Chapter 1003
Ethan perceived Krystal as a younger sister. He tried his best to look after her whenever he could.
He saved her by chance that year, but she ended up pestering him!
In the past, she insisted on going with him for his missions. He assumed that the young lady yearned for real-life experience to prepare herself for promotion.
On top of that, she indeed donated her blood to him during emergencies. Thus, he intended to help her out.
As she grew older, her feelings for him became more apparent.
That was why he told her that he was married, and she stopped
pestering him for a few years.
However, she became eager in his pursuit again ever since the mind- blowing news of his divorce.
No matter how Ethan rejected Krystal, she tagged along.
His patience slowly ran thin at her attempts. Now, he wouldn’t care about their mentor-mentee relationship anymore.
Brent quickly said, “Mr. Miller, she’s seriously ill. If we don’t have her
treated immediately and send her back instead, if the superiors wanna find fault in someone, it’ll do no good to you…”
Ethan replied coldly, “She had it coming. Don’t be bothered by it.”
Then, he stood up to head outside. The visually impaired man almost
tripped by the door,
“This house is smaller than your mansions. If you’re not familiar with it, don’t wander around mindlessly What if you fall off the stairs? I have to treat your broken bones then.”
“Sorry,”
“I’m not that petty to be angry with you when you can’t even see. Slow down.” She guided him while holding his hand.
Brent stared at their holding hands, which reminded him of Ethan’s orders. Brent soon comprehended something.
Unobtrusively, he smiled for a second. When she looked at him, he was already wearing a concerned expression.
She wondered if it was her delusion.
Meanwhile, Kelvin was still pleading, “Miss, what if something
happens to him? I’ll be sentenced to death! I’m still young, and I
haven’t found myself a wife yet.”
She replied without looking back, “She’ll get better after sleeping for a
few days.”
She guessed in her head, “It seems like Krystal has a strong
background. If something happens to her, Ethan will be dragged into
the problem.”
Still, Olivia kept her expression stoic as she led Ethan to the back of
the mountain.
The warm breeze caressed their cheeks, bringing the flowery scent to
their noses.
The birds were chirping while the stream flowed steadily.
The crease between Ethan’s brows slowly smoothened out.
He initiated a conversation, “It must be pretty here.”
“It’s not bad.”
“Too bad I can’t see them.
“Your eyeballs are affected by the poison. Your retina and cornea are seriously damaged.
“You gotta be mentally prepared that it might take up a lot of time for
them to recover.”
Her remarks embittered him. “If so, it’ll be troublesome.”
“Why?”
“Kelvin and Brent are my right-hand men. Now that I’m in trouble, I bet
it’s a whole mess out there.
“I need them to handle some matters in my stead. If they always stay
here, I might not be able to see progress in my work.”
Olivia was aware of how important the duo were to him.
Words of Ethan getting poisoned had gotten out. Perhaps the other
parties were waiting for an answer to all of this.
Yet, there was nothing he could do in such a state.
“You should stay for the detox. It’s safe here. No one will hurt you.”
“I can’t see. Once they’re gone, it’ll cause you a lot of trouble.”
“This is nothing. I’m a doctor.”
She calculated the days, concluding that the detox would take up about 20 days at most.
When the final day came, he could return to his place and take a break for recovery. It wouldn’t be much trouble for her.
At the same time, she didn’t notice the corner of his l*ps curling
upward.
