Chapter 980
Ethan fell toward the void.
His b*dy didn’t hit the ground. Instead, someone caught him.
Ethan had already lost consciousness. His slender b*dy leaned against the person.
Willow danced in elation, the bells ringing as she did so. Even though she couldn’t speak, her face
radiated with joy.
Kelvin and Brent momentarily forgot their sorrow as they stared at the woman who had appeared out of
nowhere.
The woman wore a cool black outfit paired with sturdy Martin boots.
The short leather top outlined her perfect figure and curves. Her outfit looked very modern, and it stood
out a little in the simple village.
As their gazes moved upward from her elegant neck, they saw a decent-looking face.
She wasn’t ugly, and she could be described as nice-looking at most. She couldn’t be considered pretty.
They had no idea how a woman like her could give birth to a pretty child-like Willow.
The woman wrapped an arm around Ethan’s waist as she patted the girl’s head with her other hand.
Willow gestured urgently. The woman nodded. “I know.”
Brent hastily asked, “Are you the miraculous doctor who can cure the Ninefold Venom?”
“It’s doable.” Her voice was cold, and she spoke minimally.
The woman placed Ethan’s b*dy on the ground. She checked his breath and realized that he could still be
saved.
She took off his clothes right away. He was wearing a shirt underneath, and she couldn’t be bothered to
undo the buttons one by one.
So, she slit the shirt open with a knife right down the middle.
Her movements were slick and decisive. The cold gleam of the knife flashed for a moment, and Ethan’s
ch*st was already exposed.
Brent and Kelvin were startled. Her knife skills were lightning-fast.
If she was slicing skin instead of clothes, she could open a wound right away.
The red patterns were like soldiers surrounding a fortress.
Now, it was as if the soldiers were at the walls of the fortress, and they would be attacking at any instant.
If they made it past the moat, the poison would win.
“Is there still hope, doctor?”
“His heart is still unharmed. There’s still time.”
The woman looked at her daughter, saying, “Willow, I’ll need to borrow your blood.”
Willow didn’t object to that as she hastily raised her hand. It was only then that the woman noticed the
bandages wrapped around her palm. 1
The woman quickly realized something.
“You’ve already given him your blood?”
Willow nodded.
The woman frowned. She didn’t want to cut her daughter’s hand again.
Willow was already holding her hand to the woman. She also stuffed a small knife into the woman’s hand.
The woman had given this knife to Willow on her second birthday. It could cut through steel with great
ease.
Willow needed to protect herself from birth so that she wouldn’t be harmed by others.
The woman hesitated a few seconds at the thought of wounding her daughter’s hand with that knife.
In the end, she made a small incision on the girl’s hand.
Blood dripped out of Willow’s middle finger.
Even if Kelvin and Brent had witnessed that scene before, they still felt amazed when they saw it again.
Where did the girl come from, and how did she have such powers?
After Ethan drank the blood, the woman helped Willow to stop the bleeding as she said, “Carry him and
follow me.”
Kelvin and Brent rekindled their determination right away as they swiftly carried Ethan down the mountain.
The woman carried Willow in one arm while Willow wrapped her arms around the woman’s neck.
Kelvin and Brent were surprised that the woman could walk so quickly, even while carrying Willow with
one arm.
The woman was very modern, and she was completely different from the plain village.
Staring at her from behind, Kelvin wondered why she looked so much like Olivia.
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 …
