Ethan misstepped and fell into the spring, splashing Olivia's face with water in the process.
"An ambush?" Olivia scanned her surroundings only to find Ethan sprawled on the ground.
She wanted to poke fun at him.
Ethan couldn't see anything, but he was flailing around in the water, searching for her with an anxious expression.
"Where are you, Liv? Are you okay, Liv?" She was no longer in the mood to tease him after she saw him in that pitiful state.
"Ethan, I'm fine." Ethan anxiously rushed toward her when he heard her voice.
He wrapped his arms around her and said nervously, "Liv, where did you go? You scared me.
I thought you were gone again." There were only a few dimly lit, solar- powered lights in the cave that Olivia brought back The only other light was the moonlight that shone in from outside.
Olivia felt her throat tighten when she looked at Ethan's worry- stricken face.
She had no words to describe how she was feeling.
The once proud Ethan Miller had been reduced to this insecure state.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wasn't used to seeing him like this.
It felt like a dream.
"Liv, why have you gone silent? What happened to you? I can't see you.
Please don't scare me." Ethan pulled off the bandages on his eyes in annoyance.
“Why do I have to be blind? Liv, please talk to me..." Olivia pushed him away and said coldly, "Ethan, you're the one who's injured, not me." His palm had been cut by a sharp rock.
She had bandaged it for him, but he exerted too much force just now, and the wound was reopened.
The blood stained the bandages that were soaked by the water.
Ethan was completely drenched.
Droplets of water flowed down his head and dripped into the water before her, creating ripples.
"Ethan, you don't have to act this way." Ethan ignored her words.
"Liv, I'm fine as long as you're unharmed." Olivia felt a sense of gloom.
It made her feel like there was a weight on her chest.
She didn't like that feeling.
The emotions were bubbling up within her.
This feeling of losing control made her feel insecure.
Olivia pushed Ethan away in annoyance.
"I won't pity you just because you're in this pitiful state.
You did this to yourself." Ethan's hair hadn't been trimmed for stime.
It was longer than it usually was.
The hair clung to his face and made him look helpless.
He pursed his lips.
"Yes, I know.
I understand you will never marryagain, Liv.
I don't want anything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI just want you to be safe and live along, happy life." Olivia would rather he be as domineering as he used to be.
Anything was better than the way he was at that moment.
He was the one at fault, but she felt a pang of guilt instead.
He was the one who injured himself.
It had nothing to do with her.
She understood the reasoning, but she wasn't exactly feeling rational.
Olivia got out of the spring very nimbly.
Ethan realized that his eyes had recovered a little.
He still couldn't see clearly, but Olivia's silhouette was clearer than before.
Olivia put on a bathrobe and turned around to see Ethan still completely drenched like a puppy in the rain.
It made her feel even more irritated.
Why would an intelligent man like him end up this way? She reached out in resignation.
"I'll pull you up and dress your wounds again." "Okay.
" Ethan waved his hands around and felt her hand.
He got out of the spring with her help.
As he stepped onto land, he slipped and fell with Olivia being pressed under him.
