A helpless Brent answered, "Mr. Miller, it's me."Ethan reached out to touch him. "Where's Liv?""It must be a dream again?""A dream?" Ethan frowned.The dream felt too real for him. It was so real that he could feel Olivia's skin and temperature. He thought he could still hear her voice ringing in his ears."Yeah. I'm afraid Mrs. Miller is still somewhere far away from here. Why would she appear here?"Ethan's heart sunk to the pit of his stomach.It wasn't easy for him to finally look for her, and yet it turned out to be a dream.He lowered his head, letting out a bitter smile. "You're right. Why would I be able to see her?"Olivia's icy voice spoke. "You're awake. Eat something."Only then did he realize that Brent wasn't alone. The doctor was present, too.He wondered if he had said something while sleeping. "Was she here the whole time?"Brent quickly replied, "No. Vanessa was outside the whole time. She entered the room with me a while ago. What's the matter?""

Olivia's cold gaze swept across everyone. "I don't care who you are. But since you're in the village, you gotta abide by the rules here. Otherwise, get out of here.""Stop it, brat! This is not Aldenvine. Besides, didn't you say that you wanna save Sova? "Are you going to offend the only doctor that can save him?" Joel managed to keep Krystal's temper under control.The reluctant Krystal approached Wendy unwillingly for Ethan's sake. "Madam Wendy, it was all my fault. I was on edge these days because Sova was poisoned. I hope you can forgive me."Wendy was an old woman in her 80s. She wouldn't take a young brat's words to heart at all.She merely shot a cold glance at Krystal. "Know your place."Olivia held Wendy and left without sparing the others a glance.Krystal glared at the back of Olivia's head, touching her red cheeks.No one had ever done that to her before!The glint in her eyes scared Joel. Krystal was no ordinary person, after all.They brought her along this

Everything in Krystal's life went well, bar one—love.The moment Ethan saved her, she swore to herself that she must marry him when she grew up.She didn't have a rough childhood growing up. Everyone paid respect to her. Even if she wished for a star or the moon, there would be someone getting them for her.Yet, she was slapped by another woman! Krystal thought, "So what if she's a doctor? She's so ugly. She's not even as pretty as my toes."She ran to the river, looking at her reflection. Judging from how Olivia didn't hold herself back, Krystal bet that her cheeks were swollen.Today, Krystal vowed to make Olivia pay back in multiple folds.She was so immersed in her reflection that she didn't sense the impending danger.Kelvin suddenly pulled her backward. "Be careful!"Before she could register the situation, she saw a snake jumping out of the water. It revealed its sharp teeth, trying to bite her leg.She was so surprised that words couldn't come out of her. Had it

"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

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.
