Chapter 1022
The two of them were entangled on the floor. Ethan, who was in disarray, struggled to get up. He only made his condition worse.
He used to be a calm and composed man, but he lost his cool when it
came to Olivia.
The more cautious he was, the more it made matters worse.
“Don’t move. I’ll handle it,” Olivia said resignedly.
She understood how he felt. When she found out she didn’t have long to live, she was also depressed for some time.
She even considered suicide.
No one would be able to take it if they were suddenly thrust into such
a situation.
Olivia calmed him down to prevent him from making matters worse.
Then, she brought him some dry clothes.
“There’s a shirt and a pair of pants. Can you change into them
yourself?”
“I can, but I can’t tell the front from the back.”
“Never mind. I’ll do it for you.”
It wasn’t the first time she had seen his b*dy. Olivia didn’t care anymore. She reached for the tie on his waist and removed his
bathrobe.
Ethan’s back was riddled with scars. Those were the ones he got
from saving her over three years ago.
Olivia could still remember everything that happened vividly.
She was shocked that so many years had passed. Time was indeed
terrifying.
She wiped his face and b*dy with a clean towel. He remained still and
allowed her to do whatever she needed to do.
That was something that never would have happened in the past.
After all, Ethan was a proud man. He was used to doing everything by
-himself.
He had kept his true nature hidden at the beginning of their relationship. They were so close, but she didn’t know him at all.
She would only feel that he was actually there with her when they
shared intimate moments.
It was completely different then. At the moment, Ethan was basically
offering her his heart, but she didn’t care anymore.
No one had helped him shave in the past few days. There was some
stubble on his chin, and his hair was longer.
Also, since he was poisoned, he had a more rugged look to him.
Ethan had taken off the bandages on his eyes. He could roughly see
Olivia’s silhouette. He wondered if her gaze was as gentle as the
moonlight that was shining on them
He subconsciously reached out and touched her hand. With quivering
lips, he murmured, “Liv…”
The moonlight shone on them peacefully. The atmosphere was
perfect.
Olivia fell into his embrace after he tugged at her lightly. He gently lifted her chin with his fingers and k*ssed her.
She was the woman that had always been on his mind. He had suffered through countless sleepless nights only with memories of
her to keep him company.
But at that very moment, she was right in front of him.
He was like a traveler in the desert who had finally found the oasis.
Ethan was very gentle. He was afraid that he would wake up from this
dream.
Olivia wanted to push him away, but she didn’t. Her b*dy had also
been yearning for his touch.
The image of him jumping into the pit kept playing in her mind. It was
truly unbelievable.
She placed her arms on his ch*st and was about to push him away.
Then, she saw all the scars he had on his b*dy, and the force behind.
her push softened.
Ethan’s movements were very tender like he was holding the most
precious treasure in the world. No woman would be able to reject
such tenderness.
He was like a fish out of water, and she was like the ocean.
“Liv, I really can’t live without you any longer.”
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 …
