Since that day, I've been forcing myself to focus on work. I’ve been pushing myself not to think about what Theo said to me that day, trying to avoid everything that’s about to happen.The high concentration during the surgeries not only brings a sense of achievement but also helps me forget a lot of things. I've never been so inspired and motivated. I could go on like this with the hope that my mind will be completely numb eventually to all the horrible feelings I've had these past few days. But after a 4-hour surgery today, my body seems to have reached its limit.Unlike the usual fatigue I'd feel after an intense surgery, this is different.My head spun with dizziness, my forehead sweaty.My weakened calves made me unable to walk properly, and as I was about to lose balance, someone held me. “Dr. Olivia, are you okay?” A colleague helped me up.I don't even recognize who it is as I can't make out my surroundings properly, except for her familiar voice.“You’ve been working too

The Next Day.The whole media is in an uproar and the entertainment news headlines are all about Theo Wellington’s sudden appearance at the hospital and his dramatic exit when he took the renowned model, Jessica, away. #Jessica Reid's Mysterious Boyfriend Revealed# "The mysterious wealthy man behind Jessica turned out to be Mr. Theo, the richest man in Los Angeles.”"It is said that they were soulmates and first lovers abroad, but were forced to break up due to family reasons.”“In the past few years, Jessica has worked hard to get promoted overseas in order to get the recognition of Theo's family and reunite with Theo as soon as possible."“Wow, such a touching love story!!! So inspiring!”“It's no wonder Mr. Wellington hasn't been sighted with other women before. He must love Jessica a lot!”“The moment Jessica fell ill, he went to the hospital immediately. It shows how much he cares about her!”“Isn't it strange, however? Why haven't they been sighted together before, even abroad

“Dr. Olivia, I know you don't like me. But, anyway, I want to thank you.” Jessica stepped forward, stopping a few inches from me.I thought she had left with Theo after dinner. Why did she follow me?What does she mean? “I don't get it,” I replied, expressing my confusion. “For what do you thank me?”If it's for treating her leg, I think we've long passed that. Jessica has already thanked me at the hospital. If she hadn't summoned me then, I wouldn't have been graced with the opportunity to realize that she was actually Theo’s first love. Wasn't it too coincidental?Was it merely fate?“First of all, I'd like to thank you again for saving my leg.” Jessica smiled. “Secondly, I appreciate that you agreed to let me and Theo be together. Back then, we were forced to separate, and I thought we could never be together. Now you agreed to the divorce...""Who said I agreed to divorce?” I interrupted her, finding her words puzzling and her kindness strange, in fact.I wonder how she was abl

Olivia's POVShutting my eyes, I sucked in a deep breath to hold down the whirlwind of emotions building inside me. Shock, anger, and devastation compounded my heart at once, leaving me weary and exhausted in a split moment.Strange how the events are progressing so fast. Funny how Theo doesn't even give me a space to breathe.He couldn't wait to take Jessica to the Villa and spend the night with her on our matrimonial bed. They’re so desperate to be together and I'm the third wheel. This realization dawned on me, awakening my heartache. I should have left the moment he asked me to. Then I wouldn't go through this pain. To think that he could even take Jessica to the Villa!When we first got married, Theo was busy with work, so his grandfather and I had taken care of decorating the house. The familiar wallpaper, the lamps, the carefully chosen bedsheets—even our wedding photo still hung on the wall behind them, with me smiling sweetly in the picture while Theo had on his signature

Jessica's POVI can't believe that lowly bum escaped my trap last night. Instead of staying around and defending herself, she simply walked away, putting a close to the conflict. I trust Theo's mother and his sister to stand up for me. I hoped Theo could tear her apart. After the old man humiliated me because of her, I wanted to get revenge fair and square and implicate her as well. But Olivia seems different than I imagined. Her calmness gives me a sense of discomfort. It's as if she is hiding some tricks. Not long after Olivia left, Theo asked his mother and sister to go inside… that I'd be fine. Of course, I'm alright. But how can I let go of this rare opportunity in front of me? “Oh, Theo… I can't walk.” I limped forward, throwing myself at him as if I'd lost my balance. “It's too late, anyway. Can't I spend the night here with your family?”But Theo didn't look pleased by my request. I wonder why he can't grant this simple request. “You've already provoked Grandpa,” Theo e
