Chapter 1039

As tears fell onto the letter, Olivia tightened her grip on the paper. She couldn’t control her emotions atall.

“Mrs. Miller, we’ve watched everything you and Mr. Miller went through. I believe that we don’t have totell 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 lasteither. 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? Hewas 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, andhe 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 werein 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 wasfor 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’sinsistence 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’vehad 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 suchcircumstances?

“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 aswell.

“He even had to suffer for his wife and the common people too. He’s only human. He can’t possibly befree from mistakes. “Mrs. Miller, you loved him so much in the past, so why can’t you love him onceagain?”

Cyril’s eyes were red. “Mr. Miller always thinks about you and misses you. He only ever has eyes foryou, 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, hehas left the village alone. What if he’s already-”novelbin

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 towalk 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 hadlived for around a century, but no 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 formof 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 Lilytook 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. Backthen, Isabella’s husband took a fall there, which crippled him. Didn’t Ethan care about his own life atall?
