Chapter 1164
Two days later, Julia light-heartedly called Linus to meet up.
“Linus, here are the perfumes you told me to look for.”
“Give ’em.”
Lines of perfumes were arranged before her. She proffered them to
him carefully. “Here. They’re herbal-scented perfumes. They’re that
popular, and they might not smell that nice. Give them a try.”
“How bad could they be?”
Olivia’s natural scent mesmerized him. Although it was the scent of
herbs, it didn’t put him off.
Instead, he found himself addicted to it.
The moment he opened the lid of one, a pungent scent rushed to his
head and he almost fainted.
It indeed smelled bad.
He opened over a hundred perfumes one by one.
“Is there any that you like?”
“It’s not right.”
“What is?”
“It doesn’t smell like a certain herb but more like a bunch of them
mixed together. I can’t tell what it is. Anyway, the fragrance I’m
looking for isn’t strong. It’s mild and it smells nice.”
Julia deflated. “There’s no such thing unless it’s the person’s natural
scent. But who would naturally smell like herbs?”
“Natural scent…” Linus muttered.
Something crossed his mind, and he dialed a number. “I’m searching
for a person. It’s the woman who sat in front of me in that music
show.”
Disappointment descended upon her face. “Linus, do you have
someone you like?”
He hummed in response. “Sorry for the trouble I’ve caused. I’ll pay for
these perfumes.” He stood up because he had something else to
attend to.
There was a schedule to welcome the envoys. Time was running out,
and he needed to rush to the venue.
It was Olivia’s first time attending such a grand party. Ethan mingled
in the crowd with a mask on his face.
As the doctor, she could only follow him from a distance so that she
could react in time for emergency situations.
Rufus was in her company. While people’s attention was focused on
those prominent figures, Rufus sneaked his way to Olivia.
He lowered his voice. “How have you been these years, Olivia?”
“I’m doing great, Mr. Moran. Thanks for the concern.”
“I heard stories about you. Why didn’t you reach out to me when you
were at a dead end?”
“I had it coming for giving up on my studies. It’d be shameless of me to come beg you. Don’t worry, difficult times are over. I’m doing great right now. I didn’t bring disgrace to your name. I remember your
advice.”
His emotions remained unplacated still.
Her decision to relinquish everything and leave back then made him
age overnight. Fortunately, she had set her mind to pick up medicine
again.
“As I’ve said, you’re born to be a skillful doctor. I’m proud of what
-you’ve achieved today.”
They shared a smile, for they had finally met each other at the top.
Like those days in college, Rufus began instilling knowledge in her as
she followed him.
The meal was followed by a visit to the maritime museum, which was
the next plan on schedule.
Olivia glanced at her memo at times
The important figures’ medical histories were etched in her head.
Even medicines were prepared in case of emergency.
“You’re getting better,” Rufus couldn’t help but praise her. “You’re no longer the inexperienced intern.”
“It’s all thanks to your good teaching, Mr. Moran.”
“You’re getting better at buttering people up too.” It saddened him
that people only grew up from hardships.
Olivia suffered a lot to come this far and yet he didn’t know anything.

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 …
