Divorced To Steal His Heart 17. Start A New Life
…Olivia's POV The hospital’s disinfectant is as pungent and familiar as ever. Living each day well is the most real and important thing. Things are unpredictable and I just want to seize every day and live it to the fullest. The surgeries I performed recently were all very good with no single mistake, so I planned to organize them into files and make them a research topic. And there will be a Symposium that will be held later. “Olivia!” Hearing that familiar voice calling out my name, I looked up to find a face I hadn't seen in many years. Dr. Joanna Lawton. Professor Lawton was my mentor at medical college. I was among the closest students to her. Sadly, we've lost touch for the past few years.“Prof. Lawton! Long time no see!” I stepped forward and gave her a big hug. Time surely flies. The middle-aged woman was now aging with fine lines of wrinkles outlining her face. “Olivia, my favorite student.” The woman chuckled, touching the side of my face. “I can see you have bec

…Olivia's POV Yesterday had been about good news and happiness, and today is one of those sad days full of hesitations.I didn't go to the hospital but headed to the countryside after getting my stuff ready. Saying goodbye is hard especially when this is my first time, after three years, meeting my family again. I hesitated for a few minutes outside my parents’ home as my nervousness kicked in. It has been a long time since I've been home. I'm not sure how my Mom will react to the news about my divorce. It will surely break her heart, but-Sighing deeply, I summoned up courage and entered my mother's flower garden. The various fragrances combined touched my heart, awakening a sense of euphoria and a feeling I'd long forgotten. Those days when I was still little if I wasn't here playing with the butterflies, I'd be at the Wellington’s mansion back in the city visiting with my grandfather. I'll have to admit that my life had been much simpler and carefree while I was still young.

These past few days, I’ve been uneasy.Ever since she sent me that screenshot, I've always wanted to have a good chat with her, to clarify things. And seeing her last night only made things worse.She has blocked all my contacts from her phone. It is unlike her.Olivia had always been gentle and warm and would never have the heart to do so. Was it because she was angry with me? Last time in the hospital, I saw her talent and ability. She is so outstanding in her field, and I actually feel a little proud. However, I also witnessed how other men coveted her. Surely, Olivia's charm is irresistible, but seeing another man openly confess to her incited feelings of hate and abandonment in me. Why did I feel jealous?To this day, my mind kept on playing that scene.Maybe it's because we've been married for long and I've become used to her being my wife. My possessiv

Now I realize that no matter how deep the wound is, time will surely heal it.“Good morning, Dr. Olivia…” A nurse came into my office, her appearance bringing me back to the present.

…Olivia's POV When I returned home that night, the lights were still on.I frowned in confusion, glancing at my wristwatch.Dave should be asleep by now. Maybe the Nanny forgot to turn his room's light off as it shone through the window on the second floor.I entered the building and made my way upstairs, the guilt inside me increasing as I remembered my promise.“Mommy doesn't like me, does she?”I came to a halt in the hallway just outside his room, listening to his conversation with the Nanny. “Dave, that's not true. Your Mom works hard to buy you fancy toys and enroll you in the best school.”“But she broke her promise,” Dave grumbled in his little voice.I bet he wasn't crying.He rarely cried-But, what if-“Your Mom would have returned to cook you dinner as she promised, Dave. Maybe an emergency came up at the hospital,” The Nanny explained.Her words weren't a lie.A while ago, I was ready to leave the hospital when a patient was brought to the emergency room.He'd been att

Dr. Lawton.Why is this my first time hearing his name?And why is the assistant just telling me now?I threw him a deadly look, and he scratched his head and coughed in embarrassment.“Actually, I didn't mean to hide this from you, Sir. I've been trying my best to reach out to Dr. Lawton for the past few months, but despite pulling all strings, I couldn't get access to him. His schedule is packed and the hospital he works at has signed a contract, so-”It would be impossible for outside sources to invite him.Even the government couldn't do anything unless with that hospital’s approval.“Where is the hospital located?” I asked. “It's in Switzerland, Mr. Wellington. But you know-”Transporting my grandfather there is impossible.The Doctors have advised against it as it can worsen his condition.I heaved out a helpless sigh, and after a while, I looked up. “Secure the next flight ticket to Switzerland. I'll go there myself.”I'll do whatever it takes to bring that Doctor here even if

I was in so much haste that I forgot to wear my mask.When I arrived at the hospital, the first set of nurses I bumped into recognized me instantly. “Oh my goodness, am I seeing things?”“Is that Dr. Olivia?” “Dr. Olivia, when did you come back?”“Maybe it's someone that looks like her.

