The door opened with a creak.
Olivia entered the room with the medicine.
She saw Ethan lying in bed.
He didn't look so good.
"What's wrong with him? Cyril didn't even dare to look at Ethan.
He feared he might accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
He decided to use the excuse Ethan told him.
"Mr.Miller hasn't been able to sleep well at night.
He would get flashbacks of the snake pit whenever he closed his eyes.
"He didn't get much rest, so his recovery is stunted." Olivia frowned.
She had been trying to keep her distance from Ethan for the past few days.
So, she never got in contact with him other than when she was bringing him medicine.
"You're still having trouble sleeping?" Olivia looked at the dark circles under his eyes.
It was true that Ethan had trouble sleeping.
He had been thinking of Olivia every night.
He was afraid that Olivia would throw him out the next day.
So, that's why he had those eye bags.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEthan nodded weakly.
"That's right.
1 am haunted by that experience.
Don't worry, Liv.
Not getting sleep isn't a big deal." “This won't do.
Drink the medicine first.
I'll think of something." Olivia figured that Ethan could be exhibiting ssort of traumatic response, which caused him to lose sleep.
It would be extremely detrimental to his health if his insomnia persisted.
Ethan drank the medicine.
He was pondering if he should deliberately catch a cold that night.
Unfortunately, the region's temperature was pretty warm all year round.
Even at night, the temperature wouldn't be low enough that he could catch a cold too easily.
In the afternoon, Olivia brought him to her room.
It was the first the entered her room.
There was a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs in her room.
Suddenly, Ethan remembered that he hadn't heard the sound of bells in a few days.
He reflexively asked, "Where is Willow?" Olivia didn't really want to talk about Willow with Ethan.
She sent her away temporarily after she revealed herself to Ethan.
Her doubts were justified.
Ethan was a very manipulative person.
He tried to force her to get an abortion when he thought she was pregnant with another man's children.
He would never allow Willow to exist if he realized she was a child Olivia had with another man.
He wasn't making a move yet because he wasn't in control.
But it would be too late for regrets if he made a move against Willow after he recovered.
So, Olivia sent Willow away for her safety.
“None of your business.” Olivia didn't know what Ethan had in mind, so she avoided the subject.
Then, she led him to a bed and asked him to lie down.
It was a massage bed.
It was where she lay when Colin massaged her head.
Olivia lit sscented candles and prepared sessence oils to massage his head.
Ethan reflexively grabbed her hand.
"Liv, you haven't givena massage in a long time." “Stop bringing up the past." Olivia shook his hand off.
Before she began the massage, she brought over a razor to help him shave.
She was used to seeing his clean-shaven look.
The stubble was a little annoying to her.
She bent over slightly as she shaved his face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that distance, Ethan could see her face clearly.
She had put on sweight compared to three years ago when she was frail from the cancer.
Her weight had gone back to normal.
Her face was plump and firm.
She no longer had an innocent look on her face after giving birth to multiple children.
She looked more mature.
She used to be a budding rose but had beca rose in full bloom.
She was charming and alluring.
Her skin had always been pale.
But it had beceven smoother and radiant, probably because of the medicinal baths she had been taking.
Ethan was confused.
Other women would appear older after giving birth because they lost nutrients to the baby.
Olivia was an outlier.
She becmore beautiful after giving birth.
Ethan could feel Olivia's fingers on his chin.
She was shaving very carefully because there wasn't any shaving cream.
She didn't even realize she was breathing on Ethan's face.
Ethan shifted his gaze and saw her white silk bra because she was bent over.
The curves he saw were very tempting.
Then, Ethan gulped subconsciously.
