Ethan looked at Leia, who was in his arms. She was heavily wounded, but she was smiling. She looked like a proud general that had won the war. "Ethan, I won." Leia fainted in his arms after she said that. Ethan was panicking. He knew he had lost Olivia forever. Avery didn't expect Olivia to be hurt.Colin's eyes became bloodshot as he said, "Olivia, your arm!""I'll be fine, Colin.""How could this be fine? You're going to be a doctor. This injury will cost you your career."Colin tended to her injury urgently while lamenting her fate. Colin became a doctor because Olivia inspired him to do so, but Olivia ended up like this. "A doctor …" Olivia lay on the bed and smiled weakly.Olivia did want to be a good doctor back then, but Ethan dashed her dreams and made her submit to a life as a housewife. And this time, he destroyed her hand. Her life was a mess because of him. She could still feel a piercing pain in her heart when she thought about Ethan. The pain would spread f
Olivia wasn't in a good state. She was already sick, and the gunshot wound made it worse. She developed a high fever in the night. The fever made Olivia delirious. She felt like she was floating on the sea.She muttered, "Mom, I'm so cold … Please don't leave me. Baby, don't leave. Bring me with you. Living is so painful. It hurts … It really hurts."Colin looked at Olivia with tears in his eyes. He felt so bitter. Olivia was only 21 years old, but she had gone through so many hardships."Olivia, I'll take good care of you. I swear."Olivia slept for a whole day before waking up. Her arm had already been bandaged. Her wrist was wrapped in white bandages, and she couldn't see how the injury looked. She could only feel the pain when she tried to move.She realized it wasn't a dream. Ethan had shot her. "You're awake, Olivia," Colin said excitedly. Olivia opened her eyes to look at him. "Where are we, Colin?""We're on international waters. We've left Aldenvine behind, Olivia.
Ethan's expression became stormy. He almost thought he heard wrong. "What did you say? A kidney transplant?""That's right. Ms. Fordham is planning to donate one of her kidneys to him. That's why she did so many medical examinations," the nurse said with a surprised expression. She continued, "Mr. Miller, our hospital is known for kidney transplants. It's hard to find a match, so the transplant should be done as soon …"Ethan ran out of the hospital before she finished. He finally understood why a stranger like Avery would help Olivia. It was because her kidney was a match for him. Although she could still live with one kidney, it would still adversely affect her health. She was so young. Ethan didn't want her to give up a kidney just like that. "Mrs. Miller isn't in Aldevine currently, Mr. Miller. Even Avery has gone missing. We aren't able to find either of them right now." "Mr. Miller, you have to rest. We'll inform you as soon as we get news of Mrs. Miller."Ethan used
Olivia had started to feel insecure. People close to her were leaving her one by one. Jeff was the only reason she wanted to live. She put all her hopes on Jeff; she couldn't let him leave her too. She wanted to wipe Jeff's body, but her right hand was completely useless. She can't even wring a towel dry with it. Colin saw the disappointment in her eyes. He wrung the towel and handed it back to her. He comforted her patiently, saying, "Olivia, you don't have to rush things. Ethan didn't hit any vital areas. There's still a chance your hand might recover. You need to rest." Olivia smirked. "Am I supposed to be grateful to him for that?"She looked at her limp arm and said coldly, "My biggest regret was I was too slow and failed to kill that crazy bitch Leia."She recalled the pain in Leia's expression and her refusal to utter a sound. It was abnormal. "Olivia, she doesn't have it good either. Her body is not in good shape.""And you think I have it good?" Olivia smiled bitt
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
