Chapter 347
Chloe hadn't picked up on Chris' and Olivia's expressions. She was still immersed in her memories. "I remember that I never cared about your studies or your preferences. After leaving you for so many years, I didn't even call you once. You must have hated me for leaving you when you were so young, right?""I …" Olivia sniffed, wondering if she should tell Chloe the truth. Chris hesitated for a while and sighed. "Chloe, you have to calm down. What I'm about to say is very important."Olivia wiped her tears and then helped Chloe wipe hers. Chloe was taken aback. Olivia had always been cold to her. This was the first time Olivia approached her. "What do you want to tell me?"Chris went straight to the point. "The bad news is that Olivia's bone marrow isn't compatible.""Yeah, I was prepared for that.""The good news is that Olivia isn't your biological daughter. You have another daughter. Her bone marrow may be a match.The news was too sudden and direct. It was like a blow
Chapter 348
Chris held Chloe's hand and comforted her, saying, "Don't cry. I'll find your daughter. I'll leave you two alone. You must have a lot to talk about."Chloe and Olivia were the only ones left in the ward. They looked at each other in silence. They were still trying to come to terms with their current identities. Chloe was the first to break the silence. She held Olivia's hand and said, "It doesn't matter even if we're not related by blood. I still need to make it up to you. This terminal disease must be my punishment.""Ms. Parker, you don't have to say that. You'll definitely find a compatible bone marrow. You must rest well.""How is your dad?""He …"Olivia shook her head and said, "He's still the same."The authorities kept the incident at Jeff's hospital a secret. The public did not know what happened. Even Olivia wasn't aware of the number of casualties. "If your father wakes up, tell him I'm sorry. I've betrayed his love. He's a good man. He shouldn't have been put th

The sudden appearance of the man messed up her plans. She couldn't leave him alone. Then, the emergency room's doctor verified that the man's life wasn't at risk and that he would regain consciousness soon. It was only then Olivia left the hospital in a hurry.The man regained consciousness and was told he was brought to the hospital by a kind person. He wanted to thank the person right away."Unfortunately, the lady left after she paid for your bills.""How long has it been since she left?""She just left."The man jumped out of bed and chased after Olivia. He ignored the nurse shouting behind him, "You can't leave yet. You still need to be checked."He didn't listen to the nurse and quickened his steps. He saw a slender figure by the road. Olivia got into a cab before he could call out to her. She rode the cab to the cemetery and bought some of her grandmother's favorite flowers when she passed the flower shop. She went to her grandmother's grave first. She set the f

The room was quite dark. In order to let him sleep peacefully, the blackout curtains were tightly drawn. Olivia gently opened a small gap to allow a faint light into the room.She walked cautiously toward the bedside. If it were in the past, Ethan would probably have woken up due to his usual vigilance. But now, his eyes were tightly closed, and an empty IV bag was next to him.Olivia reached out and felt his forehead. It was burning hot. The fever hadn't subsided yet. Ethan's physical condition had always been excellent. He rarely got sick like this.It seemed like she would have to wait till later to talk to him about Leia. She was about to withdraw her hand, but her wrist was grabbed. Ethan pulled hard, and she fell into his arms. She wanted to push him away with a frown, but she heard him say hoarsely, "Don't leave."Sighing, she remained still. She stayed in his embrace. Ethan was happy, and his arms tightened around her. The scorching heat from his body enveloped Oliv

Olivia was stunned. Even when they were back on the cruise ship, Ethan hadn't kissed her so deeply. Just as she realized something was wrong, she was already trapped and couldn't break free. Ethan's limbs were wrapped around her like thick vines, giving her no time to catch her breath. Ethan might have held back when he was conscious due to his guilt. Now that he was not in his right mind, he was acting on instinct. Olivia tried to struggle but to no avail. Ethan felt grounded when he could smell her scent. "Wake up, Ethan. Do you have any idea what you're doing?"Ethan held her hands above her head, effortlessly defusing her attacks. There was a lot of sweat on his forehead. He said hoarsely, "Liv, I've never been so sure of what I'm doing. I told you, we'll have kids of our own."Kids …Oliva didn't understand why Ethan was so hung up on the subject. She just wanted to get away. "Let me go, Ethan. Don't make me hate you.""If hate can become the bond that binds us, then
Chapter 352
Ethan slept for a long time. When he woke up at night, he looked beside him as soon as he opened his eyes. But he was alone in the bed. He lifted the blanket to see himself fully dressed. He felt disappointed as he thought what had happened was a dream. Maybe it was because he missed Olivia too much and was too afraid of losing her. Olivia would hate him even more if he really did what he thought he did. He held his head in his hands. He still felt a little lightheaded, but the sleep cleared up his fatigue. The fever was gone, and he felt much better. He took a shower to freshen himself up before leaving the room. He saw Madam Burgess cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Her face lit up when she saw Ethan coming downstairs. "You're finally awake, Mr. Miller. You must be hungry after such a long nap. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I've made a lot of food that you and Mrs. Miller like."Ethan frowned, asking, "Who?""Mrs. Miller, of course. You were still bedridden with a h
Chapter 353
Olivia dreamt about the time when Ethan still pampered her. Back then, he built a manor of roses for her just because she told him roses were pretty. There were dozens of roses inside the estate, each with different shapes and colors. They were carefully tended by gardeners.It took one whole year for the garden to take shape. It was ready on the day of her birthday. Ethan told her he was busy that day and couldn't have dinner with her. She was disappointed and ended the call with a crestfallen expression, but she didn't blame him. Ethan was the head of the Miller family, and Miller Group had a lot of businesses that he needed to tend to. It was only natural that he was so busy. She thought it wasn't a big deal that he forgot about her birthday. There was always the next one. She was still young and had plenty of birthdays to look forward to. She baked a cake for herself that afternoon. But she messed up several times because she was in a bad mood. She didn't care about th

Just as Ethan wanted to savor the moment, Madam Burgess' loud voice came from downstairs. "Mr. Miller, is Mrs. Miller awake yet?"Her powerful voice penetrated the walls and went straight into Olivia's ears. Olivia instantly snapped back to reality with a chilling realization. She wasn't dreaming! She stopped moving. She could only make out Ethan's silhouette in the darkness and couldn't see his expression. She was utterly in shock. She felt like she was about to explode in embarrassment when she saw that her pajamas were undone.She quickly dove onto the bed and covered herself with her blanket. Ethan was enveloped in immense disappointment. With a bitter smile, he quickly suppressed his emotions."The food's ready. Come downstairs and have some," Ethan said in a deep voice.He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.Olivia, who was hiding under the blanket, was blushing. She couldn't believe the things she just did. She was so close to stripping Ethan and havi
