Chapter 1023
Ethan pressed up against Olivia’s b*dy repeatedly. It was like he
wanted to meld her into his very being so they wouldn’t be separated
anymore.
She never had the fragrant smell of herbs on her before. It felt like a fresh experience for Ethan.
Since Ethan’s eyes couldn’t see, his other senses were amplified. He had just wanted to give her a quick k*ss because he didn’t want to be
too greedy.
But once he started, he just couldn’t stop himself anymore.
He reached out to the back of her head and took off the hairpin.
Her thick and glossy hair dropped down and ran through his fingers
Her hair was smooth and fragrant.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too good. It made Olivial
forget to push him away.
Ethan’s hands were starting to get more unrestrained as he felt her up.
Her figure seemed to be more curvaceous than before, probably because she gave birth to another child.
Olivia felt a chill on her ch*st and came back to her senses. Ethan
had almost stripped her n*ked!
It was like she was under his spell a moment ago.
She snapped back to reality and pushed him away. “You’ve crossed
the line!”
Ethan broke out of his trance. He knew he couldn’t rush things. How
would he find her if she ran off again?
This chance encounter confirmed that Olivia still had feelings for him. It was great news for him.
He was like a kid saving up for something that he wanted very badly. He was yearning for the day Olivia would be his again.
Ethan loosened his grip on her and apologized, “I’m sorry, Liv. I don’t
know what came over me.”
“Do that one more time, and I’ll let Cyril take care of you instead.”
Ethan immediately put on an aggrieved expression and said, “Please
don’t do that. You know he’s too bone-headed. He’s not good at
taking care of people.”
“Then, behave.”
“Okay, I’ll behave,” Ethan said matter-of-factly.
He was like a giant Samoyed, completely harmless.
Olivia looked away from his face and quickly helped him into some
clothes and dressed his wounds.
She was exhausted after a long day. She just wanted to lie down and
sleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Ethan called out, “Liv, are you asleep?
They were roughly 20 feet apart.
Olivia yelled in annoyance, “Yes!”
“But I can’t fall asleep. I’m afraid. I feel like snakes are all over me when I close my eyes. They are on my legs, my hands, and my-”
“Shut up.”
Olivia tossed and turned as she recalled the horrifying image of Ethan surrounded by countless snakes.
Anyone else would probably have been driven mad.
Moreover, he couldn’t see. The fear of the unknown would make it
seem even more terrifying.
Olivia sat up and saw Ethan huddled into a ball. His shoulders were
shaking. Was he trembling?
For some reason, Olivia felt like he looked like an abandoned puppy.
He was poisoned and blind. She was the only familiar person he had,
close by.
“Hey, you…”
Ethan had his back facing Olivia. She could see that his shaking had.
gotten even more vigorous.
“Did I disturb your rest, Liv? I’m sorry. You can just leave me be. I don’t
really need to sleep. I can’t see anything anyway. You should get.
some rest.”
Was he doing that on purpose? If he didn’t rest, it would affect his
metabolism, which would be bad for recovery.
Olivia massaged her temple. “What do you want?”
Ethan said hesitantly, “About that… I think I won’t be scared anymore
if you sleep next to me.”
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 …
