Chapter 1002
Grabbing Ethan's hand, Olivia checked his wound only to realize that there was a long line of slits adorning it.
"I'm fine. I get hurt often. It's nothing." Unbothered, he withdrew his hand.
"Give me a second." She quickly brought a medical kit over to stop the bleeding. "Alright. Make sure the wound
stays away from water these two days. I'll help you to the bed."
"It's alright. You don't have to." He shoved her away before dragging his body toward the bed.
Although he wanted to stay close to her, she was too smart for him to do that.
It would take a single mistake for her to find out about it.
Hence, he could only control his impulsive thoughts by pretending that they were strangers and distancing himself

Frowning, Olivia said, "There's no man or woman here but a doctor and a patient. If you insist on distancing yourself
from me, I won't care about the poison in your body anymore."
Ethan hung his head low. "Sorry."
She brought over another bowl of porridge. "If you wanna get better soon, do as I say."
"Sorry for the trouble," he apologized again.
Olivia looked at the man, who was hanging his head low like a child at fault.
In the past, Ethan had always been on the top with dominating power. When did he ever act this way?
She let out a silent sigh. "It's alright. I understand. Have some chicken soup. It took me long to make it."
She was stunned for a moment at what she had said. In fact, there was no need for her to add the final sentence.
It made it seem as if she genuinely cared for him.
Some things were ingrained in her very bones as habits before she realized it. She still practiced that after so many
years had passed.
"I’ve added some herbs so that you'll feel better soon," she added.
"Thank you."
Olivia fed him as silence dawned upon them. The atmosphere could never be any more wholesome than it was
right now.
On the day she left his side, she had thought of avoiding him for the rest of her life. She didn't want to see him
forever.
When she had free time, she would imagine how their reunion would be if it were inevitable.

Ethan turned from a cold person into an obedient person. He put up with the discomfort of interacting closely with
others.
Whether she was feeding him medicine or food, he would give her full cooperation. He didn't cause her trouble.
Perhaps he was trying his best to get back to his feet soon.
Since Ethan felt very uncomfortable today, Olivia had to stay to observe him.
That way, she could decide whether to add, reduce, or change the ingredients for his medicine.
There were still poisonous remnants in his body, so she couldn't afford to be careless.
She thought, "The heavy dosage of medicine could be the reason for him feeling uncomfortable.
"But if I reduce the medicine, it might not be enough to keep the poison under control. I guess I should use the
traditional way."
"Let's go. We can continue it in the cave. This is the only way to minimize the side effects, as well as the fastest way
to remove the poison from you."
