Joshua was right. Ethan was indeed sick. He had been running a temperature for the whole night. He was bedridden, almost losing his life.

Kelvin was peeling an apple next to the bed like a maiden. His mouth didn't stop running. "Mr. Miller, look at you. What's all this for? You've been following Mrs. Miller around for half a year in disguise. In the end, you couldn't even hold her hand once."

Brent glared at him. "Can't you stop talking for a moment? Do you think Mr. Miller asked for that?"

Brent then handed a glass of warm water to Ethan. "Mr. Miller, have some water. You'll get better."

Ethan, whose face was pale and lips were chapped, appeared haggard.

After drinking water, he rested against the headboard. He kneaded his forehead, trying to fight through the dizziness.

The first thing he mentioned was about Olivia. "How's Liv doing?"

"Joshua is as meticulous as a lady is. Leave it to him. He knows Mrs. Miller's favorite foods like the back of his hand. He won't send the wrong

    Time ticked by. It had been three days, but Logan wasn't back yet, let alone the child.Olivia's patience was running thin.She stopped Joshua again. "How is Logan? It's been days. Has he not shown improvement yet?""Don't worry, Miss. He's feeling a lot better now. He's just worried that he might spread his illness to you."She wasn't certain that Logan was avoiding her on purpose or if it was really due to serious illness.After all, he had treated her well all this while. She thought that she would be able to have peace of mind after paying him a visit.Olivia inquired, "I'd like to see him. Where is he?""It's fine. Logan doesn't want you to be there.""I'll drop by for a moment. I'll leave after making sure of his condition. Where is his room?"Joshua showed hesitance. "I …""If you don't want to tell me, don't think of stepping out of this door today."He scratched the back of his head. "Miss, I brought you food under Logan's request. Please don't make things difficult

    Ethan knew Olivia so well that he was certain she wouldn't stay by his side after what had happened.He had long expected such a day would come, so he had been avoiding her and simply wishing that the day would come later. She first poured him a glass of water before seating herself on a chair. "Speaking about it, this is the first time I've poured you a glass of water even though you've been looking after us for a long time."Looking sideways, Ethan coughed with a fist over his mouth. "Thank you.""Would you like to take your medicine?" asked the concerned Olivia."It's alright. It's just the coughing. I'm much better now.""Thank you so much for what you've done for us. You're a nice person. You're hard-working and experienced. It's unbecoming of me to make you look after the kids. You're still young. You should try building a career out there," she said implicitly.Ethan held the glass with two hands. His fingers caressed the smooth surface slowly. He lowered his gaze, and n

    Before Olivia spoke, Ethan added, "Don't see it as a burden. The fact that I like you is my business to deal with. I'll diminish my presence as I did before. I won't intervene much in your life but … liking you is my right. You can kill me, but you can't stop me from liking you."Her ears were burning at his honesty, which caught her off-guard. She didn't know how to respond to that.Ethan broke the awkwardness as he lifted his blanket to get out of bed. "Okay, I told you not to see it as a burden. Let me send you back. It's getting late. You should rest up.""It's alright. I can walk back by myself. It's not that far.""The ship's not that safe at night. I can walk you back." He had already put on his coat. Noticing that she was wearing thin layers, he casually draped another coat over her shoulders.Before she could reject him, Ethan explained, "It's clean.""I—I didn't mean it that way. I …""I know." Standing by the door, he reached out his hand for her.Olivia blinked he

    Ethan would still cough at times. After walking Olivia to her door, he gave her a few reminders and left.Her body was weaker than the average person's, and he had yet to fully recover. It was easy to spread the disease to her and Alicia. So, Ethan decided to return to her only after he recovered for their sake.Moreover, it was a difficult decision for Olivia to let him stay. It was better for him to distance himself from her for now so as to not pressure her.Ethan handed her a dagger, reminding her not to leave the room randomly for safety purposes.Olivia entered her room, where Joshua and Alicia were having fun together.Alicia had plastered stickers of stars and moons on his face. He was wearing a necklace and a pair of earrings. There were even acrylic nails on his fingernails.Holding a magical wand, he was in the middle of a transformation. "In the name of the moon …"Before he could twirl a complete circle, he noticed Olivia standing by the door. His smile went sti

