Chapter 544
The night had fallen when Olivia regained consciousness. She heard cries coming from the corridor.
Fighting through the grogginess, she opened her eyes. She didn’t move.
She stared at the ceiling with hollow eyes instead.
Everything felt like a dream. The haze in her mind rendered it surreal.
Ethan gazed at her with bloodshot eyes. His voice was very hoarse. “Liv, you’re awake.”
From his haggard face alone, it was easy for Olivia to tell that he had been looking after her for days and nights consecutively without sleep.
She had received IV drips for the past few days. She didn’t eat anything.
He would press damp cotton bugs on her lips whenever they were chap.
Olivia almost couldn’t part her lips when she regained consciousness. She spoke with her eyes instead.
“What do you want? Are you thirsty or hungry? Tell me.”
“I’m thirsty…”
Elated that she finally made a request, he rose from his seat.
However, his sudden action incurred a pang of dizziness because he hadn’t rested or eaten anything for days.
His tall stature was suddenly falling downward.
Fortunately, Ethan was quick enough to hold onto the table to support himself before falling.
Despite his heart-wrenching state, he hurried to the table to pour a glass of warm water for Olivia without a rest.
She noticed that the clothes on him were the same ones he wore a few days ago.
Obviously, he hadn’t left her side after she fainted that night.
“Slow down, Liv. Don’t choke yourself.” He was wearing distinct dark circles beneath his eyes and a stubble of beard around his jaw.
How was this haggard man the Ethan she knew?
Ethan was the prominent man who was always in his suit and could turn a place upside down with a lift of a finger.
He was treating her carefully, more carefully than before.
Olivia’s throat was so dry that it hurt. So, she kept quiet and drank the water.
After feeding her half a glass of water, he wiped her mouth with a tissue.
He caressed her cheeks as his eyes expressed sorrow.
