Olivia Lawson's heart clenched at those words.She instinctively looked toward Damon Holloway in the booth, hoping he would deny it.If he explained, she would believe him. They had been close for seven years and dated for three. She couldn't believe their entire relationship had been nothing more than a way for him to use her.But Damon only looked at her in silence. There was relief in his eyes, as if he was glad the truth was finally out.Fiona Carlisle clearly wasn't happy with his silence. She snatched up her purse and gave him a cold smile."You're hesitating, Damon. If it's really that hard to choose, fine. I'm out. You two can stay together forever for all I care."She turned to leave, but Damon caught her and pulled her into his arms."Come on, princess. At least give me a little time to adjust. If I'd known seeing me kiss another woman on a dare was all it took for you to figure out how you really feel, why would I have wasted all that time?"Olivia dug her nails into her pal

The man yelped in pain as Damon's grip tightened around his arm.Fiona lightly tugged at Damon's sleeve, her tone annoyed. "Damon, what are you doing?"Damon's expression remained cold. "Olivia is a guest of the Holloway family today. Anyone who disrespects her is disrespecting me. Got it?"With that, he released the man.The man didn't dare argue with Damon, but he shot Olivia a vicious glare.Olivia instinctively looked up at Damon. She hadn't expected him to stand up for her.Fiona clenched her teeth, then forced a smile and quickly changed the subject."You know Trevor Pierce is always joking around. Why get into it with your friend over some outsider? We came here to set off fireworks, remember? I'll go light them."Damon nodded, his tone softening. "I'll help you.""No." Fiona deliberately tightened her hold on his arm, staking her claim as she spoke in a playful tone. "I told you, this fireworks show is my gift to you and your grandpa. All you have to do is enjoy it."Damon smil

Before Olivia could finish, Fiona suddenly clutched her chest and burst out laughing."I don't know where you heard that our hospital secretly paid a fortune to bring in a cardiac surgeon for this case, but do you even know who she is?"She looked Olivia up and down, her contempt impossible to hide."She's a world-renowned cardiac surgeon, one of the biggest names in the field. She was nominated for an international lifetime achievement award in medicine at a remarkably young age."Top hospitals line up to have her perform their surgeries, and even some of the country's leading medical teams rely on her expertise."Fiona looked down at Olivia, whose eyes were wrapped in gauze and who looked battered and disheveled. Her voice dripped with mockery."And you think you can pretend to be someone like that? Losing your sight wasn't enough? Did you lose your mind too? And now you're making outrageous claims like this and expecting people to believe you?"Several staff members nearby let out q

The realization hit Damon like a thunderbolt.His entire body went rigid. Every trace of cold menace, anxiety, and hostility in his eyes vanished, leaving only hollow, stunned disbelief.Olivia hadn't lied. She hadn't been putting on an act.The mysterious world-renowned cardiac surgeon the hospital had spent six months trying to bring to Calverton, the only surgeon who could save his grandfather, really was Olivia.The moment Fiona got a clear look at the phone's wallpaper, her face went white as a sheet."How... how could it be Olivia?" she murmured, her voice trembling. "No. Damon, there has to be some mistake."Right, Olivia doesn't even have a child. Maybe the woman in the photo just looks like her. She didn't even get her degree back then. How could she possibly be that surgeon?"A child...Damon stared at the photo, and the entire world seemed to go silent.Olivia was wearing a white coat, leaning against a railing in a hospital hallway. In her arms was a little girl with her ha

Vivian studied Damon's face for several seconds. Then something seemed to click, and her expression abruptly changed."Was it because of Fiona?""Mom." A warning edged Damon's voice.Vivian stood and walked over to him, frustration creeping into her tone."I know what happened between you and Olivia back then."You begged me to fund three new buildings for the university just so they'd go easier on her over the plagiarism case, didn't you? If you had feelings for her, then why did you help Fiona go after her...""Mom!" Damon suddenly raised his voice.Realizing he'd lost his composure, he took a deep breath and lowered his voice again."I never had feelings for her."He had only helped Olivia because he'd used her before, and he didn't want to owe her anything.Vivian watched his expression go distant and shook her head."I'm only saying this because Olivia's parents divorced when she was little, and she was raised by her grandparents. She hasn't had an easy life. You two need to stop
