Chapter 146
At first, Ethan also thought that it was most probably some bold kidnappers. As days passed, he got
less confident about his guess. He feared that it might be his enemies.
He was worried that a box containing their bodies or body parts would show up on his doorstep one
day.
The current situation was like casting a stone into water. There was no reaction, and no one knew what
was happening in the
water.
Ethan’s patience and wits, which he took pride in, began to crumble as time passed.
He didn’t dare fall asleep. Once he did, the bloody scenes he experienced before would have Olivia
and Connor in them.
On the seventh day, Ethan finally copsed. He hadn’t eaten or drunk anything in days, and he didn’t
even sleep.
He watched the surveince footage time and again, so much so that his eyes were bloodshot. The
men he sent out never brought back any useful info either.
On the second day of the new year, Brent found Ethan lying unconscious in the bathroom. He hastily
called over the family doctor.
No one expected that Olivia and Connor would quietly return to Aldenvine at that moment.
Connor simply thought that Olivia was taking him to a new ce to sightsee. He had no idea that after
this trip, they would be separated for life.
Aldenvine had heavy snowfall for the past two days. The tree branches were heavy with snow. Olivia
made a snow rabbit on the bench, and Connor loved it.
This child was extremely adorable. Olivia loved him to bits.
She patted Connor’s head in longing. “Connor, it’s time I say goodbye to you. Go home to your mother.
I hope you grow up
well.”
Connor sensed that something was wrong. Olivia stuffed the string of a hydrogen balloon in his hand,
and the child’s attention was instantly on the balloon.

It was right then that she abandoned the child in a sh.
Connor sensed that she was leaving. Tossing the balloon away, he ran toward her while shouting,
“Mama, Mama …”
He hadn’t taken more than two steps before he fell into the snow. Even so, he didn’t give up.
He didn’t care about the cold snowy ground as he ran toward Olivia with all his might.
He didn’t know what he did wrong that his mother would suddenly abandon him.
“Mommy!” He could only watch as Olivia picked up her pace. Then, she disappeared from his sight.
Madam Burgess heard the cries. She wondered why a child was crying out in the snow.
Following the direction of the sound, she looked at Connor with a shocked expression. “Master
Connor!”
She dared not believe it. Ethan couldn’t find him even after scouring every inch of the city, yet she
found him on her way to get groceries.
“Oh my goodness, Master Connor! If you hade back anyter, your dad would’ve died of anxiety!”
Madam Burgess picked Connor up while she informed Brent that the child had been found.
Olivia left only after seeing that scene.
Ethan had a high fever, and he kept calling Olivia’s name, “Liv, Liv.”
Madam Burgess joyously brought the child back. Tears remained in the child’s eyes.
“Good boy, don’t cry. Go and see your dad.” Madam Burgess wiped the child’s tears away, her heart
breaking.
As if sensing something, Ethan slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Connor, he thought he was
dreaming.
“Daddy.” Connor could already call out to him in a clear voice. Ethan hastily pulled the child into his
embrace.
The joy of recovering a lost child filled his heart. He quickly looked at Madam Burgess. “What
happened?”
pping her thigh, Madam Burgess immediately started describing. “Mr. Miller, I had a dreamst
night.
“I dreamed that I picked up an egg, and guess what was in the egg? Why, it was Master Connor! I
knew then that he would be found soon. In the end…”
Ethan frowned. “That’s way too far back. Get to the point.”
