    “Have you heard? Mr. Miller is marrying Marina Carlton this month. It’s for real this time. I heard that the


    hotel has already been booked.”


    “What about Ms. Fordham? I thought he cared about her. He has been staying by her side all this time.


    “Don’t tell anyone, but Ms. Fordham is Mr. Miller’s ex-wife. I thought they were getting back together.


    They divorced because of Ms. Carlton back then.


    “I guess true love triumphs over an old me. Mr. Miller is willing to marry Marina despite her grave


    injuries. It has to be true love.”


    “What would happen to Ms. Fordham after Mr. Miller marries Ms. Carlton? Wouldn’t she be a


    mistress then?”


    The servants were chattering and noticed Olivia standing nearby. Their faces paled.


    “M-Ms. Fordham.”


    Olivia’s expression was calm. She stared at them coldly and said, “Gossip all you want, but do it where


    no one can hear you.


    “I won’t let you off easily if this reaches my father’s ears.”


    Olivia was wearing a white dress. She walked past the servants with a book in her left hand.


    “Ms. Fordham was so intimidating. Her gaze struck fear into me.


    One of the servants said, “She wasn’t like this before. She used to be very kind and treated us servants


    well.


    “Mr. Miller hurt her deeply. It’s why she became the way she is now.”


    “That’s so sad.”


    Olivia walked through the long corridor. She wasn’t surprised to hear that Ethan was marrying


    Marina.


    In the past, she would be curious as to why Ethan had to marry Marina. But she no longer cared about


    what he did.


    She just wanted the servants in the manor to keep the secret so they don’t upset Jeff.


    Jeff was basking in the flower room. He had a rug on his legs, and he looked at peace. Olivia had been


    through too much. She treasured every second of the peace that she had.


    She stayed by Jeff and read her book until he woke up.


    “Olivia.”


    Olivia closed her book and said, “Dad, you’re awake.”


    “Yeah. I heard that Ethan has restructured thepany. If you’re bored, you should run thepany.


    You don’t have to stay with me all the time. I won’t recover so soon.”


    Olivia gestured to her right arm with her lips. “Dad, don’t forget that I’m also recovering.”


    “Can you feel your hand yet?”


    “No.”


    “Ethan dropped the ball here. He should’ve taken better care of you.


    “Your hand is so important if you want to be a doctor. What would you do if it never recovers?”


    Olivia smiled. “You’ll just have to take care of me forever if it doesn’t get better.”


    Jeff scratched the tip of her nose with his finger. Olivia acted like she used to when she was with Jeff.


    “Silly child, I wouldn’t be the one to do that. You had a miscarriage thest time.


    “Now that I’m fine, you should try for kids with Ethan again while you’re still young.”


    Jeff didn’t know what happened between Ethan and Olivia. His kind words were like knives plunging


    into Olivia’s chest.


    Olivia had not let him use a smartphone since his traffic ident. He knew nothing about Marina and


    Ethan.


    “What’s wrong, Olivia? Did Ethan make you mad? Tell me, and I’ll take care of it for you.”


    Olivia almost blurted out the truth, but she held it back.


    “I’m fine, dad. You don’t have to worry about me.”


    “I watched you grow up. I know you very well. I noticed that you’ve been acting strange since I woke


    1.


    “You used to talk about Ethan all the time, but now you never bring him up. Even when he’s around,


    you don’t even look at him.


    “Olivia, you don’t have to bottle your emotions up. You still have me.”
