Wes looked in the rearview mirror and wanted to say something. However, all he could do was nod.John was getting more suspicious of Olivia as his jealousy grew.Wes did not believe Olivia had cheated on John. However, it would only annoy John if he tried to speak up for Olivia, so it was better for him if he kept his mouth shut.When they arrived at the hospital, John immediately carried Olivia to the emergency room. It was the same doctor who had attended to them before.He glanced at the bloody woman on the bed and shook his head. “Mr. Freeman, there’s no point saving her again and again if you want her dead.”Then, he turned around and headed to the operation theater.After rescuing Olivia, the nurse pushed Olivia out of the operation theater. She rolled her eyes when she saw John. This man was worse than she previously thought.“Mr. Freeman, your wife is pregnant and very weak. If you don’t care for her, she will certainly miscarry.”Then, she looked at John’s calm express
She wanted to deny it, but John’s newfound gentleness made it seem like he was the old John again, which made her reluctant to walk away.She threw herself into John’s arms and cried, “Johnny, don’t you hate me anymore? Don’t you blame me?”He stroked her back gently. “Liv, forget it. Let’s forget everything, okay?”“How… about Dorothy? You said you wanted her to be Mrs. Freeman…”“No, Liv. I want to be with you during the final weeks you have in this world. Abort the child. It only makes you weaker.”At that moment, Olivia felt like she had traveled back two years.Her Johnny was back.She lowered her head and touched her belly, smiling sweetly, “Johnny, I want to give birth to a child for you. If I die, he can accompany you.”John’s heart melted. ‘She does love me, doesn’t she?’Someone was at the door, watching the scene in the ward enviously.She could not let this thing go on.‘Terminal illness?‘You’re pretending to have a terminal illness? Don’t even think about it!
Hearing the words ‘lung cancer’, John’s grip on Olivia’s neck tightened as though he wanted to break it.“She is not suffering from any terminal illness!”Dorothy pretended to be ignorant and lifted her hand, which the nurse had bandaged with plaster of paris. Then, she said worriedly, “The nurse just told me…”“Heh. That was this woman’s trick to win some sympathy.”John leaned forward and gritted his teeth as he said, “Olivia, your despicable act has only disgusted me more.”Dorothy dashed to them to stop John and beg. “Johnny, don’t make a scene here. You’ll strangle Liv to death. Let go now!”However, Dorothy did not exert much strength when she was ‘stopping’ John. She looked worried on the outside but was gloating on the inside.‘Olivia, you are still only a loser, after all!’Suddenly, Dorothy slipped. John saw that her right hand was about to touch the ground. Fearing that she might get injured, John released Olivia and stretched out his hand to catch Dorothy.“Dolly,
Olivia trembled with anger. She knew Dorothy was lying, but she had no proof.“Dorothy, you told me yourself! You told me about the car accident in jail this morning!”“I didn’t...” Dorothy hid in John’s arms and said cautiously, “Johnny, I’ve never been to the jail…”“You came, and I…”Before she could finish, John snapped, “That’s enough, Olivia. Haven’t you done enough? You couldn’t just lie about cancer and bribe the nurse, now you have to try to accuse Dolly?”“I didn’t lie or bribe anyone. I’m really suffering from lung cancer!”John threw the report in Olivia’s face. “See it for yourself. It’s written on the paper.”As Olivia shuddered, she crouched and picked up the crumpled paper.When she saw the word ‘pneumonia’, her legs turned to jelly, and she almost fell to the ground.She could not explain herself. She had no way to defend herself!“I didn’t… I didn’t lie, Johnny. Why don’t you believe me?”John looked at her coldly and emphasized each word he said, “I only b
Seventeen years?John’s arms, which were holding Dorothy, froze. He and Olivia had only known each other for four years. He had no idea where those seventeen years had come from.“Heh! You’re shameless. Seventeen years? What gave you the confidence to say something like that?”Olivia gasped. She felt empty in her heart, as though she had lost something important. It made it difficult for her to breathe.He had forgotten about her…When they met again, Olivia had never mentioned anything about it because she felt it was destiny. She thought he knew about it.However, until today, she did not know that all of that was just her wishful thinking.The teenager who promised to protect her 17 years ago was gone!Olivia sneered and backed away. Finally, she fell on the bed. “John, you’ve forgotten your promise. You promised me twice that you would protect me for the rest of your life, and you’ve broken your promise twice.”John felt heartbroken, but he could not tell why.However, he
Olivia was shocked. “What did you say?”She thought the doctor was keeping his promise by writing the pneumonia report. She did not expect it to be Dorothy who did this.Olivia grabbed the girl’s hand. “You said someone paid the doctor to write this report?”“Yes. Dorothy even paid the nurse to say that you paid me to lie and that I’m dishonest. That’s why your husband believed it.”‘So, that’s what happened…’Olivia sneered upon thinking how well Dorothy had planned everything out.The jail must have had no surveillance and witnesses when she visited, so everything she said made it seem like she was accusing Dorothy.‘Heh! What a kind woman Dorothy is!’“How stupid of me.”The girl did not understand. “Ms. Larson, you’re not stupid. That woman is shameless.”“No, I’m stupid.”If she were not stupid, she would not have been gradually worn down by Dorothy and John for the past two years. She was the only person who could defend herself now, and she could not defeat them alone
With that sentence, Dorothy made Olivia stop in her tracks, stunned.Guessing from what was happening right now, if Dorothy were to bring it up, John would definitely gift it to her, since seventy million was nothing to the Freeman Group.However, the Larson’s Residence was where Olivia grew up and where her memories of all the good times she had with Dad, Mom, Uncle Wallace, and Ian resided.There could still be some items from her childhood in the house, and perhaps even some evidence of the crimes Dorothy had committed. Solely because of that, she could not let Dorothy have that house!“What do you want to do with the Larson Residence?”“What else? I want to stop you from having it, of course.“Besides that, Liv, you don’t have any money right now, so how are you going to fight me for it? Once I get my hands on it, maybe I’ll bring you in for a little house tour if I'm feeling kind, so you can reminisce on the glory days of the Larsons.”Dorothy smiled smugly. She looked like
By the time Olivia remembered Zac, it was already days later. She thought that since Zac had no relationship with her and was John Freeman’s good friend, it was only normal for him to leave her alone, so she did not think too much about it.She did not expect at all that he disappeared due to being in an accident. Olivia instantly felt guilty.Alas, no one associated with her would get a happy ending.Zac waved his hands. “It’s all good, it wasn’t that serious. Don’t think about it.”“I’m sorry.”“It’s fine, really…”Dorothy snickered. “Liv, you really can’t blame Johnny for suspecting things. Look at you two. No one would see the both of you like this and not get suspicious. Who knows? This accident might have been planned.”After hearing that, Olivia glared coldly at Dorothy. “Watch your words, Dorothy. Johnny’s been the only man for me since the very start up until now. I can't say the same, you flirtatious skank. Are you even sure he was the father of your child the last tim
