Chapter 202

Olivia thought she was a goner. She had begun to recover after the chemotherapy, even if it left her b*dy weak at first.
Maybe it was because she was in a better mood when she was on the island.
She felt like she was slowly getting better and had not vomited blood in a while.
She didn’t know if it was because she got emotional. But she had never vomited so much blood before.
It was like red was all she saw. She fainted despite her best efforts to stay conscious.
When she opened her eyes again, she immediately smelled disinfectant.
She noticed the walls around her were white. Her stomach seemed to be better. It didn’t hurt as much.
“Olivia, you’re awake! Are you feeling better?” A familiar male voice came from beside her. She looked toward the voice.
It was Colin whom she met on the cruise ship. His eyes were filled with concern.
Olivia had just regained consciousness. She said weakly, “Did you save me?”
“That’s right. I saw you on the side of the road as I was heading out. You had blood all over you. I was scared to death.”
Colin scratched his head and said with an embarra*sed expression, “I’m sorry, Olivia.
“I wanted to apologize to you for what happened on the ship. But I couldn’t reach your phone.”
“It’s okay. I understand. It was just an accident.”
Olivia looked at the needle in her arm. Half of the liquid was still in the IV bag.
“That’s right. Is Mr. Fordham doing well? I’ve just returned from overseas.
“I wanted to visit him, but I didn’t want to intrude.”
Olivia’s eyes darkened at the mention of Jeff. “He isn’t doing too good. He hasn’t regained consciousness yet.
“I appreciate the sentiment. Visitation is not allowed yet.”
“I understand. You have to stay strong, Olivia. Everything will be better.” Colin consoled Olivia.
He then asked, “Are you sick? I saw a lot of blood on your clothes, but I didn’t see any wounds.”
Olivia smiled weakly and said, “I’m fine. I accidentally bumped my nose and had a nosebleed earlier. Did it look scary?”
Colin patted himself on the ch*st and said, “The bloody stains were scary. But I’m relieved that you’re okay.”
“Don’t worry. Of course, I’m okay.” Olivia reached for her phone on the nightstand. She realized that it had shut down.
She knew she shouldn’t have said those words at the Carltons’ today. She knew she crossed the line with Ethan.
Olivia understood that she shouldn’t provoke him. She risked disrupting her own plans by doing that.
But she was just too angry. She wasn’t able to hold it in. She knew that Ethan probably wouldn’t let her off this time.
Colin handed her a power bank and said, “Olivia, you need to stay the night for observation. You must be hungry after sleeping for so long.
“I’ll go buy you something to eat.”
Olivia nodded and said, “Thanks.”
“No need to thank me.” Colin smiled brightly. He walked out the door with brisk steps.
A nurse came in to help her remove the needle in her hand. She said with an envious look, “Miss, your boyfriend is so good to
you.
“He had been taking care of you the whole time you were out. I’ve never seen a more caring man than him.”

Olivia was taken aback. She explained with a smile, “He’s not my boyfriend. He’s my younger brother.”
“I’m sorry! I was mistaken.” The nurse stuck her tongue out and removed the needle gently.
“Miss, your brother has booked a few medical examinations for you. It’s getting late.
“The examinations will be scheduled for tomorrow. Rest well tonight, and no food or drinks after 10:00 pm.”
“There’s no need. I’ve already done medical examinations before. It’s just a nosebleed today.
“I only fainted because I have been pretty frail.”
“Okay. But I still recommend that you do some in-depth examinations.
“After all, many things can cause a nosebleed. Your results from before might not reflect your current health. Some conditions can worsen pretty rapidly.”
“Thanks, I’ll think about it.”
Olivia got off the bed and freshened up a bit. She saw that Colin hadn’t returned yet. She went to the corridor and wanted to pay for her hospital bills.
She ran into Chloe when she stepped out of her room. She was also wearing patient attire.
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 …
