There were no windows on the balcony, so she would get wet if it rained.Moreover… she felt like John would not be coming back since he had Dorothy accompanying him.Her heart gave her another faint twitching pain at the thought, but she fought it off.With the glass doors locked and with no way out, she looked down at the lawn she had landed on the last time she climbed out. She probably could do it again...Olivia took a deep breath and carefully climbed over the railing. However, her legs slipped, and she nearly fell.She gritted her teeth and pulled all of the tiles out of her palm. Then, she tried to crawl over the railing again. She moved down inch by inch.However, just before she hit the ground, her hand slipped because it was covered in blood. She fell straight to the lawn, making the tiles in her leg embed deeper into her skin. Olivia did not have the time for this. She needed to get inside.She limped to the front door and keyed in her password, but an error message

Afraid Olivia had fallen or gotten hurt, John looked down, but there was no sign of her.He only learned that Olivia had escaped again when he received a phone call from Zac.She had run away again.“John, you don’t believe anything I say. It makes me very tired. Do you think we should continue our relationship?”Olivia’s slow voice snapped John out of his thought. He glared at Olivia fiercely.“You want to get a divorce and run off with another man? No way!”Then, John took out his mobile phone, pulled Olivia by her hair, and put her face close to the phone. “Look, this is your brother. Do you want him to die?”Olivia felt like her scalp was about to tear off her head. Tears shimmered in her eyes as she looked at Ian on the phone screen. She could do nothing as her body turned to jelly.John was right. She had nowhere to go.With her brother in John’s hands and their child in her womb, she had nowhere to escape.Everything had gone full circle and arrived back to the same is

John looked at Olivia, frowning. His body shuddered involuntarily as he shouted, “Come down! Olivia, think about your brother.”“Bah! Besides threatening me with my brother, what else do you have? You said you would love and protect me for the rest of my life. Look at what you’re doing now.”As Olivia spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks.She felt wronged, so wronged!“I married you because you got down on one knee and swore you’d love me. Look at what you’ve done now.”John felt heartbroken. He had seen Olivia like this before.When they were in love, she was once wronged like this. Back then, she had also been crying like this, out of breath.This woman hated being wronged.How could he forget?He reached out his hand to pull Olivia, but she dodged it.“Go away! Stay back. I’m not going to save that woman!”John’s heart softened, and he said gently, “Liv, why don’t you come down first?”Dumbfounded, Olivia felt like John had become gentle again, just like before.She sat

Zac nodded. “Well, sorry. I had a court case this morning, so I called Johnny. He… didn’t bully you, did he?”Recalling what happened, Olivia pretended to be calm and looked away.She forced a smile. “No.”Zac knew she was lying, but he did not want to expose her lie, so he did not ask further. He helped her set up the table and put the bowl of porridge on it.“This porridge is made with chicken soup, which is very nutritious.”“Thank you.”Sometimes, she felt like she would have already died countless times if Zac had not saved her again and again.However, she could not repay him with anything besides her thanks. Her right hand was covered in red marks from John’s tie, and the cut on her palm looked even more frightening.Her body was, after all, broken.Olivia lowered her head to drink the porridge until she finished a bowl. She felt more alive as she handed the bowl to Zac. “Do you have any more of this?”Zac noticed her appetite and nodded. “I’ll fill your bowl with so

That night, Olivia was on the balcony. She heard Dorothy talking on the phone as she headed downstairs.“John didn’t kill you. What are you afraid of? How can you prove that Olivia cheated on John if you don’t show up?”“Well, wait for me. I’ll be right there. Make sure everything is done perfectly.”Dorothy did not look for John. She must have known Olivia had escaped. So, she set up an accident to cover for her mysterious whereabouts last night.‘Heh! What a mean woman. Her plans are always perfect.‘No wonder I lost to Dorothy. I’ve never been someone who uses despicable means and pretends to be weak.‘Looks like I chose the wrong method to keep my man.‘I think I should learn from Dorothy.’John sped to the police station. After he pulled over, he dragged Olivia out of the car.As they walked into the police station, Olivia felt dizzy, and the pain in her chest increased.‘I don’t have any painkillers. What if I cough blood again?’As soon as they entered, they saw a man
