John's hand missed. He tried to push Dorothy away to save Olivia, but Dorothy held him so tightly that he could not move.Watching Olivia fall, John immediately grabbed Dorothy, threw her out, and ran to the rooftop to grab Olivia's hand.However, it was too late.Their hands brushed past each other, just like how they often missed each other in their relationship."Olivia!"John's expressionless eyes finally had fear and helplessness. At this moment, he could not save the woman he had hated for two years and loved for four years, no matter how capable he was.He even wanted to die with Olivia.However, Dorothy held to his waist and yanked him inwards from behind. "Johnny, no."Olivia looked at the two hugging on the rooftop, and tears welled up in her eyes. Finally, she closed her eyes slowly.He chose Dorothy after all.Speaking of which, how many times had he given her up?The third time? Or the fourth time?She did not remember. All she knew was that it was probably the
"You're a coward!"Zac grabbed John's collar and punched him again. "Let her go if you don't love her anymore. What man are you to torture a woman?"If you still love her, you'll believe her!"Then another punch landed on John's face.Zac hit so hard that John's face immediately swelled, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, but he did not move.Perhaps seeing John standing still like a dead man, Zac got angrier and punched him again."You rather trust a vicious woman who makes up many things than trust your wife. John, I've never seen trash like you!"Suddenly, John glanced coldly at Zac. He rolled over and pressed him under him before punching him back."What about you? What trash are you? I've been your friend for more than 20 years, and you're interested in my wife?""John, you still care about that at a time like this? Do you have a heart? Liv is lying on the operating table in between life and death!""She's my wife. Don't worry about her!"Then the two peop
Zac gave a self-deprecating smile. "Does it matter?"He knew Liv did not love him, so it did not matter whether she liked him.He was satisfied as long as she was healthy and happy.Unexpectedly, Zyla walked up to him and said, "Yes."Zac froze and looked up in a panic. Then Zyla said, "Zac, if you love Sis Liv, at least you're a better choice than Jerk John."You can protect her from getting hurt and care for her health. At least Sis Liv can survive by your side."With that said, she asked again solemnly. "So, do you like Sis Liv?"Zac was silent for a long moment before nodding. "Yes, I like her."It was the first time he said this and liked a person."Then take her away."Zac was stunned to hear that.'Take Olivia away?'However, he knew she would return if he took her away.Zyla turned to look at the emergency room, bit her lip, and said, "I'll avenge her and save her brother. I want her to live."She could not let anything happen to Sis Liv again. Absolutely not!Su
After dressing the wound, John changed into a new set of clothes and sat still on the sofa.No one knew what was on his mind, but it felt horribly depressing.He sat from daylight to dusk. There was no light in the room. Only the white moonlight shone on him, and he looked colder.Suddenly, he got up and walked out with his long legs.He had just reached the door when he found someone kneeling at the door.He glanced coldly at that person with his deep eyes and kicked her away."Johnny."Dorothy cried and hugged his legs. "I know you're mad at me. I don't expect your forgiveness. Perhaps I shouldn't have been interested in you from the beginning. I love you, so I can't watch you fall.""Let go!"There was no affection in his voice. It even had a touch of malice.However, how could Dorothy let go so easily?It had been a good plan, but she never expected John to turn against her over it. She never even expected Olivia to survive!How could she accept it?"Liv tried to kill
"Sis Liv, why don't I tell you a story?"Zyla snuffled and leaned on the bedside. She looked tearfully at Olivia, who was pale. "17 years ago, I was kidnapped by human traffickers and taken to a dark house, where I met you.""You were only about ten years old at the time, but you forgot your fear and protected me repeatedly when you saw me, who was younger than you."Remember? One time, they refused to feed me because I cried."You secretly hid half of your buns and slipped them to me after they left."Another time, you protected me when they were beating me up. You got injuries all over and were forced to starve with me."Zyla was already sobbing at this point. She held Olivia's hand and shouted repeatedly, "Sis Liv, please wake up."You got me, Mr. Quinton, and your brother. You've got us. Stop sleeping, okay?"After who knew how long, Zyla's voice was already hoarse, but there was still no response from Olivia.Therefore, she shut up and only looked quietly at the person on
Although she had thought of aborting the baby, it was hers after all. How could she give it up?This baby repeatedly kindled her desire to live during these painful and desperate days.She had fantasized about it.Would she and John reconcile again when the baby was born? Even if it was during the last moments of her life, she was satisfied to have a happy family of three.However, John killed the baby this time.He destroyed their way back to each other.Now, she could not even persuade herself to love him and forgive him.'Johnny, we became enemies after all.'Olivia let out a sob and opened her eyes. Tears fell onto the pillow from the corner of her eyes.She turned her head slightly to find that the pillow was already soaked.She sat up on her hands, leaned against the head of the bed, and stared out the window at the setting sun.There were groups of small sparrows twittering on the branches, but the room was cold and cheerless.It was like two worlds inside and out.
"Hope?"Olivia looked at Zac with red eyes, biting her lower lip and shaking her head. "Zac, my baby's gone. There's no more hope."She wanted to end it once and for all, but she gave up the idea as soon as she looked down at her belly.However, the baby was gone.Her hope and her bond with John were gone."Zac." She cried as she grabbed Zac's hand. "Do you think the baby will blame me? Blame me for not taking good care of it?""Will it regret being my baby?"Zac shuddered and took her hand. He soothed gently, "No, Liv. The baby won't blame you," "But I lost it..."The baby was so strong. It even miraculously survived the car crash.How could it not blame her?"Liv, Dr. Zucker said earlier that your baby was feeding off of you, making you weaker."Now that the baby's gone, you can improve your health. You can have an operation when your condition is stable. Maybe you can be cured."Olivia was trembling, crying, and shaking her head. "This baby is special. It's unique. It
"More?"Olivia's heart quaked as she bellowed, "John, do you not care because you think the baby isn't yours?"It was their baby. How could he say "More" so easily?John opened his mouth. Before he could speak, Olivia pushed him hard into the door."John." She looked at him tearfully, saying, "We can never have more children."These words cut into John's heart like a knife."Why?""Why?" Olivia stared at him for a dozen seconds. Then she suddenly said with a sneer, "John, do you really not know, or are you faking it?"Yes, of course, he knew, but he did not want that to be the result."Olivia." He called her hoarsely. He looked up at her with a slightly forlorn look.Olivia was in so much pain she could not breathe.'Who is he to be disappointed?'Who caused all this?'Why does he never think he's wrong?'Despair?'No.' She found it ironic and suddenly threw her head back and laughed out loud.Laughing, her tears poured out again and slid down his face to his mouth. It
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