Whatever the Nanny's explanation was, I couldn't pick it properly.I understood what she said, but it's difficult to believe it.Literally, Dave helped those strangers and they kidnapped him in return.I couldn't wait for the morning to come. From the looks of it, those strangers’ destination is here.They're coming to L.A. that's what the Nanny told me.“Ethan! Ethan!” I left my suite and stood in front of the opposite suite, pounding the door incessantly.Ethan didn't answer.He wasn't sleeping, was he? Tired of knocking, I pushed the door open and barged inside to find him fast asleep. The heck! “Ethan!” I shouted his name, my voice trembling with fear as I fought hard not to cry.“Wake up, Ethan! It's an emergency!” I climbed onto the bed and shook him hard. “What's wrong, Olivia?” Ethan groaned, turning his back to me. “It's late. Go to sleep.”“Damnit! Wake up!” I didn't mean to, but punching him was the best way. “You have to wake up. It's an emergency!”“Urgh! What now?” H

Theo's POV I waited for a minute to pass by, wondering if the boy would return immediately.He might have gone outside to check on something. But what, though?At this time of the night even.My mind told me to go and check, my curiosity getting the best of me.Who knows, he might be setting another trap which I might fall into. So I got up, sensing no sign of him returning. I stepped towards the door, making sure that I didn't make any sound. As I pulled the door open carefully, I peeked through it first. There wasn't any sign of him in the long empty hallway, but one of the elevator’s lights was on. Obviously, someone has just entered it. What now?Is he leaving this huge apartment building all by himself?I followed and checked the number of floors he was going to. Seeing it baffled me. Actually, he wasn't leaving the building, but going up. The elevator was going to the fifteenth floor. I wonder who he's meeting there. With each moment, my curiosity got stronger and I foll

What promise?I can't recall promising to take him to L.A.Dave stomped forward and stood in front of us, dropping both hands on his waist “Ms. Maya, are you plotting behind my back?”“Oh, Dave… it's not like that.” The Nanny sounded hopeless. “We're only discussing about the weather.”“Really?” The boy narrowed his eyes. No doubt, he knew the Nanny was lying. I can't stand it anymore.I have to make it clear to him. “I won't take you to L.A.”His expression darkened. Literally, he went so mad that the cold look he threw my way froze me for a second. “How else will you repay my kindness, Theo Wellington?”“I can send you gifts from L.A. that's all.”But Dave wouldn't hear of it.I wonder if he did it intentionally or not, but my precious dinner was soon gone. The food I had barely touched.He knocked over the tray while grabbing his Nanny's hand and the glass of water spilled inside my food. “Fine. If you won't take me to L.A, I'll go by myself,” he declared. Despite my anger at s

…Geneva, Switzerland Theo's POV Is this a curse or what?I never expected to be stranded in a city as huge as this.The fact that nobody recognized me or my assistant made matters worse.Imagine us going to the airport and getting denied our luggage. Without our passports, nobody would believe I'm the mighty Theo Wellington.How did the passports even get lost in the first place?All thanks to Jake who had foolishly lost his wallet.Without both our phones… without any money in us, we're forced to keep relying on this little kid who seemed to hate me for no reason.Otherwise, why would he scoop a little food on my plate as my dinner?Hadn't he been the same person urging me to eat well last night?“This is too small,” I complained. “Is this all I'll get?”I glanced at Jake's plate which was filled to the brim with food.It's not fair, is it?“You were supposed to call me Boss, but you refused to,” said the little boy. “That's what you get for disobeying your savior.”Seriously, he

I don't know what instantly brought tears to my eyes. It's probably because of hearing his voice again for the first time after five years.Or maybe because he woke up when I was just about to leave. Turning around, I found the old man struggling to speak through the oxygen mask.I quickly helped him remove it, promptly checking his vitals through the monitor machine for any changes in his system. But his body was working fine which is a relief.I sat in the chair across from him, watching his eyes wet with tears.How did he recognize it was me?I'm wearing a mask after all.“Grandpa!” Emotion flooded my mind and my speech was incoherent. I struggled between laughter and tears as I held onto his hand. “You're awake!”“Am I dreaming, Olivia?” Grandpa Victor said, his voice hoarse and weak. “Did you come personally to check on me?”He didn't know yet that I was the surgeon who performed the operation.I've already planned with the hospital to keep it hidden even after the patient woke

…Los Angeles Olivia's POV Is it normal that I cannot even breathe properly anymore after hearing that Theo was looking for me?No. He had searched for me five years ago. Probably not anymore.But the feeling still lingered as if monsters were chasing me, lurking in the hospital walls.My mind was restless, and my heart beat with unease, wondering why he had looked for me.If Theo had searched for me five years ago, chances are things won't go well if we meet again. Right now, the last person I ever want to see is him.I've tried my best to avoid Grandpa Victor's relatives, but what if we accidentally bump into each other?What if Theo had sent out search parties to look for me, and someone accidentally saw me in Los Angeles?They would report to him instantly and my cover would be blown.“Olivia, calm down.

Cleaning the car is impossible!I've never done such a menial task before; talk more of doing it in public. Damnit!How did I end up like this? Luckily, Jake is here to do the humiliating job in my stead.I would have rejected it. However, the taxi driver's loud voice was already dragging the attention of the passersby.While I stood in a corner watching, Jake cleaned the taxi driver's car to the point that there wasn't a single daint on it. And before the taxi driver left, he looked at me and advised, “If you keep doing this, Mister, your son will forever live in the disappointment of you. With your good looks, you can easily get a job at any nightclub in this city. Those frivolous women can spend anything on you-”“Scram!” I was about to lose it, having had enough of the taxi driver's insults. However, the guy did himself good by leaving immediately.“I say we should deal with him, Mr. Wellington.” Jake wiped off his sweat, looking exhausted. “Even you never asked me to clean yo
