Even After Death

Wayne tried to explain himself, saying, "I just wanted to give her some candies because she looks cute."

Knowing that he wasn't a lowly man who would hurt her daughter, Olivia was certain that he was the backup Ethan called over. But Wayne was as reckless as usual. He almost ruined her plan! If Jacqueline and Alexander had found out about his presence, things would've gone south.

That was why Olivia gave him the cold treatment. She looked at him like he was a stranger. "No need for that, thanks."

She carried Willow and strode away. "Stay away from strangers. They kidnap kids," she warned intentionally for Wayne to catch on the situation.

He was rendered speechless. Although he was aware of her intention, he couldn't help the disappointment. Only he knew that he couldn't sleep the previous night thinking about their reunion. Alan put down the binoculars. "He's gonna cry. Look at him. He looks lonely."

"Serves him right. Why is he so concerned about someone else's wife and child?" Ike bit a piece of grass.

Alan glared at him. "You're never gonna find yourself a wife with that sharp tongue and heart of steel."

"The divorce rate is high these days. Even if I found one, she could become someone else's wife in the future. I might as well save myself from the hassle."

Alan was at a loss for words.

Jacqueline woke up on the balcony, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She was able to have a good night's sleep by Alexander's side. "What are you looking at?"

He withdrew his gaze from Olivia and Willow. "Nothing."

Perhaps he was overthinking it. It seemed like the man wanted to play with Willow because she looked cute.

"Feeling better?"

Jacqueline shook her head. "Everywhere hurts."

"Just hold on. I'll skin those bastards alive. None of them can get away from this after hurting you." He caressed her brows affectionately. "I'll avenge you, Jacqueline."

"Ethan isn't an easy opponent. He

and Olivia brought along their child, so I'm worried that he's hiding. something up his sleeves. Once we lift the curse, we should run away. Revenge can wait," she suggested.

"Don't worry. I have everything planned. But you're out of shape. You need rest."

Jacqueline enjoyed sunbathing for the next few days on the island. Her wounds were recovering under Alexander's meticulous ministration.

Ethan found it weird. "Considering her severe injuries, she's recovering too quickly."

Olivia fanned herself languidly. "Alexander's & witch. Of course, he knows some black magic to help her recover. It's good news for us, don't you think? The faster she recovers, the sooner I can be freed from the curse. You'd better watch out. He's not that simple." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Okay."

"I'll go check on Willow." She got up from the leaning chair.

Opposite them was Alexander giving Jacqueline a massage session like a loving partner.

Only two people had shown up so

far, but Olivia's hunch was telling her that someone was approaching Alexander secretly. Willow was on a mission to track that person down.

Olivia strolled along the corridor when someone suddenly appeared at the corner. She didn't have time to hide!

The person grabbed her waist, bringing her to the room next to them.

Before she could react, the door was already locked!

"I've been looking for you, Dr. Fordham." The man's breath touched her ear.
