Chapter 420
Ethan’s expression became stormy. He almost thought he heard wrong.
“What did you say? A kidney transplant?”
“That’s right. Ms. Fordham is planning to donate one of her kidneys to him. That’s why she did so many
medical examinations,” the nurse said with a surprised expression.
She continued, “Mr. Miller, our hospital is known for kidney transplants. It’s hard to find a match, so the
transplant should be done as soon…”
Ethan ran out of the hospital before she finished. He finally understood why a stranger like Avery would
help Olivia. It was because her kidney was a match for him.
Although she could still live with one kidney, it would still adversely affect her health. She was so
young. Ethan didn’t want her to give up a kidney just like that.
“Mrs. Miller isn’t in Aldevine currently, Mr. Miller. Even Avery has gone missing. We aren’t able to find

“Mr. Miller, you have to rest. We’ll inform you as soon as we get news of Mrs. Miller.”
Ethan used all the resources he had to try and locate Olivia, but it was to no avail. Neither Avery nor
Olivia could be found.
Ethan was unable to sleep at night. Every time he closed his eyes, he would see Olivia’s shocked
expression when he shot her. He felt like countless bugs were gnawing his heart. He felt nothing when
Leia tried to cozy up to him.
“Ethan.” Leia was holding a grasshopper in her hand. It was the insect that Ethan would weave out of
grass and give her when they were kids. But they were no longer kids.
“What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”
Leia looked at Ethan, who had grown frail, and said, “Ethan, I know where she is.”
Ethan raised his head abruptly and looked at her in disbelief. “What did you say?”
“Colin left a few days ago. If my guess is correct, they’ve gone to an island to operate on Jeff.”
“Leia, do you know where this island is?”
“Yes, I do,” Leia said slowly.
After a few days at sea, the boat finally docked. Color returned to Olivia’s face as they docked, but her
hand was almost completely useless. She couldn’t muster any strength with it. Her arm could only stay
drooped on the side.
Colin carefully helped her off the boat. The island was almost exactly how he described it. The sea and

the sky were blue. There were a lot of fruits on the island. It was a tranquil place that would make

“Slow down, Olivia.” Colin was trying his best to be helpful.
Olivia was walking quickly. She wanted to see Jeff as soon as possible. Jeff was her only family
besides the birth parents she didn’t even know.
“Colin, is my father okay?”
“Don’t worry, Olivia. He’s being taken care of by professionals. He’s doing well.”
Olivia was still worried. She only relaxed after she saw Jeff lying in bed. Although he hadn’t regained
consciousness yet, his vital signs were normal.
Olivia kneeled beside the bed and said, “Dad, I’m here.”
She didn’t know if Jeff could hear her or not. Colin pulled her back to her feet.
Olivia was crying profusely while saying, “Thank you for not hurting him. He’s the only family I have
now.”
The sight of Olivia caused Colin heartache. He turned his head away and said, “Rest assured, Olivia.
I’ll definitely bring him back to you.”
