Chapter 325
Back then, Chloe thought that Olivia was just rambling nonsense. But it turned out that Olivia had enrolled in a medical school
for real.
Chloe didn’t think much about it. She only thought that it was just some child’s ranting.
It was like how children talked about becoming teachers, astronauts, and firefighters.
Now, when Chloe recalled Olivia’s earnest little face, her heart ached as if it had been pierced.
Lying on the bed, Chloe couldn’t help but recall the many memories she had tossed away.
She had this child by accident. From her pregnancy until childbirth, she never had any expectations of this child.
Olivia didn’t look like her or Jeff. So, Chloe felt even more distant from her.
After Chloe had given birth, Jeff feared that it would disturb her rest, so he sent Olivia to a childcare center.
Olivia had never drunk a drop of Chloe’s breast milk. She was raised on baby formula.
Fortunately, Olivia had been a healthy child. She rarely got sick when she was young.
But Chloe kept having illnesses big and small because of her depression. Her thoughts were completely occupied by her old lover.
She never bothered to remember when Olivia began teething. She didn’t even remember when Olivia started calling her “Mom
Even when Olivia learned to walk, Chloe’s first reaction wasn’t to pick Olivia up the moment she tottered up to her leg. Instead, she pushed the child away.
She treated the child coldly and cruelly, but Olivia kept sticking to her since young.
“Mom, I want to eat the teddy cookies you make.”
“Mom, I’ll cook for you when I grow up.”
“Mom, our school is holding a family sports day. Are you coming?”
“Mom, don’t be sad. You’ll recover soon. When I’ve grown up and become a doctor, you won’t be sick anym
“Mom, have some water. The doctor said that drinking warm water will help you recover faster. Here, drink it. I’ll pour some more when you’re done.”
“Mom, I love you so much, but why won’t you love me?”
“Oh, I know! My love must not be strong enough, so that’s why you don’t like me. I’ll become an outstanding person so that you’ll be proud of me every day.”
“Mom, you promised to bring me to the amusement park. Don’t leave me…”
Olivia’s tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks. She even remembered the warmth of the tiny hand placed on her forehead and the worried eyes looking at her.
Wiping her tears, Chloe removed the blanket and got off the bed.
She walked slowly toward the table. She had just touched the gla*s when darkness blotted out her vision.
With a crash, she fell to the floor along with the gla*s.
The sudden noise startled Marina. Marins frowned as she looked at Chloe.
“What are you doing this time? I’m warning you, I’m not a fool like Dad. I won’t believe women like you. Hurry and get up. 1 won’t be fooled by people playing the victim.”
Chloe spent more than ten years treating Marina with sincerity and love. But Marina repaid her with insults instead.
Chapter 325
Chloe opened her mouth to explain. “I’m not pretending. I don’t have the strength. Help me up, please ”
“You don’t have strength? Hah, you looked quite lively when you seduced my dad back then.”
Marina watched her phone screen turn black. Then, she tossed her phone away and stood up.
Crossing her arms, she looked coldly at Chloe. “There are no outsiders here, so why are you pretending?
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. You’re a whore, so it’s no wonder that your daughter is a wench too.”
Chloe had stopped sobbing earlier, but now, the tears began falling again. As if her insults weren’t enough, Marina even kicked Chloe.
“Who are you crying for? Just get up already.”
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 …
