Chapter 735
Olivia responded mildly, “They must have been desperate. Why else would anyone steal flowers from the
hospital?”
“There are just too many weirdos in the world. They don’t even have basic morals. Rest well, Ms. Fordham.
The head nurse closed the door and left.
Oliva became drowsy after a while. She felt like she heard the door open but was too tired. So, she
ignored it.
She didn’t notice the sound of footsteps. There were also some rustling sounds beside her, like someone
was creeping around.
Suddenly, she felt something being placed on her head.
It wasn’t a doctor?
Olivia opened her eyes abruptly. She met the gaze of a set of bright, round eyes. The adorable little face
was very close to her.
Connor became embarra*sed when he saw that Olivia had woken up.
“Mom, wreath.”
Connor was trying to set the wreath straight, so his arms were still hanging mid-air.
“It’s you,” Olivia murmured. Her gaze fell on the wreath he was holding. She was taken aback.
She wondered if Connor and Ethan were the father-son duo the head nurse talked about who stole
flowers from the garden.
She was at a loss for words. What were they trying to pull?
Connor noticed that Olivia didn’t have a solemn expression anymore. So, he slowly climbed up the bed
and leaped into Olivia’s arms.
“Mom, I missed you.”
His words struck a chord for Olivia. But after the moment of tenderness, she felt a stab of pain in her
heart.
She didn’t know why Connor would call her mom, but she knew he wasn’t her child.
But he was so cute and adorable that Olivia just couldn’t resist.
He knelt on the bed and put the wreath on her head with a serious expression. Then, he broke into a bright
smile. The dimples on his cheeks caught Olivia’s gaze.
“Mom, get well soon.”
Olivia just couldn’t get angry at him. That innocent smile was too precious. So, she nodded her head
absent-mindedly.
Connor was overjoyed. He k*ssed her on the cheek and ran away.
Ethan told him that he should let Olivia rest. He kept that in mind.
Olivia touched the wreath and felt a surge of familiarity within. In the end, she didn’t throw it away.
Instead, she placed it next to her pillow. She could see it as soon as she opened her eyes.
Connor was sent back home. He got to see his mother, so he was pleased.
Erina was playing with dolls in the room. She saw him come home and greeted him.
“Connor, come play with me.”
“Dolls are for girls. I want to learn to shoot guns so I can protect Mom when I grow up,” Connor said with
a smug expression.
Mina cleared her throat. “Master Connor, you must be hungry. Come eat.”
Marina suddenly appeared at the door quietly.
She looked at Connor and said, “Connor, come here. I have something to tell you.”
Mina followed him into the room. Marina said to her, “Go prepare dinner for Connor.”
“Yes, Ms. Carlton.”
The door was closed. Then, Marina beckoned Connor.
“Come over here.”
Connor was instinctively wary of Marina. She looked at this young face that was almost identical to
Ethan’s.
She felt it was weird. Although Kurt looked like Ethan, it was still weird that his son looked so much like
Ethan, too.
2/3
If she hadn’t witnessed her own child being born on the day of delivery, she would have thought that this was Olivia’s child. After all, Connor wasn’t close with her at all.
She smiled gently at Connor and said, “Good boy, call me ‘Mom’.”
Connor had never called her ‘Mom’ before.
Initially, she thought he had some sort of speech impediment. But she clearly heard him call Olivia that at
the hospital.
She tried to guide him patiently repeatedly, but Connor didn’t comply. She finally lost her temper and
slapped him.
“You little bastard. I’m your real mother. You called that bitch your mom but not me. I’m going to smack
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 …
