Olivia coughed as she covered her mouth. She chuckled and shook her head. "No, really. Maybe it's because I haven't had enough rest recently and was caught in the rain."Sam frowned as she replied and did not ask again.However, he felt that Olivia must be lying to him.After getting out of the elevator, she let go of Sam. "Go home. I can go there myself.""Are you sure?"Sam was afraid Olivia would think he was still a child, so he added, "I can get a nurse to help you.""No thanks. It's nearby. Hurry back. Don't worry the grown-ups.""Yeah, okay. Be careful, Lady."Olivia nodded and watched the elevator go down before she turned around to enter the ward.When she reached the door, she held onto the wall momentarily to catch her breath.If Zyla saw her now, she would probably scold her.She put herself in such a difficult situation to say goodbye and not escape.She shook her head with a sneer and held her breath as she pushed the door open.However, the room was empty.
John eventually could not help looking back at her back as she left.However, the thin figure collapsed to the ground before his eyes."Olivia!"He tried to pick her up, but his hand had not recovered fully, and his right hand was not strong enough.Just then, Sam ran over. "Lady!"Then he looked at John. "Uncle, wait a minute. I'll get the nurse."John ignored him and held Olivia in his arms, only to find that her clothes were wet, and she was shivering.He remembered that she had lung cancer and could not be exposed to the rain...He gently brushed away the damp hair from her forehead and said through gritted teeth, "Olivia, you're too hard on yourself just to have nothing to do with me!"However, he was never letting go again.Sam soon came with the nurse and the doctor. John gave a brief description, and the doctor took her to the ward and put her on the bed.Sam wanted to follow, but John grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out."Who are you?"Sam shook him off
John turned his head to look coldly at him. His body exuded an icy pressure. Even his voice was a little colder."What did you say?"Wes did this without John knowing, so Wes was a little nervous.He was afraid John would kill him for it.However, he could not allow a woman like that to influence him."Sir, I took a DNA test on them without telling you. If Ms. James and Young Master Larson aren't related, there's no way she could be Madam."John narrowed his long narrow eyes. His gaze was as sharp as arrows."Who told you to do it?""Sir, I know I might not survive it, but..."Wes looked up at him. "Four years ago, after Madam died, they took advantage of your grief and attacked Freeman Group. Freeman Group almost...""Shut up!"John grabbed his neck. "Wes, I think you have a death wish.""Sir, Freeman Group is yours. What happened four years ago had such a great influence on Freeman Group. We haven't recovered to our peak until now. We can't... We can't let this woman brin
John stopped but did not look back. He only replied indifferently, "No."He knew she did not want to see him.Maybe it would be worse if he stayed.Ken snorted coldly as he looked at his back.The man was the same–always so self-centered and self-righteous.He would never have come if John had not said Olivia was sick and needed care.The sight of John reminded him of Zyla's tragic death.He told Olivia he was sure John had nothing to do with it.However, how could he really think he had nothing to do with it?He just hated himself more than he hated John.Looking at Olivia sleeping peacefully in bed, he sighed.People were always confused yet sober. He spoke as if he had seen through everything, but why were they tangled with each other?However, Ken also understood Olivia just as he understood Zyla.She was gone, but he could not move on.Soon after, he got a phone call, and his expression changed instantly."Are you sure?"It was unknown what the other party had said
John froze with a chill in his heart.Looking at the tearful person in his arms, he did not know how to respond.They had two children, but they lost them all.Suddenly, Olivia grabbed him and screamed, "John, why? Why would you kill Zyla? Why on earth did you do it?"Every word pierced John's heart.It was a long time before he reached out and touched her face. He whispered with a tremble, "Liv, it's over. Stop thinking about it, okay?"The person in his arms was silent. John thought she was asleep and continued to inject her with fever-reducing medicine.However, no sooner had he finished than he heard the person in his arms mutter, "It's not over."'It's not over...'Breathing heavily, John wiped the sweat off her body. He put her on the bed, tucked her in, and glanced deeply at her as he left the room.As soon as he opened the door, he saw Wes standing with his head hanging low.As soon as he saw him, he looked up immediately. "Sir, will you forgive me for this time? Don
Olivia was lying on the bed, feeling completely limp and weak. She also felt dizzy and so unwell that she was delirious.Just then, Zac called and said he wanted to see her.“It’s late. I want to sleep. Can I call you back tomorrow?”It was not actually very late at the time, but since John had all the curtains closed, the room was so dark that it looked like it was night.Zac, who was on the other end of the phone, looked at the time suspiciously and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about Jenson and the earthquake?”Olivia was taken aback. ‘How did he find out?’“Fred told you?”“Don’t blame him. I forced him to tell me.”She rubbed her temples with pain. “I’m really tired now. Can you let me sleep?”“Are you really okay? Did you have a relapse? If...”“No, I’m fine.”He knew from her tone that something must be wrong, but he also knew Olivia’s character, so he finally compromised.“Okay, I see. Have a good rest. Go to sleep now.”“Okay, when I…”Before she could finish sp
Olivia struggled to take out the towel from behind her. Finally, she got a hold of it and threw it aside. She tried to put a new one behind her, but she had lost feeling in her hand, so she could not reach around no matter how much she tried. Eventually, she gave up.She tried very hard to keep herself awake, but she still ended up falling asleep.When John came back, he saw her falling asleep with her head tilted against the headrest.He shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, and carefully put down the new towel for her. After that, he gently let her lie flat on the bed and covered her with the quilt.Regardless of whether he could forgive everything in their past, he decided to not give up just like that.He had to get her to return to him for the rest of her life.…It was already the next morning when Olivia woke up.Her fever had completely subsided. Although her body was still a little limp, she did not have much problem moving around on her own.She walked out of t
Olivia had only one thing on her mind, and it was to leave quickly.Along the way, she kept urging the taxi to drive faster. After that, she got out of the car and went straight to the hotel room. She wanted to pack up and leave.Perhaps after returning home, she should move and take Lyla far away.She would hand the atelier over to Jennie, and she would work remotely.Only this way could she and Lyla be safe.She frantically swiped her card to open the door, then rushed in without looking.However, as soon as she walked in, someone covered her mouth and pushed her against the wall.Olivia was taken aback. Just as she was about to fight back, she heard a familiar voice. “It’s me, Liv.”She froze for a moment and looked up to see Zac.Seeing her terrified expression, he quickly let go of her and said softly, “Sorry, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I waited for you for the entire night. I thought a bad guy walked in, so I attacked.”Immediately, he saw her f
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
