Chapter 1024
Something was wrong. Was Ethan possessed? He was a completely different person from before.
Ethan didn’t care about appearances. Olivia was everything to him. His pride would be worthless if Olivia wasn’t with him.
Since Olivia didn’t respond, Ethan immediately added, “I’m sorry. I know that request was rude. Just ignore it. Get some rest. I’ll be fine.”
Olivia knew he was deliberately saying that. But it was true that he was blind, poisoned, and had fallen into the snake pit.
She scratched her head in annoyance.
Ultimately, she gave in to his demands. She carried her blanket and
sheets next to him.
“I’m here. You can sleep now.”
“Thanks, Liv.”
After a while, as Olivia was about to fall asleep, Ethan yelled, “Stay
away!”
Olivia opened her eyes and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Then, she felt Ethan sneaking into her sheets. He trembled as he
wrapped his hands around her waist.
Before she could burst out in anger, Ethan blurted, “Snakes! There are
a lot of snakes, Liv!”
His words quickly doused her anger. She said patiently, “It’s all over.
You’re fine now.”
“But I still can’t forget the sensation of the snakes wrapping themselves on my b*dy. Can you hold me while we’re sleeping? If you do that, I would only think about you.”
Olivia was exasperated. “Are you doing this on purpose?”
Ethan said innocently, “Liv, I’m afraid.”
Olivia was suspicious, but it would be annoying if he kept causing at commotion and stopping her from sleeping.
So, she moved closer to him and wrapped her hands around his waist.
“There. Does this work?”
“Yes.”
That was perfect!
Olivia didn’t have the energy to argue with him anymore. She
mumbled, “Go to sleep.”
She quickly fell asleep after that.
The familiar embrace made her sleep very soundly.
Ethan couldn’t help but smile when he felt Olivia’s steady breathing.
Afraid of snakes? He wasn’t even afraid of death. Why would he be
afraid of snakes?
Everything went according to his plan. It was a gamble. He was sure that Colin would make a move against him.
Ethan had ordered Cyril to provide Colin with an opening in advance. Given how cautious he was, he would never rush in so recklessly for a
recorded voice.
He yelled Olivia’s name in the yard to wake her up so she would realize he was gone. The bracelet was just another stroke of luck.
When Willow gave him the bracelet, he asked her what it was. She wrote the word “poison” in his palm.
He remembered that Kelvin had told him that Willow could tame animals. The village was surrounded by venomous creatures.
Clearly, Willow meant that that bracelet would repel venomous creatures. Naturally, that would include snakes.
On the way to the snake pit, he seemed to be in a rush, but he was gauging the distance between himself and Olivia with Cyril’s yells.
Even when he jumped into the pit, he was sure that Olivia would him. He gambled with his life for a future where she was with
He wasn’t sure if he would emerge victorious, but at that moment, it
was clear that he didn’t lose the bet.
His actions caused Colin to leave and Olivia to reveal her true identity.
She was lying in his embrace at that moment, too.
He had a loving expression on his face.
“Liv, I can wait. I’ll wait until the day you come back to me,” Ethan
thought to himself.
They still had plenty of days ahead of them. He wasn’t in a hurry. That
day was sure to come.

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 …
