Olivia reminisced about her past in the restaurant by the beach.She recounted the details of her past, which could be searched online. Her description added colors to those emotionless words. Her eyes reddened as the story reached its climax, but she fought her tears back."Thank you for listening, Varren. I've spent so many years all alone. No family, no friends. Sometimes, when I need someone to talk to, I can't find anyone. That's why I keep talking to you. I must be annoying, right?"Warren finally understood why she always had so much stuff to talk about. It was because she was Olivia.He recalled their conversations, in which he would always give her the cold treatment.He thought, "Perhaps I was her only comfort.""It's nothing." He took a sip of coffee. It was bitter.He wondered how many people out there lived bitter lives."Oh right, you didn't mention your life before. You don't seem young. I bet you're married, aren't you?"Warren shook his head. "No."How coul
Chapter 1070
The butler of the Carlton residence had been waiting by the gates to welcome the doctor. He was surprised to see the person getting out of the car.He thought a famous doctor like Vanessa would always travel with her assistant and driver. Yet, there was only a woman in the car.Despite her ordinary looks, her aura was different from others."Are you Vanessa?""Why? Do I not look like 'Vanessa?'" She closed the car door."It's not like that. I'm just quite taken aback. It must've been a tough journey for you to come here. It's our honor to be able to invite you over to treat our young lady.""Where's the patient?" Olivia didn't want to waste her time listening to his courtesy."This way, please."Although the house was huge, it appeared rather empty on this snowy day.Marina was the only grandchild in the house. To add on, she wasn't their biological granddaughter. That was definitely a big blow to Otto. Still, Otto had watched her grow up. He couldn't bring himself to dr

Olivia could still remember the first time she met Marina. Marina had been standing next to Ethan with a protruding belly, wearing a triumphant expression.Olivia could still remember what Marina said before pushing her off the cruise. "Say, will he save you or save me?"On top of that, the memory of herself resorting to pawning her wedding ring while Marina was holding her head high was still vivid in her head.Olivia had imagined herself meeting Marina again countless times, but none of it turned out this way."Miss! Oh dear, why did it turn out like this? I'll call the ambulance!" The butler became frantic.Judging from the amount of blood bled, Olivia could tell that it happened only a moment ago.She quickly pressed the wound with a cloth to stop the bleeding. "Don't worry, she hasn't bled much. It's not a deep wound. Her life isn't in danger.""Who are you? Who told you to come here? Get away from me!" Marina struggled to break free from Olivia.She didn't seem to be in

Olivia was led to the living room. Fabian handed her the documents he prepared. "Here are Marina's medical reports from the past few years. Please go through them."She read the huge stack of reports thoroughly. "She underwent a surgery before?""Yes, but it wasn't that successful. She still can't stand. Speaking about it, she's a pitiful person. Her legs were broken due to a car accident when she was young."Her parents passed away, and her engagement was called off. What is she going to do in the future? Please save her. "As long as you can make her walk, I'm willing to pay however much you want."If Olivia hadn't seen the condom in Marina's room, she would've been deceived by Fabian.He appeared to be such a fine man.Which subordinate would have the nerve to do that kind of thing to her when Otto cherished her so much?Besides, there were only female servants serving her.On top of that, only the butler waited for Olivia's arrival. Fabian welcomed her afterward. He wa

The Carltons became anxious as soon as they heard that she was going to leave."Please don't leave! I jumped through hoops just to find you. You can't go. My granddaughter is counting on you!" said Otto."Yes, doctor. Please check on Ms. Carlton's legs. Miss, this is Vanessa, the person I told you about. "Her medical skills are top-notch. She excels in a lot of areas. She said that there's a chance for you to walk again."Only then did Marina look at Olivia with bright eyes. "Really? Can you make me walk again?""As long as you give me your cooperation," replied Olivia indifferently.Marina thought of something and decided to shrug off the fact that Olivia had slapped her.Marina nodded. "Okay. I'll do as you say.""Ms. Carlton, remember your words. Don't regret it later on.""Why would I regret it? As long as you can treat my legs, I'm willing to do anything.""Okay. I'll check your condition first. Please lie down."Fabian chimed in, "Let me do it."He walked toward Mari

Ethan arrived very soon. Olivia initially planned to visit again some other day. The idea of meeting him in this kind of situation made her feel weird.However, the rushing man arrived before she could bid Otto goodbye.Marina had done so many things back then. She was the cause of the Carlton couple's and Jeff's death.Otto was helpless and guilty about it, so he requested Ethan to call off the engagement.These years, Marina intended to make up for it to win back Ethan's heart. But she couldn't contact him because he blocked her number.Now, Ethan was finally coming! It wasn't easy to meet him. Even Otto was looking forward to it.If Ethan hadn't refused it, he could've been the best candidate to inherit the Carlton family.The butler informed Marina beforehand, getting her all excited. She hurriedly set a layer of powder on her face as she didn't want Otto to find out about her matter with Fabian.She had driven her parents and Chris' death. She didn't want to do the sam
Chapter 1075
Ethan, who seemed to be into this game, asked intriguingly, "You're young and capable. May I ask if you're married?"Olivia spared him a glance. "A wise man never falls in love."Marina was stunned, doubting if he was here to see her. She couldn't understand why he was curious about a stranger's marital status.Still, she didn't dare to do anything that might make him hate her. He ignored her for so long, and it was a rare chance for him to come.She said carefully, "Ethan .."Only then did Ethan recall that he came over in the name of visiting Marina. He shifted his gaze onto her. Marina appeared skinnier than years ago. Pale-faced, she sat in the wheelchair while staring at him pitifully.Before this, he would've pitied her because of Kurt. But the thought of what Olivia had suffered in the past, the pity, gave way to indifference.He inquired, "It's been a long time. How have you been?"She answered with teary eyes, "I—I'm fine.""Don't worry, Mr. Miller. Nothing will hap

The water was so hot that Marina kept scolding people.Still, she couldn't lift her legs herself. All she could do was to cry while scolding. Why did she have to suffer that when she already met her miserable fate?Otto sighed and cooed, "Marina, put up with it. You'll reap what you sow. You'll be able to walk after this.""It's hot, Grandpa. I'm burning! I think my skin is going to burn! I don't want it anymore. It hurts! "Where did you come from, you quack? Why are you doing this to me? I didn't do anything to you. Ethan, save me!"Marina's whining didn't stop coming from her room.At the same time, Ethan and Olivia were enjoying tea and the snowy view outside.How could he hear Marina when his eyes were only on Olivia?The Carltons were comforting Marina in her room, so the two were alone outside.The design of the Carlton residence was the same as that of the Fordham residence. The buildings were aesthetically pleasing.The scenery was breathtaking whenever it snowed.
