Chapter 1070
The butler of the Carlton residence had been waiting by the gates to welcthe doctor.
He was surprised to see the person getting out of the car.
He thought a famous doctor like Vanessa would always travel with her assistant and driver. Yet, there was only a woman in the car.
Despite her ordinary looks, her aura was different from others.
“Are you Vanessa?”
“Why? Do I not look like ‘Vanessa?'” She closed the car door.
“It’s not like that. I’m just quite taken aback. It must’ve been a tough journey for you to chere. It’s our honor to be able to invite you over to treat our young lady.”
“Where’s the patient?” Olivia didn’t want to waste her tlistening to his courtesy.
“This way, please.”
Although the house was huge, it appeared rather empty on this snowy day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarina was the only grandchild in the house. To add on, she wasn’t their biological granddaughter.
That was definitely a big blow to Otto.
Still, Otto had watched her grow up. He couldn’t bring himself to drive her out of the family, so he settled her down at another place.
Meanwhile, another heir was selected.
Even though Marina had lost the right to be the heiress, the Carltons still looked after her.
She was still the Ms. Carlton who didn’t lack anything.
The moment Olivia stepped into the house, a stranger welcomed her. “You must be Vanessa. I’ve heard a lot about you. I’ll be entrusting my younger sister to you.”
She stopped in her tracks. After all, she had never seen him in the Carlton family when she was still in the city.
Judging from his outfit, she guessed that it was the newly selected heir of the Carlton family-Fabian Carlton.
“Nice to meet you.”
He appeared mild and gentlemanly, not someone calculating.
However, he was surely not an easy man considering that he managed to stand out among his relatives and becthe heir.
Although the Carlton family had receded these few years, Otto wasn’t someone to be underestimated. He still held a certain influence.
Olivia wondered how Marina was doing right now. It had been years since they last met each other.
After the divorce, Ethan didn’t take revenge on her to repay Kurt’s favor for saving him.
Nevertheless, Ethan didn’t care about her anymore. Her life and death didn’t concern him one bit.
Still, there wasn’t a day that Olivia forgot what Marina did to her.
When she pulled her senses back from her thoughts, Fabian responded gently, “We’ve looked for a lot of doctors to treat my sister’s legs, but it’s been useless.
She’s been relying on the wheelchair for many years. So, she’s kinda grumpy. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“I understand,” replied Olivia indifferently.
She walked along the long corridor, heading toward the deepest quarters. That was where Marina was staying right now.
Ethan stripped her of most of her authority after the divorce. The first thing he did was drive her out of Colington Cove.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, that was a mansion meant for Olivia. He didn’t sell it off.
But he couldn’t bear living there after Marina had stayed there. It was repulsive to him.
So, he rented it to a business owner who turned it into a homestay. Now, it had beca popular high- end homestay.
The flowers in the Carlton residence had withered due to winter, and there were few plants planted in the yard.
Most of the trees were bare like Marina’s lonely life.
“Here it is.” The butler pushed the door open.
Before Olivia could see Marina, she smelled something.
In addition to her sensitivity to smell, Olivia had recently been making love with Ethan every day. Thus, she could tell the source of the smell at that instant.
Sexual intercourse had taken place here just a few minutes ago.
“Miss?” the butler called for Marina, but he didn’t see anyone in the room.
Fabian walked toward the bathroom and knocked on the door. He gently said, “Marina, the doctor is here.”
There was no response from inside the bathroom.
Noticing that something was off, Olivia kicked the door open.
Marina, who was dressed in a robe, sat in the bathtub. Her wrist was bloody red.
