Marina felt regret and fear after she experienced the death of her parents and the comminuted fracture of both her legs.

She thought about a lot of things when she was in the hospital.

She cried profusely and said in a shaky voice, "I know I've done a lot of bad things in the past. I promise I'll change.

"I'll learn to be a good wife and never cause you trouble again. I don't have any other requests. Just marry me, I beg of you."

Ethan fell silent.

Without getting a reply, Marina continued, "You promised Kurt you'd take care of me forever. You can't leave me."

Ethan could no longer refuse after Marina pulled out her trump card. He closed his eyes, and Olivia's face filled his mind.

Ethan said weakly, "Okay, I'll do it."

Marina broke into a smile after getting his response. "I knew you'll never forsake me."

Ethan hung up the phone. Otto was also relieved.

"I knew you were a loyal man. I think you also know the state my family is in.

    News of the wedding between Ethan and Marina spread like wildfire. "Have you heard? Mr. Miller is marrying Marina Carlton this month. It's for real this time. I heard that the hotel has already been booked.""What about Ms. Fordham? I thought he cared about her. He has been staying by her side all this time.""Don't tell anyone, but Ms. Fordham is Mr. Miller's ex-wife. I thought they were getting back together. They divorced because of Ms. Carlton back then. "I guess true love triumphs over an old flame. Mr. Miller is willing to marry Marina despite her grave injuries. It has to be true love.""What would happen to Ms. Fordham after Mr. Miller marries Ms. Carlton? Wouldn't she be a mistress then?"The servants were chattering and noticed Olivia standing nearby. Their faces paled. "M-Ms. Fordham."Olivia's expression was calm. She stared at them coldly and said, "Gossip all you want, but do it where no one can hear you. "I won't let you off easily if this reaches my father'

    Jeff's words almost made Olivia cry. She had so much to ask him. She wondered if he knew about her origins. But when she met with his worried gaze, she decided against telling him. She couldn't rush things. Jeff was still recovering and could not take such a huge blow. "I'm fine, dad, really. I just matured and am no longer as childish as before.""Good to know. If he's still as good to you as before, I have nothing to worry about." Jeff patted Olivia on the head and said, "Dr. Blackwell told me that I can walk on my own after one more week of rehabilitation." In the past few days, Jeff had been able to walk a few steps with some help. Even if recovery was hard, Jeff toughed it out. He didn't want to be a burden to Olivia. He also wanted to be able to function as usual so Olivia wouldn't have to worry. "That's good news, dad. Keep it up!"Jeff felt better after seeing Olivia smile. "I've been feeling better these days, Olivia. I want a phone so I can catch up with the n

    Ethan smiled sheepishly and said, "Dad, I did something that upset her. But don't worry, I'll be sure to get her forgiveness.""Good man. I knew you still loved her."Ethan's attitude reassured Jeff. "It's hard to meet someone you love who loves you back. "You and Olivia are lucky to have found each other. Do not squander it.""I know that, dad. I'll never let her down."Jeff smiled gently, saying, "You don't have to trouble yourself by massaging my legs. "You're the CEO of a huge company. People will make fun of you if they see you doing this.""I'm just helping out my father-in-law. There's nothing wrong with that. Just focus on getting better, dad. Leave the rest to me. "If you don't like the rose, I can get someone to plant some orchids. I'll take you for a walk after your legs get better.""Okay. I'm happy to know that's what you think."It was already 10:00 pm when Ethan left Jeff's room. The light in Olivia's room was still on. She was reading a medical book on th

    Olivia didn't pay the retching any mind. But in the following days, she started to gag at the sight of the oil glistening on the food. Then, the retching became actual vomiting, and she lost her cool. She hadn't taken any medicine since she came back from the island. Her stomach hadn't bothered her in a long time. She thought her illness was back, but the vomiting only grew worse. It didn't seem like a stomach illness. It felt more like what happened when she got pregnant. The thought chilled her to the core. After she gave birth to the dead baby and had massive bleeding, doctors told her she damaged her body. It would be hard for her to get pregnant in the future. She never took the time to care for her health in the past two years. And she had only done it once with Ethan that day when he was sick. It happened on a safe day. She remembered what her doctor told her, so she didn't take any birth control pills. Olivia couldn't believe that she was pregnant just like th

