Chapter 146
At first, Ethan also thought that it was most probably sbold kidnappers. As days passed, he got less confident about his guess. He feared that it might be his enemies.
He was worried that a box containing their bodies or body parts would show up on his doorstep one day.
The current situation was like casting a stone into water. There was no reaction, and no one knew what was happening in the
water.
Ethan’s patience and wits, which he took pride in, began to crumble as tpassed.
He didn’t dare fall asleep. Once he did, the bloody scenes he experienced before would have Olivia and Connor in them.
On the seventh day, Ethan finally collapsed. He hadn’t eaten or drunk anything in days, and he didn’t even sleep.

On the second day of the new year, Brent found Ethan lying unconscious in the bathroom. He hastily called over the family doctor.
No one expected that Olivia and Connor would quietly return to Aldenvine at that moment.
Connor simply thought that Olivia was taking him to a new place to sightsee. He had no idea that after this trip, they would be separated for life.
Aldenvine had heavy snowfall for the past two days. The tree branches were heavy with snow. Olivia made a snow rabbit on the bench, and Connor loved it.
This child was extremely adorable. Olivia loved him to bits.
She patted Connor’s head in longing. “Connor, it’s tI say goodbye to you. Go hto your mother. I hope you grow up
well.”
Connor sensed that something was wrong. Olivia stuffed the string of a hydrogen balloon in his hand, and the child’s attention was instantly on the balloon.
It was right then that she abandoned the child in a flash.
Connor sensed that she was leaving. Tossing the balloon away, he ran toward her while shouting, “Mama, Mama …”
He hadn’t taken more than two steps before he fell into the snow. Even so, he didn’t give up.
He didn’t care about the cold snowy ground as he ran toward Olivia with all his might.
He didn’t know what he did wrong that his mother would suddenly abandon him.
“Mommy!” He could only watch as Olivia picked up her pace. Then, she disappeared from his sight.
Madam Burgess heard the cries. She wondered why a child was crying out in the snow.
Following the direction of the sound, she looked at Connor with a shocked expression. “Master Connor!”
She dared not believe it. Ethan couldn’t find him even after scouring every inch of the city, yet she found him on her way to get groceries.

Madam Burgess picked Connor up while she informed Brent that the child had been found.
Olivia left only after seeing that scene.
Ethan had a high fever, and he kept calling Olivia’s name, “Liv, Liv.”
Madam Burgess joyously brought the child back. Tears remained in the child’s eyes.
“Good boy, don’t cry. Go and see your dad.” Madam Burgess wiped the child’s tears away, her heart breaking.
As if sensing something, Ethan slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Connor, he thought he was dreaming.
“Daddy.” Connor could already call out to him in a clear voice. Ethan hastily pulled the child into his embrace.
The joy of recovering a lost child filled his heart. He quickly looked at Madam Burgess. “What happened?”
Slapping her thigh, Madam Burgess immediately started describing. “Mr. Miller, I had a dream last night.
“I dreamed that I picked up an egg, and guess what was in the egg? Why, it was Master Connor! I knew then that he would be found soon. In the end…”
Ethan frowned. “That’s way too far back. Get to the point.”
