Chapter 319
A few months ago, Ethan started feeling uneasy for some reason. He feared that Olivia’s sudden
weight loss was due to an illness.
Because of that, he gave her a full-body checkup. However, the results indicated that she didn’t have
any serious illnesses. Seeing that she was taking pills, Ethan couldn’t help but feel anxious. By then,
Olivia had already swallowed the pill.
She took a huge gulp of warm water. Then, she wiped her slightly wet mouth with a tissue.
It was only then that she pulled her hand out of his grasp.
“It’s stomach medicine.”
“Right,” Ethan thought, “She has stomach problems. She already mentioned it last time.”
Frowning, he said, “I’ll call a doctor here tomorrow.”
“I’ve already had a checkup, and you’ve seen the results, right? I’m perfectly fine!”
When Olivia said that, a sneer flashed across her face.
She remembered the look on Ethan’s face when she had a checkup that day.
Before then, she had told him a few times that she was ill. But Ethan simply mocked her.
So, she refused to waste her efforts and explain anything to him. He might think that she was seeking
attention agam.
Ethan lowered his head to look at the pill bottle in her hands. There weren’t any labels on it.
“Why didn’t this medicine have any qualification certificates?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia said calmly, “The dosage per bottle is too few. I found it troublesome, so I put several doses in a
larger bottle.”
Colin had specially gotten her the medicine, and he even told her to take the medicine regularly.
Ethan couldn’t find any faults with her explanation. Olivia was already heading out.
“Can I go and rest now?”
Ethan parted his lips. In the end, he couldn’t utter a word.
Now, Olivia wouldn’t chat with him or care about his emotions. She wouldn’t argue with him, either.
She lost her sunshine, and she also lost her stormy emotions.
She was like a puddle of stagnant water and refused to even struggle.
Ethan felt even worse when he saw Olivia like that. He would rather Olivia hit him and shout at him.
He didn’t want her to treat him coldly and stay quiet.
She behaved like a stranger around him.
Olivia had a shower. Perhaps because she had slept for too long last night, she wasn’t sleepy at all.
Putting a coat on, she was ready to go on a walk.
The island was decorated nicely, even at night. The lights hanging from the cherry trees looked like
lanterns.
She also saw hydrangeas yet to bloom by the roadside. Various string lights looked like vines as they
hung from the branches.
The island only had harmless animals like squirrels and hares.
There were no wild beasts, so the place was quite safe.
Olivia strolled along the beach. She felt at ease when she listened to the waves lapping against the
shore.

Like a loyal guard, Snowball kept close to her.
Olivia did like this place.
It wasn’t completely identical to the scene she had envisioned, but it resembled at least 90% of her
vision.
He had truly built a deserted island that belonged only to her.
If she didn’t have any grudges or longings, she could live here until the day she died.
Olivia’s mind was filled with questions.
“How many days will it take Dad to arrive on the island? Will his surgery be okay? What exactly
happened on the night Leia died? Is Jack still alive?”
Bound by worldly ties, Olivia felt uneasy.
That person had manipulated her for so many years, but there was nothing she could do.
She didn’t want to stay here.
Even if Aldenvine was full of dangers, she only wanted to catch the mastermind. If not, she couldn’t
even live in peace.
Suddenly, Snowball stopped walking ahead of her. It carefully examined a small bug crawling on a
hydrangea leaf.
The bug’s rear glinted with a green light.
The bug then took flight and landed on Snowball’s nose. Snowball had never seen a bug like this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbefore.
Breathing quietly, it stared earnestly at the firefly on its nose.
Olivia was confused. Fireflies shouldn’t be out and about at that time of the year.
Turning around, she noticed many more fireflies dotting the path at the side. Taking Snowball with her,
she changed direction.
When she got to the steps, she noticed a huge swarm of fireflies flying out of the woods.
It was a firefly carnival.
The hundreds of fireflies looked like reflections of the galaxy.
They lit up the place, making it look even more beautiful than a haven.
Olivia was so stunned at the scene that she forgot to breathe. She didn’t even dare to move lest it
disturb the beautiful
creatures.
Then, Ethan walked over with a special lantern in his hand. The lantern was made of glass, so the
glowing fireflies in the lantern could be seen from outside.
He was wearing a white shirt. Like the male lead of a comic, he walked over to her.
“Liv, this is the firefly lantern you wanted.”
The fireflies danced around him, their soft glows softening his sharp look. He looked gentler and
warmer now.
Olivia looked at him, stunned. All this felt like a dream to her.
“Ethan, you…”
Holding her slightly chilly hand, Ethan spoke slowly.
“Liv, I’ve never forgotten a word you said.”
