Chapter 434
Two red lines appeared on the white rectangle. One was dark, and the other was lighter. Olivia forgot how to breathe when she saw it. Her mind blanked out. It was real. She was pregnant. The first emotion she felt was joy. She looked in the mirror and realized she was already in tears. She had spent one and a half years trying to overcome the despair of losing her baby. But she was pregnant once again. Olivia was overjoyed but quickly realized it wasn't the best time to be pregnant. Even though she survived for half a year, the cancer cells were still in her. Those were a time bomb. Once triggered, she would be dead along with her child. But the glow of motherly love appeared on her face when she thought about the baby in her womb. She couldn't help but place her left hand on her stomach. Even though the baby hadn't formed yet and was just a tiny seed, she couldn't help but smile. Her tears fell onto the sink as she muttered, "Baby, is that you? Have you come back
Chapter 435
Ethan tried to picture himself asking Olivia to bear his child again. He could see her with her arms crossed. She would say with an icy smile, "A baby? Sure, as soon as you or your sister is dead."Most of their conversations lately had become like that. "Why aren't you dead yet?""Why are you here if you're still alive?""The weather is nice today. Why don't you die? Is it because you haven't found a suitable burial spot?""Ethan, I saw a nice spot today. You should be buried there.""If you don't want to die alone, why don't we do it together? Would you feel better about dying then?"Ethan could only see mocking smiles on her face. The love she once had was gone entirely. Even so, he was content. At least he could still see her every day. After Ethan had finished helping with Jeff's rehabilitation, he went to Olivia's room again. He saw her putting her hand on her stomach when he walked in. She was talking inaudibly and had a gentle smile on her face. Her expressi

Ethan didn't feel upset when Olivia ridiculed him. He only felt terrible. Olivia used to be a bright and sunny person. He was the reason she became this way. "As long as you're happy."Olivia thought he would defend Marina because she crossed the line. She didn't expect Ethan to be all smiles still. His temper was better than before. "Of course I'm happy. But you seem to bring misfortune to your wives. "Your ex-wife has a broken arm. Your wife-to-be is disabled. Both broken women, your wives." Ethan was at a loss for words. Olivia felt better when she saw his face getting flushed. "Alright, I want to rest now. Get out.""I'll leave you alone now."Ethan left the room slowly and got someone to bring Olivia supper. She had no appetite but thought about the baby in her womb. She treasured this baby even more because she had already lost a baby before. She forced herself to eat, but she underestimated the baby. The vomiting was worse than the last time. She began t

Everly patted Olivia on the shoulder. "Liv, I know you too well. It's the same as back when I scrounged for money to buy a house for that jerk."Almost everyone has been through silly times when they thought love was the only thing to live for. "Look, I'm focusing on earning money now, and I'm equally satisfied."The two recalled their youthful times, and they felt much better.Licking her lips, Everly said, "Liv, I'm kinda thirsty. Peel an apple for me, will you?"She continued without missing a beat, "I still remember when I first got to know you. You didn't even know how to peel an apple back then."When we visited our teacher, you peeled so much of the apple that only the core was left. "We even laughed at your knife skills. Then, for the sake of Ethan, you—"Before Everly finished speaking, she saw Olivia suddenly extending her right hand. As Olivia's palm lowered weakly, Everly's voice came to an abrupt stop."Sorry, Eve. I can't peel the apple for you. I'll go get the

Everly sniffled, looking at Olivia in bewilderment. "The good news."Olivia slowly touched her tummy. As she lowered her gaze, her face was filled with gentleness."I'm pregnant.""What?"Everly almost choked on her saliva. "What about the bad news?""It's Ethan's child."It took a long time for Everly to digest this news. She gaped, unsure of what to say.After a long while of calming down, Everly finally spoke up. "So he chose to get married to Marina while you're pregnant? "Is there something wrong with him? Does he seriously have to get married to her?"Olivia shook her head. "He doesn't know that I'm pregnant. In reality, he doesn't even know that he slept with me.""So you did in vitro fertilization?" Everly blinked. "He's good-looking, yes, but he's not the only handsome man in this world."Why don't you broaden your horizons a little? You could've gotten a prettier baby."Olivia said, "Oh, come on. He was ill and feverish when he slept with me. He wasn't conscious

Under Everly's cover, Olivia entered the ultrasound room.On the surface, she was accompanying Everly to get an examination. But in reality, she was the person who lay on the bed and rolled up her clothes.The female middle-aged doctor was very gentle. "Don't worry, I'll examine the baby thoroughly for you."Smiling, Everly said, "We owe Calvin another favor now."The cold probe slid around the surface of her tummy. Olivia was both nervous and anxious.She had been in ill health for the past six months. She even had chemotherapy six months ago, so she didn't know if it would affect the child."Doctor, how's the child developing?"The doctor chuckled. "They're still too small, so I can't be sure yet. "Still, the gestational sac is at a normal size so far, and there are no signs of ectopic pregnancy. "Everything is normal, so don't worry too much.""Thank you, doctor.""You're welcome. Remember to maintain a good mood. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and take folic acid ev

If Everly were the one saying those things, she would look like she was spouting nonsense. It would all sound like lies.But when Olivia was the one saying it, it rang truer than solid cash.She had the air of a noble and elegant young lady. She looked like she came from a respected family, which was a far cry from the talkative Everly.Everly gave her good friend a thumbs up in her heart. She had to give it to Olivia, who had painted a good image of her in front of her boss right away."You're too kind, Ms. Fordham. I heard Hilton mention about you as well. As expected, seeing is believing."Ms. Fordham, you're such a noble character. It's hard to imagine someone as brash as Hilton would be friends with you."Everly glared at him. She didn't mind if he praised Olivia, but she would have none of his insults.Walking up to Olivia, the man extended his hand. "My name is Henry Synder. Nice to meet you."He had extended his right hand. Olivia glanced at him, feeling a little trou

There was a thud on the other end of the line as if something heavy had hit the ground. Then, Ethan's voice sounded in disbelief. "What did you just say? Pregnant?""She's taking folic acid. If she's not pregnant, why would she take something like that?"Ethan gritted his teeth. "Are you sure you're not seeing things?""Come on, I know I grew up overseas, but I can still read Arlandian. I know how to read folic acid."The call ended at that moment.Henry frowned. He wondered what had happened with Ethan, for Ethan didn't make sense these days.Everly dashed toward Olivia, stuffing the folic acid into the latter's hands. "Don't forget to add this to your vitamins.""Thanks.""No need for thanks. You have to give birth to a healthy baby, alright?" Everly patted Olivia on the shoulder.Olivia nodded. As if thinking of something, she asked, "No one saw you, right?""Don't worry, I'm very fast. This packaging is so fancy that dumb man won't understand what it is at all."Olivia
