Ophelia approached Wayne with ulterior motives, but she genuinely saw him as a patient.
She even prepared his medicine for him before disappearing.
If she were cruel enough to him, he wouldn't have been this unresolved.
Every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Ophelia's face. Just where on earth did she go?
The solemn sky somehow made Olivia restless.
She was afraid that something would come up and they couldn't leave Carathia tomorrow.
Ethan read through her mind and comforted her, "Don't worry, Liv. I'll take you out of here."
It was a rare moment he didn't act up with his naughty hands today.
His arms cloaked her with warmth, and sleepiness found its way to her. She closed her eyes, drifting into dreamland.
Before the sky brightened, he pecked her cheek. "Liv, time to get up. Let's go home."
"Home?" Olivia's eyes shot up as she sprang up from bed. Drowsiness vanished within seconds.
"Yup. We're going home." He caressed her cheek. "Don't worry. I'm by your side. Brent has everything ready."
She nodded and went for a quick bath before leaving alongside Ethan.
When they left the place, a palette of warm hues painted the sky into a breathtaking picture.
Olivia rushed to the car, starting their journey to the airport.
Her heart was racing, and she couldn't stop the random thoughts in her mind.
Her hand clutched Ethan's sleeve out of anxiety. "Ethan, I'm scared."
"Relax. I'm here." He pulled her into his arms, warming her up.
"As I said, no matter what happens, you can trust me. Get some eyeshut. We should arrive at the airport when you wake up."
Her eyes closed, and she could hear the deafening explosion ringing in her ears again. "I wonder how Undecim's doing."
Ethan patted the back of her hand, trying to calm her nerves.
However, whatever she resisted persisted.
Right when she was going to take the stairs, someone called from behind. "I'm afraid you can't leave."
Stillness struck her rivet on the spot. Coldness shrouded her from head to toe.
Did Wayne find out something?
Worrying that she might give it away, Ethan hugged her and turned around.
The mask covered his eyes but revealed his thin lips. "Wayne Maxwell, what game are you trying to play again?"
A troop of men lined up behind Wayne, and Brent led his men forward.
Both parties were dressed in black. The intensity swelled in the air, threatening to reach the boiling point.
Wayne guffawed at Olivia. "Your friend is still in my hand. Are you sure you want to leave?"
