The number of snakes surrounding them increased. Kelvin threw Krystal off his back. Before she could react to that, he pressed her head onto the ground abruptly.She was livid. "What are you—""Shut up!" He hushed her before pleading, "Please stop blowing the flute. She knows that she's wrong. She will not do it again. Stop those snakes from coming at us!"He lowered his voice, threatening Krystal, "If you don't wanna die, beg for mercy right now! Otherwise, we won't be able to get out of this village."The sound of snakes hissing echoed in the woods. Krystal had never witnessed such a sight before. She wasn't even wearing protective gear.The snakes didn't stop in their tracks. Kelvin grabbed her ponytail to press her head onto the ground again. "I am so sorry, miss. Please show us mercy. If your mother finds out about this, she won't be happy, will she?"As he had expected, the sound of the flute stopped as soon as he said that. The snakes ceased, too.Still, it gave t

"She did, but that was on the condition that Krystal didn't apologize. Krystal did apologize to Madam Wendy."Brent shook his head. "Do you think that it was a sincere apology?""I don't think so. If it really is Krystal's fault, what should we do?"Brent sighed. "She should take the responsibility herself. Tell her to apologize to Madam Wendy sincerely."He entered the room where the weak Ethan was resting. Ethan didn't know what happened out there.Brent greeted him as always when he entered the room, "Mr. Miller, it's me.""I know." Ethan could recognize the duo's footsteps. He wasn't as weak as Brent thought."How are you feeling today?" Ethan closed his eyes, frowning. "Bad. The headache is killing me."The marks on his face became lighter. He should be getting better because most of the poison was disposed of. Brent wondered, "Why is Mr. Miller's complexion looking bad?""Hold on. I'll call the doctor over.""Okay."Brent couldn't care less about Krystal's incident as he ran to

Ethan recalled the details of the dream involving Olivia. An idea flashed across his mind; if that wasn't a dream, it meant it happened in real life.In other words, the woman before him was Olivia!That sheer thought excited him.Meanwhile, Olivia was listening to his heartbeat with a stethoscope.She frowned while murmuring, "Why is his heartbeat so fast?"She covered the blanket over him and sat on the chair. Then, she took one of his arms. "Breathe normally. I'm going to feel your pulse."She had no clue that Ethan was in ecstasy.He began connecting all of the clues about why this famous doctor was able to rescue him in time unconditionally.She even sacrificed three night's sleep to give him medicine.The shriek he heard when he caught her was clearly Olivia's voice. He didn't mishear it!Then, why did he have such a dream?Perhaps she resorted to that method to check his body because he refused to let her check.The blurry image of a little girl seeped into his m

In the past, Ethan and Olivia would intertwine their fingers whenever they were in the heat of the moment.A person could change his face with a mask, face a change in the aura, and fake the glint in his gaze through practice.However, they could never change the size of their hands.How could Ethan forget about the feeling of holding Olivia's hand when he had held it so many times?Her hand fit in his so perfectly.Unlike the smooth skin before this, her hands grew calluses. She had it rough for the past few years.She suddenly shook his hand off.Guilt tinged his expression. "Sorry for crossing the line. I was thinking about my ex-wife."She stared at his face, realizing that there was no huge change in his expression. Even his eyes lost their sparks.She reckoned that it was simply her being paranoid. "It's alright.""What's happening to me?""It could be a side effect because of the heavy medicine dosage. I'll reduce the dosage from today onward and make new medicines.

Grabbing Ethan's hand, Olivia checked his wound only to realize that there was a long line of slits adorning it."I'm fine. I get hurt often. It's nothing." Unbothered, he withdrew his hand."Give me a second." She quickly brought a medical kit over to stop the bleeding. "Alright. Make sure the wound stays away from water these two days. I'll help you to the bed.""It's alright. You don't have to." He shoved her away before dragging his body toward the bed.Although he wanted to stay close to her, she was too smart for him to do that. It would take a single mistake for her to find out about it. Hence, he could only control his impulsive thoughts by pretending that they were strangers and distancing himself from her.Frowning, Olivia said, "There's no man or woman here but a doctor and a patient. If you insist on distancing yourself from me, I won't care about the poison in your body anymore."Ethan hung his head low. "Sorry."She brought over another bowl of porridge. "If yo

