Chapter 554
Ethan’s brows furrowed tightly. “Which city?”
“Mrs. Durst can’t remember. She said that she wandered along the streets all the way from her hometown. She didn’t have a place to go in mind.
“She followed others wandering around. I heard that her city was close to the sea.”
“The country was tangled with wars over 60 years ago. Every military troop attacked everywhere to claim territories. There were countless bandits, too.
“The people formed organizations themselves to make riots. That period was chaotic. The place names kept changing. This alone won’t be able to get us to the right place.”
“It’s alright. Take your time. I am happy enough to be able to meet Mrs. Durst. It can be considered as a guide from God. Who knows? She might be able to recall more things one day.”
“Liv, it is true that we have leads. But you have to be mentally prepared. Even if you resemble Ms. Nat-the person Mrs. Durst served-it is possible that this is a mere coincidence.
“It’s common for people to look alike. Plus, that was 60 years ago. It might have nothing to do with your family.”
Ethan didn’t want her to hold high hopes only to be utterly disappointed in the end.
“I understand. Please have the doctor come over for my hand treatment.” Olivia touched her wrist.
She was determined to treat her hand by all means. She didn’t want to lose her hand!
Every time Ethan saw her wrist, a weight of guilt shouldered on him.
“I heard that your medication dose has increased, and there are additional treatments. Can you handle them?”
“Yeah. The new doctor is impressive.” Olivia kept quiet about how painful the daily treatment was.
In order to recover, she had to tolerate the pain no matter how hellish it felt.
That was how the days pa*sed. Everything seemed peaceful, but Ethan knew that Olivia had completely changed.
He told her to get a good rest, but she spent a long time in the gym every day.
Since her right hand hadn’t recovered, she trained her left hand.
After a month, she immediately requested special training from him.
Brent followed behind him, looking at Olivia practicing female defensive skills through the window.
It was bewildering since she was so thin and could only use one hand.
When she was fl*pped over the trainer’s shoulder again, the crease between Ethan’s eyebrows tightened.
“Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller just had a preterm delivery. I’m afraid she won’t be able to take such strong training.”
“She asked for it herself.”
During her one-month rest, Olivia spent a long time on curl-ups and lifting barbells alone.
This morning, she even tied sandbags on her legs while running. She was taking her b*dy lightly.
Ethan couldn’t do anything about it. He said everything that he could, but she didn’t care.
She wanted training to become stronger.
She didn’t wish to watch others die for her when trouble happened again.
Ethan genuinely hoped that she could pick up some self-defense skills, too..
danger.
At the same time, he felt that the training was too intensive for her.
He held a cigarette in his mouth as he sighed. The fact that things had come to this point was beyond his control.
Even though he had meals and shared the bed with Olivia, she saw him as a roommate.
There was no love in her gaze on Ethan, not even resentment.
It was as if there was nothing else on her mind other than revenge.
As though she didn’t know about exhaustion, she got back to her feet right away.
Olivia’s eyes expressed determination. “Again. Don’t hold yourself back.”
“Mrs. Miller, you’ve achieved the target today. You should rest.” The trainer gave up instead.
Noticing her displeasure, Brent opened the door. “Mrs. Miller, we found something.”
Only then did she give in. “Okay. Give me a’moment.”
She stood up, heading to the bathroom to shower.
Olivia casually hurled her dirty workout gear into the basket. She stretched out her trembling right hand.
Although it was difficult, she managed to hold the cup!
She couldn’t control the strength of her grasp, and her hand was still shaking.
Still, a rare smile adorned across her l*ps the moment she held the cup. Her treatment was finally showing progress. She could move her right hand!
and do
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 …
