    Chapter 52


    At that time, a pregnant Olivia was battling a marriage that went downhill. She brushed off the situation.


    She assumed that Ethan did not inform her of the proof of graduation. It wasn’t a big deal to him.


    She smiled at Calvin, “Yeah, I received it.”


    “We haven’t heard from you in two years. Were you furthering your studies elsewhere? And I heard


    about your family’s situation.


    “Look, we are old mates from college. If you need help, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me at any


    time. I’d be honored to have you join us at the Oand Hospital.”


    In their eyes, she remained the brightest star in the sky. She recalled her miserable and fruitless life in


    thest few years and finally understood the gravity of her mistake.


    “I’m sorry. I do not have ns to do so. I shouldn’t be at today’s event. I …”


    Calista gloated. “I heard you got married. Are you a housewife, by any chance? If so, you’re really out


    of ce in this event. You wouldn’t want to disgrace the VIPs.”

    Calvin shot her a disapproving look. Since the Davieses were reliant on the Atkinses, Calista had to


    keep her manners in check. Unlike her, Calvin acted gentlemanly toward others.


    “That’s fine. We haven’t seen each other in a while anyway. Since we’re in the same industry, we might


    end up working together. I invited some medical experts to this event along with our ssmates. Olivia,


    please don’t feel that you’re out of ce.”


    He added, “Just think of it as expanding your social circle.”


    Olivia could not possibly excuse herself after Calvin attempted to keep her around. The other


    ssmates were cool with Olivia. They enthusiastically chatted with her.


    In her ssmates, she saw the good old college days when they confidently engaged in lively


    academic discussions. She stared into her hands, feeling disappointed at how she had turned so


    boring. Her marriage only brought her pain.


    From the conversations around her, she learned that the founder of the hospital would attend the event


    as well.


    “I heard that the Miller Group bid for the Oand Hospital project because the president wanted to


    make his fiancee happy.” “Mr. Miller has a reputation for being heartless. I never thought he was such a


    romantic! He even named a hospital wing after his fiancee!”


    Olivia looked shaken after learning about that, but she inquired with a sliver of hope, “Mr. Miller? Which


    one?”


    “Oh, Olivia, you can’t be that out of the loop! Ethan Miller is the only Mr. Miller in Aldenvine with pockets


    deep enough to invest billions in the hospital!”


    Nobody noticed that her face paled as she clutched the hem of her top tightly. She had once vowed to


    build a mega–hospital to benefit more patients.


    Ethan took her idea and put it into action without her knowing, but one thing especially stood out to


    her–he named a hospital wing after Marina.


    How ironic was that!


    She stood up in a hurry and identally tugged on the tablecloth. The decanted red wine toppled over


    and spilled all over her outfit, but she had no time to clean the mess.


    “Calvin, something came up. I have to go now.”


    Calvin immediately helped to wipe the stains with some napkins. At that moment, the door flung open.
