Chapter 403
Avery let out a bitter smile. “Logically speaking, it is easy to find a donor from the large world population. But it’s hard to look for a donor through the normal procedures.”
Olivia understood what she meant immediately. Peace’s Embrace and Toxic Hive split ways because of the difference in management ideology.
Only a minority of people were willing to donate their organs. That was why a lot of lowly people got involved in human trafficking in the black market.
A righteous person like Avery would never want to receive an organ through illegal means.
“Mr. Avery, would you like to have a crossmatch test with me before you leave?”
“Olivia, what do you mean?”
She smiled. “As you said, I do think that we’re somehow destined to meet each other. My kidney might be compatible with yours. If it’s a match, can I strike a deal with you?”
Avery frowned. “Olivia, what are you trying to do? You can just tell me. I’ll help you out if it’s something within my jurisdiction.”
“We can talk about that after we do the crossmatch test. It’s alright. Every person has two kidneys. It won’t hurt to lose one,
will it?”
She was suffering from a terminal illness anyway. It would be great if she could help others before dying.
Still, everything in this world came with a price. Avery could do something for her in return.
He looked at her. Olivia was only 21 years old, but she acted like an old person. It pained him to see her acting this way.
For a brief moment, he even thought of how fortunate it would be if she was his younger sister.
That way, he had the reasons to care for her and protect her.
“Is that alright with you, Mr. Avery?” Olivia reconfirmed his willingness.
He felt helpless by her persistence. “Alright, alright.”
Avery’s crossmatch test had failed multiple times, so he didn’t believe that Olivia would be a compatible donor.
To him, the request appeared to be a one-sided wish from her.
Once the result was out, it would burn her hope into ashes anyway.
Avery drove Olivia away from the castle. Olivia didn’t care about the rest of the conversation between Ethan and Leia.
In short, she had put an end to her feelings toward Ethan.
It was a loop.
Never once had he stood on her side in the face of either Marina or Leia,
So what if Olivia was aware that Ethan was set up and kept in the dark? He was the perpetrator in the end.
Karma should come to his doorstep similar to what it did to Marina,
He didn’t deserve a smidgen of pity from others.
Olivia and Avery did the crossmatch test overnight. After that, she stayed in the hospital. She stood outside of the ICU, watching Chloe.
Olivia supposed that this was the only chance she could keep Chloe company.
She had called Chloe “Mom” for her whole life, yet she had to watch Chloe leave the world.

Olivia looked through the thick gla*s of the window. Chloe had her eyes shut tight as though she was in a deep sleep.
At the break of the dawn, Olivia was still standing there.
When the sun rose, she saw Ethan.
He was wandering around with hurried steps. His worried expression faded as soon as he saw her.
“Liv.” His voice was hoarse because he had spent the night without sleep.
Compared to the storm of emotions in his eyes, she appeared rather calm-so calm that it gave one goosebumps.
Olivia gazed at him indifferently. It was rare for her to see such an expression on his face. “You’ve come.”
He walked up to her. “Where did you and Avery go last night?”
“As you can see, we came to the hospital. Mom doesn’t have much time left. I want to keep her company until her final moments.”
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 …
