Brent subconsciously gulped as he pointed at himself. "Me?"
Olivia said coldly, "Who else? Me? Hurry up. The time you're delaying right now is the life he's losing."
Brent was a little exasperated. He didn't have a girlfriend, but it didn't mean that he swung that way.
He was as straight as can be.
But the doctor was right. The more time he wasted, the closer Ethan was to death.
"I ... Fine." Brent thought that as long as it could help Ethan survive, this was nothing.
With that, Brent took the bowl of medicine and held a mouthful in his mouth. The corners of his mouth kept
twitching.
"Steady yourself. Don't waste the medicine. The second dose uses other herbs, and they have different effects."
Brent felt like this was even harder than walking on a tightrope.
Steeling himself, he closed his eyes and chose not to think of anything as he aimed his mouth at Ethan's.
It was a matter of life and death, so he shouldn't think too much about it. He would treat it as CPR.

As expected of the helper Olivia selected, Brent was very reliable.
Brent was quite a looker himself, so the sight of the two men kissing was quite nice.
Olivia's thoughts were trailing off.
Reassured, Olivia continued making the medicine.
Ethan had to take 81 doses in total. In the first three days, he had to take one dose every three hours.
After all, his life was on the line, so the medicine had to be more potent.
After the medicine was fed, Brent placed Ethan on the ground to rest for a moment.
Then, he moved Ethan to the tub. He wanted the toxins to get flushed out as soon as possible.
The two worked seamlessly together. Olivia was in charge of making the medicine, whereas Brent fed Ethan the
medicine and took care of him.
After a whole day, the color of Ethan's lips began to turn normal, and he was able to drink the medicine on his own.
When Ethan took the initiative to swallow, Brent was overcome by emotion. "He has the will to survive now!"
"It's too early to celebrate. His various organs were destroyed by the toxins, so he won't recover so quickly."
Brent's eyes turned red.
"No, I'm already grateful enough to you that my boss is getting better. If you didn't help out in time, he would've
been buried by now."
No matter how slow the recovery process would be, it was wonderful news that he could recover at all.
"I was just carrying out my duties. You have worked without any sleep or rest for a whole day, so switch someone
in. You should get some rest."
"Alright. I leave him in your hands for now."
"Sure."
Olivia kept the medicine boiling. Then, she went to check on Ethan's body.
After Brent left, they were the only ones left in the cave.
Even though Ethan used to be the person she was the most intimate with, Olivia still felt a little awkward.
But as a doctor, she had to know her patient's condition.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe removed the lid. The water inside was very hot. Even though it wouldn't cook a person, it couldn't have been
easy to endure.
She touched his skin, intending to see how far the patterns had receded. It would help her decide on the dosage,
too.
But to her surprise, she had just touched Ethan's hand when a large hand suddenly held her wrist and pulled.
With a splash, Olivia fell into the tub.
The tub was huge, so it could easily fit two people.
But Ethan hadn't completely regained his consciousness. He simply dragged her in by instinct. He wasn't careful at
all.
Despite the hot water in the tub, Olivia was forced to swallow some of it.
Ethan's body pushed hers against the edge of the tub.
His burning body was flush against hers as he gripped her neck with his left hand.
His cold yet hoarse voice rang out.
"What are you trying to do?"
