Ken took John to the rooftop and walked to the spot where Olivia had fallen.“Are you sober now?”John looked displeased as he spoke impatiently. “Ken, are you trying to test my patience?”“Look here,” Ken pointed to his feet and said, “John, this is where Olivia fell from the building. You pushed her with your own hands.”“I didn’t push her.”“That’s what you think. Have you ever put yourself in her shoes? Have you ever thought about how desperate she was when she fell?”John shuddered and looked down from the building by the edge of the rooftop. The scene of Olivia looking at him flashed through his mind.His head felt an intense, sharp pain at the thought of her tears.Ken dashed toward John, grabbed his collar, and scolded him. “You’re too selfish to deserve love! Olivia was blind to fall in love with you.”John shoved off Ken’s grip and snapped, “She cheated on me.”He did not want to admit that Olivia had cheated on him and used him as a replacement for someone else for
That night, Olivia dozed off gradually.She dreamed about John.They argued in the dream, and it ended with John strangling her and threatening her until she broke out in a sweat.Suddenly, she heard the sound of a baby crying.Tears rolled down her cheeks.‘Baby? I still have my baby?’Olivia shot up from the bed. Then, she realized that it was all a dream and that the baby’s crying was just someone passing by the corridor with a baby in their arms.“Sis Liv, come and have breakfast.”Zyla walked in with a bag of food. Olivia asked, “You just went out to buy that?”Usually, Ken would send them breakfast, and the cutlery they got was exquisite.Zyla put the plastic bag on the tiny table in the ward and sneered. “I lose my appetite when I look at the food that b*stard brings, so I went out and bought some bread.”With that, she pushed the lunch box in her other hand to Olivia. “Fred gave this to you.”“What did he say?” Olivia asked.“What else could he have said? Just his
Ken took advantage of Zyla’s absence that evening and brought a lunch box into Olivia’s ward.“Liv, this is supper.”After putting it down, he could not stop himself from saying, “I’m not on John’s side. I’m just responsible for caring for him because he’s my patient.”‘Patient?’“Has he been discharged from the hospital?”Ken looked at her with mixed feelings and sighed. “Liv, I’ve tried to tell you this many times before, but I’ve always gotten interrupted.”“He had a concussion from a car accident two years ago and recovered after a month, but recently, he started having headaches again.”Olivia was surprised. Every time she saw John, he was bursting with energy as if he could strangle her with just one hand.Nothing about him made him seem like a patient.Ken scoffed and said, “Karma. That’s what he deserves for treating you like this.”Olivia said nothing. Mixed feelings rose in her.She would be lying if she said she did not care, but she was not as panicked as before
“Yes.”Ken only realized what he had said after answering and quickly changed his answer. “No.”The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then he scolded him. “Useless.”Ken was a little confused. “Why are you calling me useless?”“Ken, how can I cure my amnesia?”“Hypnosis.”Ken was afraid that John would not understand, so he wanted to explain, but John had already hung up.Only then did Ken realize what John was asking about just now.John had asked if Olivia was happy when Ken scolded him.He shook his head. He could not understand what was going on in John’s mind....Two days later, Olivia was packing up to leave the hospital.“Olivia.”Someone stood at the door and called her name.When Olivia lifted her head, she saw Mrs. Jameson standing at the door, looking pale with a smile on her face.“Mrs. Jameson, what can I do for you?“I meant to come and see you when you fell, but my health worsened. I’m sorry I’m only visiting now.”“It’s alright.
Olivia could not reject Fred’s kindness. She could only nod. “Okay. Take care of your sister, and you should also call me if you need anything.”“Thank you, Ms. Larson.” Fred bowed and turned around.Ken wanted to drive them back. However, Zac had taken Olivia’s luggage before he could and put it in his car.“Ken, just do what you’re responsible for as a doctor. You don’t have to worry about such things.”Ken felt a little helpless. “Zac, why do you see me as your enemy?”“I’m afraid you’re a spy from John’s side.”“I’m really not.” With that, Ken leaned closer to Zac and whispered, “Don’t worry. I’m not your rival in love.”Zac rolled his eyes and lowered his voice as he warned. “Don’t let Liv know about this, or you’re doomed.”“Yes. Please rest assured, Mr. Quinton.”Ken nodded. His target was not Olivia, so he did not care much about exposing the secret....Soon, they were back at the Golden Hill Apartment.Once they were inside, Zac reminded Olivia to take her medicin
Olivia could guess what was going on.Rainie had come to question her.She had started a rumor on the internet and used it to look for trouble.Olivia wiped the blood at the corner of her lips and stared at Rainie coldly. “Rainie, you know better than I do what the truth is.”She was a little flustered upon hearing Olivia’s words, but she hid it and sneered. “What nonsense are you talking about? All I know is that you drugged my mother and tried to snatch my position from me to inherit my family’s wealth.”“What do your family problems have to do with me?”“Do they have nothing to do with you?” Rainie snorted. “Olivia, you drugged my mother, forced her to accept you as her goddaughter, and tricked her into giving you the family heirloom. Have you forgotten all of that?”Olivia’s forehead puckered. Rainie’s talent for twisting stories was as good as Dorothy’s.She was amazed that Rainie knew about all of this.Mrs. Jameson had been the only person in that room with her.“You e
They saw John approaching them coldly and dragging Olivia away from Zac.Zac did not let go this time, and his gaze turned cold. “John, stop it.”Olivia was not feeling well, and he wanted to send her to the hospital. He did not have time to waste arguing with John.However, John did not plan to let it go. He grabbed Olivia’s arm, unwilling to let go, as he stared at Zac coldly and ordered. “Olivia, come here.”Olivia’s face was pale, and she could feel the rusty taste gushing up from her throat.“John, let go.”With that, she shook off John’s hand.However, she was weak. Instead of breaking free from John’s grip, she just angered him.“Olivia Larson, don’t forget that you’re a married woman!”She looked up at him and snorted. “You forgot about that first.”“Olivia!”Zac pushed John away and snapped, “John, get out of the way! Olivia is uncomfortable. Can’t you see it?”“You don’t need to worry about my wife’s feelings.”John pulled Olivia out of Zac’s arms brutally.She
Zac frowned. “What women? Do you think everyone is like you?”“Olivia has gotten injured several times because of the Jameson family. Are you trying to say that it has nothing to do with you?”Zac remained silent.His gaze turned cold when he recalled it was because of Rainie.However, he never expected Rainie to be so bold.Since warning her did not work, Zac felt he had to take action.After a while, Ken opened the door and came out, glancing at them.“Did Liv fall on her head?”They looked at each other and nodded.“Hey! Liv just fell from twenty floors and miscarried a while ago. Could you please take it easy on her?“She’s got two slap marks on her face. Who did it?”Ken looked at John and asked, “Was it you?”Before John could respond, he continued. “She’s suffering from a concussion. The fall before caused this, and the situation’s worsened since the fall. We’ll only know about Olivia’s condition after she regains consciousness.”Ken glanced at John coldly again. “J
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
