Chapter 1039
As tears fell onto the letter, Olivia tightened her grip on the paper. She
couldn’t control her emotions at all.
“Mrs. Miller, we’ve watched everything you and Mr. Miller went through. I believe that we don’t have to tell you how much Mr. Miller loves you. You have no idea how he survived the past few years.
“He suffered a lot just to look for you. This poisoning incident isn’t
the first, and it won’t be the last either. He almost died countless
times.
“Yes, he did some bad things in the past. I’m not giving him an
excuse, but isn’t he a victim as well? He was deceived by Ms. Miller.
Ms. Miller had arranged such a flawless trap.
“Mr. Miller’s family has been broken since he was young. He never received love from his parents, and he only had Ms. Miller to rely on.
He innocently believed that Ms. Miller was his everything.
“After searching for Ms. Miller for so long, that was the answer he received. Think about it. If you were in his shoes, what decision would you have made? Wouldn’t you be angry and avenge your kin?
“Moreover, Kurt’s death had always been troubling Mr. Miller. His best. friend took a bullet for him and died in front of him, after all. Kurt’s only dying wish was for Mr. Miller to take good care of Marina.
“Mr. Miller didn’t want to get married to Marina, but he couldn’t do anything against Ms. Carlton’s insistence for him to repay Kurt’s kindness.
“She kept saying that if Kurt hadn’t taken the bullet for Mr. Miller, he wouldn’t have died. She would’ve had a family, and her children
would’ve had a father.
“She kept emphasizing that Kurt wanted Mr. Miller to take care of her. What could he do under such circumstances?
“No matter how you look at it, Mr. Miller is the one suffering the most. You endured hardship, but Mr. Miller did too. He suffered the pain of his family estranging him, and his dear friend passed away as well.
“He even had to suffer for his wife and the common people too. He’s
only human. He can’t possibly be free from mistakes.
“Mrs. Miller, you loved him so much in the past, so why can’t you love him once again?”
Cyril’s eyes were red. “Mr. Miller always thinks about you and misses you. He only ever has eyes for you, and you’re the only person in his
heart.
“You wanted to leave, so he let you go even if he had to endure the suffering every single day.
“You have your children and your career, but what does Mr. Miller have? Countless enemies, responsibilities and burdens that threaten to crush him, and a life filled with mortal danger.
“No matter how hard it is, he still walks the path all alone…”
Olivia recalled Ethan’s figure when he left last night. It looked desolate and pitiful.
“He wasn’t quite conscious when he arrived in the village. He had no
idea how he got in, but now, he has left the village alone. What if he’s
already-”
Cyril’s voice trailed off. Olivia gripped the letter tightly. “He won’t die. He’s Ethan Miller, after all.”
She wiped her tears. “Get out and continue the treatment for your leg.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll look for him.”
Olivia went back to her room. After changing her clothes, she headed. east. The path was the easiest to walk on, but the miasma was too strong there.
Sadly, Willow wasn’t with her. She couldn’t communicate with
animals.
Now, Scarlet Lily was the only one she could get help from.
Scarlet Lily was the large snake that appeared outside the house on
the day Olivia gave birth to Willow.
Wendy said that Scarlet Lily was a snake with a soul, and it was also the guardian of the village. It had lived for around a century, but not
one knew how old it was.
It was venomous, but it never hurt anyone. When the villagers saw it, they wouldn’t hurt it either.
After Willow’s birth, it came by quite often. One day, Willow touched it, but it never expressed any form of aggressiveness. It even behaved in a friendly way.
Perhaps because Olivia was close to Willow, Scarlet Lily slowly became familiar with her as well.
Holding the bathrobe Ethan had worn before, Olivia asked the snake
to help her locate him. Scarlet Lily took Olivia north.
There was a cliff in the north!
Olivia couldn’t believe that Ethan had chosen this path. Even the villagers didn’t dare go there. Back then, Isabella’s husband took a fall there, which crippled him. Didn’t Ethan care about his own life at all?
