She chatted with Ryan for a while before heading their separate ways. Olivia looked at the colors of the sky before hailing a cab home.It was the evening rush.

Chapter 43

Ethan was silent. He looked so unhappy that Olivia could feel thorns growing around her heart.Ethan said, "I hope it has nothing to do with you. You were there for three hours. Tell me, what were you doing there?"Olivia thought it was ridiculous that she even had to explain. "I told you I went to visit Grandma. Is it my fault that I have no one to talk to so I spend all my time talking to my dead grandmother? Besides, it’s a gravestone, not a croissant. It would break my arm to do all that. Even if you’re trying to frame me for it, at least bring some evidence.""Look at this then. What is all this?"Ethan revealed another stack of pictures with Olivia holding a hammer. Even Olivia was stunned."An old man in charge of grave maintenance dropped his tools. He looked so pitiful, so I helped him pick his tools up."Olivia didn't know how someone could take photos like this. She anxiously explained, "I only said a few words in front of Leia's grave. The gravestone was fine when I l

Chapter 44

"Olivia, do you know how miserable Leia was while you were living your princess life? I personally went to the village where she used to live. It was a poor and desolate hellhole. Many of them hadn’t had a full meal for three whole days. I heard she had been sold off and locked in a woodshed like a dog. She’s the daughter of the Miller family, she should’ve been treated like a princess, but she was treated like dirt! She suffered for so many years, and when she finally made her way to Aldenvine … I could have found her if she held on for a little longer."Olivia couldn't speak. She could hardly breathe with Ethan’s hands around her neck. Tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes as pushed Ethan back, trying to stir him from his rage.Ethan was lost in his grief. "She was tainted by that bastard, your father. She was choked to death and stuffed in a box. She must have felt so hopeless. You look like you’ve lost all hope now too. Can you feel even a little bit of what she felt?""Let

Chapter 46

Everly muttered, "Look how dumb I am. My ears are already acting up at this age, haha. I actually heard you say you have stomach cancer. The anger I feel for that bastard must have gone to my ears."Olivia pressed her palm to the back of Everly's hand and said gently, "Eve, you have to face reality."Everly stopped what she was doing and looked up at Olivia through blurry eyes. "You're kidding, right?"However, Olivia's eyes were dead serious. "You know I never joke around. I was going through chemotherapy when I cut my hair short last time."Everly fought back her tears to no avail. She grabbed Olivia's hand tightly, still unable to fathom it. "It must be a misdiagnosis! You're so young and strong as a bull. How could you have stomach cancer?!"Olivia sat her down and explained everything.Everly's face was covered in tears. With them both being so young, she had always taken their good health for granted. She couldn't comprehend that such a terminal illness had hit so close to

Chapter 47

As a former medical student, Everly was very aware of the side effects of chemo, and she expressed her understanding of Olivia's decision. Moreover, a lot of patients died from the side effects rather than the cancer itself, which was a torturous way to go. She could never selfishly request Olivia to endure the pain. She hugged the latter from behind before she started to weep. "Okay. I'll stay by your side."Olivia's pajamas were soaked with Everly's tears. Everly said, "You must have been through so much pain. Sorry for not knowing this earlier.""I've been doing better in the past two days. Eve, thank you. I don't want to leave the world alone. I had wanted Ethan to keep me company, but look at how things turned out. He and I are probably done for."Everly fumed at the mention of Ethan. "Liv, you said that someone damaged his sister's grave, and there was footage of you with a hammer in your hand. Could you have been framed?""Marina must have been behind this. No one else c

Chapter 48

Ethan had so much to say to her, but he only managed to blurt out a curt response. "Let's go."They seemed to be bound to a silent understanding not to bring up the past. Once they completed the procedure, they were officially divorced. Olivia didn't say a word throughout the process and turned to leave once the divorce was finalized. He couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans after this?"She didn't even turn around to look at him. "It's none of your business, Mr. Miller."A piece of snow fell from the tree branch onto her shoulder. Ethan reflexively reached out to wipe it off, but his fingers froze mid-air when he realized that he had no right to do so. The reason he set her free was to put an end to the grudges between them.The sunny winter day reminded him of the weather on the day they got married. She was lovely in her white bridal dress, wearing a bright smile. That day, she joked with him, "I hope we'll never need to visit this place anymore.""Never.""But wha

Chapter 49

The post-divorce life wasn't as terrible as Olivia had thought. She rested at home for a few days with Everly's company. Her best friend prepared nutritious meals for her. Her condition improved.She did not suffer much from the effects of chemo. She could never be as healthy as her pre-cancer days. But at least her fainting spells had decreased. The wound on her arm healed, and her hair loss was under control. Everything seemed to be working out for her.Everly was happy for Olivia. They spent a few nights sleeping side by side. She believed that Olivia would eventually emerge stronger from the trauma as she had stopped sleeping by the baby cot.Seeing that Olivia was in great condition, Everly suggested, "The class president organized a gathering. Let's attend it together since we're both free.""I …" Olivia wanted to turn down the invitation but was cut off by Everly. "Our old classmates are doing pretty well for themselves. Aren't you looking for a better neurosurgeon? Who

Chapter 50

Crestfallen again, Everly cussed, "Why isn't that cheating bitch Marina the one dying?""Well, that's fate. I suppose my baby misses me too much. Don't be too sad about it. I've completed the marathon of life, but you take your time." To soothe Everly, she joked, "Do pay me lots of visits and bring fresh flowers when I'm gone. Think of it as an early investment while I set things up in heaven for both of us. When it's your time to join me, we'll be living the high life in heaven with angels looking after us. Does that make you feel better?"Everly finally smiled through her tears. "Oh, I guess I'll need to find the perfect spot for your grave so you can rest in peace and look after your kids from above. Ah, shoot, I forgot you don't have kids. You should hang on for a few more years, and I'll make you the godmother of my child."Olivia grinned. "Sounds good."At night, Olivia dressed up for the classmate gathering. Her short hair made her look chic and grown-up. She exuded the el

Chapter 51

The long-overdue class gathering was merry. Everly was a social butterfly. She managed to make conversations with almost anyone at the event. The attendees were more shocked to see Olivia. A lot of her classmates went up to her and asked, "Olivia, I heard you're married. Why didn't you invite us to your wedding? Are we not good enough for you?"Before Olivia could say a word, a woman interjected with a shrill voice, "It's not that we're not good enough for her. It's the other way around, isn't it? She probably hid from us because her family went bankrupt."The woman was Calista Davies, who saw Olivia as her archenemy. Back in the day, the Davieses were not as wealthy as the Fordhams. So Calista always ranked second to Olivia in whatever she did. She should have been the wealthy, popular girl in school, but her spark went out when she was next to Olivia. That was the reason behind her vengeful attitude. Now that the Fordhams went bankrupt, Calista would not miss the opportunity to
