Chapter 322

Chris reached out for Olivia just as Ethan had expected.Back when Olivia was about to die, the majority of the Carltons chose to let Marina live instead of her. Chris was the only one who didn't make a decision.Hence, Olivia didn't hang up. She said in a distanced and polite way, "Yes, it's me.""I knew it! You're still alive!"Chris sounded very excited. Fortunately, Olivia had asked someone to deliver the teddy phone watch. It was how they figured out that she was still alive.Chris only dialed her number to see if it would work. He didn't expect the call to go through."Mr. Carlton, I'm alive, but it doesn't mean that I will donate the bone marrow to your wife."Before he could speak, Olivia declined his reason for calling."Olivia, I want to talk with you.""I'm afraid that's not possible."Olivia lay on the reclining chair. She held a coconut in her hands, enjoying the comforting sea breeze. It felt like a warm hand caressing her cheek.She thought that even the sea b

Chris spoke animatedly, and he was wholly sincere about it. He didn't fake anything, and he even spoke as if he were there in person.But in the end, when Olivia provided him with such a response, he didn't know how to react.He still had many things to say, but now, they were stuck in his throat."Olivia, I'm saying all this sincerely. I'm not faking anything.""I know. That's why I didn't hang up."Chris was probably the only person with integrity in the Carlton family. Olivia didn't mock him. Instead, she politely listened to everything he had to say."Olivia, I forgot to tell you this. Donating bone marrow won't affect a healthy person. They will recover in about 10 days."It's not the same as donating kidneys, which can bring irreversible harm."Olivia replied, "Mr. Carlton, I learned medicine before. I understand everything you talked about.""Then …""I don't want to donate it."Chris sighed. "You won't be doing it for free. Just name your price. I can pay you no matt

Olivia plumped up rather quickly. She looked much better now.Even her stomach hadn't hurt for days.Time seemed to have paused on this island.There were many servants on the island. There were also more than ten chefs who made meals for her every day.There were 20 gardeners and several dozen servants who did odd jobs and housekeeping. Heck, there was even a doctor here.Many of them were old servants from the old and new Miller residences.Ethan could pamper her very well if he wanted to. To ease her loneliness, the old servants took care of her as if she were their own family.In reality, she wasn't bored on the island at all. Chickens, ducks, and geese were reared here. Olivia had also been busying herself with helping rabbits give birth. She would also collect eggs from the coop and shear the young lambs.She had once decided to roast one of the lambs. But then, the lamb kept bleating and following her. Hence, Olivia gave up her desire to eat a whole roasted lamb.Ever

Back then, Chloe thought that Olivia was just rambling nonsense. But it turned out that Olivia had enrolled in a medical school for real.Chloe didn't think much about it. She only thought that it was just some child's ranting.It was like how children talked about becoming teachers, astronauts, and firefighters.Now, when Chloe recalled Olivia's earnest little face, her heart ached as if it had been pierced.Lying on the bed, Chloe couldn't help but recall the many memories she had tossed away.She had this child by accident. From her pregnancy until childbirth, she never had any expectations of this child.Olivia didn't look like her or Jeff. So, Chloe felt even more distant from her.After Chloe had given birth, Jeff feared that it would disturb her rest, so he sent Olivia to a childcare center.Olivia had never drunk a drop of Chloe's breast milk. She was raised on baby formula.Fortunately, Olivia had been a healthy child. She rarely got sick when she was young.But Chlo

After kicking Chloe a few times, Marina still wasn't satisfied. So, she started hurling insults at Chloe. She was venting all the dissatisfaction she felt toward Chloe and Olivia.Chloe's face turned paler. Beads of sweat also appeared on her forehead. She didn't have the energy to argue anymore, so she could only hang her head.Marina kicked at Chloe with her toes. "Hey, quit pretending you're dead …"Just then, the door opened. Chris had gone home to wash up and change his clothes, then rushed back as soon as he could. He happened to witness the scene."What are you doing?" Chris roared like a furious lion.Marina was stunned at the spot. She said, "Dad, she fell on purpose! She just wants you to feel bad for her! Don't be tricked by her! She's—"Before she could finish speaking, Chris had helped Chloe up. When Chloe raised her head, blood streamed out of her nose.In an instant, her clothes were soaked with blood.Marina was startled as well. She thought that Chloe was playi

