Chapter 1025
Ethan didn’t get a wink of sleep that night. It took him so much time and effort to get Olivia back into his arms.
He didn’t want to sleep after he had finally found her again.
Even though he couldn’t see her face, he still didn’t want to close his eyes. He held her in his arms gently with a loving expression in his
eyes.
Olivia got a good night’s sleep. She slept through the entire night.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ethan’s blank stare. It took
her by surprise.
“Did you stay up the entire night?”
Ethan said hoarsely, “I kept thinking about the snakes, and it made me scared. Besides, you were hugging me very tightly. I couldn’t fall
asleep.”
Olivia looked down and saw that she was clinging to him with all four
of her limbs.
She blushed as she pushed him away.
“I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Ethan looked at her with a smile. “I wouldn’t mind even if you did it on
purpose.”
Olivia wagged a finger before his eyes. She felt relieved after noticing
that he didn’t have any reactions.
Ethan could feel his eyes getting better. He could roughly make out Olivia’s facial features. Even though it was still fuzzy, the good thing was he was recovering.
“You can take a nap now. The sun is up. There is no danger or snakes.
“Liv, I’m hungry.”
Olivia looked at him resignedly. “Alright. I’ll make you some breakfast.”
Ethan didn’t have a childhood. He was acting like a child at the
moment.
Olivia seemed to have forgotten that he would need someone to dote on him to have a childhood.
The village used to be a barren place. Then, Olivia arrived and taught them some agricultural and livestock breeding techniques.
After that, the village’s resources became abundant.
Ethan had been on a fluid and fruit diet for the past few days. At that moment, he was able to eat normal foods. It was only natural that he
felt hungry.
Olivia took some ingredients and made some soup, pancakes, and
salad for him. Those were foods he wouldn’t get a chance to eat
normally. They retained the original taste of the ingredients.
“Liv, you’ve gotten better at cooking.
“Shut up and eat.”
“Okay.”
Although Olivia revealed her true identity, she still treated Ethan coldly. She would not talk to him at all unless it were absolutely
necessary. Needless to say, she didn’t want to talk about their past at
all.
There weren’t any developments in their relationship for the next few days. Ethan was starting to get nervous.
The poison in his system was almost cleared out.
Olivia had already clearly stated to him that she wasn’t adept at healing the eyes. He needed to get checked out at major hospitals to get treated properly.
In other words, Olivia was telling him to go away.
Ethan was trying to think of something that would allow him to stay.
“Why don’t you stab my leg? She won’t force me to leave if I’m hurt.”
Ethan sat by the bed as he toyed with a dagger.
He didn’t tell Olivia that his eyes could see light again. His sight had also recovered to the level of around 700 to 800 degrees of myopia.
He couldn’t see anything that was far away, but he could see things.
that were close.
Cyril rubbed his temples in resignation. “Mr. Miller, don’t you think that
would be too obvious?”
“You’re right.”
Ethan stroked his chin in thought. There was some stubble on his chin again after a couple of days..
“I should just jump down the second floor. You can tell her that I slipped and fell because I was frightened by a nightmare.”
“That’s a viable option, but it’s out of our hands. It’ll be too late for regrets if you sustain permanent damage from the fall.”
“Is there any other way? I can’t really get poison again, right?”
As they were talking, Ethan heard some footsteps. He instantly went
to bed and acted like he was in pain.
Then, he glared at Cyril. “Don’t slip up. Be smart.”
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 …
