The paper bag containing breakfast fell from Krystal's hands as she ran out while covering her eyes.Ethan's voice woke Olivia, who was deep asleep. She frowned but didn't open her eyes.They had remained in that position for the whole night, so she was uncomfortable.She tossed to the other side and buried her face in his embrace just like how she always did in the past.It served as a pleasant surprise to him. Noticing that she wasn't going to wake up, he closed his eyes to continue sleeping.It was a rare moment to see them sleeping in.Due to Ethan's identity, the nurses didn't dare to disturb him. Thus, they didn't check on that room.Olivia would usually take the medicine from the nurses after waking up. Hence, no one would bother them, and they could sleep peacefully.She had a dream in which she saw her three children.Holding the twin's hands, Connor grinned while running toward her.She spread her arms wide and hugged them.Her kids were finally back.This was the

The more Ethan wished the time would slow down, the faster the time passed.On the sixth night, he hugged Olivia as he couldn't sleep.She knew what was running through his mind, but she didn't utter a word.Life was full of reunions and farewells. People would fall and get back to their feet again and again. That was a process of learning and growing.No one would stay in the same spot forever.The sun rose.After Olivia made Ethan breakfast, Kelvin and Brent secretly appeared by the door. It had been days since they last showed up.Judging from their dark circles and how they were skinnier than before, they were obviously busy these days."Mrs. Miller."She asked curiously, "Aren't you guys leaving tomorrow?""Mr. Miller called us over. He's recovering fast, and he wants to be discharged earlier. We've done the procedures."She looked back at Ethan, who was clad in a suit. One couldn't notice that he was injured before; he seemed fine as usual.His minor injuries had

Despite his sharp tongue, Joel had always been a man with a soft heart. "Do you know how many times he had told me off? He just won't stop scolding me. If I had not told him that you'll return Olivia to him, I wouldn't have known what to do.""Thank you so much for pulling some strings, Uncle Tucker."Joel waved his hand. "Enough with this. I promised you because I saw the potential in her. If she was useless, I wouldn't have wasted my time on this. "Let's talk about you. Are you really willing to let her go? Don't regret it tomorrow. I'm too old to play games with you youngsters.""Don't worry, Uncle Tucker. I was immature back then. I thought that what I did was for her sake. Now, I understand that loving someone is not fettering her wings but respecting her dreams.""You wouldn't have ended up this way if you realized this sooner. But it's still not too late to make up for your mistakes. You have a long journey ahead.""Got it.""Now, scram. Let's not meet each other anymore.""T

It was a nearly insurmountable challenge for Connor. He was still so small. It was devastating for him both physically and mentally.The tall and slender boy had a few other kids at his side. He seemed to be the leader of the group. The boy's frame was slender, and his collarbone was very pronounced. It was clear that he had a rough life and was a little malnourished. But the boy didn't possess the naivete of kids his age. His eyes reminded Olivia of an alpha male of a wolf pack. They were filled with ruthlessness and authority. "The kid's name is Titus. He might be young, but he's an orphan we found on the battlefield up north. "He was eating corpses for sustenance when we found him. He often had to fight against vultures for food."Olivia gagged at the thought. "He ate human meat!" "Rotten meat, to be precise. Humans would do anything to survive. He would have eaten dirt if he had to. Titus was the name he gave himself. "He never knew his parents. He was on the verg

Olivia didn't fail to notice the fear and unease in Connor's eyes. What had she done? Why would her son look at her with those emotions? "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."Olivia hugged Connor and apologized to him repeatedly. Connor didn't know what to do."Why … Why did you come here?""My baby, Mom is so sorry. I'm sorry for coming so late.""Mom?" Connor thought he heard wrong. Did Olivia really address herself as his mother?"My dear child, I was mistaken about some things. I only managed to find you again now. It's all my fault."Olivia hugged Connor tightly as tears rolled down her chin and fell on his neck. The hug was the best solace for both of them at that moment. Ethan had someone bring them a first aid kit. "Liv, we should tend to his wounds first."Olivia let go of Connor and looked at his injuries with a pained expression. "It must hurt, right?""It doesn't hurt." Connor stared at Olivia with a dreamy look, like she would disappear before him if he blinked.
