It was morning when Olivia woke up again. Looking around, she saw no one in the room. On the table beside her was an insulated lunch box with a piece of paper under it.“Remember to eat your meals.”Apparently it was from Zac.Recalling last night, Olivia knew why she had suddenly felt so sleepy, even though she only realized it now.It must have been from the water Zac poured for her. However, she did not plan to blame him for that. After all, he did that because he wanted her to rest well.She got up and put on her jacket, planning to visit Zyla.However, she bumped into Dorothy, who was coming to look for trouble, as soon as she walked out.“I heard from Johnny that you donated some blood to me again. I came to thank you.”Seeing the smug look on Dorothy’s face, Olivia felt annoyed. She glanced at her coldly and said calmly, “It’s nothing. After all, I wouldn’t want you to die so soon. I can only get revenge on you if you’re still alive.”That was not the reaction Dorothy w
The call went through soon after Ken dialed the number, and John’s deep voice came through the phone. “Yes?”Dorothy froze. She remained silent and observed Ken in horror.However, Ken chuckled and said, “I visited Mrs. Freeman. She’s recovering well. I’m just calling to tell you so you won’t worry.”“Okay.”Suddenly, Ken sneered. “But I happened to meet Ms. Ellis on the way…”Before he could finish his words, Dorothy snatched the phone and hung up the call. Her face was pale. “What’s… your relationship with Johnny?”Only a few people she knew could talk to John like that.Olivia was too annoyed to even look at Dorothy. She wanted to end this pointless conversation, so she tugged Ken’s arm and asked, “Is Zyla awake since you came looking for me?”“Yes,” Ken nodded.“Okay. Take me to her.”With that, she dragged Ken off and walked away.Reluctant to give up, Dorothy gritted her teeth and grabbed Olivia’s hand. “I won’t go back to prison. You did not win.”Olivia shoved off D
Olivia turned around and saw Mrs. Jameson standing at the door with some supplements in her hand.“Mrs. Jameson?”“Ms. Larson.” She put the supplements on the table. “Ms. Jones, I heard you were hurt, so I brought some supplements to see you with.”Zyla did not like the Jameson family, especially when she recalled how Rainie hit Olivia. They irritated her.“Take it away! I don’t want supplements from you people.”“This is just a small gift from us, Ms. Jones.”As Zyla was about to retort again, Olivia stopped her and shook her head. Then, she looked at Mrs. Jameson. “Mrs. Jameson, why don’t you tell me why you’re here this time?”Olivia had disliked Mrs. Jameson since the day she knelt before her in the garden.Mrs. Jameson pursed her lips and said, “I’m sorry about what happened last time. Whether it was the time Rainie hurt you or the time I knelt before you in the garden, we overstepped our boundaries. I hope you can forgive me.”Forgive?Olivia said coldly, “Mrs. Jameson,
Mrs. Jameson knew her efforts were pointless, so she quickly apologized before leaving.After she left, Olivia looked out of the window and sighed.There were two things she regretted most in her life.One was bringing Dorothy back to the Larson family, and the other was marrying John.If she did not marry John, he might still be the sunshine in her life, and he would be her deepest secret. It would be better than being wounded and feeling hurt now....Nothing much happened for a few days after that.Ken was responsible for Olivia and Zyla’s meals. It saved them from plenty of trouble. Olivia accompanied Zyla in her room most of the time, chatting with each other.One afternoon, while they were chatting, Olivia received a call from Zac.“Liv, my friend who majors in cancer research is coming to Ocean city next week. He will do a full body check-up on you and see what we can do about your illness.”Olivia was startled for a moment. She felt a little uneasy and said nothing.
