Chapter 1043

It was only then that Ethan cto his senses. He was so elated that desire clouded his thoughts. Olivia had descended in the heavy rain, so she must have gotten hurt.

“Where are you hurt, Liv?”

Even until now, Olivia’s mind was in a mess. Before this, she went after Ethan without care for anything else. Now that she had bumped into Ethan for real, her face was filled with an awkward expression.

After all, she even spoke harshly to Ethan last night. She was eating her words too soon.

She didn’t know how she should talk to Ethan. Her mind was in a mess, and her heart was even messier.

“I-I’m fine.”

There wasn’t any illumination in the cave, and the light from outside was meager.

It was daytime, but in reality, it wasn’t much different from night.

Fortunately, Ethan was very experienced in survival in the wild. He had gathered lots of firewood before it rained. He hadn’t gotten the chance to use them yet, but now that Olivia was here, they cin handy.

Ethan took out a lighter. Then, he quickly lit the firewood.

A warm glow instantly lit up the dark cave.

Turning around, Ethan studied Olivia. She was wearing a black windproof mountaineering jacket. Her jacket was torn in many spots, and he could faintly see the straps under the jacket.

“Where were you hurt?” he asked again.

Olivia felt that after she had trained herself for so long, she didn’t want to show her weak side to Ethan.

She subconsciously hid her hand behind her. “Why would I be hurt? I’m familiar with the paths on this mountain. I—”

Grabbing her wrist, Ethan pulled her hand out. The sight of her bloody palm caused Ethan’s heart to ache. “Liv!”

“I’m fine. I’m not as weak as you imagine. Minor injuries like this will heal in a few days.”

But Ethan’s eyes turned red. “I’m sorry, I caused you to be hurt again.”

“What are you talking about? I didn’t do it for you. 1-1 just didn’t want you to die here. People might say that I’m a bad doctor. I.. Mm…”

That was the only way Ethan could stop her from saying things she didn’t mean. Even if he were an idiot, he could still figure out Olivia’s true feelings.

Perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry to get Olivia to reconcile with him, he had overlooked the consequences of his actions on her heart.

The troubles weighing on her heart weren’t resolved back then, or perhaps even she wasn’t sure what she truly wanted. He had to give her stfor her to realize that he was being sincere.

Ethan let go of her. “Don’t move. I have a first aid kit here, so I’ll apply sointment for you. It’ll be troublesif your wounds get infected in a place like this.”

Olivia stopped being stubborn. She knew many medicinal herbs, but their effects weren’t as fast as conventional medicine.

She obediently allowed Ethan to clean her wounds. Then, he disinfected them and bandaged them in one go.

He wasn’t a doctor, but he bandaged wounds very quickly. She could see right away that he was used to getting hurt himself.

She subconsciously felt ssympathy for him. Cyril, the kind soul, had put in many good words for him.

Ethan added more firewood to the fire. He even set up a simple grilling rack with branches.

“Your clothes are drenched. You have to take them off and dry them over the fire.”

“It’s okay, I…” Olivia wanted to decline.

But Ethan insisted. “If you’re not taking them off, I’ll do it. You know how quick I am with these things.”

When he saw Olivia pouting, he softened his voice.

“Don’t worry, I brought a down sleeping bag. Get in and rest for a moment. I’ll dry the clothes for you, and they’ll be done in no time.”

It truly was uncomfortable to keep the wet clothes on her. Olivia said exasperatedly, “Fine. Turn around. Don’t look at me.”

When she said that, she regretted it immediately. They had done everything last night, so wasn’t it too late for her to say these things now?

But Ethan was much more obedient compared to last night.” Alright, I won’t look. I have sclothes in my bag, so put them on for the tbeing. They’re clean.”

With that, he got up and went out. “I’ll scatter the insect repellent powder.”
