Chapter 994
Brent explained, “She’s a famous doctor, not a country bumpkin. You’re not wearing a mask, so it’s not
weird that she recognizes you, Mr. Miller.”
Ethan’s brows slightly creased. “Is that so?”
“Yeah. It could be because famous doctors have a certain ego. But she did her best to detox you,” Kelvin
added.
Ethan couldn’t put a finger on it. He kept feeling that the doctor treated him differently from others.
Perhaps he was overthinking it.
Noticing that he was still alive, Krystal threw herself at him with reddened eyes.
“Sova, I was worried sick about you.”
Ethan trusted his guts and shifted to the other side, dodging her hug. “I’m fine. Sorry for keeping you
waiting. I still have to stay for treatment. You should go back home.”
She gaped in surprise. She jumped through hoops to get there. Yet, the first thing he said was a request
for her to leave.
“Sova, I wanna look after you. You can’t see. I’ve applied for a leave. Don’t worry about it.”
“It’s fine. I have Kelvin and Brent looking after me. You’re a woman, so it’s inconvenient.”
She stomped her feet. “What is inconvenient? We’re both single. Besides, haven’t we always looked after
each other when we were on missions?”
Wendy happened to pass by the room at that time. Now, she finally realized that it had always been
Krystal’s one-sided feelings.
She sized Krystal up with a mocking,gaze.
“Young ladies now are shameless Can’t you understand that he’s rejecting you? Can’t believe you’re still
throwing yourself at him. How shameful.”
The hatred upon receiving a urine splash from Wendy is still rooted deeply in Krystal.
Krystal retorted, “Sova and I are getting along well. You’re just being salty about it because no one wants.
to marry you.”
“Krystal Heath!” Joel called her out. He heard that as soon as he came out of his room.
However, someone rushed over to slap her before he could teach her a lesson.
The slap echoed clearly against the four walls.
Olivia heard Krystal’s voice when she came out of her room after a meal. Krystal was as supercilious as
always.
Olivia was so quick with her moves that Krystal was left in a daze.
Krystal stared at Olivia with widened eyes, still unable to register what had happened a moment ago.
“D-Did you just slap me?”
Olivia ignored the question as she stared at Krystal icily. “Apologize to Madam Wendy!”
Krystal’s anger rose almost instantly. She came from a rich family, after all.
Had it not been for Ethan, she wouldn’t have chosen that route. She would’ve still been the young lady
wrapped in cotton back at home.
The pampered woman had a vile temper. “How dare you slap you? Who do you think you are, you ugly
swine? You-”
Before she could finish, another slap landed on her other cheek. (1)
“I’m demanding you to apologize. Otherwise, don’t think of leaving this village.” Olivia was giving off an
intimidating aura.
“Do you know who I am? I-”
Joel hurriedly stopped her by saying, “Stop it, you brat! Apologize to Aunt Wendy at this instant!”
“I’m sorry, miss. Krystal is kinda on the edge these days. I apologize in her stead.
“Madam Wendy, I hope you won’t take it to heart. She’s just a brat,” said the sensible Kelvin.
Kelvin didn’t wish Vanessa to be angry at Ethan because of Krystal.
Still, Olivia wasn’t buying that. She still remembered that slap from Krystal.
Back when Ethan was in trouble, she failed to understand the situation, and Olivia was slapped for no
reason!
What did she do wrong?
She thought, “Does Krystal think that the whole world revolves around her?”
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 …
