Chapter 365
Olivia immediately sent Chris to the emergency room. “How is he, doctor?”
“Don’t worry. It looks like he just fainted from exhaustion. I’ll be able to confirm that after some check-ups.”
Olivia was relieved, but she stayed by Chris’ side and poured him a gla*s of warm water after he woke up.
“Mr. Carlton, didn’t I tell you that your b*dy is in bad shape and that you need to rest?”
Shaking his head, Chris said, “I’m fine. I’ve always been healthy.”
“No matter how healthy you are, your b*dy won’t be able to take constant all-nighters. If you keep this up, you might be gone before Ms. Parker. I’ll call Marina over to take care of you.”
Chris grabbed her hand and stopped her. He said with a conflicted expression, “Don’t call her, please. I’d die faster if she was here.
“It’s embarra*sing to bring it up, but Chloe had given her all the love she could ever need all these years. It was because her mother died early, and Chloe was separated from you.
“Marina became spoiled because Chloe doted on her too much. I had tried to intervene before, but Chloe would always defend her. And Marina’s become like this because of our failed parenting.”
Olivia was the victim of Marina’s antics, yet she was the one who had to comfort Chris.
“Mr. Carlton, don’t be too sad. Things will get better.”
“Thanks, Olivia.”
Chris’ eyes were full of love as he looked at Olivia. He began to wish that Olivia was his daughter instead.
“If you don’t trust anyone else, I can stay here tonight to take care of Ms. Parker. Even though we aren’t blood-related, I’ve called her my mom for so many years.”
“I’m just happy that you can forgive her and take care of her. She’ll be happy to know this.”
“Mr. Carlton, rest well tonight. I’ll handle things for now.”
Olivia began to help take care of both Chris and Chloe. She didn’t expect to find herself taking care of them when Chris basically captured her and brought her back here.
She wasn’t sure if it was because Chris reminded her of Jeff or because Chris could help her uncover the truth of her origin.
Chapter 345
The incident happened so many years ago, and there were no leads. Tracking Chloe’s daughter down would take more than a couple of days.
Olivia was anxious, but Chris was even more so. He couldn’t wait to find where Chloe’s daughter was.
Olivia wanted to send Ethan a message telling him that she wasn’t going back after she had calmed Chris down. It was then she realized that she had blocked Ethan’s number a long time
ago.
She unblocked his number and gave him a brief description of the situation through text. Ethan replied instantly.
Olivia looked at his reply with a bitter smile. Their past chat logs were still there. She scrolled up and looked at them. Most of them were her messages to him. Ethan would barely reply once in every ten messages.
She looked at her messages that were begging for him to come home. It had only been six months since. But Olivia felt like it had been ages.
She put away her phone and returned to Chloe’s ward.
It was unclear what Chloe was thinking about, but she was wiping her tears. When she saw Olivia entering the ward, she hastily wiped away her tears and smiled at her. “What are you doing back here, Liv?”
“Mr. Carlton isn’t looking too good because he’s been staying up every night. I’ll be taking over for him to take care of you tonight.”
Chloe quickly said, “There’s no need for that. You should go home and rest. I have caregivers taking care of me. I’ll be fine.”
“Mr. Carlton is worried about you. He’s been with you every night you’re here. I have to say, he’s really good to you.”
Uneasiness flashed across Chloe’s face. “I’m sorry, Olivia.”
“I had blamed you before. I even hated you. Our relationship was over the moment you chose Marina over me.
“But I was able to forgive you after seeing you like this. I don’t have the right to blame Since we can’t be mother and daughter, you can just treat me like a junior.”
you.
Chloe started to sob again. She was regretting everything she had done to Olivia.
She said emotionally, “I wonder who your biological mother is. She’s a lucky woman to have a great daughter like you.”
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 …
