Olivia couldn't comprehend the situation.She initially thought that Ethan would listen to her and let her check on him. She couldn't understand how he wanted a kiss as soon as they met.Besides, the kiss tasted bitter because Brent fed him medicine yesterday. She couldn't take it!She felt that she had dug her own grave for some reason."Ethan Miller, let go of me!"He hugged her like a koala, not wanting to release her. "Do you know how long I've been searching for you, Liv? I miss you every night and day. I was such a fool. Had I known that you'd go missing, I wouldn't have let you go."Olivia was stunned. It was no wonder that it was a smooth escape.Those people were hot on her heels the moment she escaped. Ethan was aware of her plan the whole time.If he wanted to stop her, he could've ruined her plans from the beginning."Why did you choose to let me go?""Because I've done so many despicable things to you. I wanted to make up for them," Ethan blurted the truth, bel
It took up so much of Olivia's will for her to shift her gaze away from Ethan's abs. She began the checkup seriously and took out a stethoscope to listen to his heartbeat."What is this, Liv? It's cold," he muttered. "Why does this dream feel so real?""Stop talking," she hushed him, not wanting to waste the time explaining it to him.After that, she checked on his eyes. His orbs were lifeless, so she couldn't diagnose anything from them.The only thing she could do was to detox him so that he could check his eyes at a hospital.Once the detox was over, his other organs would recover slowly.Meanwhile, Ethan hurriedly zipped his lips. Even though it was a dream to him, he wished she could stay a second longer. That way, there would at least be more memories he could look back on."Turn around.""Okay."After a meticulous check, she deemed that the effort she spent over the last two days was worth it.The most important factor was that he was healthier than an average pe
Olivia thought about her newlywed days. Ethan had always been a reticent man. Even if he mustered all his strength on the bed, his expression seldom showed much change. Let alone the times he expressed his emotions aloud.If he had not made it impossible for her to walk the next day every time they had sex, she would've doubted his feelings for her.He bottled everything up, not wanting anyone to read his emotions.And after years of ups and downs, it seemed that their positions had changed.Olivia kept all her feelings to herself while Ethan became the pitiful party.He never hid his feelings anymore.Like a loving and passionate dog, he knew where her sensitive parts were.His wet lips traced downward along her neck, leaving wet marks. "Liv, I miss you. I miss you so much that I'm going crazy."Meanwhile, she thought, "Brent's gonna be back soon. If he sees me under Ethan, he's gonna throw a ruckus for sure."An idea flashed across her mind. She softened her voice. "I mi
A helpless Brent answered, "Mr. Miller, it's me."Ethan reached out to touch him. "Where's Liv?""It must be a dream again?""A dream?" Ethan frowned.The dream felt too real for him. It was so real that he could feel Olivia's skin and temperature. He thought he could still hear her voice ringing in his ears."Yeah. I'm afraid Mrs. Miller is still somewhere far away from here. Why would she appear here?"Ethan's heart sunk to the pit of his stomach.It wasn't easy for him to finally look for her, and yet it turned out to be a dream.He lowered his head, letting out a bitter smile. "You're right. Why would I be able to see her?"Olivia's icy voice spoke. "You're awake. Eat something."Only then did he realize that Brent wasn't alone. The doctor was present, too.He wondered if he had said something while sleeping. "Was she here the whole time?"Brent quickly replied, "No. Vanessa was outside the whole time. She entered the room with me a while ago. What's the matter?""
Brent explained, "She's a famous doctor, not a country bumpkin. You're not wearing a mask, so it's not weird that she recognizes you, Mr. Miller."Ethan's brows slightly creased. "Is that so?""Yeah. It could be because famous doctors have a certain ego. But she did her best to detox you," Kelvin added.Ethan couldn't put a finger on it. He kept feeling that the doctor treated him differently from others.Perhaps he was overthinking it.Noticing that he was still alive, Krystal threw herself at him with reddened eyes. "Sova, I was worried sick about you."Ethan trusted his guts and shifted to the other side, dodging her hug. "I'm fine. Sorry for keeping you waiting. I still have to stay for treatment. You should go back home."She gaped in surprise. She jumped through hoops to get there. Yet, the first thing he said was a request for her to leave. "Sova, I wanna look after you. You can't see. I've applied for a leave. Don't worry about it.""It's fine. I have Kelvin and Bre
Olivia's cold gaze swept across everyone. "I don't care who you are. But since you're in the village, you gotta abide by the rules here. Otherwise, get out of here.""Stop it, brat! This is not Aldenvine. Besides, didn't you say that you wanna save Sova? "Are you going to offend the only doctor that can save him?" Joel managed to keep Krystal's temper under control.The reluctant Krystal approached Wendy unwillingly for Ethan's sake. "Madam Wendy, it was all my fault. I was on edge these days because Sova was poisoned. I hope you can forgive me."Wendy was an old woman in her 80s. She wouldn't take a young brat's words to heart at all.She merely shot a cold glance at Krystal. "Know your place."Olivia held Wendy and left without sparing the others a glance.Krystal glared at the back of Olivia's head, touching her red cheeks.No one had ever done that to her before!The glint in her eyes scared Joel. Krystal was no ordinary person, after all.They brought her along this
Resting against the edge of the spring, Olivia caressed Willow's head and flashed a warm smile. "Good girl. I'll be sleeping for a moment."Willow nodded before pecking her mother's cheek.Some butterflies danced around them. If they had a camera, it would have been a scene enchanting enough to be commemorated with a picture.Olivia was so tired because she had spent several white nights, so she fell asleep by the spring. Her tress was left flowing over her shoulders. Without the mask covering her face, her skin appeared crystal clear. She became prettier than before.As the good girl she was, Willow didn't disturb Olivia. Willow was harvesting herbs nearby.The little animals seemed to like her very much. Even the little dear, who often visited the place, would sit before her to let her brush it.The day seemed simple and wonderful.Ethan was weak to begin with. The worst thing was that his eyesight had yet to recover. It rendered it difficult to stay in a foreign place
Everything in Krystal's life went well, bar one—love.The moment Ethan saved her, she swore to herself that she must marry him when she grew up.She didn't have a rough childhood growing up. Everyone paid respect to her. Even if she wished for a star or the moon, there would be someone getting them for her.Yet, she was slapped by another woman! Krystal thought, "So what if she's a doctor? She's so ugly. She's not even as pretty as my toes."She ran to the river, looking at her reflection. Judging from how Olivia didn't hold herself back, Krystal bet that her cheeks were swollen.Today, Krystal vowed to make Olivia pay back in multiple folds.She was so immersed in her reflection that she didn't sense the impending danger.Kelvin suddenly pulled her backward. "Be careful!"Before she could register the situation, she saw a snake jumping out of the water. It revealed its sharp teeth, trying to bite her leg.She was so surprised that words couldn't come out of her. Had it
