Chapter 254
Olivia walked toward the elevator with her cardboard box in hand. An imposing woman walked toward her. The woman was the leader of Team B.
The woman crossed her arms as a look of disdain appeared on her face.
“What did I say? The position you get from sleeping around won’t last.
People showed their ugliest sides to those they had never talked to before. With just a few words, they could show the greatest malice toward strangers.
Clara was one such person. Olivia achieved something she couldn’t. So, she tried to harm Olivia on several occasions.
Olivia was mad at the moment. Straightening herself, she retorted, “Did you forget to brush your teeth before leaving the house today? It stinks.”
“What did you say?” Clara’s sleek eyebrows creased as the look in her eyes turned sharp.
Olivia met her gaze coldly. “Of all the skills you could pick up, you decided to have a sharp and nasty tongue. Do I even know you? Why do you keep insulting me?
“Can you hear me this time? If not, I’ll get someone to carve my words on your tombstone.”
Clara was a team leader, after all. She had never met a newbie who talked to her like this. Her expression instantly changed.
Olivia couldn’t be bothered with her. Shoving her aside, Olivia went inside the elevator.
When Olivia left the building, even the weather was bad. It was supposed to be a sunny day, but it suddenly started raining. Olivia turned around to look at the building that reached the skies. She knew that he was looking at her through the floor-to- ceiling windows on the top floor.
She couldn’t see his figure from that height.
It felt like a barrier that kept them apart. Since the beginning, they weren’t meant for each other.
Olivia smiled. Love was wonderful because it pushed all the troubles and problems onto mar
Marriage was no more than a scattered mess.
She came alone, and she would leave just like that as well.
For the next few days, Olivia’s life slowed down. Every day, she would spend long hours staying by Jeff’s side.
Her treatment plan was ready as well. After her surgery, she would have to go through two cycles of chemo and 28 rounds of radiation therapy.
Dr. Scott pushed the gla*ses on his nose as he explained patiently to her, “Ms. Fordham, even though your condition isn’t great, your b*dy tolerates medication well.
“After all, just one round of chemo yielded amazing effects. You just need to strengthen your b*dy a little after the surgery. Then, your chances of surviving the next five years will increase.”
For cancer patients, five years was a critical period. If they didn’t relapse within five years after the treatment, they could relax and take it easy.
“When is the surgery?”
Dr. Scott replied, “This Friday. Our hospital was originally lacking in resources to deal with tumors. But Dr. Rogers had asked that you be treated well, after all.
“Moreover, your condition can’t afford any delays, so we managed to adjust the schedule for you.”
Olivia mumbled, “Friday… It was also the day of Ethan and Marina’s engagement.”

“Is there a problem, Ms. Fordham?”
“No.”

“That’s good to hear. Here are some things you should look out for. Please be careful for the next few days.”
Dr. Scott gave her a few sheets of paper. As if remembering something, he asked, “I heard that your father is staying in the hospital as well.
“When the time comes, you’ll need a family member to sign the risk acknowledgment letter. Who will be signing for you, Ms. Fordham?”
Chloe’s face flashed across Olivia’s mind. She suppressed the bitterness welling up in her throat. “I don’t have any family. Are friends okay?”
“It would be best if it’s a direct relative or a lover. You’re married, right? What about your husband?”
“I’m divorced.”
“Then-
”
Olivia interrupted coldly, “I don’t have an ex-husband. I’m a widow.”
Dr. Scott touched his nose awkwardly. “I’m sorry for bringing up a hard past.
”
There wasn’t an expression on Olivia’s face. She didn’t look sad at all. “It’s okay. I’m quite happy that he died.”
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 …
