Soon, the whole medical team arrived. "Mrs. Miller, we'll proceed with the emergency treatment right now. Please leave for now."Mona hastily took the stunned Olivia out of the room. Looking at Olivia, who had a terrible look on her face, Mona was anxious as well."Mrs. Miller, don't worry. Mr. Fordham will be fine. Please take care of the babies in your tummy."Olivia felt conflicted. She had to make sure that her children were safe, but she was also worried about Jeff.The doctor had just told her to avoid strong emotions last night, but now, she couldn't relax at all.She stared anxiously at the room. A moment later, the doctor walked out, wiping his sweat as he did so.Olivia asked worriedly, "How is he?""Don't worry, Mrs. Miller. We saved Mr. Fordham."The nurse placed the pendants into Olivia's hands. "Mrs. Miller, Mr. Fordham had survived thus far because of a single fixation. You have to make sure that he maintains it."He's like a taut string, so as soon as he relaxe
Olivia, who was drinking the soup, turned around to look at Mona. After Mona ended the call, Olivia asked, "Did something happen at home?""My younger brother got into an accident when he was going home. His leg is broken. Olivia, I—"Before she could finish speaking, Olivia interrupted her. "I'll give you two days off, so go back and visit him. Family is important, after all.""Thank you, Olivia. But what about you?""We have many doctors, housekeeping staff, and bodyguards here. They're all serving me, so what can happen to me? I'll also ask the financial department to give you your salary beforehand.""You don't have to do this, Olivia.""Just go. There's no need to be so polite around me. I'll get someone to send you to the hospital right now."Olivia waved her hand, telling Cyril to take Mona there. She also informed the surgeon about it beforehand.She could already see that Cyril liked Mona, but the silly woman only had eyes for the upperclassman.Olivia wouldn't comment on the
"Mrs. Miller." Cyril looked pitiful. "It's not that I can't win her heart. Her heart is occupied with another man. How can she even look at anyone else?"Olivia thought about it. He had a point.After all, when she was in love with Ethan back then, she didn't even spare a look at the other men confessing to her.Now, she didn't even remember what those men looked like."Don't give up. You'll get a wife eventually.""I'm not getting one anymore.""You're so stubborn." Olivia facepalmed. Each of these people was more stubborn than the next."Mrs. Miller, it's raining soon, so don't go out at night. You might slip and fall in the yard.""Okay."Olivia continued drinking her soup. The children in her tummy were quite active at that moment. Olivia decided to walk around the room before going to sleep.Rain poured all through the night, accompanied by instances of thunder. Olivia couldn't sleep well all night.The next day, the rain was still going strong. Olivia had no choice but to read a
Cyril put his phone away. He had no idea why Olivia would suddenly ask that question. He wondered if she had found something.He went to the surveillance room in person. The villa was situated halfway up the mountain. Surveillance cameras were installed along the path to the estate.If any car went up the mountain, they would've noticed it while it was at the foot of the hill. Then, they would keep watch on the vehicle in real time.This was a remote place, and a mansion was also built there. Ordinary people wouldn't normally come here.Even if some hikers occasionally came to the mountain, they would be told to turn back halfway through.Usually, only the Millers' cars were seen in this area, transporting various resources. No strangers would be in sight.After looking at the footage for a long while, Cyril didn't notice anything off.Cyril's gaze moved downward. He noticed that a few surveillance cameras on the bottom had blacked out.Those cameras were installed on the cliff
Olivia pulled the covers over her head, feeling a little annoyed by the thunder outside. She covered her ears firmly, trying to go to sleep as soon as possible.The more annoyed she felt, the harder it was for her to fall asleep. Also, she kept feeling a chill run down her spine.She felt like there was a voice in her mind telling her to run.She didn't know where she would run to or why she would have to run.She had already called Cyril, and many people patrolled the villa 24/7. If there indeed were a problem, they would've noticed it already.Olivia shook her head. She had to stop herself from thinking too much. She even started to hear things.After struggling for a long while, she still couldn't fall asleep. She took out the gun Jack gave her half a year ago. It could help her feel more assured, at least.The two babies in her tummy were probably tired from kicking around. So, they grew quiet.The thunder and sound of waves hitting the reefs came one after the other.A co
Someone caught up to them. He was wearing waterproof clothing and had goggles over his eyes. Even though his jaw was the only exposed body part, Mona could recognize him right away.It was Warren.At that moment, she wished she could open her mouth and ask him why he did that. She wanted to ask him who he was.In the next second, she saw the man raising his gun. He was aiming at Olivia.He didn't say anything unnecessary, nor did he show any signs of his arrival. He came here for Olivia.At that moment, Mona couldn't see the Warren she knew in this man. He looked like death itself.He was drenched because of the rain. Raindrops slowly dripped down the slick surface of his clothes. The wool carpet in the corridor turned wet.When he pulled the trigger, Mona didn't even think twice before she stood in front of Olivia.The bullet dug into the flesh. Olivia heard a groan ringing in her ears.Olivia's pupils caught the image of blood sputtering out of Mona's body. In the next s
Olivia's pained wails resounded throughout the villa. Cyril had just dealt with the man who was running out of Olivia's room. In the end, he was still too late.When he saw the blood spurting from Mona's chest, he felt as if his heart had turned numb.After all, he had undergone professional training. Even if his relatives had fallen in front of him, he wouldn't pause his mission.Cyril saw that the man was wearing a bulletproof vest and, hence, unharmed. Lunging at Warren, Cyril engaged in close combat with him.Olivia lowered the gun in her hand. Her mind was buzzing, and she could only see red.Mona's body fell limply by her side. Blood tainted the bracelet on her wrist.The pendant she had praised before was now covered in blood. It lay on the floor with her body, never to get up again.Olivia knelt on the floor, tears pouring out of her eyes. She wanted to block the wounds with her hands, but the blood kept flowing endlessly."Mona, hang in there. The doctors are coming so
Olivia knew that very well. But after experiencing something like that, she couldn't calm her emotions at all.Patting her on the back to soothe her emotions, Cody spoke in a gentle voice. "Don't worry, we've already moved Mr. Fordham away."He's fine, and you're okay too. This is the best outcome."Olivia doubted it.She had lost a good friend moments ago.The car sped along the road. At that speed, they would be able to get off the mountain and enter the circular route in a little more than ten minutes.Rain fell in dense sheets. Even with the wipers frantically sweeping, they couldn't clear out the incoming rain.The mountain was very foggy. With the heavy rain and strong winds, it wasn't easy to drive under such conditions.Everyone was anxious, and the children had been kicking in her tummy for a while.Olivia kept touching her tummy to soothe the children. In a sobbing voice, she said, "Be good, children. Don't make a fuss. I'm here. I'll protect you."As she coaxed, the children
