Chapter 1018
Ethan asked like he was afraid Olivia would dissolve like a dream if he
raised his voice.
Olivia punched him in the ch*st and said, “You bastard, do you even
know where this is?”
Ethan snapped out of his shock and grabbed Olivia’s hand.
“Liv, there are a lot of snakes here. Get away, quickly.”
Although Cyril didn’t understand why he would call out Olivia’s name
while another person was in his arms, he still reminded Ethan of his
situation.
“Mr. Miller, the snakes have been driven away. You’re safe now.”
Willow was riding on the deer with the flute in her hand. She looked
like a fairy in the woods under the moonlight. She was playing a beautiful tune, too.
When Willow saw Olivia crying in Ethan’s arms, she felt some warmth
in her heart. Her mother still had feelings for her father.
She turned to look at Colin, who didn’t stay to witness the love
between the two lovebirds. He left without looking back.
Ethan smiled despite being slapped. He wrapped his arms around
Olivia.
He no longer had to hide his emotions. He had a bright smile on his
face like a child.
Liv, I’ve found you at last! So, you’ve been by my side all along.”
He reached out and caressed Olivia’s face, wiping her tears away.
“Don’t cry. I’m fine. I’m really unharmed.”
Olivia had also calmed down. She pushed Ethan away and wiped the tears off her face roughly.
“Go back to bed if you’re not dead.”
She had just experienced an emotional roller coaster. There wasn’t a moment of rest for her. She felt despair and hope several times.
After everything was over, her emotions were back to normal. Her rationality returned to her.
As she walked in front, Cyril also realized who she was.
He bowed his head slightly and said, “It’s nice to see you again, Mrs.
Miller.”
Olivia stopped before him and said, “You’re still as dumb as ever.”
Cyril scratched his head. Olivia used to be very friendly. She would never ridicule anyone or curse him to be single forever.
“Yeah.”
Olivia was speechless when she saw Cyril standing in place and staring at him in a daze.
“Take him back.”
Olivia didn’t care anymore. She decided to let them do as they
pleased.
Just as she was walking away, Cyril called out, “Mr. Miller’s knee is injured, Mrs. Miller. He’s bleeding a lot.”
Why had Cyril become as jumpy as Kelvin?
Ethan withdrew the hand that was pinching Cyril when Olivia wasn’t looking.
Cyril winced in pain. He thought about how hard his job was. He wasn’t as quick-witted as Brent. He couldn’t tell what Ethan wanted just with a glance.
Or else, he wouldn’t have come to his senses after Ethan pinched him.
As expected, Olivia stopped in her tracks and turned around.
“Get him out of the pit first. It’s dangerous here. We need to get away.”
“Understood.”
Cyril did as she said. He put Ethan on his back and left quickly. He even walked faster than Olivia.
“the
Willow, who was riding the deer, sighed in relief when she saw that. Luckily, she made it in time.
Olivia didn’t say anything else. Everything could wait until they were back to safety.
She looked at where she threw Colin to the ground. He wasn’t there
anymore.
Then, she asked Cyril to bring Ethan to the spring while she went to
prepare some medicinal herbs.
Colin’s room was right below hers. She knocked on the door, but there wasn’t any response.
The candle was lit. She pushed open the door, but there wasn’t
anyone there in the room.
He had left again.

Olivia sighed in resignation. She really saw Colin as a younger brother.
She was really grateful for all he had done for her and was trying her best to drag him out of the shadows.
But it had been many years.
Colin was like a snake hidden in a cave, unwilling to step into the light.
She could only hope he would meet a woman who could do that for him. That woman would not be her.
Olivia exited the room and closed the door lightly.
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 …
