Olivia was preparing for the surgery as Sean's condition improved, thanks to the treatments.

He turned over a new leaf, no longer dwelling on the unfortunate past.

His goal was aligned with Avery's—they were striving to find out who the mastermind was.

Sean's improving condition put Troy at ease. Troy cleaned out his stuff and returned to his work.

It was only Troy left that Olivia shifted her gaze from him.

"Why did you keep staring at Troy, Dr. Fordham? Are you suspecting him? You stayed with him quite often these days. Did you find anything?"

Instead of answering that question, she questioned back, "Do you think that he is the one?"

"Nope. Troy's been a reticent man since he was young. He's crazy about drawings and handicrafts. Designing is his whole world.

"Once, he flew to Arlandia just to learn double-sided embroidery in person. It took him six months.

"He even spent a fortune on a gemstone to craft it himself. Spent a whole year on that.

    "Every murder has a motive. Jacqueline is our little princess. Why would she hurt her sibling? That doesn't make sense." Sean shook his head. "Besides, she has been obedient since she was young.""Just that? She sounds average to me compared to your other siblings."The Fordhams, including the late Quinn, were good at numbers. Troy could craft a dragon out of wood at the age of four, and Avery was a genius.Jacqueline was relatively ordinary under her siblings' shadows."I think it's because she was a premature baby. She has been weak since she was young. She rarely joined cocurricular activities and indulged in hobbies. "She was a late bloomer, but she worked hard ever since the day she could remember things. Even though she wasn't that bright, she put in effort."For example, our family could memorize a poem after listening to it once. The average kid might need to listen to it five times, but she needs to listen to it about ten times. "Still, she never complains. She'd

    Olivia nodded. "Yes. I don't have any proof of this yet. But that person is too skilled. I just want to remind you to consider all possibilities. "All our problems can be solved as soon as we lure Ginger out.""Noted, Dr. Fordham."Sean looked at his leg. "When can I get surgery?"Olivia had been performing acupuncture and soaking his legs in herbal waters. He felt like he was beginning to smell of herbs.Olivia noticed his sense of urgency. "Well, I had wanted to wait until your body was at its peak condition before I performed the surgery. "Since you're so anxious to get it done, I'll do it sooner. You'll be able to fend for yourself in the future if you run into any trouble.""Really, Dr. Fordham? I can have the surgery now?""That's right. I already asked Avery to prepare an operating room for us. We have to keep this operation a secret from everyone, even Mr. Lind.""Okay. I'll do whatever you say. I'll leave it up to you to make the arrangements."Olivia planned to ta

    Reginald snapped back to reality. "I heard that they were going to look at some ice sculptures.""Are they out of their minds? Sean's unwell. How can she bring her somewhere so cold? Mr. Lind, you've been working for Sean for a long time. "Back when he insisted on moving out, my parents told you to come with him. They wanted you to keep an eye on him. Look what you've done. You allowed him to leave with a stranger!""Please calm down, Ms. Jacqueline. Mr. Sean isn't a child anymore. It's a good thing that he finally has the desire to live again. "He told me not to follow him. I can't exactly defy his orders, can I? Besides, Dr. Fordham is…""Shut up! You've failed to take care of Sean, and you're coming up with these excuses. Save them for when you talk to my parents!"Reginald looked at Jacqueline. She was normally gentle and kind, but it was like she was possessed at that moment. Her expression was cold.Reginald felt an inexplicable chill down his spine. His smile faded as h

    Sean found Olivia's name to be familiar. When Quinn went missing, everyone in the family searched for a long time. In the end, it was Avery who brought her body back.He also told them that Olivia was the one who helped him find her. Back then, he had only heard of Olivia's name. He hadn't seen her before. He had planned to express his gratitude to her, but then, he got news of her passing. He had no contact with her and had only heard about her from Avery. After that, he got into a traffic accident himself and didn't have the energy to care about this matter anymore.Hearing that name again after so long stirred his emotions a little. "It's you. You were the one who found Quinn and saved us a lot of trouble. We may never have found her without your help. You told me you were indebted to Avery, but it's our family that's indebted to you.""You're too kind, Mr. Sean. I barely did anything."Olivia didn't try to get acknowledgment for her efforts. "You should be tired after s

