Even After Death

Chapter 206

Marina was exacting her revenge on Olivia. She could never forget the time when Olivia pinned her down and hit her.

She wasn’t blind. She could see that Olivia wasn’t feeling well. But she was taking this chance to attack Olivia because she couldn’t fight back.

She kicked Olivia as hard as she could while Olivia couldn’t stand up. She wanted to vent her anger.

“Stop kicking her, Marina.” Chloe reached out and tried to stop Marina.

Marina didn’t usually care about what Chloe had to say. But she didn’t mind at the moment. “Mom, didn’t you say she loves to pretend? She deserves to be kicked.”

As she was speaking, she kicked Olivia a few more times. She even slapped Olivia in the face.

“You bitch, stop pretending!”

Olivia wanted to argue, but she couldn’t speak. She could only feel her consciousness fading slowly.

She could feel something picking her up in her daze. She could feel someone talking. But she couldn’t hear what was said.

She murmured, “Home, I want to go home…”

A man’s voice said next to her ear, “Alright, I’ll bring you home.”

She was then put on the person’s back. Her head slumped weakly onto his shoulder, and he carried her away with steady steps.

For some reason, Olivia suddenly recalled something that happened to her as a kid. She was pushed over by some bullies. The children were throwing pebbles and mud at her.

“You’re a motherless bastard!”

“Your mother is shameless! I heard she ran away with another man.”

She retaliated in anger. She fought with the bullies.

But she was beaten until she had no strength left. She was hurt all over.

Jeff found her later. She held his hand and said while crying, “They called me a motherless bastard.”

Jeff smiled gently and patted her head lightly. “Silly girl, you have me!”

“But… I miss mom.”

“Although your mother is in another country, and you are very far apart, she misses you too.”

A glimmer of delight flashed on her face. But the glimmer quickly dimmed.

“Why did she leave me if she misses me?”

Jeff crouched down before her and said gently, “Olivia, everyone has a right to pursue their own happiness.

“Your mother finally found her happiness. Even if she isn’t here, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t love you.”

“What about you, Dad? Will you leave me one day like Mother did?” Olivia asked while she tugged at his sleeve.

Her expression was filled with worry. She had already lost her mother. She didn’t want to lose her father too.

Jeff knew what she was thinking immediately. “No, I will never leave you.”

Olivia broke into a smile.

Jeff crouched down and carried her on his back. “Don’t worry, Liv. I will always be with you.”

She laid on her father’s broad back with a faint smile. “Dad, if you ever find your own happiness, I’ll also give you my blessing.

“Silly girl, you’re my happiness.”

Ethan saw a sweet smile appear on Olivia’s lips while she was unconscious. It was the first time he saw such an innocent expression on her in a long time. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Olivia held his hand tightly and yelled, “Don’t go! Don’t go!”

Ethan said softly, “Okay, I won’t go.”

The next instant, Olivia opened her eyes and jumped into his arms. She said with a nasal voice, “Dad.”

Ethan was rendered speechless.
