Chapter 1007
Ethan looked in Olivia’s direction.
He couldn’t see because of the bandage, but her heart palpitated nevertheless.
She stood up to place the candies into a basket. Im going to bring some to Wendy. Could you look after him?”
Willow nodded, and Olivia left.
Willow sat next to Ethan while patting the baby deer’s head. Sometimes, it accidentally bumped into the man.
He had a feeling that they were playing around.
He should be happy about it, but he realized something-the candy he ate was made of apples that couldn’t be found in the area.
Where did they obtain apples from?
There was only one possibility-someone else brought it from outside the village!
“It must be Jack!” he thought.
So many years had passed. No one knew how Olivia was getting along with Jack.
While Ethan wasn’t by her side, another man was replacing his place.
Uneasiness crept into his heart.
Willow, who sensed his emotions, grabbed his hand to write a few
“Willow, I’m kinda bored here. Could you take me around the area?” He couldn’t say his concern aloud.
She knew that he had finished his medication for the day. Figuring that a light exercise would do good to him, she nodded.
She held his hand, becoming his guide.
Never in Ethan’s wildest dream had he imagined his interaction with his daughter to be this way.
Her little hand held his, giving him reassurance.
He held her hand carefully, not wanting to hurt her.
At that moment, he felt like he owned the whole world.
Power and authority couldn’t be compared with the feeling of holding Willow’s hand.
“Is the sun setting?”
The sound of the bell ringing was calm, which indicated a positive answer to that question.
“Where is your mother?” he questioned again. “My eyes suddenly hurt.”
As he had expected, Willow led Ethan to where Olivia was.
Since he couldn’t see, he walked along the rough road slowly. Still, he was anxious on the inside.
Anyone in his shoes would feel the same way. Who wouldn’t be
anxious when his wife was running away with another man?
Before he went close to Olivia, he could hear a man, thanks to his good hearing.
“Olivia, it’s been a while. Did you miss me?”
It was a foreign voice. If it wasn’t Jack, who could it be?
Judging from the way of speaking, Ethan could only think of a person.
He was confident that it was him.
Back when he first met Colin, the latter was just a young man with a brisk voice.
Nów, Colin had turned into a real man after those years. Even his voice sounded mature.
Colin posed more of a threat to Ethan than Jack did.
Ethan was on the edge, wondering how Olivia would answer that.
“How could you still be this greasy when you’ve grown this old?” She sounded happy.
“That’s because I miss you, Olivia. How about our old ritual tonight? It’s been so long. I-‘
“Tonight’s a no-no,” she refused without a second thought. “I have a patient.”
“How can a patient be more important than I am?” Colin was literally a fox.
Ethan gnashed his teeth so hard that they almost fell. He thought, What is there that has to be done at night?”
”
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 …
