The first thing Ethan did was run toward Olivia to hold her, preventing her from falling down. However, blood kept oozing out of her mouth.The whole Miller family was sent into a frenzy. They surrounded Olivia and said, "Call the doctor! Why isn't he here yet!"Ethan hugged Olivia's frail body and tried to wipe the blood away from her lips. However, the blood stained his hand and Olivia's white dress.Ethan began to sense that something was off. "Liv, what's wrong?" he asked.Ethan's question stunned Keith, who hadn't been around for the past two years. He asked, "So, you still don't know what illness she's suffering from until today?"Ethan shifted his gaze onto Keith. "Illness? What illness?"Instead of answering Ethan, Keith helplessly glanced at Olivia. "You said that you wouldn't regret making this choice, yet this is the person whom you love with all your heart?"Olivia didn't know what kind of past she shared with Ethan, but she was aware that this wasn't what he had tol

Olivia was sent to the emergency room. Chris felt his world crumble when he heard about it. The ominous feelings he had had come true. He immediately took the earliest flight from Aldenvine and went over to her. Outside the emergency room, Ethan was there with his shirt covered in Olivia's blood. But he paid it no mind and his eyes slowly turned bloodshot. Brent approached Ethan cautiously. After hesitating, he said, "Mr. Miller, I got someone to go to the hospital Keith used to work at to retrieve Mrs. Miller's medical record."Ethan stood with his hands behind his back and a cold expression on his face. He had been deep in thought until Brent spoke to him.Brent handed him the medical reports. There were two of them. "The first report contains the results of the tests done when Mrs. Miller fainted while caring for Mr. Fordham. Keith suspected that she had a tumor in her stomach, so he performed an endoscopy on her and discovered it was Stage Three stomach cancer. "The s

Olivia's test results came out quickly, and it was indeed Stage Four cancer. The worst thing was that it had already spread to her head. There was an early-stage malignant tumor in her head. After a consultation gathering of various oncology experts, the consensus was similar to Keith's opinion. They also advised against treatment.Ethan's gaze was cold. "You haven't even given it a shot. Why would you just give up?"The head of the hospital wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Mr. Miller, cancer is unlike any other illness. If it had been discovered earlier, we could just remove it surgically. "But Mrs. Miller is already in the terminal stage. You saw how extensive the tumor was. It doesn't meet the requirement for surgical removal. We've also discovered a tumor in her head, where there's a lot of cranial nerves, so surgery is also ill-advised."The head of the hospital noticed Ethan's expression growing colder. He quickly added, "There is also the option of conservative

"Mr. Miller, chemotherapy is like fighting fire with fire. The treatment would destroy cancer cells and regular cells indiscriminately. Mrs. Miller's condition is very serious now. Cancer cells paired with the side effects of chemotherapy might be the end of her …"Ethan lowered his head and said hoarsely, "That will never happen. Liv won't die!"Chris didn't know how to comfort Ethan. Their only option at the moment was to pray for a miracle. After a night of emergency treatment, Olivia's condition stabilized, but she was still in bad shape. She was very frail. The doctors repeatedly advised against chemotherapy because she might not be able to take it. Ethan looked at an unconscious Olivia. He didn't know what to do, but he had no choice but to hold off on chemotherapy. Suddenly, Kelvin rushed over to Ethan. "Mr. Miller, bad news! I heard something had happened to Mr. Avery.""What?""It seems like his illness acted up. He was sent to a private hospital in the middle of the

Ethan went back to the master bedroom and headed straight to the shower. He turned on the water and walked under it before it turned warm. The cold water rained down on him, but his heart felt colder. He thought about the night two years ago. He had tied Olivia in the bathroom and splashed her with cold water. So the water was this chilling. He wondered how much despair she must have felt. Whenever he thought about Olivia, Ethan felt endless remorse. Every punishment he had inflicted on Olivia became knives that stabbed him right in the heart. All the love he had for Olivia turned into remorse. Brent quickly came into the bedroom and walked to the bathroom door. The lights in the bathroom were not on and he could barely make out Ethan's silhouette through the lights outside. He saw Ethan sitting against the wall, head tilted as the water fell onto his face. The bloodied shirt clung to his body tightly. He looked desolated and in despair. Brent shut the door quietly an
