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 b*dy 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 b*dy anymore.”
Ethan hung his head low. “Sorry.”
She brought over another bowl of porridge. “If you wanna get better
soon, do as I say.”
“Sorry for the trouble,” he apologized again.
Olivia looked at the man, who was hanging his head low like a child al
fault.
In the past, Ethan had always been on the top with dominating power. When did he ever act this way?
She let out a silent sigh. “It’s alright. I understand. Have some chicken soup. It took me long to make it.
She was stunned for a moment at what she had said. In fact, there was no need for her to add the final sentence.
It made it seem as if she genuinely cared for him.
Some things were ingrained in her very bones as habits before she realized it. She still practiced that after so many years had passed.
“I’ve added some herbs so that you’ll feel better soon,” she added.
“Thank you.”
Olivia fed him as silence dawned upon them. The atmosphere could never be any more wholesome than it was right now.
On the day she left his side, she had thought of avoiding him for the rest of her life. She didn’t want to see him forever.
When she had free time, she would imagine how their reunion would
be if it were inevitable.
Everything that was happening right now was beyond her imagination.
Ethan turned from a cold person into an obedient person. He put up
with the discomfort of interacting closely with others.
Whether she was feeding h
cooperation. He didn’t cause her toglie
Perhaps he was trying his best to get back to his feet 5008
Since Ethan felt very uncomfortable joday, Olivie had to stay to
observe him.
That way, she could decide whether to add, reduce, or change the ingredients for his medicine.
There were still poisonous remnants in his b*dy, so she couldn’t afford to be careless.
She thought, “The heavy dosage of medicine could be the reason for him feeling uncomfortable,
“But if I reduce the medicine, it might not be enough to keep the poison under control. I guess I should use the traditional way.”
“Let’s go. We can continue it in the cave. This is the only way to minimize the side effects, as well as the fastest way to remove the
poison from you,”
“I’ll do as you say,”
Ethan asked for Brent to prepare to return to the cave.
Right then, Kelvin barged into the room and bowed at Olivia.
“Miss, please ch*ck on Krystal. I know her bitchy attitude has offended you, but she’s gravely ill right now. If something happens to
her, I’ll be doomed!”
He had the nerve to speak ill of Krystal only when she was not around.
A cold glint flashed across Olivia’s eyes as she
of background Krystal had.
Kelvin and Brent were afraid of Krystal.
Krystal’s family was considered as a family with a middle income in
Aldenvine. Supposedly, they weren’t someone to gain this much
respect from the duo.
Only then did Ethan ask indifferently, “What happened to her?”
“Mr. Miller, she ran away angrily after you said those words yesterday. Then, I brought her back, and she fell sick. She couldn’t even get out
of the bed.”
Kelvin didn’t dare to mention Willow’s incident in front of Olivia.
Ethan frowned. “Ask someone to send her back to Aldenvine.
Someone will treat her there.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
