Chapter 1019
Willow was standing behind her outside the door.
Olivia patted her on the head and said, “Good job, dear. I’ll tend to his wounds. You should get some rest. You must be tired.”
Willow nodded.
Olivia fell silent as she watched Willow leave. She didn’t know what Ethan might try to do if he found out Willow wasn’t his daughter.
Ethan’s cold and emotionless face from the past appeared in her mind. He had told her that he wouldn’t tolerate her betrayal.
Even if he forgave her for doing it with Logan, it didn’t mean he would tolerate the child she had with another man.
Willow’s existence would be like a thorn in his side that he could
never forget.
When Olivia got to the spring, Ethan was already n*ked in the water.
After realizing that Vanessa was Olivia, Cyril became very sensible.
He took the chance to sneak away from the cave and left them alone.
Ethan licked his lips. He had a lot of things he wanted to tell Olivia.
He could only keep those things to himself before he realized who
she truly was. He finally had the chance to tell her.
“Liv, I …”
Olivia put her finger on his lips and said, “I don’t want to hear
anything. As you know, I changed my identity and hid because I wanted to be away from you.
“I hope you won’t disrupt the status quo.”
With one sentence, she silenced everything he wanted to say.
Ethan said bitterly, “What status quo is this?”
Olivia replied coldly, “I’m the doctor. You’re the patient. That’s all.”
She casually wiped out all the history they had together.
“As for what happened just now, I apologize for Colin. The good thing is, you’re unharmed. I saved your life, so we’re square on this.”
“So, Colin is more important to you than me?” Ethan blurted out.
Realization struck Olivia as she looked at Ethan abruptly.
“You knew he was Colin?”
If he had guessed that, it would mean he knew her true identity, too. Why would he pretend not to know her?
Perhaps he had realized that Colin was setting him up, and he was
just playing along.
Ethan understood what she was thinking about. He quickly explained,
“That’s not it. He called you his sister. Jack wouldn’t do that.
“You look healthy, which means you’ve been cured. Most importantly,
only he could do something like that.”
Olivia didn’t believe him at all. As long as the seed of doubt had taken
root, it would only get stronger over time.
“Ethan, was that all just a show to get me to pity you? Did you know who I was? Was that why you asked Brent and the others to leave?”
Ethan was shocked, but he managed to keep a straight face. He couldn’t afford to be exposed.
He felt fortunate that his eyes were still covered up. It was harder to discern his emotions like that.
“Liv, you think too highly of me. I’m not a god. I can’t foresee the
future, nor do I have the power to manipulate Colin to lure me to the snake pit.
“There were so many snakes there. Do you think I would gamble with my life?”
Olivia stared at him for a while.
He was right.
Even if he had Willow’s bracelet, he wouldn’t know it could repel snakes and other creepy crawlies since Willow couldn’t talk.
In that situation, jumping into the pit would mean certain death.
No matter how cunning he was, Ethan would never do something like
that.
Olivia finally let her guard down. She forgot that Ethan was a
complete maniac.
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 …
