Chapter 422
Olivia felt calmer after Avery comforted her. Time pa*sed quickly, and the doors to the operating room opened.
Olivia approached Colin and asked, “How did it go, Colin?”
He took off his gloves and mask.
He then sighed in relief and said, “Don’t worry, Olivia. The surgery was a success. Mr. Fordham will regain consciousness by the end of today.”
Too many accidents had occurred to her, so Olivia was frightened the whole time. But fortune finally smiled upon her for once.
It was like Jeff knew about her worries. He woke up after a while. Olivia felt like she was dreaming the moment he opened his eyes.
She stuttered and called out, “D-Dad, you’re awake!”
Jeff looked at Olivia with a gentle look and opened his mouth to murmur, “Li-Liv.”
Colin explained, “Mr. Fordham’s nerves were damaged. He would temporarily experience difficulty walking and slurred speech.
“He would need to undergo rehabilitation exercises for the foreseeable future.”
Olivia nodded and said, “Alright, understood. We can do everything in time, as long as my dad is okay. Thanks, Colin.”
“You’re welcome. It’s nothing much. Olivia, your hand is still recovering. I’ll care for Mr. Fordham.”
Olivia didn’t argue with him. She did need his help.
Although Jeff had woken up, he needed time to recover.
He had been bedridden for too long. He wouldn’t be able to get off the bed right away.
Olivia was happy enough to see Jeff getting better.
Jeff had a lot he wanted to tell Olivia, but he couldn’t talk properly yet.
He stared at Olivia’s right arm and said, “Hand. Your hand.”
Olivia hid her hand behind her back and said, “It’s fine. Just some minor injuries. It’ll be better soon.
“Focus on getting better, dad. Nothing else matters. I’ll be with you no matter what.”
Jeff didn’t know what happened while he was in a coma. He said, “E-Ethan
He didn’t know that they were already divorced.
Because when he was in the hospital, Olivia would tell him that Ethan was too busy with work to visit.

“Are you thirsty, dad? Have some water.”
Olivia didn’t want to agitate Jeff too much since he had just woken up. So she changed the subject.
The sun was setting as Olivia pushed Jeff in a wheelchair to the beach to look at the sunset.
The ocean breeze was gentle, and the waves were roiling. Birds were also returning to their nests.
Jeff wore a faint smile on his face the whole time. Olivia kept talking to him.
“Dad, when you can move, I’ll travel around the world with you.
“You’ve worked hard most of your life. It’s time for you to enjoy life.”
“Alright.”
Olivia crouched next to Jeff and placed her head on his legs like she used to do when she was a kid.
“I missed you, dad. You must stay healthy from now on.
Jeff reached out slowly and patted Olivia’s back.
The scene brought tears to Colin’s eyes. He was aware of all the suffering Olivia had been through.
He approached them, seeing as the night was setting in. “Mr. Fordham, let me push you back. I still need to apply some acupuncture for you to get back on your feet sooner.”
“Than-Thank you.
Olivia watched as Colin pushed Jeff away and then wiped away the tears in her eyes as she walked
away.
“Let’s begin, Mr. Fordham.”
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 …
