Chapter 278
Mrs. Jameson knew her efforts were pointless, so she quickly apologized before leaving.
After she left, Olivia looked out of the window and sighed.
There were two things she regretted most in her life.
One was bringing Dorothy back to the Larson family, and the other was marrying John.
If she did not marry John, he might still be the sunshine in her life, and he would be her deepest secret. It
would be better than being wounded and feeling hurt now.
Nothing much happened for a few days after that.
Ken was responsible for Olivia and Zyla’s meals. It saved them from plenty of trouble. Olivia
accompanied Zyla in her room most of the time, chatting with each other.
One afternoon, while they were chatting, Olivia received a call from Zac.
“Liv, my friend who majors in cancer research is coming to Ocean city next week. He will do a full body
check-up on you and see what we can do about your illness.”

Zac did not know what had happened. Worried, he quickly asked, “Olivia? What’s the matter?”
“N-nothing,” Olivia paused. “Zac, can I refuse your offer?”
“Why?”
“I-I’m afraid.”
She would not know what to do if it did not work out.
“Liv, we’ll only be able to cure you if we learn more about your condition. It’s pointless if you continue to
cheat yourself like this.”
Clutching the phone, Olivia bit her lips. “I-I know, but…”
“No “but’s! Olivia, I’ll make sure you do this test. You have no choice but to accept.
this.”
Zac was serious about this, leaving Olivia unable to reject it.
“Okay, I get it. I won’t run away.”
Zac heaved a sigh of relief. “Liv, rest assured. The situation will get better.”
Olivia knew she would die, but she was afraid she would die too soon. After all, had not completed many
things yet.
However, she did not want Zac to know how she felt, so she quickly changed the topic. “By the way, what
about Jorge? You didn’t kill him, did you?”
she
“No, but he’s been crippled, so don’t worry. The Winston family will not dare to look for trouble again.”
“Crippled?” Olivia felt nervous. “I-I only cut off his finger.”
At the time, she was calm, but afterward, she broke out into a cold sweat.
She used to be too afraid to kill a fish, let alone chop off a man’s fingers….
Zac could imagine Olivia’s hesitating expression, and he chuckled. “Rest assured, it’s not because of
what you did.”
“Oh, that’s great.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hanging up the call, she heard Zyla scoff. “Heh, the Winston family is weak, yet they still want to
seek revenge.”
Then, she handed the phone to Olivia. “Jorge won’t seek revenge anymore. He’s now like a mummy
lying on the hospital bed. It will take him at least a year and a half to recover.”
Olivia looked at it with a sigh of relief.
Jorge was badly wounded. The finger he lost was only something minor compared to everything else.
Suddenly, a man opened the door and walked in, carrying a fruit basket.
As soon as he entered, he bowed at a ninety-degree angle to both of the girls.
Zyla was startled and looked at him in bewilderment. “Erm… Did you enter the wrong
room?”
The man shook his head. “I’ve come to thank Ms. Larson.”
Olivia looked at him. She thought he looked familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen
him before.
“Who are you?”
The man put the fruit basket aside and explained, “Ms. Larson, my name is Fred
Jameson. I’m the one who took you as my hostage a while back.”