    Louis showed up after a short while. He seemed to be happy to see Olivia."You're back, Elise."He hugged her joyfully. He was like a kind uncle. "Mr. Rivera, you've built such a huge building on the mountain. What kind of research is going on in there?""Dear child, you'll find out when it's time for your transformation."Olivia's intuition told her that Louis was hiding a huge secret. But she couldn't force it out of him if he was unwilling to share."Mr. Rivera, can you help a friend of mine with an operation?"Louis was a very important man. Even the richest men in the world had to wait in line for his services. He was also obsessed with research. So, he was rarely in the mood to treat patients.Even so, he needed a lot of money to fund his research, so he couldn't turn down everyone who came to ask for treatment. Back then, his address got exposed, which caused people to line up at his door for treatment. That was why he built a new base that didn't tell anyone about it

    Putting their status as scions of the Fordham family aside, the two brothers were still leaders in their fields.Looking at each other, one was crippled and stuck in the past while the other had been haunted by his kidney disease for years. Both of them were tormented by their circumstances.Avery hugged Sean. "It's all my fault. None of you would've been dragged into this mess if I had realized something was wrong sooner."Everyone thought it was just an accident when Quinn went missing. None of them thought one of their own was responsible."Avery, who do you think it could be? Troy, Vox, or Jacqueline?""They're our closest family, our kin. I don't think they would be the ones. I've focused my attention on looking into our cousins, nephews, and other relatives. "They have a more plausible motive. If something happens to us, they'll have a chance to inherit our family's fortune!""Then, did you find anything?""I have some leads, but I can't risk alerting the enemy yet. Do

    Olivia felt a little embarrassed. "It isn't official yet.""It's fine. You'll be my sister sooner or later. I'm so happy to have another sister."Sean patted her on the head. Olivia was excited that she suddenly had two brothers. "Am I really good enough?"She knew how prestigious the Fordham family was in Zelotria. It felt surreal that she had become part of their family. The Fordham brothers smiled at her warmly. "We're overjoyed to have a sister like you. The only thing is you'll have to hold out until this matter is behind us. Then, we'll officially accept you into the family."The three of them looked at one another and smiled. There was a very obvious dimple on Sean's left cheek when he smiled. It reminded Olivia of the dimples on her children's faces. Maybe they were really meant to be a family. …Sean was wheeled into the operating room by an assistant robot at night. He was stunned when he was told that these people were actually robots. He knew a little about

    OIivia's back was soaked in sweat when she woke up. The dream was quite surreal. She felt the cold sweat on her forehead. She had only seen Quinn in photos and had never met her in person. But the dream she had seemed very realistic.Quinn's smile was so gentle. She didn't look like a dead person in the dream. She was like a kind older sister. Olivia sighed heavily. If Quinn were still alive, she would be 29 years old. It was so unfair. She was such a talented young woman, but she died such a gruesome death.Then, she heard the melody of a flute. Olivia freshened up before she exited the room.Sean was holding a flute while he looked at Willow, who was playing her flute, with a tender expression.It was a very peaceful image, and Sean looked like his condition had improved too.Olivia asked gently, "Avery, how are you holding up?""I lived through it. Louis said I'm the most successful herb-imbued person after you."Olivia was overjoyed. "That means you're saved!""For the

    Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies.

    "Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia!

    Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone. She expected to encounter some inspection robots upon arrival, but there weren't any.Ships were docking in lines by the seashore, and most of them belonged to private foreigner organizations and mercenaries. People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless.

He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright.

    Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him.

    Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him.
