Sean didn't come home. Instead, it was Avery who rushed home. He set everything aside and rushed home when he found out that his family was harmed.Shana, who was about to fall asleep, quickly got up when she heard that Avery had returned. "Avery is back!""Slow down, Madam Fordham. Be careful not to fall over." Olivia quickly held Shana steady.As she said that, they heard Avery knocking on the door. "It's me, Mom.""Come on in."Avery pushed open the door and exchanged glances with Olivia. She greeted him, "Mr. Avery.""You're here too, Dr. Fordham.""That's right. Dr. Fordham is a very nice person. She's a friend that Sean brought home. I'm getting along very well with her.Shana slowly caressed Avery's face. "You've lost weight, Avery."Avery noticed something off. Shana was acting like she was blind. He took a look at her eyes and noticed that they looked empty. They didn't look like normal eyes at all."Mom, what's wrong with your eyes?""It's nothing. It's just th
Olivia was no longer the young woman who would panic during a crisis. She made plans very rationally. Since Avery was home, she could go to the hospital.…Troy's surgery had just finished in the hospital, and he was still unconscious.When Olivia arrived, Sean was still by his side, looking at him worriedly.If Troy found out that his arms were completely ruined and he could no longer design jewelry, he would definitely be devastated. His arms were very important to him."I'm sorry, Sean. It's all my fault. This wouldn't have happened if Troy hadn't tried to save me…"Jacqueline was standing next to Sean. There were two tiny wounds on her face that were covered up by band-aids. She stood next to Sean with a sad expression."It's not your fault. I'm just glad you're fine. Our family can't bear any more accidents.""You're here, Dr. Fordham."Olivia walked over with a grave expression. "Is Mr. Troy still unconscious?""The doctor said he'll regain consciousness soon." Sean s
Olivia had said the exact same thing plenty of times before. Back then, her life was full of despair, and there didn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel. She fought tooth and nail and was beaten and battered. Often, she felt like she didn't have a future as well.But she didn't want to give up. She didn't want the same for her children. So, she toughed it out. She didn't say anything as she went to the toilet to run a towel under the tap. When she came out of the toilet, she saw Troy looking at the ceiling and bawling his eyes out. He couldn't even use his hands to hide his tears. "Don't cry, Troy. Things will get better, really.""It's all my fault, Troy. I'm the reason you can't complete the piece you've been working on. I'm the reason your show will be canceled."Olivia didn't say anything as she placed the warm towel on Troy's eyes. Troy wasn't in the mood to listen to anyone. He just wanted to conceal his weakness. The tears made the towel wet, but they
Troy didn't understand why Olivia was asking about Jacqueline's reaction, but he still recounted the events in detail."As you know, I couldn't exactly leave Jacqueline to fend for herself in a situation like that. So, I shielded her. Is there any problem with that?"Olivia didn't have the heart to tell him the cold, hard truth yet. She needed more evidence. After all, these Fordham brothers loved their sister a lot. They were naturally biased. "Of course not. You're a good brother. I just want to know what happened. Anyway, you need to calm down. I healed Sean's legs, so your arms are not a problem.""Really?""Do you think I'd lie to you right now?""But why didn't Sean tell us his legs have recovered?"Olivia whispered, "It's because there's a person who's trying to destroy the Fordham family.""You mean…"Then, Olivia told him the plan. "I'm sorry, Mr. Troy. You were one of the suspects too. That's why I didn't tell you, and that's probably why you got into such trouble."
Olivia wrapped her arms around Sean's neck and said slightly louder, "Don't be sad, Sean. Troy will get better. You must stay strong."Sean caressed Olivia's face and said emotionally, "I'm so glad I have you to keep me company. Or else I wouldn't know what I'd do."Olivia buried her face in his chest. The two of them kept whispering to each other like a loving couple. After a while, Olivia said, "Alright, it's getting late. You haven't eaten yet. I'll go get some food for you. Don't be too sad. Everything will be okay as long as he's still alive.""Dr. Fordham, you should just let the bodyguards do that.""There's nothing I can do to help in the hospital anyway. I know what you like to eat. I'll do it."Olivia got up from his lap after she said that. She could clearly sense that someone was following her when she left the hospital.Sean's expression changed too. He gave an order softly, "The fish has taken the bait. Go and protect Dr. Fordham."There were a lot of patients
Even without turning back, Olivia could feel the hostility in her gaze. "I've been waiting for you too."She suddenly turned around and looked at the woman who was slightly shorter than her. She was trying to conceal her identity, but Olivia recognized her right away."Ginger."Ginger panicked when she heard Olivia calling out her name. "How did you…"A trap seemingly designed for Oliva had become a cage to capture her. Ginger sensed that something was wrong. She thought about her goal and was about to pull the trigger.A gunshot sounded. A bullet hit her on the wrist, and her gun fell to the ground. Well-trained people surrounded the alley. Ginger ignored her bleeding hand as she yelled, "Kill her!"The tide turned very abruptly. Before Ginger's men could make a move, some people jumped down from the second floor and killed them.Someone tried to shoot Olivia in the chaos, but someone else put a bullet in his back.In the blink of an eye, all six of the men Ginger brought
"Ethan, I can leave with you, but you need to give me more time. We can leave after we've dealt with Ginger's matter, okay? "There's also Madam Fordham's eyes. I've promised to cure her. If it's dragged out much longer, she'll really be blind.""Liv, you might be a marvelous doctor, but you're not the only doctor in the world. I'm just afraid that something might happen to you if you continue to help out the Fordhams… "This isn't Aldenvine. I'm afraid I might not be able to keep you safe if things go south."Olivia sensed his determination. She pleaded, "Three days. Just give me three more days, okay?"Ethan sighed. "Alright. But you have to go home with me in three days."The two of them hadn't seen each other for some time. They were yearning for each other, but Olivia had more important stuff to deal with.Ginger was an important part of her plan to get to the mastermind. If she came clean, Olivia would be able to uncover the truth instantly. She told the Fordhams about t
When Sean witnessed that in person, he was convinced that Olivia was right. From the beginning, Ginger had approached him with a motive.He removed the gag from Ginger's mouth. Tears streamed down her face.Ginger said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry. I lied to you."Sean hugged her. "Gigi, do you know how much I've missed you in the past few years? I'm so glad that you're still alive."Ginger thought that Sean would be mad after he found out the truth, but Sean held her tightly in his embrace. His hot tears splashed on her neck."Sean, I lied to you. Aren't you going to fault me for that?""No, why would I? It's nothing compared to the fact that you're still alive right now. Did you know? In the past few years, I used to pray every day, wondering why I wasn't the one who died instead of you. I would willingly go to hell if it meant that you'd still be alive."As Sean spoke, he started to untie her.Ginger still felt like she was dreaming. "Then what about you and Dr. Fordham—
