Chapter 1008
The sheer idea of Olivia lying beneath another man got his hackles up. The urge to kill Colin was bubbling in him.
Willow’s ringing bell drew Olivia and Colin’s attention. Joyfully, he ran toward Willow.
The smile on his face stiffened the moment he noticed the man standing next to her.
He pointed at Ethan while asking Olivia, “Is this your patient?”`
“Yeah. It’s a long story.” Olivia winked at Colin, hinting at him not to say much.
Ethan figured that he should act until the end. “Are you having a guest, Vanessa?”
Colin laughed. “Should I point out who’s actually the guest here?”
“You seem to hold a grudge against me. Do we know each other?” Ethan feigned innocence.
Olivia coldly interrupted their conversation, “No. What brings you here?
Willow gestured to indicate what had happened. Olivia looked at. Ethan. “Your eyes hurt?”
“Yeah. They suddenly hurt after you left. That’s why I asked Willow to bring me to you.
She frowned slightly. “Come with me.
She took two steps away before recalling the fact that he couldn’t
see. Then, she turned to drag him away with her by pulling his robe belt.
Their interaction provoked the murderous intent in Colin, who was watching them the whole time.
They went to Olivia’s room, where she ordered Ethan to sit down.
He sat down meekly, and the wooden bed creaked.
She stood in front of him to remove the bandage over his eyes.
There were still stains of juice over his eyelids, so she wiped them off with a cloth for him.
“Open your eyes.
He did as she told him.
“Can you see the light?” She waved her hand before him.
Ethan shook his head. “I can only see the outline of the objects. Everything is blurry.”
He was telling the truth. He couldn’t see clearly.
“Do they still hurt?”
“Yeah.’
She dripped another herbal juice into his eyes and blew his eyes softly.
It cooled down the flaming pain in his eyes and cleared his mind a lot.
Even his headache was staved off.
The most fatal fact to him was the proximity between them. Ethan could even feel her b*dy temperature.
He gulped down his saliva as he clutched onto the bed sheet.
He was afraid, afraid that he might not be able to rein himself in and do something impulsive.
Olivia stopped after blowing at his eyes for ten seconds. “Do you feel better now?”
“Much better. My head doesn’t hurt either. Thanks.
Hearing that, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Do I have to return to the cave?”
“You can go there tomorrow. It’s enough for today. It’s not like your eyes will recover in two or three days. Don’t worry.
“Don’t wander around at night. There are a lot of poisonous beings here. If you’re bitten to death, I won’t hold you responsible for it.
“Got it.” He nodded and asked casually, “Was that your husband?”
Olivia stared at him for a while. Had it not been for his lifeless eyes and calm expression, she would’ve thought that it was a meaningful question.
“You don’t have to know that. Rest up.” She turned and left.
Colin’s appearance had completely ruined Ethan’s mood.
The old ritual at night mentioned by Colin kept echoing in Ethan’s
Muntenere intet swallow
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 …
