Jade was quite straightforward in her speech as well. "I'm talking about those doctors he called over in the past. They think they're mothers or something; they nag so much. "It was so annoying! They kept telling me to quit smoking and drinking. Ugh, those annoying flies!"Olivia knew that. Even though Jade was quite old, other than her liver and lungs, her health was completely fine. Olivia could tell that she took great care of her body.Even though Jade was living in a place like this, it was quite peaceful in the area. There weren't any thieves or robberies that happened as soon as she stepped into this place.This meant that an even more powerful person was protecting this area. That was how Jade managed to live in safety."Mr. Maxwell cares about you, so he's worried about you. I won't tell you to change your lifestyle."But if you trust me, I'll prescribe something for you to maintain your health."Jade nodded enthusiastically. "Good girl. I can see that you ca
Wayne peeled off the dirty skin on the onion. "I don't know. I was abandoned as soon as I was born because of my weak physique. Someone took me in because I was a boy."But after the family had a son of their own, they sold me off."After some twists and turns, I was abandoned here when I was three. From then on, this place has become my home."He tossed the onion peel into the trash can. "The people here are like weeds in the soil. No matter how difficult their surroundings are, they will give it their all to emerge from the soil."He briefly recounted his tragic past. Olivia knew that it must have been very difficult for him to get to where he was right now.He didn't have a prominent background, and he had to survive by stealing and robbing from young. His story was quite a legend.Olivia examined his face. If he wasn't abandoned by his family, he might have been a child from a wealthy family."Anyway, you should get out of this kitchen. I've been cooking for myself for
Olivia couldn't deny it because it was the truth.While she was pregnant, Marina happened to return to the country.Marina was pregnant as well. She wanted proof that Ethan would treat her well, so she asked Ethan to cook for her, too.Back then, Ethan was filled with guilt toward Kurt, so he would fulfill any wish Marina had."It's kind of boring talking to you," Olivia grumbled."I hit the nail on the head."Wayne flipped the food in the pan, sending sparks flying. "I won't be like him. I'm like a wolf, you see. As soon as I lock onto a prey, I will never give up on it. I won't be distracted."I'll admit that my background isn't as good as Ethan's. But with my position, I can give you things he won't be able to. I am not inferior to him in this sense."Olivia scoffed. "Men would make empty promises and whisper sweet nothings when they are trying to court women. "How would I know that you're not another Ethan to me? Or do you think that I'm a pure 18-year-old, and I'll f
Noticing that the meal was ready, Olivia went to wake Jade.Jade had quite a restless sleep on the chair. She even mumbled, "The void holds no troubles…"Olivia gently woke Jade up. "Madam Delaney, the meal is ready."Jade slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the beautiful face in front of her, she subconsciously called out, "Sister."Olivia froze. "What did you just call me?"It was only then that Jade came to her senses. "Did I say anything?""Madam Delaney, you just called me 'Sister.' Did you remember something?""I…" Jade put a hand on her head. She indeed had a dream, and she felt like she was dreaming about a woman. But after she woke up, the dream disappeared, and she couldn't remember anything anymore.Olivia could see how troubled Jade was, and the latter didn't seem to be faking it. By the looks of it, she had roused some of the memories in Jade's subconscious mind."Madam Delaney, let's eat." Olivia didn't dare to shock Jade too much. After all, Olivia wasn
Wayne could hold his liquor well. But today, he seemed to have gotten drunk.Olivia helped him onto the bed. He gripped her hand tightly, refusing to let go."Let go! I'm warning you, don't do anything funny!" Olivia warned him sternly.Wayne's cheeks were flushed, but he kept mumbling, "Dr. Ophelia, I really do like you. Can you give me a chance?""Sorry." Olivia pried his fingers off of her. Then, she left the room expressionlessly.Compared to Wayne, Olivia was more concerned about Jade.Jade had drunk a few glasses of wine. She was a good drinker, but still, she was quite old, so Olivia was a little worried about her.Jade was lying on the bed, murmuring, "Sis, don't leave me. Sis…"When Olivia came in, Jade gripped Olivia's hands. "Oh, Nat! It's me, Jade.""Jade, who am I?""You're Sis. You know, Nat.""What is my name?" Olivia continued asking."You're…"Before Jade finished speaking, she fell asleep. Olivia felt a little exasperated. Sometimes, it could be quite tro
Olivia didn't complain. She stepped on Yale for momentum to climb up.The pipeline inside was wide enough to fit an adult man. But no one cleaned it, so it was filled with dust. Olivia couldn't care about those things.She only had one thought in her mind: she had to escape. Her children were still waiting for her.Fortunately, the area was very chaotic, and there were quite a lot of gangs here. When Yale was working for the Kingstons in the past, he was involved in shady business like this.He teamed up with a prominent local leader, and that was how he managed to pave a path for Olivia. In an extremely short time, he managed to send Olivia out to sea.By the time Wayne noticed that something was off and came running, Olivia was nowhere to be found.He was furious. They had taken Olivia away from right under his nose!Ethan was truly a force to be reckoned with. Wayne didn't give Olivia a chance to contact the outside world, so how did Ethan's men manage to locate her?W
Wayne pushed himself against the warship, his face filled with a pained expression.The look on Olivia's face was extremely cold, and she didn't fake anything at all.Ethan fired more shots. The bullets rained down near Wayne's speedboat, causing waves to splash in Wayne's face."Wayne, I'll make you pay dearly for kidnapping my wife!"With that, Ethan ordered his men to steer homeward.Looking at the hurt man, Ike sighed silently. "She's already gone, Mr. Maxwell. Just give up. She doesn't love you."The heart was the most important factor. Age and status didn't matter at all. If she didn't like him, then she didn't. No matter who he was, he couldn't do anything about it."Why…" Wayne mumbled. After so many years, he finally met a woman like her, but the heavens refused to grant his wish.Olivia leaned in Ethan's embrace. "I thought that I would never see you again."Back then, she seriously thought that Wayne would keep her trapped on the island forever."I'm sorry, Liv
Olivia and the children returned to the initial island. After so many years of development, the island was quite different now.There was a colorful road by the sea that ran around the whole island. The cherry tree in front of Martha's house back then was still there.Now, the cherry blossoms were blooming splendidly. Olivia stood under the huge cherry tree, listening as the wind chimes hanging on the tree rang melodiously in the sea breeze.When the lights on the cherry tree were turned on, Olivia looked majestic as she stood among the petals of the cherry blossoms drifting downward.Even women who had never given birth before might look dull in comparison, let alone women who had four children.Willow sat in the cherry tree, the bells on her feet chiming.Under the tree, the twins were messing around. Connor touched the cherry tree, feeling amazed.He didn't remember much of his childhood, but he had a deep impression of this cherry tree.Back then, he was still following
