Olivia fainted so suddenly that Ethan couldn't register the situation yet. All he could do was to make assumptions. She had been the enemy's target since the beginning.
Willow ran toward Olivia's side. The intense ringing bell gave away how anxious she was. Ethan darted to reach Olivia. He didn't know spells, so he didn't know what to do at this time. All he could do was stand right there. He tried to touch her with his hands, but he soon withdrew them.
"Willow, w-what happened to your mother?" His voice trembled in concern.
A pale-faced Olivia lay on the floor as though she was sleeping.
While Willow was still checking on Olivia, Jacqueline suddenly blurted from behind, "Stop wasting your time. Olivia's gonna be gone for good!"
She could've just stayed silent. Now that she had spoken up, Ethan turned his head and glared at her. Before she could react, he grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall. The iron chains rattled as the back of her head hit the wall.
Her head began spinning. The world was turning upside down before her as well.
She opened her eyes. The moment she saw Ethan's eyes, which were brimming with resentment, Jacqueline knew that she was dead meat unless she spilled the beans.
"Ethan Miller, if you kill me, don't think of saving Olivia anymore. She and I are under the same curse—the Lifebond Curse. There's only one person who can lift it in this world."
When she said that, she could feel him relaxing his hand around her neck a little.
She licked her blood-stained lips before explaining, "There's another name to it, Love Curse. It was used during the old times. It was formulated for women to punish their partner who betrayed them.
"But the curse was modified. When it's cast on two people, their fates are bound to each other. If one dies, the other one dies too. If you kill me, Olivia will die too. Do you know what will happen then?"