    Alicia had gone missing! She ran away while Olivia was exercising!Alicia had always been a good girl, so Olivia didn't expect the child to run out of the room without her knowledge to look for Logan.Olivia thought, "Does she know what kind of place this ship is? Does she know how many perverted people are on board?"Despite her young age, Alicia was a beautiful girl. What if she became someone's target?There were a lot of rich people with twisted minds, and there were a lot of consequences scarier than threats.For instance, people with kinks for legs and hair would announce a job on the dark web. Then, that particular business would look for suitable candidates worldwide.After securing their targets, they would approach their prey. Some naive girls would go abroad to meet their online dates, only to be sold after that.Some of them had their organs or body parts sold. Once their value depreciated, they would be sold to perverted buyers to become part of their disabled colle

    Olivia almost went insane at that moment. A sense of foreboding clouded her. "Have you seen her? Where is she?"Flora crooked her finger at Olivia. "Follow me. I'll take you to her."It was a lure by a devil.If Alicia was in Flora's hands, Flora could've just handed over the child. Flora didn't have to bring Olivia over there.Therefore, Olivia realized that Alicia wasn't the only target. She was one of the targets too.Olivia wondered, "Is it the mastermind? No, she wouldn't have done it this way. She always takes it simpler. Judging from this woman's accent, she seems to be from Arlandia. She doesn't sound like someone from Aldenvine. I haven't seen her before either."Since it wasn't an old grudge, it was a new one.Olivia touched the dagger from Ethan, which could be used during danger.The calm Olivia played dumb. "Really? The girl is with you? That's great! She's so little. I was afraid that she might run into danger after running away. You're so kind."As Olivia had ex

    How gorgeous was Olivia? Even without any makeup and fixes, her skin was as pale as the snow and her soft lips were naturally rosy.Her features were sharp and defined.Despite Olivia's cold gaze, Flora couldn't help but exclaim at Olivia's beauty as a woman herself.Flora had seen a lot of women before, but none of their bare faces were on par with hers.It was no wonder that man didn't budge an inch no matter how she seduced him.How could he possibly avert his eyes onto another woman when he had the perfect woman?Flora caressed Olivia's cheek. "What a beautiful face."Judging from Flora's immersed expression, she didn't seem like she would kill Olivia. Flora was completely different from those who came after Olivia's life in the past."Who are you? What are you after? If it's money, you can name the price as long as you let go of the child."Olivia had ten million dollars when she divorced Ethan. In addition to the dividends she received annually, she was loaded with cas

Joshua brought meals to Olivia as usual, and nothing went wrong.It was only when the sun rose today that something unusual happened.Someone knocked on Ethan's door. It wasn't time for housekeeping, so he wondered if it was Olivia.His expression changed as he was still in the middle of a meeting. He hadn't changed yet!He motioned for Joshua to check on the incoming guest."There's no one." He opened the door, only to realize that there was no one. A box was placed in front of the door. "Weird. Is this a little gift from the crew?"Curious, he opene

    Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies.

    "Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her. Back then, she simply assumed that it was due to her health and talent, but it turned out that he had known her identity all along!The purpose of the human modification project was to resurrect Natalie!

    Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone. She expected to encounter some inspection robots upon arrival, but there weren't any.Ships were docking in lines by the seashore, and most of them belonged to private foreigner organizations and mercenaries. People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless. No matter what field it was, no one would come before an outstanding scientist like him. It would be a huge loss to lose him.Olivia grew worried. "Calm down, Liv. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

    Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried. If the whole Fordham family were to be added to the family registry, would her children inherit less from the Heath family?Humans were born selfish.

    Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore.

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown

    Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
