Olivia held the check between her fingers. The look in her eyes was unfathomable. "Why?"
"For personal reasons. I hope you can make it happen, Vanessa."
"But I've already told your sister that the chances of success are quite high."
Fabian smiled. "An operation is like an exam. It's normal for occasional mistakes to occur, right?"
"As you wish, then, Mr. Fabian." Olivia filled in the amount on the check.
99.99 million dollars.
"You're okay with this, right, Mr. Fabian?" She was asking for a lot.
Fabian only glanced at it. "Sure. Whatever you wish."
Olivia put the check away. "Well, then. Here's to a great partnership."
Fabian had heard of Vanessa's fame a long time ago. She didn't belong to any hospital, and even when
she treated patients, she did it of her own will.
He wasn't sure if she would agree to this, but fortunately, she did.
Marina had no idea that the person who loved her the most had joined hands with the person who
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthated her the most.
Ethan didn't come too soon. Olivia was sitting in the living room, enjoying tea with Otto. Then, through
the floor-to-ceiling windows, she saw Ethan striding over to them.
He was even holding a transparent and exquisite box in his hand. Within it was a small snowman made
of white and red roses. The Santa hat on it was a little lopsided, and it looked very adorable indeed.
No wonder Ethan had come so late. He had bought a present.
From a distance, Erina ran over to Ethan. Ethan handed the snowman to Erina, and Erina seemed
delighted with it. She swayed Ethan's hand as she talked to him.
Reaching out, Ethan patted Erina on the head. From his moving lips, Olivia could see that Ethan was
saying that Erina had gotten taller.
Marina came out in her wheelchair. She had taken a long time to put on makeup.
Normally speaking, she was much prettier than Krystal. She wasn't too arrogant, and when she was in
the wheelchair, she looked very pitiful.
Olivia had decided that if Ethan behaved even a little sympathetically toward Marina, she would ban
him from her bed for life.
Marina had her back to Olivia, so Olivia didn't know what Marina was saying. Throughout the process,
Ethan had his gaze trained on Erina.
After a few exchanges, Otto and Olivia got up as well. They were headed to the dining room for dinner.
Fabian wasn't around, so Olivia helped Otto get there in his wheelchair.
She could see that Otto didn't have much longer to live. He was involved in substance abuse back
then.
He felt great when he took the supplements Toxic Hive gave him, but in reality, his life was being spent.
His lifespan had shortened.
Olivia had her own principles. She would not attack old people, pregnant women, or little children. She
would hold onto those principles even if she was faced with the executioner who killed Chloe.
The cold wind was blowing outside when Erina's clear voice rang out. "Dad, both Mom and I missed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou a lot."
Before Ethan replied, he happened to meet Olivia's gaze. Olivia was standing behind Otto, and she
looked at Ethan as if she was looking at a stranger.
Olivia was skilled at hiding her emotions now. As long as she refused it, no one would be able to pry
into her thoughts and emotions.
"Long time no see, Mr. Carlton Senior. How are you?"
Otto coughed. "Not too good these days. You should visit me more often."
"I'm busy."
Then, Ethan looked at Olivia. He said justifiably, "I see that Vanessa is here too."
"Yes."
Olivia looked away. She was leaving with Otto when Ethan hastily went after them. "Vanessa, allow
me."
When he reached out for the wheelchair, he accidentally brushed against Olivia's cold fingertips. Olivia
didn't even glance at him before walking away. "Sure."
Now, Ethan was very sure that Olivia was furious!
