Chapter 721

Ethan went back to the master bedroom and headed straight to the shower. He turned on the water and walked under it before it turned warm.

The cold water rained down on him, but his heart felt colder.

He thought about the night two years ago. He had tied Olivia in the bathroom and splashed her with cold water. So the water was this chilling.

He wondered how much despair she must have felt.

Whenever he thought about Olivia, Ethan felt endless remorse. Every punishment he had inflicted on Olivia becknives that stabbed him right in the heart. All the love he had for Olivia turned into remorse.

Brent quickly cinto the bedroom and walked to the bathroom door.

The lights in the bathroom were not on and he could barely make out Ethan’s silhouette through the lights outside.

He saw Ethan sitting against the wall, head tilted as the water fell onto his face. The bloodied shirt clung to his body tightly.

He looked desolated and in despair.

Brent shut the door quietly and gave Ethan the space to lick his wounds. He then went to the balcony and lit up a cigarette.

Even as a bystander, he felt bad for Ethan. He couldn’t even imagine the despair Ethan must be feeling.

“Brent, do you think Mrs. Miller will…” Kelvin asked in a whisper.

Both of them knew how important Olivia was to Ethan. What would happen to Ethan if she was gone?

Brent snuffed out his cigarette and sighed silently. He made sure Ethan wasn’t in the vicinity before saying, “It’s hard to say. If it was Stage One, even Two or Three, the survival rate would be pretty high. But for Stage Four cancer, the cancer cells have already started to spread. She … probably won’t make it.”

“What do we do? If she dies, Mr. Miller’s life would bechell.”

“Let’s not lose hope yet. If Toxic Hive can manufacture a drug that induces memory loss, there might still

be a way to save Mrs. Miller.”

Although Brent was trying to perk Kelvin up, they both knew Olivia’s condition was beyond horrible. The only way she could survive was if a miracle happened.

By the tBrent went downstairs, Ethan had already freshened up. He looked cold as usual, but his bloodshot eyes gave away how he was really feeling.

“Good news, Mr. Miller. We’ve got news about Colin’s whereabouts, Seems like he has been doing research for cancer treatments in the past year or so. He might have known about Mrs. Miller’s illness for a long time.”

“Where is he?” Ethan quickly asked.

“A month ago, he left Toxic Hive’s base alone and went to Vochmead Mountain. Reliable sources say his research is in its final stages. He just needs a rare herb as a final ingredient.”

“Do we have an approximate location?”

Brent shook his head. “No, we don’t.”

The light in Ethan’s eyes dimmed. “Vochmead Mountain is located within the Faramir Plateau. Its length is over 1500 miles, and its total area is about 19 thousand square miles. There are also plenty of danger zones with restricted entry. People rarely cout of there alive. How do we find him?”

Brent said, “It’s at least another ray of hope. He’s been there for a month. Maybe he has found the herb he’s looking for.”

“Brent. I’ll leave this to you. Send people to locate Colin.” Ethan ordered.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Miller. I’ve already set speople on it.”

“It’s not enough. Even special forces soldiers have a hard tdealing with acute mountain sickness. Set up a heavy bounty for the locals, tell them we’re looking for a missing person. Someone is bound to be tempted by the money.”

“Understood, Mr. Miller.”

“Any updates on Avery?” Ethan asked.

“Not yet.”

“If you can’t contact him, try contacting the other Fordham. They still owe Liv a favor.”

“Yes, Mr. Miller,” Brent said as he went to carry out Ethan’s orders.

Meanwhile, Kelvin stood next to Ethan and said, “What do we do with Darrell, Mr. Miller?”

Ethan flexed his wrist. He had forgotten all about Darrell.
