Chapter 979
When Ethan heard those words, 10 seconds had already passed.
A long time ago, he promised Olivia that he would watch the sunrise with her on every significantmountain in the country.
Back then, he was very busy. Even if he sincerely wanted to spend time with her, he couldn’t squeezeout any time.
He had delayed it, but now, it would never happen. He thought, “Liv, am I being punished for notkeeping my promise to you? Is that why I can’t see you for one last time before I die?”
Like a wizened old man, he slowly turned his head. He realized that when he lost his sight, he wasn’tseeing just darkness.
Instead, he couldn’t see any color.novelbin
Amid the void, he felt like he saw a patch of golden yellow.
That must be the sunrise.
It was supposed to be an extremely harsh color for the eyes. But for him, it felt like a filter was placedover his eyes.
He was like a fire about to be put out by the wind, weak and flickering.
He couldn’t hear the breeze anymore. He was slowly losing his senses.
He parted his lips, and he felt like he had said something but also nothing at all.
Before he lost all his senses, he felt like he had heard the bells ringing for one last time.
Oh, right, it was that girl.
Willow.
Ethan slowly moved his body, depending on his sixth sense, to walk toward Willow.
His whole body was trembling. Even the small act of shifting his body had become wishful thinking.
But he didn’t give up. Before he lost consciousness, Ethan only had one thought in his mind.
Perhaps fate had decreed that he would die without his children being there for him.
Willow looked a little like Olivia, so he would treat her like his own daughter. He would like to hug herbefore he died.
The toxins slowly invaded his body and organs, but human potential was limitless.
Kelvin was sobbing so hard that his eyes were red and swollen. “What is Mr. Miller trying to do?”
“Let him be free for one last time. Brent stopped him.
The mountain breeze chilled the tears on their faces, but Ethan couldn’t feel that breeze anymore.
His knees were trembling violently, and every movement seemed to suck up all his energy.
Even so, Ethan didn’t give up. Gritting his teeth, he took one step and then another.
The child was standing in the light.
He should be able to hold her soon.
It was a distance he could have reached within a second, but Ethan spent minutes, or even longer thanthat.
Willow had her back to him. A flock of pigeons flew in along with the mountain breeze. A speckledpigeon landed on her fingertips and cooed.
Willow’s eyes lit up. Mom was back!
She whipped around only to see Ethan walking unsteadily and shakily toward her.
Willow was stunned. Ethan looked like a zombie.
He looked like he had lost his soul, but he was walking solely by will.
He reached out, trying to touch Willow.
But his body wavered, and he almost fell.
“Mr. Miller!” Everyone called out to him.
Kelvin knelt on the ground. He had no idea what exactly Ethan wanted to do.
He heard that people would recall their lives before they died. Perhaps Ethan was dreaming, and hismost beloved was in that dream.
No one wanted to interrupt his dream in his last moments.
Perhaps he could die peacefully in his wonderful dream, and he could leave without any pain.
It was already quite cruel for the living. They couldn’t do anything for him. They could only watch as theevents unfolded.
Ethan couldn’t hear their voices. Was it just him?
He felt like his vision was getting brighter, and he saw the teenage Olivia smiling as she looked at him.
“I’m here for you, Ethan.”
Yes, he had killed the young woman who loved him with all her heart.
It wasn’t a bad thing. They could be together in the future.
“Liv, I’ll be right there…”
