Chapter 529
Olivia, who was drinking the soup, turned around to look at Mona. After Mona ended the call, Olivia asked, “Did something happen at home?”
“My younger brother got into an accident when he was going home. His leg is broken. Olivia, I—”
Before she could finish speaking, Olivia interrupted her. “I’ll give you two days off, so go back and visit him. Family is important, after all.”
“Thank you, Olivia. But what about you?”
“We have many doctors, housekeeping staff, and b*dyguards here. They’re all serving me, so what can happen to me? I’ll also ask the financial department to give you your salary beforehand.”
“You don’t have to do this, Olivia.”
“Just go. There’s no need to be so polite around me. I’ll get someone to send you to the hospital right now.”
Olivia waved her hand, telling Cyril to take Mona there. She also informed the surgeon about it beforehand.
She could already see that Cyril liked Mona, but the silly woman only had eyes for the uppercla*sman.
Olivia wouldn’t comment on the uppercla*sman’s character. But at least she knew what Cyril was like. She had to help him by giving him a chance, at least.
When Cyril left, Olivia even winked at him. Blushing, Cyril hastily walked away.
Olivia gazed at the sea as she enjoyed the breeze. Her fingers occasionally caressed her tummy.
Madam Burgess came over to clean up the cutlery. She reminded Olivia, “Mrs. Miller, it looks like it will rain soon. You should
come inside for now.”
Olivia looked at the dense dark clouds above her. She knew that heavy rain was coming.
“Alright.”
“Come, I’ll help you. Take your time to stand up.”
Olivia supported her tummy while Madam Burgess took her arm. Olivia’s tummy looked as large as those of women who were about to give birth. Madam Burgess looked heartbroken.
“You’ve suffered a lot for the two children. It’s only been six months, but your tummy is already so big.
“What will happen later in your pregnancy? Babies will rapidly grow when they are in the seventh or eighth month.”
Olivia’s face was only a little rounder compared to before. Her waist was slender, and she more or less maintained her figure. It was as if all her weight was focused on her tummy.
“Let’s take it easy. I don’t mind suffering a little if the children are healthy.”
Olivia sauntered. She leisurely walked back to her room.
Sometimes, she would look up and watch the wind riling up the waves.
Olivia partly lay in bed as she rested. The scenery outside was terrifyingly dark.
Olivia felt uneasy every time she encountered such weather. Annoyed, she drew the curtains. She listened to some light music to soothe her emotions.
Two hours later, she called Mona. “Is your younger brother okay?”
“There’s a minor issue, but the operation just ended. Their best orthopedic surgeon conducted it. They said that he’s young, so he’ll recover quickly. Thank you so much, Olivia.”
“You’re being too nice again. It’s just a piece of cake.”
“I’ll
go
back as soon as possible.”
“Take good care of your brother. Everything is fine here.”
Olivia hung up. Mona was older than her, but she was much calmer than Mona.
After making sure that Mona’s family was alright, Olivia was rea*sured. Sometime later, Cyril came back.
Olivia drank the soup leisurely as she asked, “Why didn’t you spend some more time with her in the hospital? Her parents are ill, so it’s not a bad thing for a man like you to help look out for her.”
“Mrs. Miller, it’s not that I don’t want to do it. I feel like a third wheel if I stay there, so I decided to come back instead.”
“Huh?” Olivia put down her spoon. “Tell me the details.”
“When her uppercla*sman heard of this, he came over as well. They seemed to get along well, so I’ll only be an eyesore if I stay there.”
Cyril had a tall build, but at that moment, he looked dejected, like a child who had done something wrong.
“So you saw the uppercla*sman? What’s he like?”
“Nothing special. He has two eyes and a nose like everyone else.”
Olivia burst out laughing. “You’re such a straightforward man. No wonder you can’t win her heart.”
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 …
