Chapter 290
Olivia suddenly raised her head, staring right at Colin’s eyes. “Really, Colin? Are you able to find Leo?”
She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. After all, not even Ethan could find Leo.
Colin didn’t seem like he was lying. A me of hope was ignited in her.
“Yeah. I heard that Leo went into hiding after offending someone abroad.
“No one could find him, but I happened to have the connections to do so,” Colin said.
Olivia thought, “It’s no wonder that Ethan couldn’t find him. He wasn’t lying.”
She said, “What about my father’s surgery-”

“Olivia, you’re not safe as long as you’re in the country. If that person can drive you to the edge once, it
can happen twice.
“Even Mr. Fordham’s life is in danger. I can send both of you abroad together.
“You can stay out of harm’s way while he receives treatment,” he suggested.
She frowned. It was something she had never thought of before.
Rather, it was something she didn’t dare to think about.
Ethan’s shadow was always looming over her, fettering her with restraints.
She unconsciously drew an invisible boundary, trapping herself.
Colin continued, “Olivia, a lot of my friends practice medicine. They are living abroad.
“They’re the top specialists in the medical field.
“I can’t guarantee a 100 percent sess rate for your treatment.
“But your possibility to survive the cancer will surely be higher than what the doctors in the country can
offer you.”
He licked his lips and added, “I can see that you’ve gotten over your ex-husband.
“What is there that’s holding you back? You can start life anew abroad.”
She muttered in disbelief, “Can I do that?”
Colin didn’t let up with his persuasions. “Of course, you can. Who are you?”
He grabbed her shoulders. “You’re Olivia Fordham, a talented medical student! You once abandoned
your bright future for
that man.
“Don’t you wanna restart the life which you once abandoned before?”
Her eyes were showing a ray of hope.
He continued to spur her on, “The Olivia Fordham I know isn’t a woman that’s abandoned by a man.
“She’s a strong woman who has the willpower to start anew even after a downfall.
“Olivia, not even death can stop you. Do you fear the idea of starting a new life?”
She closed her eyes. Her eyelids were trembling. “He won’t allow me to leave Aldenvine.
“If I fail to leave, I will have to pay a heavy price for it. I won’t be able to handle it.”
She released Snowball and covered her face. “I’m no longer the Olivia Fordham who’s free to wander
around the world.
“Colin, what you’re seeing right now is a scarred and fettered bird in a cage.”
“Olivia, if you’re a caged bird, I’m the person that can break the shackles for you.
“I will make all the necessary arrangements for you and Mr. Fordham. Before Ethan knows it, our ne
will alreadynd in a foreignnd.”
“I…” Olivia showed hesitation.
“Even if they have a guess that you’re alive, they don’t know your whereabouts, let alone the fact that
you’re abroad.
“Olivia, we can travel by water. It’s inconvenient for Leo to show himself in Aldenvine, but he cane
to the High Seas.
“Mr. Fordham can undergo surgery on a deserted ind. And you can receive treatment and focus on
your recovery there, too.
“Ethan won’t be able to find you there forever.”
At that point, Colin’s emotions became forceful.
He grabbed Olivia’s arm. “You won’t be able to see him forever, so what is there to be afraid of?
“If Mr. Fordham is the only person you’re worried about, I can make sure that he doesn’t leave your
sight..
“No one can ever threaten you. And you no longer need to be afraid of getting kidnapped. You can get
stic surgery and start life anew!”
Olivia was so tempted by his enticing offer that she couldn’t retort his remarks.
“Colin, I can leave the country with you, but there’s something I have to do.”
“What is it? Tell me.”
Resentment sparked in her eyes. “I don’t want my father to bear the sin forever for something he hadn’t
done. As long as I’m alive, I will find out who the mastermind is!”
