Chapter 352
Ethan slept for a long time. When he woke up at night, he looked beside him as soon as he opened his eyes. But he was alone in the bed.
He lifted the blanket to see himself fully dressed. He felt disappointed as he thought what had happened was a dream. Maybe it was because he missed Olivia too much and was too afraid of losing her.
Olivia would hate him even more if he really did what he thought he did. He held his head in his hands. He still felt a little lightheaded, but the sleep cleared up his fatigue. The fever was gone, and he felt much better.
He took a shower to freshen himself up before leaving the room. He saw Madam Burgess cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
Her face lit up when she saw Ethan coming downstairs.
“You’re finally awake, Mr. Miller. You must be hungry after such a long nap. Don’t worry, I’ll
take care of it. I’ve made a lot of food that you and Mrs. Miller like.”
Ethan frowned, asking, “Who?”
“Mrs. Miller, of course. You were still bedridden with a high fever when she came. You
probably haven’t seen her yet.”
Ehtan’s eyes lit up as he asked, “She’s still here?”
“Yes. Mrs. Miller was very tired. She seemed to want to ask you about something. But she saw that you were sick and didn’t want to disturb you. She’s resting up in the other bedroom.”
Ma
urgess suddenly grabbed Ethan’s hand and said mysteriously, “Mr. Miller, I know you sunt have feelings for her. You have to make use of this chance. Don’t drive her away
anymore.
“She has also been sleeping for the entire day. Why don’t you get her to come down for dinner?
“Okay.”
Looking out the window, Ethan saw that the storm had dissipated. It was like his relationship
with Olivia. It was calm for now.
Ethan still hadn’t decided how he would deal with Leia. It was as if two voices were arguing
about what he should do every step of the way.
“If you love her, you should tell her everything. She’s a very understanding woman. She’ll

understand that you’re being used.”
“Don’t be naive. Even if you didn’t hurt Jeff, your sister is the one behind everything. You two are responsible for the downfall of the Fordham family. If you tell her the truth, she’ll hate you even more.”
“She’s the victim; she deserves to know.”
“The truth often hurts the most. Since you have all the facts, you just need to make it up to her from now on. Do you really want to lose her?”
Ethan had made up his mind when he arrived at Olivia’s door. His gaze was resolute. He had loved Olivia for ten whole years. Even when her hatred for him was at its peak, he never gave up. He wouldn’t give up now.
Ethan opened the door cautiously and walked in slowly. He could roughly make out Olivia on the bed with the light outside the door. She was fast asleep.
Her face was slightly flushed, and she was tossing and turning in bed uneasily.
She murmured, “No. Don’t…”
Ethan suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Olivia had been through so much danger recently. She couldn’t even sleep properly.
He put his hand on her arm and shook it lightly. “Wake up, Liv.”
Olivia was still drowsy, her mind all fuzzy. For a moment, she couldn’t tell if she was awake or dreaming.
She was still immersed in the time they were close, which was before their divorce. She k*ssed Ethan without hesitation.

The shroud of darkness made it hard to tell if everything was real or a dream.
He allowed Olivia to put her arms around his neck and grind her l*ps against his. With every movement, his rationality sl*pped away, and their breaths grew heavier and heavier…
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 …
