Chapter 1017
“Mr. Miller, I can’t just stand by and do nothing!”
“Don’t come here. It’s an order! Stay where you are.”
Cyril tilted his head upward to stop his tears from flowing. He had witnessed a lot of his friends die on the battlefield before.
He wasn’t afraid of dying.
Mona’s death traumatized him.
His leg was supposed to be crippled, but he gave everything he got during rehabilitation. He wanted to stand by Ethan’s side and protect him.
He didn’t want what happened to Mona ever to happen again.
Still, a horrible thing had happened. He felt as helpless as the night Mona died.
While Colin was distracted, Olivia took the chance to throw him over her shoulder and slammed him into the ground.
She ran past Cyril and went straight for the pit.
She had completely left logic and the thought of consequences behind.
The only thing she cared about was the dashing general who saved her from the ocean, the ex-husband who leaped in front of her during a car accident and blocked all the glass shards, and the man who jumped into a pit without regard for himself for a recorded voice.
He still owed her so much. He couldn’t die yet!
Colin knew he had utterly lost the instant Olivia rushed toward the pit. He didn’t expect Olivia to care for Ethan even after so many years.
He lay on the ground as he watched Olivia dash toward Ethan recklessly. He understood she would never pick him, even if he waited another decade.
“Olivia, I’ve done so much for you. Why won’t you look at me?” Colin thought.
When he closed his eyes, he could still see the young lady who reached out to him when he jumped down from the plum tree.
Her eyes were completely on him back then.
Olivia didn’t have any snake-repellent powder on her. If she jumped into the pit, she would surely die.
It was her choice. No one could stop her.
Suddenly, the sound of a flute could be heard, followed by the giant
red snake appearing in the pit. The shakes surrounding Ethan
dispersed.
The giant red snake cleared the path for Olivia. No other snake dared
to approach her.
The snake pit was a huge basin with slopes on all sides.
Olivia ran toward Ethan, who had no idea what was going on. He
heard a gust of wind and felt someone hugging him.
She was like a woman diving into the flames to be with her lover. She
Olivia’s heart was still pounding. “Are-Are you okay?”
If Ethan could see, he would have seen Olivia looking at him anxiously with tears streaking down her face.
“I’m fine. Why are you here, Vanessa?”
Fine?
Olivia looked at his torso in disbelief. He had been surrounded by
snakes. As an intruder into their space, there was no reason the snakes would leave him.
Why was that?
Then, she noticed a bracelet on his arm. It belonged to Willow. So, it was Willow who saved him.
Relief washed over her. He was still alive. That was great.
Ethan grabbed the phone. Olivia’s voice was still playing.
“I’m sorry. I thought I had found my ex-wife. That’s why …”
Olivia gave him a resounding slap on his face.
Ethan was stunned by the slap. Then, he felt Olivia wrap her arms
around his neck. Then, some warm liquid dripped on his neck.
“You bastard, do you want to kill yourself?”
“Li-Liv, is that you?”
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 …