Startled, Olivia looked closer, trying to identify who the man was.It was indeed the man from that day. However, with his hair cut short and beard shaved, he looked fresh and unfamiliar.Fred noticed the wary looks on the ladies’ faces and quickly explained. “Ms. Larson, I’m here to make amends today.”After making sure that he had no intention of harming them, Zyla laughed. “Mr. Jameson, no one would have introduced themselves like you did. I thought you were looking for revenge.”After hearing this, his ears flushed red as he apologized. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.“I came to apologize sincerely. Back then, I was too impulsive. The consequences would have been unimaginable if Ms. Larson hadn’t stopped me.”Fred looked at Olivia sincerely. “Ms. Larson, you’ve done me a great favor, and I can’t think of a way to repay that.”Olivia needed help remembering the details of the matter. She was a little flustered when Fred apologized to her.“Mr. Jameson, you don’t have to apol
Zyla was craving spaghetti the next day, so Olivia went to get it. On her way back, she bumped into Rainie.To be precise, she spotted Rainie hiding behind a tree and talking on the phone.She planned to ignore it at first, but she overheard her conversation when she passed by.“Are you sure this drug won’t kill her? I don’t want her to die.”‘Drug? Die?’Instinctively, Olivia assumed that Rainie wanted to drug her, so she eavesdropped on the conversation.“What will happen if I give her this drug every day?”Olivia had no idea what the person on the other end of the call said. All she heard was Rainie sneering and saying, “It’ll be fine as long as she isn’t dead. I want her to not be able to communicate with anyone. That’s all.“Anyway, the Jameson family will employ someone to take care of her. I’ll only need to pretend I care.”Then, Rainie gritted her teeth and said, “Heh. I wouldn’t need to do this if she didn’t insist on finding her biological daughter. She’s left me wit
“What are you doing, Olivia? Are you insane?”Rainie glared at Olivia as though she was going to eat her alive.Mrs. Jameson looked at them, puzzled. “What’s going on?”“This…” Looking at the residual liquid on the floor, Olivia brushed her off by saying, “Mrs. Jameson, you can’t drink this.”Rainie was shocked and retorted. “Olivia, what are you talking about? It’s just some juice. Why can’t my mother drink it?”“Yes, Olivia. Do I even have to stop drinking juices?” Mrs. Jameson was also puzzled.Olivia was startled. She had been in a hurry to stop this from happening, so she did not have time to think of a reasonable excuse.“Well, juices are good for your health, but it’s not suitable for you, Mrs. Jameson.”Olivia made up an excuse and pointed the plastic bag next to them. “I saw Ms. Jameson carrying this in her bag and suddenly recalled that people with an illness like yours shouldn’t drink this. So, I acted on instinct just now. I’m sorry for being rude.”With that, Oliv
Olivia frowned slightly. “Mrs. Jameson, nothing’s going on.”However, Mrs. Jameson did not plan to give up. She grabbed Olivia’s arm and dragged her to the corridor as she whispered, “Olivia, I know I misunderstood you a lot before, but now I know exactly who you are, and I trust you.”Olivia had saved her life, and she had no reason not to believe her.However, Olivia did not want to interfere as this involved Rainie.She regretted stopping Rainie now.Just now, she should have stayed out of it.Thus, she squinted her eyes and looked at Mrs. Jameson. “Would you believe me if I told you that your daughter wanted to kill you?”Mrs. Jameson was terrified, and her body swayed in shock. She quickly let go of Olivia’s arm.“Olivia, what do you mean?”Olivia was afraid she might blurt out everything she knew if Mrs. Jameson cried, so she went back into the ward and shut the door behind her.Zyla was worried and asked, “Sis Liv, what happened?”Olivia put her ears to the door and h
Elegance Gardens.As soon as Olivia entered the door, Ken appeared out of nowhere with Fred and Kate standing beside her. Then, the three of them looked at her with surprisingly serious eyes.Olivia was stunned for a moment. “What’s the matter? I just went out for a meal. Why are you so serious?”“Was Jennie the one who took you out?”It was Ken who spoke first.Olivia nodded. “Well, yes.”“Liv, are you crazy? You went out to eat with her?”Fred stepped forward, looked her up and down, and said with a frown, “Have you forgotten how she betrayed you? You should never tolerate someone who cheats even once. What if she had bad intentions of inviting you out?”“Pheebs, that woman is not as straightforward as you think.”Out of the three, Ken was the calmest. “Did she say what she was doing in Ocean City?”Olivia shook her head. “I asked, but she didn’t say anything. She only said that she wanted to stay in Ocean City and asked if I was still angry with her.”Hearing this, Fred r
Jennie brought Olivia to a popular fondue place. The melted cheese looked very appetizing, and it was the kind that Olivia liked in the past.However, she could not raise her spirits today, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she put down her fork and started to space out.Jennie gave her a piece of strawberry. “Pheebs, eat more. You are so skinny now. Why do you still eat so little?”“Maybe I don’t have a good appetite.”“Don’t you always have an appetite for cheese? Pheebs, how long have you been like this? Have you seen a doctor?”“I’m used to it. It’s fine.”Jennie suddenly grabbed Olivia’s hand and looked at her solemnly. “Pheebs, what’s wrong with you? You’ve really changed a lot, and I don’t even know you anymore. Even though I could tell you were sad before, you were still very positive, but now… I’m worried that you’re going to do something stupid.”Upon hearing this, Olivia was stunned for a moment. Then, she forced a smile. “No, I just haven’t slept well recently, so I’
