Krystal was dumbfounded. Why wasn't she playing by the rules?"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think you're in a TV show?" Wendy mocked."Get lost. Don't make a mess of my place!" she yelled as she covered Willow's eyes with her hand. "Don't look at her. You'll soil your eyes."Krystal returned to the room, drenched from head to toe. She cursed aloud, "Who does that weird old hag think she is? She could've just said she wasn't going to help! What did she pour all over me anyway? Why does it stink so much?"Kelvin pinched his nose and backed away. "Stay away, Krystal. I think that's probably urine that has been stored for a long time. I'm sure you wouldn't want Mr. Miller to faint from the stench."Krystal was almost in tears. "Urine? How could she pour urine on me?"Joel sighed. "If I remember correctly, urine is used to ward off the evil spirits here.""But I'm a living and breathing human being. Why would she use urine to drive me away?""It's all because you

Chris said, "Young lady, can you save her?"Willow shook her head. She signaled with her hand.Chris guessed. "Are you saying that you can't, but someone else can?"Willow nodded. "Who is it? Is it Madam Wendy?"Willow shook her head.This time, Chris understood Willow's hand signs. "Are you saying that the person is your mother?" Willow nodded. Chris' eyes lit up. He quickly asked, "Where is your mother now?"Willow made another sign. "Are you saying that she's gone somewhere far away, and you don't know when she'll be back? This won't do. Mr. Miller only has one day left. "Willow, do you have a way to make him live longer so we can wait until your mother returns?"Willow looked at Ethan. The latter's hearing was also affected by the venom. There was a delay in his hearing. He could only hear what Chris was saying after several seconds. He felt all his senses slowly fading away and was sure he was beyond help. He held Willow's hand as he waited for death to

Willow pursed her lips, not saying anything. Reaching out, Wendy caressed her head. "Poor child. You know, your mom worked very hard to be able to leave him."If he knows that you and your mom are still alive, he will lock your mom up again. Do you want that to happen?"Willow shook her head."Then you have to pretend that you don't know him. After all, your mom and the others aren't in the village. As for whether he can survive this or not, it's entirely up to him."Wendy sighed. "Your mom went through a lot of hardship in the past. When she was giving birth to you, she was very close to death. You have to be grateful to her and treasure your hard-earned life."Willow nodded obediently.It was quite odd. Not long after drinking Willow's blood, Ethan could sense that his eyes and ears were getting better. He could even produce simple sounds.In the past, for every hour that passed, the red pattern would advance. After he drank the blood, the toxin seemed to be frozen in

Willow's eyes were extremely clear. It reminded Ethan of when he first met Olivia more than a decade ago. Back then, he was wondering how a person's eyes could be this clear.The thought only stayed in his mind for a second, and it quickly disappeared.Many people looked alike in this world. The woman who assassinated him looked quite similar to Olivia, too.Moreover, his Alicia must be five or six years old now. How could Olivia give birth to a child with green eyes?He must have missed Olivia so much that he started seeing things.Ethan knew that there were lines on his face. The girl was probably scared of it.So, he put on a gentle expression as he said, "Willow, you're the one who saved me, right? Thank you."Willow shook her head, but she didn't let go of his hand. She feared that if she let go, Ethan would fall."You can't speak?"Willow nodded.For some reason, Ethan felt his heart ache for her. Reaching out, he touched her face. "I can take you away from here. I
Chapter 975
In just two days, Ethan turned from a normal person into someone whose organs were affected and who was slowly losing his senses. In that period, he thought about many things.The most he thought about were his memories with Olivia. In the three years they were apart, he couldn't see her, so he could only press forward with the memories.He was busy with various things every day, and he used his busyness to dilute his love for Olivia.But every time he was free, his longing would take him by surprise. It filled his mind and every inch of his heart. Like thorny vines, it wrapped tightly around him.The more he struggled against it, the more his heart ached.His body was pierced so much that it was filled with wounds. He was in excruciating pain.So, when he was in physical pain, he even felt a little better. He thought that if he died, he would travel to Olivia's side and see her one last time.Back then, Olivia was suffering from the terror of her cancer cells. He wondered

Ethan hadn't eaten in two days.Oddly enough, the cucumber-like fruit exuded a faint fragrance that helped him regain some appetite.He took a few bites of it. It was juicy, and the juice was refreshing and sweet. Everywhere the juice landed on felt a little rejuvenating, and his pain was relieved a lot."Is this medicine?" he asked Willow.Willow nodded. Then, she gave him more produce he had never seen before. He wasn't even sure if they were fruits or vegetables.Ethan hastily ate them. They couldn't rid him of the toxins, but they did replenish some of his energy. His body got a little better."Thank you, Willow." He reached out again, caressing Willow's head. He couldn't help but say, "I wonder who your parents are to have given birth to such a caring and adorable child as you."Willow blinked as she looked at him. Alicia looked a lot like him, so Willow wondered if he was her father.Willow was deep in thought when Ethan removed his hand from her head. "Sorry. I d

"Willow, are you crying?" Ethan asked.He suddenly chuckled. He was so foolish. Willow couldn't speak, and he was turning blind very soon."What time is it? Sorry, I can't see very well anymore."Willow took his hand and traced the number six in his palm."Almost six, hm? Time flies." Ethan sighed lightly.He could feel that he had almost spent all his energy on staying up."Kelvin," he called.Kelvin had also stayed up the whole night. His eyes were even redder now."I'm here, Mr. Miller." There was a sobbing tone in his voice.Ethan chuckled. "You're a man. Why are you crying? I've already told you on the first day that life and death are predestined.""I know, but … but I've never thought that it would be you, Mr. Miller …"Everyone standing here was prepared to take bullets for Ethan and die for his sake.If death were to come knocking, they were sure that they would die before Ethan did. No one expected that Ethan would be poisoned while he was unguarded and that he

Brent had specially selected a spot under a tree for Ethan so Ethan could lean against the trunk for support.Ethan was visibly weak now. He was like a candle with wax slowly dripping from it. When the last drop of wax was spent, that was when the light would go out.The mountain breeze picked up. Ethan felt his mind becoming a little clearer.He spoke slowly. "Brent, the thing I regretted the most in my life was agreeing to Marina's unreasonable requests and taking out my anger toward the Fordhams on Liv."If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have suffered so much. "We wouldn't have to be separated from each other, and our family wouldn't have to be apart. It can't even be called a family at this point."Brent said, "Mr. Miller, you had your reasons. Please don't say that.""Hah, reasons. In the past, I deceived everyone with that excuse, including myself. But no one would hurt others just because they had reasons."Ethan said softly, "When I was a child, I hated my father.
