“Who are you? Grandpa, I don’t want her to treat me anymore.”
Marina felt an instinctive fear. She could sense the hatred the woman
had for her. The woman also reminded her of Olivia.
After Olivia left all those years ago, no one heard from her again. Some people said that she was already dead.
No matter where she was, this person before her shouldn’t be Olivia,
right?
Olivia was calm. “I was just commenting on the discussion between
you and Mr. Miller. Why are you acting so suspicious? Did you really do something bad?”
Marina was the one that caused the deaths of both Chloe and Jeff.
She deserved to rot in hell.
“Marina, you’re being too sensitive. The doctor is very busy. We only
managed to get her to come after contacting her multiple times.
“Stop overthinking and endure the pain. It’s all so you could stand up
again.”
“Endure the pain? How much longer do I have to endure it?”
“You need to go through three months of treatment. If the results are
positive, the timeframe could be shorter. We’ll start the surgery after
the treatment.”
“Three months!”

That would mean she would have to endure this kind of torture for
almost 100 days. Marina shuddered at the thought.
Finally, all the needles had been stuck into her legs. She felt pain
emanating from every single pressure point. Marina’s face paled, and
she was covered in sweat.
“Keep it like this for 30 minutes.”
Marina thought the torture Fabian put her in was already hell. But that was nothing compared to the pain she felt at the moment.
As the sun was setting, Olivia collected the needles and said, “Soak
her feet and apply the ointment before I get here next time. I’ll only be performing acupuncture, okay?”
Fabian nodded. “Thanks. It’s getting late. Why don’t you eat dinner
with us before you leave?”
“Alright, but just this once. You don’t need to prepare food for me next
time.”
Olivia acted very coldly and indifferent the whole time.
“Understood.” ·
Fabion handed Olivia a ch*ck for two million dollars. “This is the
payment for the treatment. I’ll pay you handsomely when my sister is
able to stand up.”
Olivia didn’t turn him down. “We’ll talk about that when the time
comes.”
When they were at the dining table, Marina initially didn’t have the

energy to get up. But Ethan was there, so she had to eat with them no
matter what.
The seat next to Marina was empty, but Ethan went to sit next to
Olivia.
“My ch*st hurts, Vanessa. When can you take a look at it for me?”
Olivia didn’t even raise her head.
“It’s just a minor issue, Mr. Miller. You just have to get some herbal
medicine from an experienced doctor.”
“Ethan, this is your favorite dish. I specifically asked the chefs to
prepare it for you.”
Marina suddenly butted in and brought some food over to Ethan with
great effort.
“I used to like it because it was one of the dishes Liv used to make.
What I liked was Liv, not the dish itself.”
Olivia almost choked on the food she was eating from the s
his sudden confession.
What was wrong with Ethan? Was he possessed?
Marina’s gaze was filled with disappointment. “You two have been
divorced for so many years. Why are you still thinking of her?”
Ethan retorted, “Should I be thinking of you instead?”
Otto cleared his throat. “Let’s eat. Ethan finally came to visit. Let’s not
talk about that.”
Marina had no choice but to shut up. Then, she saw Ethan putting
Chapter 1079
some meatballs on Olivia’s plate.
“This is an Aldenvine specialty cuisine. Give it a try and see if you like
it.”
Olivia used to love spicy food. This was one of the few non-spicy
dishes that she liked.
She would cook it herself occasionally. Ethan remembered all her
preferences.
“Thanks.”
Marina’s eyes widened in shock. Why would Ethan be so nice to a
stranger?
Fabian suddenly asked, “Your accent sounds very local. Are you from
Aldenvine, Vanessa?”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