Marina wanted to rant very badly, but she was forced to hold her tongue. She had no idea since when Ethan refused to even utter a word to her."Ethan, didn't you see my face?"It was only then that Ethan looked up. He saw her red cheeks sporting clear handprints."Who hit you?""My dad.""Then I can't do anything about it." Upon returning to his seat, Ethan flipped open a folder.He couldn't possibly ask Chris to take responsibility, after all.His connections to the Carltons aside, Ethan respected Chris as a person.Seeing his nonchalance, Marina hastily ran toward him. "If Olivia got hurt, would you be this cold to her too?"Ethan wanted to say that Marina wasn't worthy enough to be compared to Olivia. But when he thought about the deceased Kurt, he chose not to say it.He simply said, "I'll ask Kelvin to send you to the hospital.""I am your fiancée!"Marina was upset with Ethan's half-hearted attitude. In the past, he was never intimate with her, but at least he was gen

Ethan and Kurt were cousins, and they looked alike. Kurt had been in love with Marina since they were young, but Ethan was the one Marina liked. So they had been in a love triangle for quite some time. During one of Marina's birthday parties, Kurt attended, but Ethan didn't. Marina got drunk and thought Kurt was Ethan. She got pregnant after that. That was one of the happiest times in Kurt's life. He cared for her attentively and was making preparations to marry her. He once told Ethan that he wanted to leave the life of danger behind him because he wanted to be there for Marina and his child. Ethan agreed to let him go after one last mission. But fate was cruel to Kurt. He lost his life in the final mission. Before he died, he asked Ethan to take care of Marina in his stead. Kurt never found out that Marina never loved him. He didn't know that their one night of passion resulted from her being drunk. She wouldn't have slept with him otherwise. She even thought about having

At the hospital, Chloe was out of danger after some emergency medical treatment. But she looked frail and pitiable.Chris held her hand that wasn't hooked to the IV drip and looked at her sorrowfully. Chloe's health had worsened immensely in a short amount of time. "I'm sorry, Chloe. It's my fault Marina turned out like that."He didn't know the whole story, but he was sure Marina had done more horrible things than he imagined. Chloe wouldn't have been so angry otherwise. Chloe smiled weakly. "It's okay, I'm fine. You don't have to blame Marina. She's just a kid.""She's the mother of two children. She's not a child anymore. I'm aware of what kind of person my daughter is. She has always blamed you for what happened to her mother."Chloe grasped Chris' hand. "I can understand how she feels. She lost her mother at such a young age. It's natural for her to hate me. I don't blame her.""Sometimes, I wish you'd at least get angry at her. I'd feel better that way. I'll ask her to s

Chris saw that Ethan didn't respond, so he added, "Donating her bone marrow is different from donating her kidney. No harm will come to her body. I know she's still mad about what happened during the kidnapping. "But they're mother and daughter, after all. She shouldn't hold a grudge against her mother. Let me meet with her. There are some things that I need to say to her in person.""Mr. Carlton, I'm not holding her captive. Her phone is accessible. You're here because she isn't willing to meet with you, right?"Ethan exhaled some smoke with his head tilted upward. "Since she has already decided, I don't want to trouble her with more issues. She suffered significant psychological trauma in that kidnapping."The conversations between them had always been short and straight to the point. But Chris had no choice but to lay his pride down for Chloe's sake. "Ethan, I know you don't have feelings for Marina. You're marrying her because you want our family to back you, right?""That'

Chapter 331

Olivia lazed around on the island for a few days. She did nothing but sleep and eat the whole time. The quality of her life improved immensely. She walked around the beach barefooted while carrying a bucket in hand. She would grab any sand crabs she saw with tongs. Snowball wanted to help her, but the sand was too hot for her, so she moved away. Olivia went to the livestock area after she had caught quite a few sand crabs. She poured the sand carbs out, which caused the farm animals to chase after them. Her mood improved as she looked at the lively animals. Then, she went back to her room to shower in preparation for dinner. She happened to get a call from Colin."Olivia, how have you been?""I've been pretty well. I've been eating, drinking, and sleeping well. I don't have to worry about getting kidnapped either.""That's great. I just wanted to inform you that your father has arrived at the destination safely. The doctors on the island have just examined him. His body is
