Chapter 266
1/2
Olivia’s words seemed to have angered Dr. Galloway. Her emotions changed drastically. “Why would it keep me up at night? I have nothing to be afraid of! She was a lunatic anyway. She would’ve died a few years ago if not for my care. I only sent her off. Her life was a living hell when she was there.”
“So you’re the one who pushed her off the building?”
“So what if I was? It’s all your fault. She could’ve lived if you hadn’t gone to the psychiatric hospital. It’s your fault for meddling in our business.”
Olivia suddenly thought that Dr. Galloway should be the one under psychiatric care. Her mental state was clearly problematic.
She wondered what had happened between Dr. Galloway and Belle. Why would she have such a huge reaction when Belle was mentioned?
“What about Belle’s baby? Do you know where the child is now?”
“What baby? I don’t know anything about that.”
“I had someone examine her b*dy. She had stretch marks on her b*dy. There were also signs of her having given birth in the uterus.”
Dr. Galloway shrieked at Olivia, “Does it matter if she had a baby or not? Belle…”
Olivia was about to ask her more questions about Belle when Ryan ran in and wrapped his arms around Dr. Galloway. “Calm down, Jennifer. It’s all in the past now. There’s no need to talk to her about that.”
Olivia wondered why Ryan had to say that. Did Belle’s death take a toll on Dr. Galloway? Why would that be the case?
She was the one who wanted Belle dead. Why would she go into a frenzy at the mention of Belle’s death?
Ryan took her away, and everything fell quiet once more.
Nothing made a sound in the huge room. It was so quiet that Olivia could hear the beating of her own heart. She could also make out the sound of some mice scurrying around.
She used to be afraid of mice. But she was dying soon, so she had no more energy to care about rodents.
It was as if the mice sensed that she was still alive. They only sniffed around her b*dy but never dared to come closer.
Olivia’s face was pressed against the uneven floor. It wasn’t wood or floor tiles. It felt like it was the floor of an unfinished house. She could also smell some chemicals in the air.
Olivia put the information she had together. It was an abandoned factory, and she was at the seaside. She guessed that she was probably at Eastside Harbor.
This used to be a very prosperous area. The cargo transportation business thrived here due to the harbor. Many large chemical plants were constructed here as well.
However, due to government planning and the southward shift of economic focus-along with the pollution caused by the chemical plants-many companies relocated.
As a result, this area gradually became a wasteland.
No one would know even if someone died here and their corpse was rotting. Olivia subtly pulled on her sleeve to hide the phone watch that Chloe gifted her. It was her only chance to call for help. She had to make it count.
Meanwhile, Ethan was on a helicopter that was flying away from the urban area. He felt like something was weighing down on his chest. It only grew heavier as time went on.
He felt lost and uneasy. It was like there was a voice in his mind screaming for him to go back. He looked at his phone and tapped on Olivia’s picture on WhatsApp. She had blocked him a long time ago. Their conversation stopped at the missed video calls six months ago.

He scrolled up to look at the messages. Most of them were from Olivia. He would only reply occasionally between dozens of messages. He could feel the indifference he had for her through the texts on his phone.
He didn’t know why, but he had taken everything for granted in the past. And now, all he felt was guilt. Olivia used to be the love of his life. He swore to love her forever. In the end, he was the one who hurt her most.
The helicopter was approaching an island. It was planted full of cherry blossoms, a sight to behold.
It was also the cherry blossom season when the flowers were in full bloom. Every single flower was showing off its beauty.
Ethan could only sigh even when faced with such a beautiful sight.
The cherry blossoms were meant to be a gift for Olivia, but it was just not meant to be. The helicopter slowly descended. A huge group of guests and media personnel were already gathered on the island.
Marina wanted to declare her victory to the public, so she invited a lot of reporters and influencers to witness the happiest
moment of her life.
The influencers were all over the place. They were live-streaming and interacting with their viewers. Every one of them had a lot of traffic on their live streams.
Ethan looked everywhere but didn’t see Marina. He said in an annoyed tone, “Where’s Marina?”
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 …
