Chapter 993
A helpless Brent answered, “Mr. Miller, it’s me.”
Ethan reached out to touch him. “Where’s Liv?”
“It must be a dream again?”
“A dream?” Ethan frowned.
The dream felt too real for him. It was so real that he could feel Olivia’s skin and temperature.
He thought he could still hear her voice ringing in his ears.
“Yeah. I’m afraid Mrs. Miller is still somewhere far away from here. Why would she appear here?”
Ethan’s heart sunk to the pit of his stomach.
It wasn’t easy for him to finally look for her, and yet it turned out to be a dream.
He lowered his head, letting out a bitter smile. “You’re right. Why would I be able to see her?”
Olivia’s icy voice spoke. “You’re awake. Eat something.”
Only then did he realize that Brent wasn’t alone. The doctor was present, too.
He wondered if he had said something while sleeping.
“Was she here the whole time?”
Brent quickly replied, “No. Vanessa was outside the whole time. She entered the room with me a while
ago. What’s the matter?”
“Nothing.” Ethan took the fruit given by Brent.
It had been days since Ethan last ate a proper meal. He always ate fruits and vegetables.
Hence, his b*dy was weak.
When he heard that they were specially nurtured for good health, he ate a few more of them.
Despite having zero protein and fat intake, he felt that it wasn’t too bad to sustain himself with those nuts
and fruits.
“Refill the bathtub with clean water. I’ll change the medication later.
“We’ll detox the remaining poison in him. He won’t need it starting tomorrow,” informed Olivia.
“Okay.” Brent did as she told him right away. He was willing to do anything as long as Ethan could recover.
Olivia yawned while preparing Ethan’s medicine. She didn’t speak to him at all.
On the next day, he obviously appeared better than before.
Keivin rushed over to pick Ethan up. “Miss, has Mr. Miller recovered already?”
“Of course not. It’s only been three days. He’s halfway through the detox. It’ll take six more days to
detoxify the remnants.
“But he won’t need to dip himself in hot water anymore. All he needs to do is to spend an hour in a
medicinal bath. And he can take the medication once every three days.”
Judging from her exhausted complexion, everyone could tell that it had been tough for her.
“Thank you so much. You sacrificed your sleep just to treat Mr. Miller. You are a living angel! I’ll make you
a trophy of appreciation once I return home.”
The corner of Olivia’s l*ps twitched.
“That kind of thing isn’t worth anything. As for the payment, I’ll seek it from Mr. Ethan. Look after him. I’ll
be getting some rest in my room.”
She yawned and left without looking back.
After she left, Ethan suddenly grabbed Kelvin’s hand. “Did you guys mention my name to her?”
Kelvin scratched the back of his head. “No. We’ve been calling you Mr. Miller.”
He turned to look at Brent. “What about you, Brent?”
“No. Uncle Tucker has been calling you a brat, too. Your name wasn’t mentioned. Even Krystal called you
Sova.”
Half of the red marks on Ethan’s face had subsided. There are only some marks adorning the corner of
his eyes and his forehead.
The somber Ethan had doubts. “Say, how does she know my name?”
Not even the meticulous Brent noticed it, let alone Kelvin, who wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
“Mr. Miller, do you mean…”
Ethan said, “She knows me.’
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 …
