Chapter 316
That night, Olivia lay in Ethan’s arms. There was a storm outside, and the hull swayed from time to
time.
For some reason, Olivia slept soundly.
Before this, she couldn’t sleep for the longest time. Even if she did fall asleep, her sleep was restless.
Even in her dreams, she was scared that she would be kidnapped again.
If it happened again, she would’ve died for sure.
In her dreams, Olivia kept mumbling, “Who exactly are you? Why are you trying to kill me?”
“Ah!”
Ethan held her tightly. In a tender voice, he spoke comfortingly in her ear.
“Don’t be afraid, Liv. I’m here.”
Slowly, Olivia’s emotions were soothed. But Ethan didn’t feel like sleeping at all.
Under the dim lights, he gazed at the contours of Olivia’s thin face. He touched her slender hands.
He couldn’t help but recall what Olivia looked like in the past. She used to be such a cheerful woman.
When she got married to him, there was still some baby fat on her face. She looked a little childish and
innocent back then.

was no longer any trace of what she used to look like.
He thought about their encounters in recent times.
Every single meeting ended in tragedy. It had been a long while since he last saw her smiling sincerely.
Ethan knew that Olivia was a strong and cheerful person.
If it weren’t for the trials and suffering in the past two years, she wouldn’t have lost her enthusiasm so
quickly.
Reaching out, Ethan wanted to touch her face. But he stopped within just an inch of her cheek.
Regret invaded his heart. He didn’t want to believe it, but he was scared.
He was prepared to spend the rest of his life healing her.
But even so, when he thought of all the hurt she had endured for the past few years, he knew that he
had no right to touch her.
Olivia slept for a long time. It seemed like she was trying to catch up on all the sleep debt she had
accumulated for the past few
days.
When she opened her eyes again, the storm outside had faded. Looking out the window, she saw that
the weather was wonderful outside.
Ethan was gone from her side. Even Snowball had disappeared from the cat bed.
After a change of clothes, Olivia went out.
She realized that the ship had reached the shore, but it didn’t arrive at a harbor. Instead, it had stopped
at a small island.
Snowball was sitting on the deck. Its eyes were closed as it relaxed and enjoyed the evening breeze. It
looked like it was i harmony with the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.
A familiar voice rang out. “Liv.”
A little dazed, Olivia turned to look at Ethan, who was standing on the shore.
He was no longer wearing his suit and leather shoes. Instead, he wore a white shirt paired with casual
pants.

When the rays of the sunset spilled on his body, it covered him with a faint golden glow.
The warm sunlight took all his coldness away, and he looked much gentler now. It reminded Olivia of
the glimpse she saw at the field that day. She was forever dazzled by it.

stairs toward her.
He handed the coconut to her. “It’s freshly picked. I tried it just now; it’s good.”
Olivia had slept for 20 hours, so she was indeed a little hungry.
To her surprise, her stomach didn’t hurt at all. If it were before, she would have woken up from the pain.
She wondered if it was because the medicine Colin gave her was working.
He said that the medicine was made specially to cure stomach cancer. There wasn’t any information on
the pill or its manufacturer.
Still, Olivia believed him completely. She took the pills regularly.
She didn’t feel like there were any effects at first.
But for the first time in forever, her stomach didn’t hurt even after more than 20 hours of not eating.
Taking the coconut from Ethan, Olivia took a sip.
The taste wasn’t as strong as coconut candies. It was faint and refreshing. There was a slight sweet
taste to it, and it didn’t feel greasy at all.
Olivia drank a lot.
Ethan reached out to her. “You want to see the blue ocean, right? Come with me. See if you like it.”
