Chapter 1161
Olivia asked an errand boy to send the cream to Jenna first thing the
next morning.
She returned to the Heath residence, where it had been peaceful the
past two days.
Krystal was preoccupied because of Yale. Despite the resentment,
she went along with him because she had promised her parents.
Thanks to her dates, the Heath residence was peaceful these two
days.
“You’re back. Come, take a look at this painting.” Mason beckoned
Olivia over.
She stood next to him. “The colors complement each other well. You
can hang it in a museum.”
Mason chuckled. “Oh, stop that.”
“You look better.”
“And it’s all thanks to you. I think I can go to work starting tomorrow. Of course, you have to come along just in case. Is that fine with you?”
“I’m fine with it. Mr. Linus mentioned it before. I won’t leave until you
fully recover.”
“I’m glad to hear that. I missed you when you weren’t around these
two days.”
A warm smile cracked on her face. “You’re simply used to me talking
to you.”
“Yeah. A lot of people eye for a chance to butter me up because of my power. Not even my wife speaks to me often. You’re the only one I
can talk to.”
Olivia stuck out a tongue. “Don’t tell me too much, though. I’m afraid I
won’t be able to leave in the end.”
“Must you leave? If you wish to stay, I can satisfy any request of yours
-no matter what it is.”
“Grandpa Mason, once you recover, I won’t have any reason to stay. I
hope you’ll understand that.”
She continued playfully, “I’m still young. I don’t wanna be an office
worker. The world is big, and I have to see it myself. But it’ll take one
call for me to sprint all the way here. Frankly speaking, I think we click.
“Fine. I won’t force you to stay. If you must leave, please make the
departure later. How about after the new year?”
“Okay.”
Olivia kept him company the whole morning. “I’ll go make you lunch.
Rest up.”
“Okay.”
Just as she was going to leave, Linus entered the room.
Due to their previous encounter outside, guilt clenched her heart when
she saw him.
“Hi, Mr. Linus,” she greeted as usual.
He offered a nod of acknowledgment. “You’re back.”
“I’ll leave you guys alone.”
Wearing an aloof expression, he stopped her from closing the door. ” Vanessa, I have something to talk to you about later.”
She masked her surprise. “Sure.”
Questions formed in her head the moment the door was closed.
“Did he know? Should I run away?”
Running away now was useless anyway. Since she was recommended by Ethan, he might get into trouble if she ran away.
She wondered if she was being in her head. It could be an inquiry
about Mason’s recovery.
Those thoughts flying in her head distracted her when she was
cutting the vegetables.
The sharp edge of the knife cut her finger, and blood oozed out of the
wound.
She hissed in pain.
A silhouette flew over in a heartbeat. “You alright?”
He shoved her fingertip into his mouth, sucking the blood before she could respond to it.
She had never been this intimate with another man aside from Ethan.
His wet and soft tongue licked her fingertip. Before Olivia could
withdraw her hand, a female voice shouted, “W-What are you guys
doing!”

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 …
