Chapter 149
Olivia couldn’t make out Ethan’s expressions anymore, but she felt that he was smiling.
When Ethan had finished speaking, he looked at Brent. “Is the speedboat not ready yet?”
He wouldn’t let Olivia leave just like that. But had just finished talking when his sight turned black. He collapsed out of the blue.
It was entirely within expectations. After all, Ethan hadn’t slept or eaten properly for so many days. He had a fever as well.
Brent watched the speedboat getting farther away. He sighed helplessly.
“Run away, Mrs. Miller,” he thought.
Ethan’s words still lingered in Olivia’s mind. The speedboat had traveled a long way, but she couldn’t feel any warmth in her b*dy.
She sat where she was, curled up into a ball. Her soul seemed to have been sucked out.
Crouching in front of her, Jack gave her some tea. It was only then that she felt warmth. “If you’re scared, I can send you back.
Olivia took a sip. The sweetness chased away some of the darkness in her heart.
“I don’t want to go back.” Olivia gripped the mug tightly. She looked pitiful as if she were an abandoned puppy.
“He’ll lock me up and stop me from leaving that room.”
Jack frowned. He couldn’t understand it.
“Since he already has a new lover, why would he be so possessive of you?”
“It’s not possessiveness but hatred. He thinks that my dad killed his sister. But he’s also why my dad turned out like that.” Olivia was so saddened that she couldn’t catch her breath. “I shouldn’t have tried to do anything with his son.
“In the end, I couldn’t hurt him at all. I even put myself at risk. I’m so useless.”
She wanted to make Ethan sad forever, but she didn’t expect to risk her life for Connor’s sake. In just a few days, Connor was so well–fed that he gained two pounds.
“I’m a failure who can’t do anything right. I should’ve died with him. At least it’s better than this. Even after I leave him, I’ll still be haunted by nightmares of him.”
Reaching out, Jack caressed her head. There was pity in his eyes.
“You’re a kind woman. You didn’t do anything wrong. The world is at fault for treating you like this.”
Jack was a cold man, but at that moment, his voice was extremely warm.
“Don’t worry, our island isn’t that easy to find. After all, there are hundreds of islands in the archipelago.
“Even if he finds us, we’re united. If we hide you well, he won’t be able to find you no matter what he does. He’ll forget about it as time pa*ses.”
Olivia doubted it.
Every time she closed her eyes, she could see Ethan’s furious eyes.
“Ah!”
Once again, Olivia woke up in the middle of the night. She had left Ethan for two days, but she had nightmares every night.
She would dream that she was running endlessly, but she couldn’t escape Ethan’s cage.
He followed her like a shadow. Then, he turned into a poisonous snake that wrapped around her.
Olivia looked around at the dark room. The sound of the waves crashing against the reefs rang in her ears.
She had already returned to the peaceful island, so why was she unable to suppress her fear of Ethan?
Everly had gone home for the holidays, so Ethan had nothing to threaten her with. Still, she just couldn’t fall asleep.
She had wanted to stay on the island for two reasons. Firstly, she would cut off Ethan’s longing for her. Secondly, she would ruin the mastermind’s plans.
In Aldenvine, that person could see her every move. Now, Ethan didn’t even know that she was hiding on this island.
She would wait until that person had let down their guard. Then, she would sneak back to Aldenvine to find out the truth. She would give that person a surprise.
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 …
