Even After Death

Chapter 198

Chapter 198

But what happened was Chloe went out in the morning. She went for a beauty treatment, had afternoon tea, and attended a music concert.

Victor called her. She replied coldly, “Why are you telling me? I am not a doctor! Get her a doctor if she’s sick.”

Olivia was in a daze from the fever. She kept calling for cake in her dreams.

She kept calling out for the cake until the fever subsided. She looked at the snow falling outside.

Victor brought her a teddy bear cake. She smiled happily.

“Mom must’ve made this right?”

“Yup.”

She found out later that the cake was made by the chef. Her mother did not take care of her. She didn’t even ask about her.

Time passed. Olivia watched as the faces of her mother in the past and present overlapped.

Truthfully, her mother wore a cold expression and was harsh to her.

Olivia heard from her classmates that most parents liked children with good grades. So, she worked hard to improve her grades just to see her mother smile.

She was more hardworking than anyone else. She had always been one of the best students in her class since she was a kid.

She always thought that her mother would pay more attention to her if she worked harder.

If she dropped to second place, she would work hard without rest to get back to the top of the class.

She did not expect her mother to see her persistence as nothing to be proud of.

Neither did she expect her mother to think that she was stubborn and underhanded because of her hard work.

Olivia suddenly laughed. Her laugh was bone–chilling.

Ethan frowned. He wanted to put in a good word for her.

Chloe continued to say, “Liv, Marina is a good woman. It wasn’t easy for her to have her own family.

“I beg you. Can you just let Ethan go? I don’t want to see Marina sad anymore.”

“This is the first time that I’ve heard someone who interfered in a marriage get called a good woman.

“Mrs. Carlton, have you ever thought about how she came between me and Ethan while you were feeling bad for her?”

“I will not comment on what happened in the past because I don’t know what happened. But since you’re divorced now, you should respect each other’s boundaries.

“You are only 21 years old. I can send you to a school overseas. You still have a long life ahead of you.”

Chloe reached out to touch Olivia’s face. “You’re my daughter. I truly hope that you can also find your own happiness.”

Olivia reacted strongly and pushed Chloe’s hand away. “Don’t touch me!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She was like a hedgehog. She had curled up in a ball and raised her spikes.

If she knew this was how her mother was going to be, would she still have hoped for her return for so many years?

“Mrs. Carlton, you only need to pursue your own happiness.

“As for me? You’ve never loved me. Why act like you feel guilty? It’s disgusting.”

“Liv, I’m still your mother. How could you talk to me like this? Your father must’ve failed to raise you properly.” “Keep my father out of your mouth. You’re the one person in this world who has no right to talk about him!

“Mrs. Carlton, stop trying to morally blackmail me. What I do with the rest of my life has nothing to do with you!”

Olivia glared at her and said, “The biggest mistake I’ve made in my life was to come to you and ask for your help.”
