"Yeah, I drank it." Olivia's voice was indifferent.
Linus' eyes were fixated on her. "How did you pull it through? II
"Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor, Mr. Linus? It's not like it's a terminal illness." No one could find
fault with her perfect answer.
Looking outside the window, she sighed. "It seems like the snow will be pouring for a few days. Please
inform your father to stay warm. He's weak and can't catch a cold. I won't be around for two days. I've
handed the recipes to your mother."
"Okay."
"Plus, keep him away from emotional stress. He has just undergone a heart surgery. Overworking is a
no-no for him. Mood swings too. It's best to keep him light-hearted always, " she reminded.
"I'll take note of that."
The car stopped at the Carlton residence. She gave him a nod. "I should get going, then. The roads are

Linus grabbed her hand unconsciously.
Her eyes were directed at his hand, carrying a tint of aloofness. "Is there anything else, Mr. Linus?"
He quickly released her. "Sorry, I just wanted to ask if you need a ride back the day after tomorrow."
"I can travel back by myself, thanks." She pushed the car door open, embracing the cold wind.
Linus suddenly asked, “I heard that your daughter is going to turn three soon. You have lost your
memories and been single for so many years. Have you never thought of finding a partner?"
He lacked the experience of dating and chasing someone, hence the straightforward question.
It reminded her of what Ethan had said.
Before this, she merely shrugged it off as a mere coincidence.
Now, the uneasiness in Linus' eyes had given her a certain answer—he liked her.
"I’m happy with my life right now and have no plans of marriage. Bye." She strode away without looking
back.
The Carltons, who had been waiting for her, welcomed her.
Meanwhile, Linus watched her leave, deeply absorbed in his thoughts.
Otto saw Olivia as a goddess upon learning that the Heaths showed her reverence.
"Vanessa, you're a miraculous doctor! You've only given Marina acupuncture treatment a few times, but
I already see impressive progress in her recovery. Of course, I also made sure she had a foot spa
every day. Thank you so much, Vanessa!"
Even Marina's impression of Olivia had changed.
At first, she found the doctor quite weird due to the hostility.
Her days were no less different than hell. She put up with it for two weeks, and now, she could slowly
feel her legs and be in more control of them.
Her respect for Olivia had grown. "When will I be able to walk?"

Olivia stared at the scars covering Marina's feet. It was the result of poking the blisters.
It was easy to tell how much Marina suffered in the past weeks.
Like a bird yearning to fly out of the cage, she desired freedom more than anything.
Olivia thought, "Soon, she'll know what awaits her outside the cage."
"Two to three months, depending on your fitness," she answered without lifting her head.
"I'll be able to walk again that soon?" Marina was touched to tears of joy.
"That is if everything goes well. Lie down. I'm going to start the acupuncture treatment."
The next acupuncture treatment was always more painful than the last one.
Although Marina dipped her feet in hot water every day, she couldn’t get used to the pain.
She clenched her teeth at the pain, showing full determination. It was as though something was on her
mind.
"Grandpa, did you hearthat? I'll be able to walk again soon!”
Otto caressed her head lovingly. "Yes, I didn't expect that. I had thought it would've been impossible."
Marina had high hopes. "Say, do you think Ethan will consider me once I recover?"
