Chapter 1038
Widening her eyes, Olivia leaped off the bed. She didn’t even bother putting on her shoes before opening the door. “What did you say?”
Cyril had a panicked look on his face. “I found this in Mr. Miller’s room.”
There was a note left for him, telling him to stay here and focus on recuperating.
There was also a thick envelope.
“When Mr. Miller was poisoned, he thought that he wouldn’t survive, so he wrote a will and some letters. This is his letter to you.” Olivia took the heavy envelope. Then, she returned to her room and opened it.
She immediately saw Ethan’s familiar handwriting. Unlike his wild and bold signatures, his handwriting was extremely neat. Every stroke was exquisite like Ethan himself.

“When you receive this news, will you be happy or a little sad? Now that I’m at death’s door, I realize that I wasn’t as scared as thought I would be. My heart is even filled with peace.
“I wonder if I can finally see you when I’m dead?
“In the three years I spent away from you, I was constantly thinking of you and missing you. I think I must have gotten intoxicated, and you’re the only one who can cure that.
“Don’t worry, Connor has grown much taller, and his body is getting stronger. Our son is quite outstanding, and he received third- class merit last year.
“I know that you’re going to blme for not taking good care of him and letting him risk his life.
“But it’s the only way for him to grow up well and quickly enough. That way, even if I die someday, he would be able to continue taking care of you.
“Without you by his side to guide him, he beca person of few words like me. When I spend time with him, there’s more silence than communication.
“He often sits in the sspot, holding the small lock you gave him. He would stare at it all afternoon.
“I know that he misses you a lot. If you’re reading this letter, please go back and visit him in the spring when the cherry trees are blooming
“You once said that when the cherry trees bloomed, you would go back to visit him. So, every year when the cherry trees are in bloom, he would return to the island where you two had stayed in the past.
“He would wait from dawn to dusk, from when the flowers bloom to when they wither.
“He would wait for you throughout the whole blooming season.
“Zack and Alicia must’ve gotten much taller too. It’s my lifelong regret that I’ve never heard them call me ‘Dad’. I sincerely love these two children, but I didn’t carry out my responsibilities as their father.
“I won’t be alive for long, and I’ve already distributed my property evenly. None of those three children will have less than the others.
“As for you, Liv, I have too many things I want to tell you…”

Olivia’s hands trembled as they held the letter. Logan truly did exist, but he died more than four years ago. That was why Ethan chose to use his identity.
Back then, Olivia hated Ethan to the bone, so Ethan had no choice but to keep protecting her with another identity.
It was no wonder that he wanted to cover her eyes that night. It was also no wonder that he knew all her preferences, and she kept feeling like she saw Ethan in him.
Olivia realized that through it all, Ethan never left her.
The troubles in Olivia’s heart were finally resolved. Willow was Ethan’s child, just like her siblings.
Near the end of the letter, Ethan’s handwriting grew lopsided. Olivia almost couldn’t figure out what he was writing.
Olivia thought of him slowly losing his senses.
Under such difficult circumstances, he wrote a sentence,” I’m sorry, Liv. If I get another chance at life, can you please letlove you again?”
