Leia stopped Kelvin. "We need her alive. If she''s telling the truth, Olivia''s life is bound with hers. Both of


    them will die together."


    He threw the bucket away and flopped on the staircase. "Just what is all this, Ms. Miller? Mr. Miller has


    had it tough winning Mrs. Miller''s heart back. Don''t make me bring up those years she went missing.


    "Every single day felt so long for him. They love each other so much, but everything keeps getting in


    their way. And the bad guys are free out there."


    "I know. I understand. I know more than you do how much Ethan loves Olivia. I''m the reason they


    ended up this way. I want Jacqueline dead more than you do. She lied to me for so long, making me


    hurt Olivia. But what''s done is done. We can''t do anything. All we can do is to keep Jacqueline alive


    and wait."


    Kelvin''s eyes were red. Thest time he was this upset was the time Ethan was poisoned. No doctors


    could save him, and death was waiting ahead of him. Ethan managed to survive it, but now, it was


    Olivia''s turn. It hadn''t even been a year!


    He looked at Ethan, who was standing by the door. Wordlessly, Ethan was paying attention to every


    noise from inside the room.


    His face was solemn.


    That jittery and careful side of him felt so foreign. The past Ethan had never been like this.


    Just why couldn''t things work out for this couple?


    Brent quietly smoked a piece of cigarette in a corner. He broke the suffocating silence, saying, "Make


    something for Jacqueline. Ms. Miller is right. We need her alive."


    Jacqueline was injured beforeing here. The arduous journey to the vigested for a day and a


    night, and


    Pshe was now barely hanging on to herst breath.


    Despite the reluctance, Kelvin did as he was told.


    When the door was finally opened, Ethan rushed into the room. "Madam Wendy, how''s Liv doing?"


    Wendy''s forehead was drenched with sweat. No one knew what she had done, but she seemed


    exhausted. "She didn''t lie. It is the Lifebond Curse."

    His feet staggered backward. "This means Liv''s life is bound with Jacqueline''s? If Jacqueline''s dead..."


    "That''s right." Wendy sympathized.


    "Why did you offend such a powerful witch? This curse is normally used on a partner to ensure their


    loyalty to the rtionship, but that witch has restructured the form of the curse. This curse is


    stronger."


    "It''s a long story. I''ll keep you in the loopter, Madam Wendy. Is there any other way to lift the curse off


    Liv? Since Jacqueline is here, can''t we lift it off them together?"


    She let out a helpless smile. "It doesn''t think a that way. What do you think a curse is? It''s more


    "What if we break it by force?"


    "The poison will be reactive and ruin her organs."


    "So, the only way to save Olivia is to find the witch?"
