Brent had a stern look on his face. "Now that Mr. Miller's identity is exposed, the various forces that had grudges against him would pounce on him like hungry wolves to get revenge."The incident last night is one example. The organization behind those people was the central figure in Shadow Valley ten years ago. "They sent suicide squads who weren't afraid of death and were trying to drag Mr. Miller down even if it cost them their lives."When Olivia heard that, she felt some lingering fear. "Then he's in great danger now, right?""It's relatively safe here, but as soon as he leaves the military area, there will be danger everywhere. Also, I found out on the dark web that someone had posted an anonymous bounty for Mr. Miller."If anyone killed him, they would get a reward of 1 billion dollars. A high-reward bounty like that would usually attract private assassins and mercenaries. "After all, great rewards attract brave souls."As if he were an outsider, Ethan advised Olivi

Olivia earnestly learned from the nurse the procedures to change the dressings. Then, she waited until there were just the two of them in the room.It was only then that Olivia got mad. "You called me darling?""If I don't do that, she will keep pestering me."Olivia said coldly, "You have quite a lot of admirers."With that, she pulled the blanket away, revealing his back, which was wrapped in bandages.Ethan explained, "Liv, she only changed my dressings once, and it was on my arm. That was all.""We're already divorced, so I don't care what she wants to do to you, nor do I want to." As Olivia replied, she cut the bandages away.Even as she spoke, her actions were gentle. She feared that she might touch his wounds."Liv, ever since the start, you're the only person who has touched my body. No other woman has done it but you." Ethan sighed.Olivia wanted to mock him. But then, the wounds under the bandages were revealed without warning.She had guessed last night that it

Olivia was puzzled. "Explain that, please. I don't get it.""Let's put it this way. Kurt had been training with me since young, and because he looked similar to me, he was one of my body doubles. "We braved dangers together, but he sadly fell in love with Marina."He got Marina pregnant. And then, when we were out on a mission, he suffered a lethal attack in my stead."Before he died, he was worried about Marina, so he asked me to take good care of her and the children."With gratitude toward Kurt, I agreed to all of Marina's requests. Back then, I mistook the Fordhams' relationship with my sister."With the two incidents overlapping, I got revenge on the Fordhams while I took care of the pregnant Marina. That was why you thought I cheated on you."I didn't explain anything when you questioned me."Marina didn't want the children in her belly to grow up in a single-parent family, so she pleaded with me to give her a home."Olivia felt bitter in her heart. "So you gave it to h

Those were tears of happiness. Olivia was both overjoyed and overwhelmed. She didn't know what to say at all. Her mind was filled with images of Connor's adorable face.She had been too foolish. If she had known the truth, she would have spent more time with the child."Don't cry, Liv. I know it's all my fault."Olivia hit Ethan on the shoulder. "Of course, it's your fault."Even though she avoided his wounds, the impact still affected some of his wounds. Ethan seethed in pain.In the past, she kept fantasizing that Connor was her child. But now, it wasn't a fantasy anymore. Connor truly was her son.The good news took Olivia by surprise. She was right to have endured until this day.She finally had her good ending."Time and again, I compromised for Kurt's sake. Unexpectedly, when given an inch, Marina asked for a mile. "She had already used up all of Kurt's kindness, so I finally called off the marriage."Now, the most I can do is to let her live the rest of her life in peace. I w

Olivia's wig was getting messy from Ethan's rubbing. Ethan chuckled. "I like your previous hair better. It's soft and smells nice.""You're annoying." Olivia snorted. Then, she got up and finished applying the ointment to his back. After that, she bandaged him.She had a feeling that Ethan was planning something important, which was why he urgently wanted her to leave.They were already divorced, so he naturally wasn't obliged to report anything he wanted to do to her.Even though the child was alive, the hurt he had given her was real, too.To repay someone else's kindness, he had given her pain and suffering. This was quite unfair to Olivia.They wouldn't reconcile just because of the child. The only relationship they had was that they were the parents of their children.She would take care of Ethan for seven days to repay his kindness for saving her.But after that, they would go their separate ways. Olivia had a path she wanted to take as well.In the next few days, the ti

Ethan didn't even raise his head as Olivia fed him. He had complete faith in her.His action served as a reality check to Krystal. She felt like she was a joke.The duo had chemistry in them. When the fruit juice oozed out of the corner of his lips after he munched it, Olivia quickly wiped it away for him.After he finished, Olivia sat next to him to wait for him.When he was done reading, she suggested, "If you're fine with it, I can apply medicine for you."He hummed lightly in response.She headed to the restroom to bring over a basin of warm water and cloth.Only then did she speak to Krystal. "Ms. Heath, I have to apply medicine for him.""Sova's a guy. Don't tell me that he's bothered by others looking at his body." It was as if Krystal had swallowed a ball of flame. Ethan didn't eat the apple she cut, but he ate Olivia's instead!Krystal wondered what kind of spell Olivia had cast upon him.Ethan blurted, "I am bothered by that as long as the person looking is not my

It was only then that Olivia recalled the fact that Ethan hadn't showered for three days. She had been wiping his limbs with a cloth and nothing more.He was a man who showered every day back at home. He must be having a hard time putting up with it for so long.It was a normal request. There was nothing to be embarrassed about."I'll call Kelvin to come over to wipe your body. Your back must stay away from water.""Okay."Olivia made the phone call, and Kelvin sounded busy. The background noise over the line was loud, too. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Miller. Brent and I are busy. I'm afraid we can't come over these two days. "If you need anything, you can ask for it from the nurse. She'll bring you what you need."Now that he had put it that way, she didn't push him further and ended the call."I'll call two nurses over for you."Ethan suddenly pulled her over by grabbing her wrist. She almost fell over, but she managed to support herself.Thanks to the proximity, Ethan could see a few water

Olivia's face was as red as an apple.Although the couple had done something more intimate than this, it was her first time removing Ethan's pants. Not to mention, they were divorced, too.He appeared calm and was waiting for her patiently.Olivia mentally prepared herself. Taking a deep breath, she began moving her fingers.She closed her eyes and pulled his pants down. Following that, she hurriedly turned around to make sure the water temperature was right.By the time she turned around again, he already sat down with his legs slightly open.His muscles were so defined that they could drive any woman crazy.Yet, Ethan sat with his back straightened. He seemed so serious that having any distorted thoughts about him would be a sin."Thanks, Liv."What else could Olivia say?Although it was a decent place, it didn't provide a loofah.After drenching his body with water, she pumped some body shampoo onto her palm. She slid her hands down his body.The calluses on her hands
