Chapter 1006
Olivia tied the belt into a knot with quick movements. “Done.”
Then, she pulled it to lead him to the animal’s skin so that he could lie
down.
‘Rest up. You can eat later to replenish.”
Judging from how the cave was filled with necessities, he figured that she frequently lived here.
He thought, “Did she recover from her illness here? How did she raise
the kid alone all this time?”
There were so many questions in his head, but he didn’t dare to rush
his plans.
One day, the mystery would be solved.
Not long after he lay down, he heard the sound of a bell ringing.
He held his breath. It was Willow!
Although he didn’t know her birthdate yet, he had already seen her as
his daughter.
He didn’t move, and the sound of the bell got louder and louder. In the end, it stopped right next to him.
Then, she caressed his face.
His heart raced as he thought, “She already knows that I’m her father,
right?”
Ethan didn’t want to interrupt such a wonderful moment.
Soon, Willow withdrew her hand. It seemed like she had gone to Olivia’s side.
“Are you hungry?” Olivia lowered her voice, which was quite similar to her original voice.
Willow made a gesture, eliciting a soft chuckle from Olivia.
Olivia said, “Okay. You prepare the ingredients. I’ll teach you how to make candies later.”
The sound of the bell ringing disappeared, but Willow sounded happy.
Suddenly, Ethan sensed something getting closer to him. It wasn’t a
person.
An animal seemed to be sniffing his hand. His heart surged up to his
throat as he wondered if it was a beast.
Olivia reassured him, “Relax. It’s a baby deer.”
“There are deers?”
“Yeah. There’s a stream nearby. A lot of little animals would come
over for a drink.”
“Are there wild beasts around here?”
A scene flashed across her mind. “There was, but not anymore.”
After the leopard died, all the beasts escaped deeper into the mountains. They never appeared before Olivia again..
Ethan, who didn’t know the reason behind it, found it amusing.
Animals were spiritual beings.
When he was out in the wild, little animals could sense the murderous
aura around him and distanced themselves from him.
Unlike the baby deer, which even licked his hand! It was weird.
The sound of the bell ringing came closer. Olivia had prepared the ingredients for making candies.
The smell of burnt marshmallows wafted into Ethan’s nose.
Willow slid one candy onto his hand.
“Is this for me?” he asked.
She answered the question by ringing her bell.
He stroked her head. “Thank you.”
Willow was happy. Noticing that he wasn’t going to eat it, she patted
the back of his hand.
It was a distinct conversation between a visually impaired person and
a dumb.
Olivia couldn’t bring herself to let them be as she urged, “Willow is asking you to eat it. It’s freshly made.”
“Can I eat candies?”
“It won’t hurt to eat one or two.”
Ethan ate it. Sweetness and sourness filled his mouth, reminding him
of the past.
A long time ago, before he went out, he asked, “Liv, is present you want?”
Olivia replied, “Fruits.”
He tapped the tip of her nose. “Okay”
Then, he brought home a bunch of fresh fruits.
Wearing an apron, she promised him that she would make him candies. In the end, the kitchen turned into a mess instead.
The candy syrup was black in color and tasted bitter.
She held the failed product in disappointment, and yet, he took a
candy.
A smile adorned his l*ps. “It’s sweet.”
Likewise, it reminded Olivia of the past too. The expression on
Ethan’s face was the same as before!
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 …
