Chapter 996
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
Chapter 997
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

The number of snakes surrounding them increased. Kelvin threw Krystal off his back. Before she could react to that, he pressed her head onto the ground abruptly.She was livid. "What are you—""Shut up!" He hushed her before pleading, "Please stop blowing the flute. She knows that she's wrong. She will not do it again. Stop those snakes from coming at us!"He lowered his voice, threatening Krystal, "If you don't wanna die, beg for mercy right now! Otherwise, we won't be able to get out of this village."The sound of snakes hissing echoed in the woods. Krystal had never witnessed such a sight before. She wasn't even wearing protective gear.The snakes didn't stop in their tracks. Kelvin grabbed her ponytail to press her head onto the ground again. "I am so sorry, miss. Please show us mercy. If your mother finds out about this, she won't be happy, will she?"As he had expected, the sound of the flute stopped as soon as he said that. The snakes ceased, too.Still, it gave t

"She did, but that was on the condition that Krystal didn't apologize. Krystal did apologize to Madam Wendy."Brent shook his head. "Do you think that it was a sincere apology?""I don't think so. If it really is Krystal's fault, what should we do?"Brent sighed. "She should take the responsibility herself. Tell her to apologize to Madam Wendy sincerely."He entered the room where the weak Ethan was resting. Ethan didn't know what happened out there.Brent greeted him as always when he entered the room, "Mr. Miller, it's me.""I know." Ethan could recognize the duo's footsteps. He wasn't as weak as Brent thought."How are you feeling today?" Ethan closed his eyes, frowning. "Bad. The headache is killing me."The marks on his face became lighter. He should be getting better because most of the poison was disposed of. Brent wondered, "Why is Mr. Miller's complexion looking bad?""Hold on. I'll call the doctor over.""Okay."Brent couldn't care less about Krystal's incident as he ran to
Chapter 1000
Ethan recalled the details of the dream involving Olivia. An idea flashed across his mind; if that wasn't a dream, it meant it happened in real life.In other words, the woman before him was Olivia!That sheer thought excited him.Meanwhile, Olivia was listening to his heartbeat with a stethoscope.She frowned while murmuring, "Why is his heartbeat so fast?"She covered the blanket over him and sat on the chair. Then, she took one of his arms. "Breathe normally. I'm going to feel your pulse."She had no clue that Ethan was in ecstasy.He began connecting all of the clues about why this famous doctor was able to rescue him in time unconditionally.She even sacrificed three night's sleep to give him medicine.The shriek he heard when he caught her was clearly Olivia's voice. He didn't mishear it!Then, why did he have such a dream?Perhaps she resorted to that method to check his body because he refused to let her check.The blurry image of a little girl seeped into his m
Chapter 1001
In the past, Ethan and Olivia would intertwine their fingers whenever they were in the heat of the moment.A person could change his face with a mask, face a change in the aura, and fake the glint in his gaze through practice.However, they could never change the size of their hands.How could Ethan forget about the feeling of holding Olivia's hand when he had held it so many times?Her hand fit in his so perfectly.Unlike the smooth skin before this, her hands grew calluses. She had it rough for the past few years.She suddenly shook his hand off.Guilt tinged his expression. "Sorry for crossing the line. I was thinking about my ex-wife."She stared at his face, realizing that there was no huge change in his expression. Even his eyes lost their sparks.She reckoned that it was simply her being paranoid. "It's alright.""What's happening to me?""It could be a side effect because of the heavy medicine dosage. I'll reduce the dosage from today onward and make new medicines.
Chapter 1002
Grabbing Ethan's hand, Olivia checked his wound only to realize that there was a long line of slits adorning it."I'm fine. I get hurt often. It's nothing." Unbothered, he withdrew his hand."Give me a second." She quickly brought a medical kit over to stop the bleeding. "Alright. Make sure the wound stays away from water these two days. I'll help you to the bed.""It's alright. You don't have to." He shoved her away before dragging his body toward the bed.Although he wanted to stay close to her, she was too smart for him to do that. It would take a single mistake for her to find out about it. Hence, he could only control his impulsive thoughts by pretending that they were strangers and distancing himself from her.Frowning, Olivia said, "There's no man or woman here but a doctor and a patient. If you insist on distancing yourself from me, I won't care about the poison in your body anymore."Ethan hung his head low. "Sorry."She brought over another bowl of porridge. "If yo