Ethan perceived Krystal as a younger sister. He tried his best to look after her whenever he could.He saved her by chance that year, but she ended up pestering him!In the past, she insisted on going with him for his missions. He assumed that the young lady yearned for real-life experience to prepare herself for promotion.On top of that, she indeed donated her blood to him during emergencies. Thus, he intended to help her out.As she grew older, her feelings for him became more apparent. That was why he told her that he was married, and she stopped pestering him for a few years.However, she became eager in his pursuit again ever since the mind-blowing news of his divorce.No matter how Ethan rejected Krystal, she tagged along.His patience slowly ran thin at her attempts. Now, he wouldn't care about their mentor-mentee relationship anymore.Brent quickly said, "Mr. Miller, she's seriously ill. If we don't have her treated immediately and send her back instead, if the super

Before Ethan entered the cave, he told Brent, "You heard it, didn't you? I have to stay for the detox. "Bring some men with you and handle the chaos out there. Since there's nothing serious about Krystal, send her back too."The corner of Brent's lips twitched at how Ethan abandoned his brothers the moment he found Olivia. Ethan was trying to drive them away so that he could spend time alone with her."Okay, Mr. Miller. Cyril shall stay as the messenger."There was no network in the village. The villagers used pigeons to pass letters to keep in touch with people."Okay. Go ahead. Do not tell anyone about my whereabouts.""Got it."In the name of work matters, Ethan made sure others wouldn't disturb his moment of reunion with Olivia.Nevertheless, it would really be good news if the couple could reconcile.The sensible Brent left the area instantly.When Olivia was boiling the water, she realized that she had driven the others away too quickly.Now that Brent was gone, who was going t

Olivia's heart skipped a beat.Ethan added, "Had it not been for you, I would've lost my life. "You're my savior, and I'm genuinely grateful to you. Once I recover, I will surely repay this favor."For some reason, she imagined a story of a hero saving a maiden in distress, in which the maiden would repay the favor by marrying the hero.Olivia and Ethan had divorced years ago, and they had drawn the line that they wouldn't intervene in each other's lives anymore.Yet, an ambiguous emotion stirred in her at the idea of him marrying another woman.Perhaps it was her unwillingness to accept her defeat.Ethan was the man she had loved since her school days. She had imagined building a big family and growing old with him countless times.During their newlywed days, her eyes were always on him as he owned all of her heart. At that time, she had never thought that their marriage would fail one day and that someone else would stand by his side.Still, reality would always hit at the most une

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. Her heart ached as she began crying. "It's finally over, Mona. Please rest in peace."She had been waiting for this day to come for too long. When the revenge was finally over, she felt hollow on the inside. …Yarrows reached their peak of beauty during the season, dancing along the wind.

Brandon and Deborah, together with Jacqueline, had hurt and killed countless people. Quinn became a sacrifice, never waking up again despite her young age. Olivia placed a bouquet before Quinn's gravestone. "Rest in peace, Quinn. I'll take good care of the family.

"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! The thought of it gave her goosebumps.To think that he had made so many preparations just to resurrect Natalie…Even Olivia was deceived. She took the human modification project at face value; she didn't think much about it! "Let Natalie go, Louis. She's been gone for years. She could be watching us from up

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. When the event actually came to pass, everyone would be thinking about their own benefit. However, the result of the discussion between David and Mason surprised everyone.Even though David wasn't acknowledged as one of the Fordhams, he wasn't planning to change his surname to Heath.He saw himself as a Fordham because his mother married Douglas.Nevertheless, he didn't mind his family being relatives with the Fordham family.Mason was a little disappointed, but he still respected David's decision because he knew how well Douglas treated David's family.Mason asked the Fordham family to sta

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. Although Jacqueline was dead, Olivia didn't feel happy, not even one bit. So what if the mastermind was dead? The Fordham family was still in disarray, and no one knew where Shana was.Olivia sighed softly. "You're too young to be sighing like that." Wayne suddenly appeared next

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
Even After Death Chapter 1666
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
