The first thought Olivia had when she saw Chloe was that they were fated to meet each other. But only
as strangers.
As she turned to leave, Chloe caught up to her and said, “Just give me a moment, Liv. I have
something I need to tell you.”
Olivia didn’t stop. In fact, she sped up. Chloe ran after her.
Then, Olivia only stopped when she heard a nurse say anxiously, “Mrs. Carlton, slow down. Your heart
can’t take much more of this!”
Olivia stopped in her tracks when she heard that. Chloe finally managed to grab her hand.
She said while panting, “Please, just give me a moment, Liv.”
Chloe looked pale and weak without makeup on. Even her lips were slightly bluish.
“Mrs. Carlton, I thought there was nothing left to say between us?”
“Five minutes, Liv, give me five minutes. Please,” Chloe begged.
The nurse standing next to them said, “Mrs. Carlton has a heart condition, miss. Please do not agitate
her anymore.”
Olivia was put on the spot. She couldn’t walk away now.

She walked into her room. Chloe followed behind her.
They each sat on a corner of the couch.
Chloe moved next to Olivia and took her hand. Olivia struggled for a bit. She then gave up because she
didn’t want to risk agitating Chloe.
“Seems like Chris isn’t treating you that well. You had good health when you were with Dad.”
Olivia deduced that Chloe developed a heart condition due to mental stress.
There were only two other ways she could’ve gotten a heart condition.
One was that she was born with it. The other was unhealthy habits. Neither of those could’ve been the
case for Chloe.
Chloe shook her head and said, “Chris is good to me. Really, really good to me.”
Chloe didn’t want to make Olivia feel uncomfortable. She quickly changed the subject, “I left you when
you were young.
“But there were some things that your father probably hasn’t told you. Don’t you want to know why I left
him, Liv?”
Olivia’s other hand grasped the couch tightly. “Wasn’t it because you fell for another man?”
“Let me tell you a story, Liv.”
Chloe’s story wasn’t mind-blowing. It was more melodramatic.
Chloe and Chris had known each other since they were kids.
The Carltons were a family of soldiers. Chris was also obligated to join the army.
He began to take part in covert missions when he was a teenager. He promised Chloe that he would be
back to marry her once the situation got better.
But news of him dying on the battlefield was spread. Chloe was heartbroken.
The Parker Family promised her to Jeff.
Jeff gave her three years to forget about Chris. And so Jeff waited.
Chloe could not betray his kindness. She got married to him under the pressure of her family.

But she had only ever loved Chris. It was the same, be it three years or seven years.
Chris was the love of her life. But just as she was prepared to accept her life as it was, she heard the
news about Chris.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was saved by someone when he was hurt. But he had temporarily lost his memory.
He married the woman who took care of him after his injuries healed.
By the time Chloe heard the news, Chris already had a child of school age.
That was a blemish on their love. It was something that Chloe couldn’t get over.
Even after she also had a child of her own, she was still hung up about the past.
She couldn’t forget about the feelings she had.
These years, she had been neglecting everything around her. That was why she developed a heart
condition.
Chris’ wife later died in an accident. He also recovered his memory.
Chloe didn’t want to have any regrets. So, she went to him without considering any consequences.
Olivia laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes. “Am I supposed to clap for your epic story of
undying love?”
Olivia had misunderstood. She thought Chloe felt guilty after seeing her bleed.
She finally realized. This middle-aged woman had all the love she wanted since she was young.
Her life was all smooth sailing. Everyone around her doted on her. And she had only experienced
hardships in her love life.
That was why she was still living in her own world at this age. That was why she came to talk about
how hard her life had been. “Mrs. Carlton, can’t you live without Chris Carlton?”
