Chapter 970
Krystal noticed the change in Wendy’s expression and hurriedly asked, “Madam Wendy, do you know him?
Wendy’s gaze shifted between Krystal’s and Ethan’s faces. “What’s your relationship with him?”
“I’m his fiancée. Please, save him! He means the world to me. I can’t imagine life without him. If you need
blood, take mine! We have the same blood type,” Krystal responded before Brent or the others could
speak up.
Brent and the others frowned. They thought it was inappropriate for her to answer so arbitrarily. But
Ethan’s life was on the line at the moment, so now wasn’t the time to address such issues.
“Do you love him a lot?” Wendy asked.
Joel couldn’t help but feel like something was off with Wendy’s expression.
“Yes, I’ve loved him for many years. I’ll save him even if it costs me my life!”
“What a pair of star-crossed lovers.” Wendy almost clapped her hands.
“It’s just a shame that I can’t save him. You’ll have to seek help elsewhere.”
Then, she waved her hand and asked them to leave.
Willow stood at the side and gazed at Ethan’s face for a moment before reaching out and tugging on
Wendy’s clothes. It seemed as if she was pleading for her help.
Wendy gently held the girl’s hand and said, “Willow, we can’t save this person. Let’s send them away.”
Ethan seemed to have sensed something and struggled to open his eyes to look in their direction.
However, his vision had been impaired by the virus.
He could only see a hazy image of an elderly lady holding Willow, who was looking back at him. But he
couldn’t see the child’s face.
Joel chased after them because he felt that Wendy’s attitude had changed too drastically.
“I’m begging you, Aunt Wendy. Please save him!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, Joel. But you’re also a medical student. You should know how
deadly Ninefold Venom is. Besides, what else can I do when he’s already in such bad shape?”
“Aunt Wendy, there must be a way. There’s still a day left. Please, at least give it a shot.”
“Give it a shot? Why would I do that? What am I to do if he dies during my treatment? Enough is enough.
Our village does not welcome outsiders. Stop wasting your time and leave at once.”
Wendy then slammed the door shut on Joel. His nose would have been hit if he hadn’t dodged in time.
He wasn’t imagining things; Wendy was genuinely upset!
But what had gone wrong? Wendy had initially agreed to help. Joel was perplexed by her abrupt shift in
attitude.
He returned to the room dejectedly.
“Mr. Tucker, what’d she say?” Brent hurriedly asked.
“Aunt Wendy refuses to help.”
“Why? Didn’t she say she’d give it a shot? Why did she leave without doing anything?”
“I’m not sure as well.”

“I’ll go and plead with her.”
Krystal then rushed outside and knelt at Wendy’s doorstep.
“Madam Wendy, I’m begging you, please save my fiancé! I love him. We went through so much to be
together. I can’t lose him. If you don’t save him, I’ll kneel here and-”
The door swung open.
Krystal looked at Wendy expectantly. She thought Wendy had been moved by her sincerity.
However, Wendy picked up a bucket of water and poured it all over Krystal without hesitation.
“Stop yapping. How dare you guilt-trip me? I don’t care if you want to kneel or even hang yourself. Just
don’t do it here!”
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 …
