Ethan’s brows furrowed tightly. “Which city?”
“Mrs. Durst can’t remember. She said that she wandered along the streets all the way from her hometown. She didn’t have a place to go in mind.

“It’s alright. Take your time. I am happy enough to be able to meet Mrs. Durst. It can be considered as a guide from God. Who knows? She might be able to recall more things one day.”
“Liv, it is true that we have leads. But you have to be mentally prepared. Even if you resemble Ms. Nat- the person Mrs. Durst served-it is possible that this is a mere coincidence.
“It’s common for people to look alike. Plus, that was 60 years ago. It might have nothing to do with your family.”

When she was flipped over the trainer’s shoulder again, the crease between Ethan’s eyebrows tightened.
“Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller just had a preterm delivery. I’m afraid she won’t be able to take such strong training.”
“She asked for it herself.”
During her one-month rest, Olivia spent a long ton curl-ups and lifting barbells alone.