The next day, Olivia woke up and planned to go to the mental hospital to find Dorothy without telling everyone, but she received an unexpected call.“Pheebs, it’s me. I’m in Ocean City. Do you want to meet?”Olivia was stunned for a few seconds before she realized who the other party was. Then, she could not stop herself from frowning.“Jennie Sutherland?”“Pheebs, are you still mad at me? Why are you calling my full name like that?”Olivia pursed her lips. She smiled dryly and did not explain.Perhaps it was because too many things had happened recently and they had affected her state of mind. Unbeknownst to her, she became less tolerant now.Whatever happened in the past had not blown away like dust, but remained in her heart and turned into a deep grudge.When she heard that Olivia was not speaking, Jennie smiled. “Are you free for a meal? Pheebs, do you not even want to eat with me now? I am genuinely…”“Next time.”She was still a murder suspect. Plus, she still had not
‘Zy...‘This woman looks like Zy…’Fiona Miller glanced at her, frowned slightly, and stepped forward to get in front of her.“You are so weak, but you still have time to worry about me? Stand behind me.”Olivia was taken aback. Not only did they look alike, but they even spoke similarly, especially so as she stood in front of Olivia. They were so similar…Before Olivia knew it, her eyes were red.‘Zy…’However, her Zy died in her arms. She watched Zy lose her breath with her own eyes, so how could she appear here?However, Olivia was really greedy for more time with Zy, so greedy that she did not want to be rational anymore.When she regained her composure, she saw Fiona and the fat woman engaging in a fight, so she hurried forward to help. Olivia pulled the fat woman’s hair back and then separated the two.The fat woman cursed a few times, but in the end, she was still a little scared, so she ran to the opposite side of the room and squatted down.Under the light, Fiona’s
“He really is innocent!”Olivia roared as she watched the officer walking away.However, the other party did not look back at her. It was as if no one cared about the truth at all.Just as she lost her footing and fell, someone pulled her hair forcefully.“Ah!”“Hello, b*tch! Someone wants us to take good care of you!”When Olivia heard that, an unusually tall and burly woman had already dragged her to the ground. The woman then sat on Olivia’s body and slapped her with all her might.Olivia had just had a fever and was still weak. Thus, when she was slapped hard all of a sudden, she felt her brain buzzing instantly.However, the other party did not seem like she was going to stop. After that, the woman raised her hand and slapped Olivia again.After two slaps, blood spilled from the corner of Olivia’s mouth, contrasting against her pale face even more eerily.Just as the fat woman was about to slap her for the third time, Olivia suddenly exerted all her strength to grab the
After a while, someone kicked open the door, and uniformed police officers walked in with an arrest warrant.“Miss Olivia Larson, we need you to come with us.”Olivia was taken aback, but Fred had already rushed forward before she could register what was going on.“There is no Olivia Larson here. You have found the wrong person. My sister still has a fever and needs to rest. Please get out immediately!”However, the leader of the group just glanced at him, ignored him, and then walked around him to the bed. After that, he looked down at Olivia, who was lying weakly on the bed.“Ms. Larson, you probably don’t want me to take coercive measures, do you?”Olivia did not know what was happening, but she knew very well that her identity had been revealed. She had nowhere to escape, so she had to face the music.Therefore, she lifted the blanket and stood up.“Okay, I’ll go with you. But please wait for a moment downstairs to let me change, okay?”The man glanced at her and nodded, “
Olivia fell ill. However, scared of being hounded by the paparazzi, Mrs. Simmons was too scared to send her to the hospital, so she could only call Ken over.The two were busy these days and did not have much contact with each other. Ken came in and froze when he saw Olivia lying in bed.'Why is her face so pale? Why is she so frail? She's so thin that she looks like a piece of paper from far away and has blended into the covers.' "Ken? You came?"Groggy, Olivia felt someone standing at the end of the bed watching her, so she tried hard to open her eyes to see. Seeing it was Ken, she squeezed out a smile."Jeez, Mrs. Simmons. I'm just a little tired. Did she have to bring you over?"Ken frowned, went up to test her forehead, and said, "You're an adult. Why did you get yourself into this with no one around to look after you? You're a mother. You don't even know you have a fever and still stay up all night."Olivia pressed her lips together and said nothing."Are you worried ab
Xavier bailed out Olivia that night."Pheebs, don't worry. Nothing's going to happen to you. Trust me."Xavier grabbed her hand and comforted her repeatedly, but Olivia did not respond. She was like a stunned puppet.She had temporarily left the place that scared her, but her heart was still unsettled.She thought everything was over when John died.However, it seemed John's death was the beginning of everything.Who was behind all this?She desperately wanted to know.She suddenly grabbed Xavier's arm and used an almost imploring tone, "Xavier, help me find out who did this, will you?"She knew she could only solve the problem from the root by finding the real culprit and source.Xavier frowned. "I will. Please give me a moment.""Thank you...""Don't thank me. You're making yourself a stranger."Xavier opened the car door for her as he spoke. "Get in the car. I'll take you home. Lyla and the rest are waiting for you at home."Olivia froze at the mention of Lyla. Then sh
After leaving Quinton Group, Olivia got another call from the school."Mrs. Quinton, you can be at ease now that we've investigated this and all those involved have been handed over to the police."The person on the other end of the line paused. "Besides, we've also solved the case of Sam smashing the car. All the teachers involved have been fired, and the students have been ordered to transfer to another school. You can let Sam and Miss come back to school without any worries, Madam."She frowned as she hung up.She was surprised by the way the school handled this.She did not believe the school handled it voluntarily. After all, the principal had arrogantly demanded an apology from her.Why fire everyone all of a sudden?The more Olivia thought about it, the more she realized that it must have something to do with the board of directors, but who was secretly helping her?'Is it Zac?'Is he atoning for it in such a way because he knows he did something wrong but is too scared
