Chapter 1022

The two of them were entangled on the floor. Ethan, who was in disarray, struggled to get up. He onlymade his condition worse.

He used to be a calm and composed man, but he lost his cool when it came to Olivia.

The more cautious he was, the more it made matters worse.

Don’t move. I'll handle it," Olivia said resignedly.

She understood how he felt. When she found out she didn't have long to live, she was also depressedfor some time.

She even considered suicide.

No one would be able to take it if they were suddenly thrust into such a situation.

Olivia calmed him down to prevent him from making matters worse. Then, she brought him some dryclothes.

"There's a shirt and a pair of pants. Can you change into them yourself?"

"I can, but I can't tell the front from the back."

’Never mind. I'll do it for you."

It wasn't the first time she had seen his body. Olivia didn't care anymore. She reached for the tie on hiswaist and removed his bathrobe.

Ethan's back was riddled with scars. Those were the ones he got from saving her over three years ago.

Olivia could still remember everything that happened vividly.novelbin

She was shocked that so many years had passed. Time was indeed terrifying.

She wiped his face and body with a clean towel. He remained still and allowed her to do whatever sheneeded to do.

That was something that never would have happened in the past.

After all, Ethan was a proud man. He was used to doing everything by himself.

He had kept his true nature hidden at the beginning of their relationship. They were so close, but shedidn't know him at all.

She would only feel that he was actually there with her when they shared intimate moments.

It was completely different then. At the moment, Ethan was basically offering her his heart, but shedidn't care anymore.

No one had helped him shave in the past few days. There was some stubble on his chin, and his hairwas longer.

Also, since he was poisoned, he had a more rugged look to him.

Ethan had taken off the bandages on his eyes. He could roughly see Olivia's silhouette. He wondered ifher gaze was as gentle as the moonlight that was shining on them.

He subconsciously reached out and touched her hand. With quivering lips, he murmured, "Liv ..."

The moonlight shone on them peacefully. The atmosphere was perfect.

Olivia fell into his embrace after he tugged at her lightly. He gently lifted her chin with his fingers andkissed her.

She was the woman that had always been on his mind. He had suffered through countless sleeplessnights only with memories of her to keep him company.

But at that very moment, she was right in front of him.

He was like a traveler in the desert who had finally found the oasis.

Ethan was very gentle. He was afraid that he would wake up from this dream.

Olivia wanted to push him away, but she didn’t. Her body had also been yearning for his touch.

The image of him jumping into the pit kept playing in her mind. It was truly unbelievable.

She placed her arms on his chest and was about to push him away.

Then, she saw all the scars he had on his body, and the force behind her push softened.

Ethan's movements were very tender like he was holding the most precious treasure in the world. Nowoman would be able to reject such tenderness.

He was like a fish out of water, and she was like the ocean. "Liv, I really can't live without you anylonger."
