Chapter 1118
Olivia said calmly, “Mr. Heath, I don’t want to seem rude, but Mr. Heath is no longer in a critical condition. He just needs some time and care. His b*dy would eventually recover.
“My presence wouldn’t be needed. Besides, your sister doesn’t want me around. I don’t want to be the source of strife in your family.”
Since Linus visited her in person, he probably didn’t just want
treat Mason.
He wanted a great doctor like her close by so she would be able
take care of any emergencies that might arise.
A talent like her had to be kept close by.
“We’ve already been through that. My sister has been spoiled by our
family. The things she said and did to you were very rude.
“I apologize in her stead. I guarantee that it won’t happen again.”
“Since you said that, I can get on board. But I have a few conditions.
“The first one is that I have some patients in other places, too. You
can’t restrict my freedom.”
“Naturally. But since you would be working for my father, you have to be aware of some things even if we don’t fully restrict your freedom.
“Of course, that’s up for discussion. Is there anything else?”
“I want to join the medical team and do research with them. Is that
okay?”

“That’s perfectly fine. It’s good that you have that drive to improve.
“We’ll provide you with all the best resources to study medicine, but you need to acquire approval in advance if you want to leave the
country.”
Olivia mentioned several more conditions, which Linus happily agreed
“Alright, I don’t have any other issues.”
Linus reached out. “Then, I hope we have a fruitful relationship.”
They shook hands briefly.
Linus’ hand had more calluses than Ethan’s. It was very rough.
On the other hand, Linus didn’t expect Olivia’s hand to be so smooth,
even though she was a doctor.
Although their hands only touched for an instant, it was enough to
surprise him.
A person like him would shake hands with people, both men and women, quite frequently. It was the first time he touched such a soft
and smooth palm.
“If you’re okay with it, we should head back together. My father has gotten used to the herbal meals you made for him.
“He wasn’t able to get used to the food other people made even if
they followed your recipe.”
“Alright, let’s go.”

Olivia didn’t make a fuss. “But I haven’t had breakfast yet. Can you
wait for 30 minutes?”
“Go ahead.”
“Have you eaten?”
“I have- …”
Before he could finish his reply, his stomach started to rumble. He
scratched his head. “I haven’t eaten.”
Olivia smiled. “I knew it. Please wait for a moment. I’ll make two
plates of pasta, and we can eat together.”
Linus was stunned. This face of Olivia looked very plain normally.
She could only be described as decent-looking at best. But when she
smiled, it felt like a pretty flower had bloomed.
Olivia put on her apron and went to the backyard to get some basil
and kale.
Then, she started cooking up a storm, making all sorts of noises
while doing so.
Two plates of pasta were quickly served. The ingredients were simple,
but the food smelled amazing.
Linus couldn’t help but sing her praises. “You’re such a great cook. No
wonder my father misses her cooking.”
“I’ve heard that you’re stationed at the borders all year long. The conditions are harsh there, and you don’t have many ingredients to
cook.

“That’s why you would feel like a simple plate of pasta is delicious.”
“That’s true. But a storm is coming. I won’t be leaving in the
foreseeable future.”
“Where is it coming to?”
Linus put down his cutleries and looked straight at her. “There are
some things you’re better off not knowing.”

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 …
