The room was quite dark. In order to let him sleep peacefully, the blackout curtains were tightly drawn. Olivia gently opened a small gap to allow a faint light into the room.
She walked cautiously toward the bedside. If it were in the past, Ethan would probably have woken up due to his usual vigilance. But now, his eyes were tightly closed, and an empty IV bag
was next to him.
Olivia reached out and felt his forehead. It was burning hot. The fever hadn’t subsided yet. Ethan’s physical condition had always been excellent. He rarely got sick like this.
It seemed like she would have to wait till later to talk to him about Leia.
She was about to withdraw her hand, but her wrist was grabbed.
Ethan pulled hard, and she fell into his arms. She wanted to push him away with a frown, but she heard him say hoarsely, “Don’t leave.”

Ethan was happy, and his arms tightened around her.
The scorching heat from his body enveloped Olivia from all sides. It made her feel uncomfortable. They hadn’t been in such an intimate position for a long time. Even if he was her ex-lover, it made her feel uneasy.
“You need to loosen your grip. I can hardly breathe,” Olivia softly protested.
Ethan wasn’t fully conscious. He didn’t hear what she said and tightened his embrace further.

Olivia had never seen Ethan this way-not even when they were together. Ethan was an arrogant man. He would never admit that he was wrong.

“What are you doing?”
Ethan rolled over on top of her. He was wearing green pajamas. A few buttons were loose, revealing large parts of his skin.
Olivia could see the injury on his chest. It was more severe than she had imagined,
The wound had healed, but it left a sprawling scar on his chest. She swallowed the words she

had planned to yell and touched the scar.

Olivia didn’t even know how to describe the relationship between them.
Her cool fingers touched the scar, causing Ethan’s body to heat up even more.
“Does it hurt?”
Ethan said in an upset tone, “It hurts, but it hurts more when I think about you
Olivia looked him in the eye and saw that the corners of his eyes were red. His skin was pale, so the flush stood out more.
She noticed the messy hair covering his forehead. Sstrands were curled up. He no longer looked like the domineering man who always looked at her condescendingly.
He was like a kid who had been bullied
Olivia had only seen him like this once, the twhen he was drunk. He rarely displayed such innocence. She couldn’t stand seeing him like this, so she looked away
“Get off of me. I have something to tell you”
