Even After Death

Chapter 260

Olivia didn’t know how Chris managed to charm Chloe. She thought, “She’s already so old, so how can she still be so naive?” She replied, “Why should I bless them? Marina is the reason I ended up like this today. I haven’t even made her pay for what she’s done to me, but I’m supposed to give her my blessing now? What’s the logic behind this?”

Chloe said, “I also heard about what happened between you two. Liv, what happened to your child was an accident.

“Marina also fell into the sea, and she almost ended up like you. But she was fortunate enough to have given birth to the child. You can’t blame her.”

Olivia knew that Marina had been spinning tales in front of Chloe again.

No matter what Marina said, Chloe would believe her and reprimand Olivia instead.

“Mrs. Carlton, your generosity knows no bounds. Have you considered doing charity work?”

Chloe said in exasperation, “Liv, I’m sincerely inviting you to attend their engagement ceremony. What’s with your attitude? Why are you still holding on at this point?

“Can’t you be a good girl so that I can stop worrying about you?”

Every word Chloe said was like salt rubbed into Olivia’s wound. Sadly, Chloe didn’t know how much Olivia suffered. She even kept rubbing it in, hurting Olivia even more.

Marina had won by a landslide.

She not only got the man, but even Olivia’s mother had taken her side as well.

Olivia didn’t want to explain any further. She asked lightly, “Tell me. If Marina and I were in danger, and only one of us would survive, who would you choose?”

“You, of course. You’re my daughter. Everything I do is for your good.”

Chloe sighed. “You might think that my words are foul, but I’m truly doing all this so that you can be happier. You were once a part of me, after all. I truly love you.”

“That’s enough. It’s not like Marina and I have opposing views, but you can’t ask us to get along with each other. Getting out of each other’s path is the only way we can coexist.

“I hope this is the last time I see you,” Olivia said. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Liv, I-”

“Please leave, Mrs. Carlton. There’s nothing more to say between us. We simply have different principles.”

Olivia wasn’t mad. Instead, she treated Chloe in the coldest way possible.

Seeing that Olivia refused to speak any further, Chloe could only sigh. She placed the gift she brought Olivia on the dining table. Then, she left.

The gift box contained a teddy phone watch.

It was no use to Olivia now. But more than a decade ago, she made a promise with her mother. If she got first place in the finals, her mother had to buy her the popular teddy phone watch.

On the day the results were released, her mother left with another man.

Olivia looked at the teddy phone watch from more than ten years ago. She had complicated feelings in her heart.

She charged the watch, then wore it on her slender wrist.

That night, she felt like a satisfied child. She kept caressing the watch as she slowly fell asleep

The sun rose, and it was a new day again.

She had to go to the hospital early in the morning for various examinations.

Olivia looked at the sun shining brightly outside and cheered herself up.

She was determined to get better.

After gathering her stuff, she was about to go out when a familiar number flashed on the screen of her phone. Olivia paused. The contact name read “Ryan Woods”.
