Chapter 747
Gentle sunlight shone in through the window. Ethan had his back to the light, and the sunlight coated him with a gentle golden glow.
His firm features appeared much gentler as well. He sat there quietly, and tiny dust particles danced
around him.
At that moment, it seemed like they had gone back in time to when they first met each other.
In just a few years, they could no longer return to who they once were.
Long silence replaced their rare greetings. Ethan wasnât confident at all.
âDid you remember everything?â
âYes.â
Oliviaâs expression had changed. It was resolute and cold. She spoke up straight away.
âEthan. If you still have the tiniest shred of conscience left, let me go.â
A bitter and exasperated smile appeared on Ethanâs lips. As expected, after she regained her memories,
the first thing she wanted was to get away from him.
âLiv, I know that you hate me. But your body is not in a good condition right now.
Itâs not that I donât want to let you go, but I simply canât. I promise, when youâve gotten better, Iâll let you go.
âBut for now, you have to cooperate and get treatment.â
Olivia sneered. âIf I can truly get better, will you let me go?â
Her questioning was startling. It was as if Ethan knew her very well, and she also had a thorough
understanding of Ethanâs character.
If she werenât this close to death, he wouldnât have recovered her memories. Even if there truly came a
day when she got better, it would be even less likely for him to let her go.
âYes.â
Ethan leaned in, gazing into her eyes as he said slowly, âAs long as you stay alive, I can let you go.â
He then changed his tone. âBut not now. Your body is very weak, and you have to rest and recuperate in
the Miller residence. You must be hungry. Iâll ask Sharon to-â

Olivia interrupted him without hesitation. âEthan, I donât ask for anything else. Just let me goâ¦â
Ethan paused for a moment in his footsteps. But then, he hastened his pace.
He had gently closed the door. Olivia lay quietly on the bed, all alone. The huge Miller residence was like
a cage that bound her here.
She didnât deny the fact that Ethan loved her a lot, but his love was like chains tightly binding her. She
couldnât run away nor breathe in those chains.
Even though she had recovered her memories, she didnât feel any better. Olivia felt like a flower slowly
wilting.
Perhaps fearing that he might upset her, Ethan disappeared again. Sharon came in with some food. âHow
are you feeling, Mrs. Miller?â
âI want to see Dr. Rogers.â
âAlright, Iâll call him over right away.â
Keith hurried over. âAre you feeling uncomfortable again?â
Olivia looked at him quietly. âLong time no see, Keith.â
The look in her eyes had changed. Keith instantly realized what was going on. âDo you remember
everything now, Olivia?â
âYes. Keith, how much longer do I have to live?â
To prevent her from overthinking, Ethan didnât tell her the truth. Olivia herself felt that her days were
numbered.
âDonât think about those things, Olivia.â
âJust give it to me straight, Keith. Iâm prepared.â
âTwo weeks to a month at most.â
Keith sighed. âThe chemo session this time wasnât very effective. The cancer cells in your body are very active, and there are even signs of them spreading and diffusing.â
âTwo weeks, you say?â
A cold look flashes across Oliviaâs eyes. But she didnât want to die.
She still hadnât figured out the identity of the culprit who had killed her children. How could she die now?
âDonât feel burdened, Olivia. You have to depend on your immune system to deal with cancer.
âTwo years ago, youâve also survived it on your own, right? You should believe in yourself.â
âThank you, Keith.â

Olivia thought about the medicine Colin once gave her. She wondered if it was still on that island.
Even though there was a very slim chance of her surviving, she had to cling to that hope.
