Chapter 40


    Now, the man who was willing to spend half a year nurturing a rose garden for her because of


    something she said, was no longer willing to spend a few days with her outside of the country.


    When He loved her, he was head over heels. Now that he didn’t, he was unsympathetic.


    Olivia gently tugged the corner of his shirt and begged, “I don’t have much time left. Can you give it to


    me, please?”


    “Olivia, don’t take advantage of the situation.” He looked at her coldly. He assumed she was referring to


    the month they agreed on. He didn’t even hesitate to reject her idea.


    “Am I taking advantage of the situation?” Olivia mocked. “You think you’re wasting your time with me?


    You’re preparing for your engagement, aren’t you?”


    The tips of Ethan’s slender fingers gently tapped on the surface of the table. He coolly looked in her


    direction and said, “I told you I was getting engaged.”


    Although his face remained expressionless, Olivia could see the challenge in his eyes.


    She was the one who begged for the month. She deserved it.


    She looked at him silently, then smiled. “Pardon my wishful thinking. Sorry to bother you.”


    Olivia opened the door and left. Then, a man’s voice called out from behind her. “Pick somewhere


    local.”


    She stopped in her tracks, and her face was filled with excitement. “Let’s go to Mohe.”All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Olivia left delightedly! There was a lower chance of seeing the auroras in Mohe Town, but having him


    spend herst days with her was enough for her.


    It waste into the night. He slept beside her. Olivia wasn’t asleep. She curled her body carefully. It was


    as if there was a sea between both of them.


    She didn’t dare get too close to him, afraid he would notice the wound on her arm.


    He immediately faced the other side when he got in bed and had no intention of paying attention to her.


    Olivia quietly looked out the window into the night, struggling to fall asleep.


    He left for work early the next day. Olivia kept herself busy. She was hoping to atone for her father


    during herst days. She followed the address in the document and went to a psychiatric hospital to


    visit one of the victims, Belle Sanders.


    ce like


    She was sent there two years ago due to her tendency toward self–harm. This was the first time Olivia


    had visited this. It was quieter than normal hospitals with the asional sight of security guards


    wearing protective gear. It was as if the ce would go to war anytime.


    The nurse who was bringing her up to Belle’s room repeatedly reminded Olivia to maintain a certain


    distance from the patient.


    Belle had a roommate. She saw Olivia and started giggling. Belle was a quiet girl. Her long hair rested


    over the number on her gown. She was hugging her knees as she looked out the window; her eyes


    were lifeless.


    “Belle.” Olivia gently called for her. She had met Belle once previously at an innovationpetition.


    She was full of vigor, and her eyes were radiant back then.


    The person on the bed moved and turned curiously toward Olivia. Before Olivia could speak, she


    grabbed her hand and shushed her, saying, “Keep it down. Someone is trying to take my baby.”


    Olivia looked at the pillow in her arm. She didn’t want to trigger her so she nodded and asked, “Who is


    trying to take your baby?”


    “Tap, tap, tap.” The sound of high heels resounded in the hallway. Belle was so terrified of the sound


    that she hid behind the curtains, shivering.


    “She’s here. She’s here to take my baby!”


    Before Olivia could speak, a woman in a whiteb coat and a nametag on her chest that said ‘director‘


    stood at the entrance. She said fiercely, “Belle’s mental state is clinically unstable. She does not have


    the capacity to entertain guests. Miss Fordham, please leave.”
