Chapter 419
Olivia wasn’t in a good state. She was already sick, and the gunshot wound made it worse. She developed a high fever in the night.
The fever made Olivia delirious. She felt like she was floating on the sea.
She muttered, “Mom, I’m so cold… Please don’t leave me. Baby, don’t leave. Bring me with you. Living is so painful. It hurts… It really hurts.”
Colin looked at Olivia with tears in his eyes. He felt so bitter. Olivia was only 21 years old, but she had gone through so many hardships.
“Olivia, I’ll take good care of you. I swear.”
Olivia slept for a whole day before waking up. Her arm had already been bandaged. Her wrist was wrapped in white bandages, and she couldn’t see how the injury looked. She could only feel the pain
when she tried to move.
She realized it wasn’t a dream. Ethan had shot her.
“You’re awake, Olivia,” Colin said excitedly.
Olivia opened her eyes to look at him. “Where are we, Colin?”
“We’re on international waters. We’ve left Aldenvine behind, Olivia. Don’t worry. He can never find
us again.”
A hint of innocence flashed in Colin’s eyes. He didn’t look like he was a manipulative person at all.
“So we’ve left.”
Colin propped Olivia’s back up with a pillow. “I’ll get you some food. Enjoy the view in the meantime. We’ll reach our destination in two days.”
“Alright.”
After Colin left, Avery walked in. “You’re awake.”
Olivia, who was staring into the distance, turned to look at him. “Thanks for helping me, Mr. Avery.”
If it wasn’t for Avery, Colin and Olivia wouldn’t have been able to leave Aldenvine by themselves.
Avery looked at her weary appearance and felt terrible for her. “You’re welcome. It’s nothing much.”
“Mr. Avery, we can do the kidney transplant as soon as we arrive at our destination.
“There’s no rush. You’re still weak. I’ve been living with this illness for a long time. I can wait a little
bit more.”
Shaking her head, Olivia said, “It’s my promise to you. You’re an important man, and you still need to go home and tend to other business. It’s best if we do the transplant as soon as possible. Only my

wrist is hurt. I’m fine otherwise. It’s a kidney transplant. I can live with one kidney.’
“Just get some rest. The transplant can wait.”
Olivia looked at the ocean as her emotions simmered down.
She had completely severed ties with Ethan, but she regained her freedom. After Colin healed her father, she would have her father with her.

Fate had been cruel to her, but at least she wasn’t forced to a dead end. She had come to terms with
losing a hand. As long as she was alive, there was hope.
Olivia didn’t want to waste time thinking about Ethan anymore. All she could think of was the joy of reuniting with Jeff. Chloe had just pa*sed, and no one cared more about the importance of family than
Olivia.
Olivia started to think about Jeff and wondered if he was doing well. Also, she was thinking of how to explain what happened while he was unconscious. Olivia thought it might be a good idea for Jeff to
enjoy retirement on the island.
Jeff loved fishing. He could pick the hobby back up on the island.
At Aldenvine Hospital, Ethan stayed by Leia’s side without leaving. He only relaxed after she got out of critical condition. He was ready to freshen up at home when a nurse stopped him.
“Mr. Miller, this is Ms. Fordham’s medical report. She hasn’t come to take it for a few days. Please
hand it over to her if you see her.”
The nurse had seen Ethan and Olivia together due to Chloe’s incident. She was sure they knew each
other.
Ethan was confused as he looked at the stack of reports.
He grabbed the nurse’s arm, asking, “What are these reports for?”
“It’s a test for kidney compatibility. Didn’t you know about it, Mr. Miller? Ms. Fordham did the test with Mr. Avery. His kidney failure is in its late stages. He has to get a transplant as soon as possible.”
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 …
