Gentle sunlight shone in through the window. Ethan had his back to the light, and the sunlight coated him with a gentle golden glow.His firm features appeared much gentler as well. He sat there quietly, and tiny dust particles danced around him.At that moment, it seemed like they had gone back in time to when they first met each other.In just a few years, they could no longer return to who they once were.Long silence replaced their rare greetings. Ethan wasn't confident at all."Did you remember everything?""Yes."Olivia's expression had changed. It was resolute and cold. She spoke up straight away. "Ethan. If you still have the tiniest shred of conscience left, let me go."A bitter and exasperated smile appeared on Ethan's lips. As expected, after she regained her memories, the first thing she wanted was to get away from him."Liv, I know that you hate me. But your body is not in a good condition right now. It's not that I don't want to let you go, but I simply can't
Sharon was elated when she heard Olivia taking the initiative to ask for food.In the past week, Olivia didn't have much of an appetite. So, this was a good sign.Unbeknownst to her, Olivia still didn't feel like eating right now. But Olivia could only try her best so that she could survive.Sharon felt comforted when she watched Olivia taking huge bites of the food. "Yes, it's a good thing to eat more. You'll strengthen your immune system."Olivia ate too quickly. So, after feeling nauseous for a bit, she threw up.When Sharon saw how much Olivia was suffering, she felt heartbroken as well. "Why don't you take it easy for now, Mrs. Miller?"After drinking some water, Olivia calmed down. Then, she began to eat again.Many cancer patients in the advanced stage couldn't eat much. The less they ate, the weaker their immune system became and the more active their cancer cells would be.After eating, Olivia threw up again. When she was done, she continued eating.She only had o
Back then, Avery was wearing a mask throughout the process.He was the boss behind the scenes of Peace's Embrace, so only a few people would know about his identity. Perhaps even his family was in the dark. So, Olivia could only gather information discreetly.As expected, Troy scratched his head in confusion. "Peace's Embrace? What's that?""Nothing. I was just asking. Is Mr. Avery in a very bad condition?"She recalled the man's haggard face from two years ago. It had been two years since then, so he must have found a suitable kidney by now, right?With the position and status of the Fordhams, no matter what methods he used, it wouldn't be much trouble for him to get a matching kidney.Troy's voice was low. "Well, it's a little complicated. Ms. Fordham, if you have any requests, feel free to ask."Olivia asked some questions. They weren't quite familiar with each other, after all. So, without revealing Avery's current situation, Troy ended the call.If Olivia couldn't get he
"Go ahead. I'll help as long as it's something I can do."Olivia spoke a few words in his ear. Keith looked a little worried. "Are you sure you want to do that?""Keith, I want to leave this place no matter if I'm dead or alive.""Alright, I'll try my best."When Ethan received her blood test report, he was a little puzzled. "Her red and white blood cells have increased a little, and all her health indicators are improving as well. Why can't she get out of bed yet?"Chris shook his head as well. "That can't be. Logically speaking, Mrs. Miller should be able to walk around now."Keith had a cold look on his face. "Do you know how strong the drugs used in chemotherapy are? Other than her cancer cells, her normal cells were destroyed as well."Just one session was enough to impair her health. Her knees were weak, and her limbs were cold, too. "It has only been around 20 days since then. So, it's normal that she can't get out of bed."You can't recover from damage like that w
Sharon could understand why Janice did what she did in the past. How could any woman tolerate her husband taking care of another woman?Sharon was in a dilemma. If they didn't go, Olivia might overthink it. If they went, though, the two women might get into a fight if they met."Sharon, I can see that there's something off about this yard."To Sharon's surprise, Olivia stood up from the wheelchair. Staggering, she walked forward."Let's go back, Mrs. Miller.""I want to see who exactly is being hidden there."Realizing that the situation was getting worse, Sharon hastily told someone to get Ethan here.Olivia had a cold look on her face when she saw Ethan striding over to her. "Open the door. Let me go inside to have a look.""Let's go back, Liv.""You keep saying that you love me, right? Let's see who you love for real."Refusing to back down, Olivia glared at the bodyguard. "Open the door."Ethan wanted to take her away by force, but when he remembered her current conditio
Blood splattered before Olivia's eyes, reminding her of the day Mona died.She froze on the spot, her eyes suddenly widening.It felt like a dream. Snowball was curled up in her arms just this morning, but now, it was lying at her feet, dying. Black blood flowed out of its mouth and nose.Olivia crouched stiffly. She had to be dreaming."Snowy, p-please tell me you're joking." Olivia's voice trembled as her tone shifted. Reaching out, she wanted to hug Snowball, but Ethan pulled her into his arms."Don't touch it, Liv. Snowball was poisoned."The blood that flowed out of its body wasn't crimson but black.Olivia couldn't consider those things right now. She threw herself at Snowball at the risk of her own life. "Snowy, wake up! Open your eyes and look at me!""Liv!" Ethan hugged her tight with both arms, stopping her from touching Snowball's body.Sharon was quick to react. She hastily got someone to clear up Snowball's body.But like a crazed woman, Olivia stomped toward Mar
Keith continued coaxing her, "Olivia, you have to pull yourself together. Don't get affected by this incident. You have to take care of your health.""I know, Keith."Now, her desire to live was stronger than it had ever been. She refused to just be led by the nose and be manipulated time and again.Her mind was filled with images of Mona's face and Snowball's dead body.She wouldn't let that person have their way."Keith, let's proceed with our plans after this.""Alright."The Miller family was thrown into chaos after Olivia's incident. All the household staff stood in a row with their heads bowed.Snowball's autopsy report was released. Snowball was found to have died from a potent toxin. Before it died, the toxin had affected its nerves, and that was why it had fallen off the roof and died.Its cause of death was poisoning.An old cat like Snowball wouldn't eat random stuff. There were some undigested pieces of dried fish in its stomach. After some testing, it was found t
After what happened with Snowball, Olivia was deeply shocked. Since then, she had been drained of all energy, and the positive changes from before were completely gone.Ethan was anxious when he saw that, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't endure the pain in Olivia's stead, be it physical or mental pain.Olivia was getting weaker by the day, and there was still no news of Colin. Ethan was anxious and panicking.On top of that, Olivia also refused to see Ethan. He could only check in on her by looking through the glass outside the door and asking the doctor about her.These days, Olivia would just lie in bed and wipe her tears most of the time. Sharon and Janice took turns to persuade her, but it wasn't very effective.She was suffering from a mental illness, so even the best doctors couldn't cure it.Janice patted Ethan on the shoulder. "Mental illnesses require mental healing. Olivia has lost her will to live. You should mentally prepare yourself."Everyone told
