“Nope, he was nice to me.”The person on the other side of the phone sighed. “Liv, if you really want the Larson’s Residence back, I can help you. 70 million is still affordable for The Quinton Group.” “It’s fine, Mr. Quinton…”Olivia licked her dry lips. “Anyone that comes near me will get bad luck, my parents, Uncle Wallace, your car crash, and even the nurse that defended me got fired.”“I know.”“You do? Were you the one who hired the nurse?”“Yeah, but I am afraid that this may burden you so I didn’t tell you.”There was a warm current coursing in Olivia’s heart, she assumed that no one in this world would care about her but to her surprise, there was still someone willing to help her. “Thank you.”“Liv, don’t thank me, I do share a part of the responsibility about your relationship with Johnny. If I was there two years ago, things wouldn’t have turned out this way, so I want to repay my debt.”‘Debt repayment?’Olivia chuckled upon hearing Zac’s reasoning.Even a vi
“Olivia Larson!”John yelled her name angrily.Probably because this had happened numerous times so she did not react much but looked at the two indifferently. “You want me to take care of her? Don’t even think about it.”“Don’t you want the Larson’s Residence?”Olivia snorted. “With this vicious mistress here, even if I kneel down and lick her toes, she will not give me the house.”That being said, she smiled at Dorothy. “Right, Dorothy?”Dorothy leaned in John’s arms and spoke weakly with her delicate voice, “Johnny, don’t be mad. It’s not Liv’s fault to hold prejudice against me, besides, I am invading someone else’s territory in the eyes of the people…”“Wow Dorothy, since when have you learned literature? I didn’t expect you to use such eloquent language.”“Olivia Larson!” Don’t be too much!” John finished yelling at Olivia and then spoke to Dorothy gently, “This is your home, no one can say anything about it!”Olivia’s heart was instantly torn apart upon hearing these
A mouthful of blood gushed into her mouth and she immediately ran into the bathroom to spit it out.She lowered her head and realized that the blood she spat out this time was not scarlet red as usual but pitch black. She opened the water tap and washed the blood away then wiped off the remaining blood on the corner of her mouth. Even if the downpour did not exist, she would most probably become depressed and upset upon seeing the two and end up vomiting blood to death. Olivia took a painkiller right after and tossed the bottle into her bag to take with her. She could not bring herself to stay here anymore.Yet, she ended up running into John just as she reached the door.The man stood in front of her with a deterrent force and gazed at her coldly. “Where are you going?”“None of your business.”John grabbed her wrist. “How can I not care when you are my wife?”She raised her head and looked at him fearlessly despite being in despair. “Johnny, do you still remember that I
“Watch out!”That being said, a figure dashed over and rolled to the side of the road with Olivia in their arms. Followed by a sharp noise of brakes screeching, the truck driver stuck his head out of the window and yelled, “Are you blind?!” Olivia looked over to finally realize who saved her and she widened her eyes in disbelief. “It’s you?”She was not injured but unfortunately, the one who saved her scratched her right arm and it was bleeding. “Oh dear, you are bleeding, let’s go to the hospital.”That person stopped her. “It’s fine Ms. Larson. I’m a nurse myself and I have the medical supplies to treat my wounds.”“No, but…”Before Olivia finished speaking, the other person had already wrapped her wound with the handkerchief she took out from her bag.“I’m fine, really.”Olivia quickly helped her up and pointed at her car. “Get in, I’ll send you home.”This time, Zyla did not refuse and went into the passenger seat. Before getting into the car, O
The two went upstairs right after they reached Golden Hills Apartment. The house was quite spacious and it was a duplex apartment.“Sis Liv, this apartment is an incentive provided by Mr. Quinton, looks good right?”Olivia nodded. “Indeed, where’s the first aid kit?”Zyla pointed at the cabinet. “The second drawer.”“Alright, take a seat, I'll go get it.”Zyla sat on the sofa obediently and immediately smiled upon seeing Olivia bringing the first aid kit over as if she was in a very good mood. Olivia felt a little strange. “Why are you so happy? You are bleeding.”“I guess it’s because you are too beautiful, Sis Liv.”Olivia was amused. She took off the handkerchief from her arm and then took the bottle of iodine. “What a sweet talker, I shall treat you with some iodine then.”“Sis Liv, please be gentle…ouch…it hurts…”“Thought you didn’t know.”Although Olivia did not study medicine, her hands were notoriously deft, if not, Dorothy would not have been so jealous to the e
Zyla could see through what Olivia was thinking. “Sis Liv, I’ll go with you.”Olivia wanted to depart immediately but when she took a look outside, she noticed the sky was turning dark and it would take at least 2 hours to reach West York Village.Just as she was hesitating, Zyla said, “Sis Liv, it’s late already, let’s go tomorrow. If he’s gone, he will already be gone by now, there won’t be much difference.”Olivia knew that she was right, so she nodded. “Alright, I’ll go home then.”Although she said that she was going home, she still felt anxious about it.‘What for?‘To witness the two lovebirds?‘Or to get into a brawl with Dorothy?’No matter which option she opted for, she was tired of dealing with it, plus she was afraid that John might stop her from going out. Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. It was a call from John.Her heart shivered. Just as she wanted to pick it up, Zyla snatched her phone away and hung it up directly.“Sis Liv, stay with me tonight a
“Alright.”John’s tone was rather stiff, which made Dorothy anxious.“Okay Johnny, don’t forget to eat, I shall not disturb you anymore.”Hearing that, John felt that he might have been too fierce earlier and he spoke gentler, “Okay, I am sorry if I sounded harsh earlier, rest well.”That being said, he ended the call.Although he sounded kind, he was still irritated when hearing her voice.He used to like Olivia being coquettish because her voice was tender and sweet, just like a gummy candy. Yet, Dorothy’s way of being coquettish was different, it sounded strange and stiff which annoyed him in the back of his mind.Then again, she saved his life so he would always assume that he was just overthinking. At this time in Golden Hills Apartment…The two finished dinner and continued watching TV while enjoying their fruit juice peacefully.Suddenly, Zyla remembered something and looked at Olivia in shock. “Sis Liv, you’re supposed to go back to the hospital for a maternity che
Olivia walked out of the consultation room in a daze while clenching the results in her hands and her mind was all over whatever the doctor mentioned. ‘Only one kidney, I only have one kidney…’Even if she had an idea in her mind, she dared not continue to imagine.Zyla waited for her in the corridor and upon seeing her lost expression, she quickly went up to her. “Sis Liv, what’s wrong? Is it the baby? Or did your cancer get worse?”Olivia was taken aback and she shook her head. “No… Nothing.”“Sis Liv, you do not look okay at all. If there’s anything, we can settle your illness first then have another baby.”Compared to the baby, Zyla was more concerned about Olivia’s health.She had witnessed Olivia being heavily injured in the hospital bed and she could never imagine how she would be able to have kids. Olivia pursed her lips and forced a smile. “I am fine, really.”She showed the examination results to Zyla. “Look, the baby is healthy, so is my body.” ‘Just that I have o
