Blood splattered before Olivia's eyes, reminding her of the day Mona died.She froze on the spot, her eyes suddenly widening.It felt like a dream. Snowball was curled up in her arms just this morning, but now, it was lying at her feet, dying. Black blood flowed out of its mouth and nose.Olivia crouched stiffly. She had to be dreaming."Snowy, p-please tell me you're joking." Olivia's voice trembled as her tone shifted. Reaching out, she wanted to hug Snowball, but Ethan pulled her into his arms."Don't touch it, Liv. Snowball was poisoned."The blood that flowed out of its body wasn't crimson but black.Olivia couldn't consider those things right now. She threw herself at Snowball at the risk of her own life. "Snowy, wake up! Open your eyes and look at me!""Liv!" Ethan hugged her tight with both arms, stopping her from touching Snowball's body.Sharon was quick to react. She hastily got someone to clear up Snowball's body.But like a crazed woman, Olivia stomped toward Mar

After what happened with Snowball, Olivia was deeply shocked. Since then, she had been drained of all energy, and the positive changes from before were completely gone.Ethan was anxious when he saw that, but he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't endure the pain in Olivia's stead, be it physical or mental pain.Olivia was getting weaker by the day, and there was still no news of Colin. Ethan was anxious and panicking.On top of that, Olivia also refused to see Ethan. He could only check in on her by looking through the glass outside the door and asking the doctor about her.These days, Olivia would just lie in bed and wipe her tears most of the time. Sharon and Janice took turns to persuade her, but it wasn't very effective.She was suffering from a mental illness, so even the best doctors couldn't cure it.Janice patted Ethan on the shoulder. "Mental illnesses require mental healing. Olivia has lost her will to live. You should mentally prepare yourself."Everyone told

With trembling hands, Ethan picked up the wedding ring and the letter. The act of opening a letter was so simple, but his hands kept trembling as if he had Parkinson's.Brent said in a low voice, "Mr. Miller, let me do it."It didn't matter that much whether he read the letter or not. Everyone had already guessed the ending.Still, Ethan took out the letter in terror and agony. The familiar handwriting came into sight.In the past, she would write him letters in secret when he was out on business trips. She didn't know the address, so she would put the words she wanted to say into a bottle and then bury it in the garden.After he discovered it by accident, every time he came back, the first thing he would do was to go to that secret hole and dig around to check if there was new mail.Back then, she wrote like an adorable teenage girl. But this letter was different. Not many words were written on it, but every stroke conveyed farewell."Ethan, it's too painful to live. I don't wa

Once again, Ethan went back to the sea. Kelvin and Brent looked exhausted. They had shifts, but they hadn't rested much in the past few days. There were dark circles under their eyes.They were all too aware of how important Olivia was to Ethan. They had added countless men to this operation, and they were using all their resources to look for Olivia.When they saw Ethan, they hastily went up to him. "Mr. Miller."Ethan's eyes were red. He was wearing a black suit, but he didn't look as upright as he used to be. He looked more haggard instead.When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse. "Did you find anything?"Brent shook his head. "Not for now. The area Mrs. Miller disappeared in is a little complicated. Back then, she encountered an offshore current, and she was brought far out to sea."The area over there happens to be a fault zone, and it's more than 300 feet deep. The visibility isn't too great either, so it's more difficult to salvage anything there."Ethan clenched his

Brent said, "I feel like you've changed, Mr. Miller.""In the past, I always thought that my arrangements were the best decisions for her. But in reality, I've hurt her time and again. Moreover, it's not a bad thing for Liv to fake her death."She can fool me and also her enemy, so this can indeed be the safest route for her. She doesn't have to constantly worry about being assassinated."Brent said, "So, Mr. Miller, other than putting on this act to deceive Mrs. Miller, you're also trying to fool the enemy.""Only then can we have more time to investigate. This is the time when that person will let down their guard. But before that, I have something to do.""What is it?""I have to clear some obstacles."News of Olivia dying from her incurable disease quickly spread. Olivia's funeral was held tonight, and almost everyone from the upper-class society attended it.Janice's eyes were red. She quite liked this daughter-in-law of hers, but sadly, Olivia passed away too early.Haro
