Chapter 336
Reality proved that a former long-distance running champion was no match for well-trained military men.
In less than 50 meters, Olivia was subdued by one of Chris’ men. She was pinned to the ground in a neck hold with her face against the scorching sand.
Chris quickly said, “Don’t hurt her. She’s a guest.”
Olivia was captured, and there was some sand on her right cheek. She spat some sand out of her mouth before saying, “So this is how you treat guests?”
Chris took out a handkerchief and cleaned her face himself. “Sorry, Olivia.”
Olivia was put on the helicopter just like that.
Chris smiled bitterly when he met her eyes, which were filled with hatred.
“Olivia, you’re Chloe’s only child. I want to take care of you. It’s not my wish for things to turn out like this. I hope you can
understand.”
“I can’t, nor do I want to.”
Olivia looked outside the window. The beautiful island was getting farther and farther from her like it was all a dream.
The person who had sworn to protect her had given her up again.
“I don’t understand. Donating your bone marrow won’t affect your health. Why are you so unwilling to help your mother?”
“You’re not me. You don’t know the pain I’ve been through.”
The sad thing was, she didn’t use to think what Chloe had put her through was pain. She had tried to find excuses for Chloe’s actions repeatedly.
“Our relationship was done the moment she chose for Marina to live and for me to die. Like I said, I’ve already paid her back with my life.”
Chris tried to convince Olivia again but to no avail. Olivia didn’t respond and treated him like he was invisible.
As the sun set, Olivia felt like there was only the sky and the ocean in the world. There wasn’t a glimmer of lig in the skies, and the ocean looked chilling. It was like a monster hiding in the dark, and it would consume her the next sec
She felt more uneasy the closer they got to Aldenvine.
The weather near Aldenvine was cloudy, unlike the weather back on the island. The rain had started to fall. It was another
rainy day.
Although she knew there were a lot of thunderstorms in the spring, Olivia still hated the rain.
Chris, who was leaning back on the chair, had fallen asleep. He probably felt relaxed because he had Olivia with him. Whe he felt some light coming from outside, he opened his eyes to look.
“Olivia, we’re back.”
Chris didn’t bring Olivia to the hospital because she refused to cooperate. He brought her to a villa in the suburbs.
She was dragged off the helicopter even though Chris told his men to be gentle. The b*dyguards feared that she would run, so they kept a tight grip on her hands.
“You can’t escape, Olivia. But don’t be afraid. The harvesting of the bone marrow will only hurt a little. It’ll pa*s soon.”
“Let me go!”
The icy raindrops pelted down on Olivia, and the heavy rain drowned out her voice. No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t change the situation.

She walked through the muddy ground with her eyes filled with resentment toward Ethan.
How could he disregard her wishes and make a deal with Chris like this? Why would he ever think she would still be waiting for him like she used to? And he thought that they would still have a child together?
It was truly laughable.
Olivia was placed on an operating table. A doctor in a white coat appeared in her sight shortly after.
As she struggled and squirmed, the doctor said, “Mr. Carlton, I can’t harvest her bone marrow if she moves around like this.”
Chris’ patience was growing thin.
“Make her settle down.”
“Yes, Mr. Carlton.”
The woman took a syringe out of her medical kit. The sharp needle glistened in the light.
Olivia panicked. “No, don’t do it.”
She couldn’t move because some people were holding her limbs in place. Olivia could only watch as the woman got closer to her.
The woman whispered, “We meet again.”
Olivia’s eyes widened. She had a strong feeling that the woman was the one who kidnapped her.
She looked at the woman who was wearing a white coat and a face mask. Only her eyes were visible.
Olivia felt a sting, then she lost consciousness.
The darkness consumed her.
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 …
