Olivia's subconscious told her not to go into the room. The hand she placed on the doorknob froze. A warm hand enveloped the back of her hand. Ethan whispered gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you." The door was opened. There were no monsters. There was no blood. It was just a pink room with all its furnishings removed. The room was almost empty except for a carpet and some baby toy decorations that hadn't been taken down yet. It was clear that the room used to be a nursery. Olivia could feel a weight on her chest, and her eyes became sore. She walked into the empty room and stopped at the position where the crib used to be. She slowly crouched down. Olivia couldn't remember anything, but her body brought her to the location reflexively. "Did something used to be here?"Ethan was shocked to see what Olivia was doing. He sat down beside her and said, "A crib."Olivia observed the empty room as thoughts began to fill her mind. "We had a baby?""Yes."Olivia as
Ethan continued to reminisce about their lives together. Olivia couldn't remember anything, but she was able to pick up some clues from Ethan's words. "I used to love you a lot, right?"Ethan looked at her tenderly and said, "Did your memories return?"Olivia shook her head and said, "I just think that the me you're talking about was such an outstanding individual. "But she gave up her family and her studies just to be with you. If she weren't hopelessly in love with you, she wouldn't have given up her dreams for you." Ethan had a complicated expression on his face, which confused Olivia. He looked into the distance and murmured, "Yeah, you would never have given up so much if you weren't hopelessly in love with me. Liv, I'll love you with everything I have. I swear on my life." He hugged Olivia so tightly that she could barely breathe. She had no choice but to push against Ethan. Then, Olivia realized her right arm wasn't as nimble as her left. She looked and saw a sca
Ethan quickly walked out the door and whispered, "Hello?""Mr. Miller, is Mrs. Miller awake yet? How is she feeling?" Chris asked. Olivia had been knocked out for three days since she was injected with the drug. Chris figured she had to have woken up. Ethan roughly described Olivia's condition to Chris, who sighed in relief. "That's great. I was afraid that …"Chris had been feeling anxious for the past few days. He remembered the time when Olivia had a high fever a year ago. The amount of red blood cells and white blood cells she had was unbelievably low. That was usually caused by chemotherapy. But there weren't any issues on Olivia's medical examination report, so Chris didn't bring it up. The drug Ethan injected into Olivia was unique. It would have adverse effects when injected into people with weaker immune systems, like kids, pregnant women, and the elderly. Other than that, it would also be detrimental to the health of cancer patients. Chris would sometimes th
It was the middle of the night. Burgess had already returned home. Ethan and Olivia were the only ones left in the villa. "Are you tired?"Olivia shook her head and said, "Not at all. I'll watch TV for a while." She felt a little awkward. Even though the two of them were already married, she still wasn't that familiar with Ethan. She was still reluctant to be intimate with him. Ethan noticed her unease. He wasn't about to rush things. "Okay, I'll watch with you." Olivia was watching some soap drama while Ethan was typing away on his laptop by her side. Olivia would glance at him from time to time. He was wearing gold-framed glasses. The overhead light cast a warm glow on him and made him seem more gentle. It was as if Ethan felt Olivia's gaze. He raised his head. Ethan was wearing a set of black silk pajamas. The pajamas had excellent texture, and they emitted a soft glow under the light, which contrasted the bright golden glow from his gold-framed glasses. Ethan g
Olivia blushed as she looked away. "The shrimp looks tasty. Let me try it."Before she could pick one up, Ethan quickly fed one of the shrimp he peeled into her mouth."Is it good?"Olivia took a bite. The spiciness, umami, and fragrance exploded on her taste buds. The familiar taste slid from the tip of her tongue to her stomach. She hadn't eaten Camarones a la Diabla in a long time. She stuck her tongue out because it was too spicy for her, and she gulped down some lemonade. "Is it too spicy?""A little, but it's delicious." Olivia's face was flushed from the spice, but she still craved more. Ethan peeled very quickly, but Olivia ate even quicker. "Slow down.""It's a pity that you're not running a food truck. You're wasting your talents." Olivia praised Ethan while she was drinking some water. Ethan looked at her with a tender smile. Did she really think he would cook for just anyone?Perhaps it was because Olivia hadn't tasted such good shrimp in a long time. The
Olivia seemed to have reverted to the state she was in before their relationship started to fall apart. She was innocent, cheerful, and filled with hope every day. Even when Ethan was busy with menial tasks, he would perk up immediately when he saw her smile. His casual expression of love sent Olivia's heart aflutter. She could scarcely hold her urges back when she was close to such a handsome man. Olivia looked away and said, "These cherries are so big and sweet.""I'm glad you like them."Ethan seemed to be busy. He made so much food but didn't eat any himself. He went back to work on his laptop after he peeled all the shrimp for Olivia. Olivia couldn't help but ask, "I think I haven't asked you before. What do you do for work?""Management." Ethan provided a concise answer."No wonder you're always busy."She didn't know Ethan was just trying to distract himself with work. She was too cute. Ethan feared he wouldn't be able to hold back much longer if he didn't diver
The comment brought Olivia back to reality. It was true that everything she saw and heard since she regained consciousness was trying to convince her that she and Ethan were in love and that Ethan loved her deeply. It was like a gift box perfectly wrapped with no imperfections on the outside. Even if the loss of her baby was an accident, what about her arm? Who injured her arm?When she was taking a bath, she noticed a lot of scars and wounds on her body. None of them were lethal. They were more like scratches, scrapes, or bruises. Her palms were calloused. She had a beautiful figure, but it wasn't the delicate, frail kind. Instead, she had a more athletic build. The wounds seemed to be recent, and she seemed to be someone who frequented the gym. Or else, she wouldn't be able to get such a build. All these things directly contradict Ethan's statement that she was a housewife. The most important thing was that the registered numbers in her phone consisted of Ethan and s
The following day, Olivia was woken up by the bright sunlight. She slowly opened her eyes. They were bright and pure like those of a newborn. "Did you sleep well?"Olivia met Ethan's smiling face and thought he was the most charming man in the world. Even though some might think it to be an exaggeration, Olivia believed that to be true for Ethan. Even as she looked at him so closely, she was amazed at how good-looking he was. No matter what angle she looked at him from, she couldn't find even the slightest imperfection. When he didn't smile, he was cold as ice. But when he did smile, his demeanor brightened up. Olivia replied, "Y-Yeah."In the past, she was constantly stressed and had trouble falling asleep. She would suffer from insomnia most nights. Even if she did manage to sleep, she would be plagued by nightmares. Last night, she had a nice dream and slept through the night. "That's great. Good morning, honey."Ethan leaned over and kissed her on the forehead lightly.
