Chapter 1189
Olivia lowered her gaze, staying silent. Linus sighed.
“I know that you don’t want to bother us, but it’s just a matter of giving orders. Our family doesn’t lack money or people at all.
“You have always done things alone in the past, but it’s different now.
You have a family. You have us, your relatives. So don’t be scared to
trouble us.
“I’m even worried that you won’t trouble us because that would mean that you didn’t treat us as family.”
Olivia felt her heart turning warm when she heard Linus’ words. This
was a warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time, other than from Jeff.
“Uncle Linus, I’m sorry for not thinking things through earlier. I like
warm and cozy rooms. I don’t have any other requirements.”
“Alright. I’ll arrange a designer to work on that.”
“If possible, I hope that … we can have some plum trees in the yard.
There were plum trees in the Fordham residence in the past, and I
liked them a lot.”
“Sure. Anything else?”
Olivia shook her head. “No.”
“In the future, you shouldn’t be afraid when you’re around us. No matter what happens, you can talk it over with your family.
“Father is already preparing to add you to the family tree, but he
doesn’t want any unnecessary trouble to crop up, so your identity is
still a secret for now.
“He’ll announce it at the right time.”
Olivia never thought of announcing it, anyway. The arrangement
made sense.
“Okay. What about your mother?”
Linus fell silent for a moment. Then, he said, “Father is mainly trying
to guard against her.”
Olivia was stunned. “Why?”
“In reality, Dad doesn’t love her as much as we thought. I even have a
feeling that he’s just taking responsibility for my mom.”
Linus smiled helplessly. “I’m a little ashamed to say this, but my mom
is quite tricky to deal with.
“You probably already know that she drugged Ethan in private to
make sure that Ethan and my sister got married. Father and I don’t
like her tactics.
“If she knows about your existence, I’m sure she will oppose my father with all her might. So, Father decided to proceed in secret. You’ll have to endure it for some time until he has prepared
everything.”
Olivia frowned.
“I don’t care about fame or reputation. I’m glad enough to know that you guys are nice to me. I don’t want the peace in your family to be disrupted because of me.”

“Come on, even if you don’t care, we do.”
Reaching up, Linus patted Olivia on the head. “You’re a member of the
Heath family, and no one can change that fact. Don’t worry, I’m on
Father’s side.”
Olivia was a little touched. “Uncle Linus …”
“Don’t be afraid, Liv. With Father and I around, no one will be able to
bully you in the future.”
“I heard that Grandpa drove Ms. Heath out. She’s all alone out there,
right? Is she alright?”
“She was spoiled rotten. It’s not a bad thing for her to take some time
to calm down out there.”
Olivia didn’t know what to say. She felt like a blessing was suddenly
bestowed on her.
In the hospital, Krystal went through a few tests. The last test was an
ultrasound imaging.
She left the examination room, thinking that if she truly was pregnant, her father would bring her home as soon as possible.
Then, she accidentally bumped into someone.
“Sorry.” The other person had a soft voice, and her figure was
extremely slender. She looked like she could fall over if the wind was
strong enough.
Krystal glared at the person in annoyance. “Watch where you’re going!

Her gaze fell upon the pale yet exquisite face. She hated every
woman who was associated with Olivia.
When Molly saw that it was none other than Krystal, she almost cried
in terror. She kept apologizing. “S-Sorry, I didn’t mean it, I swear.”
Krystal caught sight of the marks on Molly’s neck. She snorted,
saying, “How shameless.”
With that, she turned around and left. She even cursed, “Just my luck.
I bumped into another vixen today.”

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 …
