Olivia felt calmer after Avery comforted her. Time passed 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, underst

Avery didn't want to take Olivia's kidney if it was possible. The strange thing was that Avery had spent a lot of money and connections in the past few years to find a suitable kidney, but to no avail. He had already lost hope, but then Olivia turned out to be a match. His kidney failure was in its late stages. He survived off dialysis, but if his condition worsened, he would die. That was why Avery could not afford to turn down a healthy kidney. He was the eldest son of the family. He had to be responsible for the future of the family. The only choice he had was to go through with the transplant.Avery felt terrible when he saw Olivia's pale face. "Olivia, I won't hold it against you if you don't want to do it anymore. I can still look for another kidney."Olivia shook her head and said, "Mr. Avery, I am prepared to go through with it."She knew she couldn't impose on Avery any longer. They weren't even relatives. The only thing she had that could be of use to Avery w

Ethan had stormed the island with his men. He said with bloodshot eyes, "Find Liv. Stop the kidney transplant at all costs."The island wasn't that big. The men Ethan brought with him were war veterans. They quickly infiltrated the operating room. The door was kicked open. There was already a cut on Olivia's waist, but it wasn't deep. Ethan's eyes went red when he saw the cut."Fuck!" He yelled. Brent and the others rushed onto the scene. "Put the scalpel down!" Olivia stared at Ethan angrily and said, "Why are you here?"Ethan stumbled to stop her bleeding and replied, "I'm here to stop you from doing anything silly."The cut on Olivia's waist was quickly dressed. Ethan carried her to the helicopter without saying another word. He was like a bandit taking a woman from her home. Olivia was livid. "Bastard, let me go!"She could only move one hand, and she used that hand to scratch at Ethan. The other hand was dangling limply at her side. Ethan looked at her arm with

Ethan's eyes were filled with guilt. He was aware that Olivia hated him with all her might. But he had already made his choice. He could only stick with it until the end. "Liv, I'm sorry."Ethan forcefully took Olivia away. Olivia couldn't do anything about her situation. He brought her back to the Manor of Roses, the place that he once built to win her favor. The rose garden has grown denser since Olivia came two years ago. The roses were swaying in the evening breeze. "Liv, you can live here with your father from now on. I've gathered a medical team for him. He'll recover soon enough."Olivia felt anxious when Ethan mentioned Jeff. "Do whatever you want to do, Ethan. But don't hurt my father, please. He just regained consciousness. I have nothing else except my father."Ethan touched her cheeks gently. "Liv, I swear I'll never hurt you or your father anymore. Give me a chance to take care of the both of you."Olivia slapped his hand away and said in an outburst, "But

Ethan wasn't just putting up a show. He did feel bad. That was why he tried his best to assist with Jeff's recovery. Ethan had never taken care of anyone like this before, but he was doing his best to take care of Jeff. He worked from home for an entire week and spent most of the time caring for Jeff. Jeff's condition improved significantly. He was barely able to speak in the beginning, but then he became able to speak clearly and communicate properly, albeit slowly. His face also looked fuller than before, and his complexion was significantly better. Jeff held Ethan's hand and said, "Ethan, don't spend all your time with me. You have to pay attention to Olivia, too. Don't neglect her." "Don't worry, dad. I won't neglect either of you. I take care of you and Liv."Olivia felt disgusted whenever she heard him say things like that. Ethan would ignore her expressions and have the medical experts treat Olivia's hand daily after he tended to Jeff. During the treatment, Ol

Ethan wrapped his hands around her tightly when faced with her hatred. "Liv, let's get remarried, okay?""Remarried? Why would I marry you again? I can't even stand the sight of you."Olivia thought he was mad to make such a request. "Or do you not want Marina now that she's crippled? You scum."Ethan frowned and said, "It's not like that. My hands are tied regarding Marina. She's actually …"He didn't want to keep the secret from Olivia anymore. Their relationship was already strained as is. He didn't want to lose her, so he tried to tell her the truth. Before he could finish his sentence, a servant's voice came from outside the room, "Mr. Carlton Senior is here, Mr. Miller."Ethan had no choice but to let Olivia go. "Rest first, Olivia."Olivia gritted her teeth as she watched Ethan leave. She knew she had missed the chance to escape with Jeff last time. She wouldn't get another opportunity to do so too soon. Jeff needed to stay. He required the professional care of