    Olivia quickly gestured for the servant to be silent. The servant promptly stopped talking."What's your name?""Mona Synder. You can call me Mona," she replied obediently. "What do you do?"Mona replied, "I graduated from college and am a horticulture major, so I came here to tend to the rose garden."Mona's eyes were clear and innocent. Olivia had mostly figured out the personality of the servants working in the garden. Mona never took part in the gossiping that the others did. She would only focus on her job. "Can you help me with something?""You're too polite, Ms. Fordham. You're the owner of the garden. "You're free to order me to do anything. I'll do my best to help."Olivia whispered something in her ear and then added, "Don't tell anyone about it. Can you do that?""Yes. But … Can I know why? I see that Mr. Miller treats you well. If you really are pregnant, isn't it a good thing?"Olivia said, "You know he's getting married, right? Do you want the child to be

    Two red lines appeared on the white rectangle. One was dark, and the other was lighter. Olivia forgot how to breathe when she saw it. Her mind blanked out. It was real. She was pregnant. The first emotion she felt was joy. She looked in the mirror and realized she was already in tears. She had spent one and a half years trying to overcome the despair of losing her baby. But she was pregnant once again. Olivia was overjoyed but quickly realized it wasn't the best time to be pregnant. Even though she survived for half a year, the cancer cells were still in her. Those were a time bomb. Once triggered, she would be dead along with her child. But the glow of motherly love appeared on her face when she thought about the baby in her womb. She couldn't help but place her left hand on her stomach. Even though the baby hadn't formed yet and was just a tiny seed, she couldn't help but smile. Her tears fell onto the sink as she muttered, "Baby, is that you? Have you come back

    Ethan tried to picture himself asking Olivia to bear his child again. He could see her with her arms crossed. She would say with an icy smile, "A baby? Sure, as soon as you or your sister is dead."Most of their conversations lately had become like that. "Why aren't you dead yet?""Why are you here if you're still alive?""The weather is nice today. Why don't you die? Is it because you haven't found a suitable burial spot?""Ethan, I saw a nice spot today. You should be buried there.""If you don't want to die alone, why don't we do it together? Would you feel better about dying then?"Ethan could only see mocking smiles on her face. The love she once had was gone entirely. Even so, he was content. At least he could still see her every day. After Ethan had finished helping with Jeff's rehabilitation, he went to Olivia's room again. He saw her putting her hand on her stomach when he walked in. She was talking inaudibly and had a gentle smile on her face. Her expressi

    Ethan didn't feel upset when Olivia ridiculed him. He only felt terrible. Olivia used to be a bright and sunny person. He was the reason she became this way. "As long as you're happy."Olivia thought he would defend Marina because she crossed the line. She didn't expect Ethan to be all smiles still. His temper was better than before. "Of course I'm happy. But you seem to bring misfortune to your wives. "Your ex-wife has a broken arm. Your wife-to-be is disabled. Both broken women, your wives." Ethan was at a loss for words. Olivia felt better when she saw his face getting flushed. "Alright, I want to rest now. Get out.""I'll leave you alone now."Ethan left the room slowly and got someone to bring Olivia supper. She had no appetite but thought about the baby in her womb. She treasured this baby even more because she had already lost a baby before. She forced herself to eat, but she underestimated the baby. The vomiting was worse than the last time. She began t

    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. Her heart ached as she began crying. "It's finally over, Mona. Please rest in peace."She had been waiting for this day to come for too long.

    "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! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her. Back then, she simply assumed that it was due to her health and talent, but it turned out that he had known her identity all along!The purpose of the human modification project was to resurrect Natalie!

    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. No matter what field it was, no one would come before an outstanding scientist like him. It would be a huge loss to lose him.Olivia grew worried. "Calm down, Liv. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

    Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried. If the whole Fordham family were to be added to the family registry, would her children inherit less from the Heath family?Humans were born selfish. When the event actually came to pass, everyone would be thinking about their own benefit.

    Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. 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. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble.

    Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore. Although Jacqueline was dead, Olivia didn't feel happy, not even one bit. So what if the mastermind was dead?

    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. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown

    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. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
