit, but he didn't look as upright as he used to be. He looked more haggard instead.When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse. "Did you find anything?"Brent shook his head. "Not for now. The area Mrs. Miller disappeared in is a little complicated. Back then, she encountered an offshore current, and she was brought far out to sea."The area over there happens to be a fault zone, and it's more than 300 feet deep. The visibility isn't too great either, so it's more difficult to salvage anything there."Ethan clenched his

Ethan glanced at the stars in the sky. A helpless smile appeared on his face."Even if she didn't die and I brought her back after finding her, history is only going to repeat itself. I'll only be making her sad again."If I let her stay with me, she'll be like flowers in a vase, which will wilt in no time. Perhaps … she'll live a better life if I let her go."Kelvin and Brent were in disbelief when they heard Ethan saying those words."Mr. Miller, are you truly willing to let Mrs. Miller go?""In the past, I always wanted her to stay with me. But accidents kept happening, and Liv now hates me to the core. If this is what she truly wants, then I'll let her have her way."Ethan sighed."Those are all my speculations, and I don't have any evidence to back them up. For now, verify if she's still alive. Check her phone location and Keith's movements in the past week. Remember, don't alert them.""Understood, Mr. Miller.""Would you like to go back first?"Ethan shook his head. "I

Brent said, "I feel like you've changed, Mr. Miller.""In the past, I always thought that my arrangements were the best decisions for her. But in reality, I've hurt her time and again. Moreover, it's not a bad thing for Liv to fake her death."She can fool me and also her enemy, so this can indeed be the safest route for her. She doesn't have to constantly worry about being assassinated."Brent said, "So, Mr. Miller, other than putting on this act to deceive Mrs. Miller, you're also trying to fool the enemy.""Only then can we have more time to investigate. This is the time when that person will let down their guard. But before that, I have something to do.""What is it?""I have to clear some obstacles."News of Olivia dying from her incurable disease quickly spread. Olivia's funeral was held tonight, and almost everyone from the upper-class society attended it.Janice's eyes were red. She quite liked this daughter-in-law of hers, but sadly, Olivia passed away too early.Haro