Marina felt regret and fear after she experienced the death of her parents and the comminuted fracture of both her legs. She thought about a lot of things when she was in the hospital.She cried profusely and said in a shaky voice, "I know I've done a lot of bad things in the past. I promise I'll change. "I'll learn to be a good wife and never cause you trouble again. I don't have any other requests. Just marry me, I beg of you."Ethan fell silent. Without getting a reply, Marina continued, "You promised Kurt you'd take care of me forever. You can't leave me."Ethan could no longer refuse after Marina pulled out her trump card. He closed his eyes, and Olivia's face filled his mind. Ethan said weakly, "Okay, I'll do it."Marina broke into a smile after getting his response. "I knew you'll never forsake me."Ethan hung up the phone. Otto was also relieved. "I knew you were a loyal man. I think you also know the state my family is in. "The wedding should be held as soon a

News of the wedding between Ethan and Marina spread like wildfire. "Have you heard? Mr. Miller is marrying Marina Carlton this month. It's for real this time. I heard that the hotel has already been booked.""What about Ms. Fordham? I thought he cared about her. He has been staying by her side all this time.""Don't tell anyone, but Ms. Fordham is Mr. Miller's ex-wife. I thought they were getting back together. They divorced because of Ms. Carlton back then. "I guess true love triumphs over an old flame. Mr. Miller is willing to marry Marina despite her grave injuries. It has to be true love.""What would happen to Ms. Fordham after Mr. Miller marries Ms. Carlton? Wouldn't she be a mistress then?"The servants were chattering and noticed Olivia standing nearby. Their faces paled. "M-Ms. Fordham."Olivia's expression was calm. She stared at them coldly and said, "Gossip all you want, but do it where no one can hear you. "I won't let you off easily if this reaches my father'

Jeff's words almost made Olivia cry. She had so much to ask him. She wondered if he knew about her origins. But when she met with his worried gaze, she decided against telling him. She couldn't rush things. Jeff was still recovering and could not take such a huge blow. "I'm fine, dad, really. I just matured and am no longer as childish as before.""Good to know. If he's still as good to you as before, I have nothing to worry about." Jeff patted Olivia on the head and said, "Dr. Blackwell told me that I can walk on my own after one more week of rehabilitation." In the past few days, Jeff had been able to walk a few steps with some help. Even if recovery was hard, Jeff toughed it out. He didn't want to be a burden to Olivia. He also wanted to be able to function as usual so Olivia wouldn't have to worry. "That's good news, dad. Keep it up!"Jeff felt better after seeing Olivia smile. "I've been feeling better these days, Olivia. I want a phone so I can catch up with the n

Ethan smiled sheepishly and said, "Dad, I did something that upset her. But don't worry, I'll be sure to get her forgiveness.""Good man. I knew you still loved her."Ethan's attitude reassured Jeff. "It's hard to meet someone you love who loves you back. "You and Olivia are lucky to have found each other. Do not squander it.""I know that, dad. I'll never let her down."Jeff smiled gently, saying, "You don't have to trouble yourself by massaging my legs. "You're the CEO of a huge company. People will make fun of you if they see you doing this.""I'm just helping out my father-in-law. There's nothing wrong with that. Just focus on getting better, dad. Leave the rest to me. "If you don't like the rose, I can get someone to plant some orchids. I'll take you for a walk after your legs get better.""Okay. I'm happy to know that's what you think."It was already 10:00 pm when Ethan left Jeff's room. The light in Olivia's room was still on. She was reading a medical book on th
