Chapter 977
‘Willow, are you crying? Ethan asked.
He suddenly chuckled. He was so foolish. Willow couldn’t speak, and he was turning blind very soon.
“What time is it? Sorry, I can’t see very well anymore.”
Willow took his hand and traced the number six in his palm.
“Almost six, hm? Time flies.” Ethan sighed lightly.
He could feel that he had almost spent all his energy on staying up.
“Kelvin,” he called.
Kelvin had also stayed up the whole night. His eyes were even redder now.
“I’m here, Mr. Miller. There was a sobbing tone in his voice.
Ethan chuckled. You’re a man. Why are you crying? I’ve already told you on the first day that life and
death are predestined.
“I know, but… but I’ve never thought that it would be you, Mr. Miller …”
Everyone standing here was prepared to take bullets for Ethan and die for his sake.
If death were to come knocking, they were sure that they would die before Ethan did.
No one expected that Ethan would be poisoned while he was unguarded and that he would end up like
this in the end
Brent squeezed Kelvin’s shoulder to comfort him.
“Mr. Miller, if you have anything to say, go ahead. We’re listening.”
Ethan reached out. “Help me to the table. I want to write my last words.”
“Alright.”
The two guided Ethan to the chair.
One of them placed the pen between his fingers while the other placed the paper by his hand so that he could gauge the distance.
Ethan’s hands were trembling like that of a Parkinson’s patient. He couldn’t even hold the pen properly, let

With great effort, he wrote the last few crooked words on the letter.
“Liv, I’m sorry. I love you.”
When he had written those words, he seemed to have used up all his energy. He had difficulty folding the
papers, much less putting them in the envelope.
“Let me do it, Mr. Miller.” Sobbing, Kelvin took the envelope.
“When you meet Liv in the future, please give it to her in person.”
“Of course
“Brent, help me outside. It’s almost dawn, so watch my last sunrise with me. I won’t be able to see it in the
future.”
Turning away, Brent secretly wiped his tears away. “Understood, Mr. Miller.”
Ethan’s footsteps were unsteady. He was losing his ability to walk as well.
In the end, Brent carried Ethan on his back. “I’ll take you to see the sunrise, Mr. Miller. Hang in there. I’m
sure we can see it.”
Brent still remembered the last time he had carried Ethan on his back.
Ethan had taken a bullet to his chest, and if the bullet deviated even a little bit, Ethan would have been
dead.
Back then, Brent carried Ethan across the snowy mountain.
Sprawled on his back, Ethan spoke in his ear, telling him that he wouldn’t die.
Ethan still hadn’t married the love of his life, and he still had things he wanted to do.
But today, Brent had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that Ethan was truly beyond saving now.
Ethan had courted death many times, and he managed to escape every time. But this time, was he unable
to withstand it anymore?
Why did it have to be Ethan, of all people? Other than Olivia, Ethan had done nothing wrong to anyone
else. This wasn’t the ending he was supposed to have.
Brent refused to come to terms with it, but what could he do?
He didn’t know medicine, and he couldn’t do anything at all. He could only watch as Ethan left.
He had always been a strong mar, but he couldn’t hold back his tears now. He sobbed as he walked.
The ringing of bells reached his ears. Willow was following them. She didn’t leave.
Lastly, they stopped. Brent put Ethan down.
“We’ll wait here, Mr. Miller. You’ll be able to see the sun when it rises.”
Ethan nodded. “Alright.”
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 …
