Chapter 1014
The noise could be heard from afar. Olivia seemed to be chasing after someone.
Ethan hurried down the stairs while holding the railing. He chased in the direction of the source of the noise.
He fell several times in the meantime but still got back on his feet
and continued his pursuit as though it didn’t hurt.
The noise was not far away from him, seemingly luring him
somewhere.
Worrying about Olivia’s safety, Ethan shouted her name, “Liv! Where are you? Are you alright?”
Olivia woke up from her dream. She thought she heard Ethan calling her name.
“Could it be a dream again?” she wondered.
Uneasiness shrouded her for some reason.
Dismissing the thought of going back to bed, she propped herself up. She figured that checking out the situation could put her mind at rest.
Olivia got out of bed after covering the bedsheet over Willow. She headed downstairs and soon noticed the door to Ehan’s room was left ajar.
She wondered, “Why did he leave the door open at this late hour?”
She hurried to his room, where only the dim lamp light was left turned
The blanket was left untidied, and there was no sign of Ethan.
“Mr. Miller?” She called but received zero responses.
The uneasiness in her went through the roof.
Considering that Ethan was visually impaired, Olivia assumed that he wouldn’t wander around mindlessly.
She had clearly warned him about the poisonous beings in the area. Where could he be?
Olivia checked downstairs but in vain.
There were no phones in the village, let alone security cameras.
She heard some noise coming from the rear house. It was Cyril.
“What are you doing not guarding Ethan?” she interrogated. She didn’t even notice her voice was trembling.
“Madam Wendy made me do some chores. It’s so late. Mr. Miller should be sleeping.”
Olivia was on the edge of going insane.
Cyril had always been this stiff.
Back then, Olivia even thought of marrying Mona to him.
Yet, he failed to make Mona fall for him, although they spent most of their time together every day.
Frustrated, Olivia stomped on her foot. “No wonder you’re single.”
“Miss, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Mr. Miller is missing.”
Cyril shook his head. “No way. He can’t see. Where could he possibly go?”
“How am I supposed to know that? Find him!” She was going mad.
Just what made Ethan leave the house?
Most importantly, where did he go?
Was he aware of what kind of place this was?
The northern cliff was so dangerous that it would take one fall to send one to heaven.
There was a snake’s den in the southern area. Not even the locals dared to come close to it.
Poisonous beings were everywhere in the eastern and western areas as well.
She huffed in her head. “Does he not know that he’s visually impaired? Why can’t he just stay put?”
Olivia ran and searched for Ethan for a long time, but she still couldn’t find him.
She wondered, “How could he run so fast? Is he the reincarnation of Usain Bolt?”
The route ahead of them was split into two.
Anxious, Cyril asked, “Where should we go?”
While she couldn’t make up her mind on which way to choose, she saw a show in the southern direction.
“What’s that?”
“It’s Mr. Miller’s shoe!”
It was a gravel road.
Olivia shone a torch to the ground to realize that there wasn’t only a slipper. She saw a few drops of blood!
She bet that Ethan had fallen here and left the place without staying for a long time.
“Mr. Miller must’ve gone there. Miss, where does this route lead to?” Cyril had yet to realize the impending danger.
After all, he saw Ethan as a mature and collected man.
Meanwhile, the cold breeze added the weight of dread weighing on her heart.
She stared at the endless route and responded, “The snake’s den.”
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 …
