Chapter 721
Ethan went back to the master bedroom and headed straight to the shower. He turned on the water andwalked 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 coldwater. So the water was this chilling.novelbin
He wondered how much despair she must have felt.
Whenever he thought about Olivia, Ethan felt endless remorse. Every punishment he had inflicted onOlivia became knives that stabbed him right in the heart. All the love he had for Olivia turned intoremorse.
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 thelights outside.
He saw Ethan sitting against the wall, head tilted as the water fell onto his face. The bloodied shirt clungto his body tightly.
He looked desolated and in despair.
Brent shut the door quietly and gave Ethan the space to lick his wounds. He then went to the balconyand lit up a cigarette.
Even as a bystander, he felt bad for Ethan. He couldn’t even imagine the despair Ethan must be feeling.
“Brent, do you think Mrs. Miller will…” Kelvin asked in a whisper.
Both of them knew how important Olivia was to Ethan. What would happen to Ethan if she was gone?
Brent snuffed out his cigarette and sighed silently. He made sure Ethan wasn’t in the vicinity beforesaying, “It’s hard to say. If it was Stage One, even Two or Three, the survival rate would be pretty high.But for Stage Four cancer, the cancer cells have already started to spread. She … probably won’t makeit.”
“What do we do? If she dies, Mr. Miller’s life would become hell.”
“Let’s not lose hope yet. If Toxic Hive can manufacture a drug that induces memory loss, there might still
be a way to save Mrs. Miller.”
Although Brent was trying to perk Kelvin up, they both knew Olivia’s condition was beyond horrible. Theonly way she could survive was if a miracle happened.
By the time Brent went downstairs, Ethan had already freshened up. He looked cold as usual, but hisbloodshot eyes gave away how he was really feeling.
“Good news, Mr. Miller. We’ve got news about Colin’s whereabouts, Seems like he has been doingresearch for cancer treatments in the past year or so. He might have known about Mrs. Miller’s illness fora long time.”
“Where is he?” Ethan quickly asked.
“A month ago, he left Toxic Hive’s base alone and went to Vochmead Mountain. Reliable sources say hisresearch is in its final stages. He just needs a rare herb as a final ingredient.”
“Do we have an approximate location?”
Brent shook his head. “No, we don’t.”
The light in Ethan’s eyes dimmed. “Vochmead Mountain is located within the Faramir Plateau. Its lengthis over 1500 miles, and its total area is about 19 thousand square miles. There are also plenty of dangerzones with restricted entry. People rarely come out of there alive. How do we find him?”
Brent said, “It’s at least another ray of hope. He’s been there for a month. Maybe he has found the herbhe’s looking for.”
“Brent. I’ll leave this to you. Send people to locate Colin.” Ethan ordered.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Miller. I’ve already set some people on it.”
“It’s not enough. Even special forces soldiers have a hard time dealing with acute mountain sickness. Setup a heavy bounty for the locals, tell them we’re looking for a missing person. Someone is bound to betempted by the money.”
“Understood, Mr. Miller.”
“Any updates on Avery?” Ethan asked.
“Not yet.”
“If you can’t contact him, try contacting the other Fordham. They still owe Liv a favor.”
“Yes, Mr. Miller,” Brent said as he went to carry out Ethan’s orders.
Meanwhile, Kelvin stood next to Ethan and said, “What do we do with Darrell, Mr. Miller?”
Ethan flexed his wrist. He had forgotten all about Darrell.
