Chapter 740
Seeing that Olivia was in low spirits, Sharon comforted her.
“You haven’t been eating well these days. Now that you finally have an appetite, Mrs. Miller Senior is
making some food for you.”
Olivia nodded. Instead of getting in the wheelchair, she slowly moved to the living room.
Janice was wearing an apron. “Hurry and have a seat. The food will be ready soon.”
There were freshly picked flowers in the exquisite white vase on the dining table. Every leaf was fresh and
green.
Once again, Olivia recalled the snowy weather. She was arranging flowers in the warm indoors.
Her belly was bulging, and her l*ps were slightly curved.
The door opened, and Ethan walked in. He angrily questioned her why she would cause trouble for
Marina, especially when Marina was pregnant.
But he seemed to have forgotten that Olivia was also pregnant at that moment.
When the coldness reached its peak, he smashed her vase. Fresh flowers scattered onto the floor.
Olivia held her head, hissing. For some reason, she would recall the memories from the past from time to
time.
“What’s the matter, Olivia? Does your head hurt?” Janice hastily comforted her.
“…”
Olivia was about to say something when a series of images appeared in her mind. She was almost always
alone, keeping watch over an empty house.
The flowers in the vase were changed out time and again, but that man never returned.
“Olivia, don’t scare me like this! What is happening to you? Should I call a doctor over to have a look at
you?”
Olivia shook her head. With a trembling finger, she pointed at the vase. “Take it away.”
“Alright, sure. I’ll take it away right now.”

“I learned to cook for the sake of that jerk. It’s so pathetic when I think about it. I’ve never even made a
meal for my parents.”
Olivia realized that her memories from the past kept entering her mind. For example, her hands were
meant for working in medicine.
But for Ethan’s sake, she took up the knife and shovel.
Every time those memories surfaced, Olivia felt extreme pain. She had to experience the suffering all over
again.
Janice noticed Olivia’s changes. “This doesn’t look good. I have a bad feeling about this.”
Sharon spoke up. “Mrs. Miller used to have a cat, and it should have arrived by now. They say that animals
can heal people’s hearts, so why don’t we try with the cat?”
“Sure. But I have a feeling that Olivia’s illness lies in her heart.”
Olivia forced herself to eat some of the food. Then, she sat in the yard, basking in the warm sun.
Suddenly, a white cat darted over to her.
“Meow!”
“This cat is
Janice introduced them. “This is the pet cat you used to own. Her name is Snowball.”
Snowball.
Yes.
An image appeared in Olivia’s mind. A little girl had a backpack on her shoulders as a small white cat
followed her and meowed.
Every time she came home from school, the little cat would be waiting for her at the junction.
She would run toward the white cat right away and then raise it into the air.
The scene was mirrored in the present. Olivia was sitting in the wheelchair as she lifted Snowball. “Long time no see, Snowball.”
“Meow!”
All the memories of her time with Snowball since she was young began to surface in her mind. She felt that she should be glad that she had a happy childhood.

She had her father’s love. Fearing that she would feel lonely, he even adopted Snowball for her.
Snowball wasn’t a purebred cat, but it was quite understanding toward humans.
When Snowball was young, it helped her get through the loss of her mother. Now that Snowball was old, it
would heal the pains caused by her illness.
Olivia held Snowball in her arms. She and her cat looked very peaceful together.
Janice was even more convinced now that they had made the right decision.
Sharon suddenly remembered something. “By the way, when Snowball was sent here, it came with this
bottle along with some of its toys.
“I heard that when it came back from the island, it was already holding this bottle in its mouth.
“I looked inside, but I’m not sure if the contents were medicine or candy. It doesn’t look like cat food,
either.
“I’m also worried that it might harm Mrs. Miller.”
Janice glanced at the unlabeled bottle. The things inside looked a little like small pills.
“Snowball is an old cat now, and old cats usually understand humans.
“This means that the things inside the bottle are very important to Snowball. Tell Ethan to test the
contents to see what they are.”
“Understood, Mrs. Miller Senior.”
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 …
