Even After Death

The willow was a tree that stretched to the heavens while staying rooted in place, and its branches also connected the sky with the ground.

Willow's name was quite special, and it was quite rare these days.

Olivia explained, "Willow is born mute." Perhaps because they were both physically lacking, with Sean's failing legs and Willow unable to speak, Sean easily resonated with her.

"She's still so young.” Sean's gaze was filled with compassion as he looked at Willow.

After all, she was such a young child, but she had never spoken a word.

Willow smiled at him.

She couldn't speak, but her gaze was radiant and gentle.

She didn't look miserable at all.

She signed something.

Sean couldn't understand, so he looked at Olivia.

Olivia explained, "Willow said that even though she can't speak, she feels happy because she has her family who loves her." "Family..." Sean murmured as if he was thinking of something.

Olivia took a step forward.

“You look very tired, Mr.

Sean.

You probably haven't had proper sleep in a long while.

It's getting late, so you should rest." “Sleep? I won't be able to." Sean shook his head.

"Nights like this are the hardest to endure." Aside from taking injections and pills, he never had a night of decent sleep.

If he took injections or pills over long periods, he would slowly rely on them.

Sean didn't want to be useless trash that only relied on medicine, so he forcefully stopped taking medicine.

Since then, his sleep quality had taken a turn for the worse. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

He couldn't sleep all night, and his mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Just a while ago, he even tried to end his own life.

Olivia said gently, "Don't worry, Mr.

Sean.

I have some tricks to counter insomnia." "Can you? I heard from Avery that you're here to cure my legs.

I've talked to many doctors about my insomnia, but nothing worked.

Are you sure you can do it?" Olivia nodded.

"You can give it a try, Mr.

Sean.

The people I've treated before all sang praises of the effectiveness of my methods." The mother- daughter duo was quite unlike the other doctors.

Olivia was here to cure Sean's legs, but she never mentioned a word of it.

Instead, she asked to treat his insomnia.

What sort of doctor would bring their daughter over? Olivia didn't look like a doctor at all.

Instead, she looked like a relative who had come to visit.

The driver said, "Why don't you let Dr.

Fordham have a try, Mr.

Sean? She must have been quite outstanding for Mr.

Avery to ask for her help." “Alright, let's see what you can do.

Many famous doctors have failed, so what can you do?" "May I know where your room is, Mr.

Sean? Can you show me around? It's vital to have a comfortable environment to sleep in." Sean gave Reginald Lind, his caregiver, a look.

Reginald came over and took Sean to his room in his wheelchair.

Because of his failing legs, Sean lived on the ground floor.

As soon as Olivia walked into the room, she saw the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

The field was right outside the windows.

The ocean, with its raging waves, lay in the distance.

It was drizzling outside, and the raindrops pelted on the glass windows.

The room was grayish-white as well.

It looked as lonely as loneliness could be.

Sean was like a wilted flower about to reach the end of its life.

Olivia frowned deeper.

"Show me what you can do, Dr.

Fordham." Olivia retrieved a calming candle and silver needles from her bag.

" Just lie down, Mr.

Sean, and leave the rest to me." "No need for medicine?" "No.

This'll do." The scent of the candle wafted in the air, and it soon filled the whole room.

As Olivia instructed, Sean lay on the bed.

Then, Olivia placed her fingers on his wrist.

Sean was curious about this.

"You know herbal medicine?"
