Chapter 1355


    Olivia would never forget nor forgive what Marina did.


    Setting aside the matters concerning Ethan, Marina had taken away Olivia''s parents—especially Jeff.


    Back then, Olivia had tried so hard to finally get Jeff to survive, but because of Marina, he passed


    away.


    Evil people like Marina didn''t deserve to stay alive.


    "Mom." A girl''s voice rang out in Olivia''s ears.


    Turning around, Olivia saw a girl who looked a lot like Marina.


    She was considerably shorter than Connor.


    The girl was Erina, the only surviving child Marina had with Kurt.


    Erina had probably just returned from school.


    She was still wearing the uniform of the private academy she was attending.


    If Olivia hadn''t suddenly seen Erina''s face, she would''ve forgotten that Erina existed.


    When Marina saw Erina, her eyes lit up.


    "My dear child,e here and let me have a look at you." Erina''s eyes were very much like Jack''s.


    Olivia could see shadows of Marina and Kurt in her.


    When Olivia thought about it, she realized that Erina''s and Connor''s birthday was around the corner.


    They would be nine years old this year.


    Because of Jack, Olivia didn''t harbor any ill intentions toward Erina.


    "Who is this?" Erina looked at Olivia.


    Marina sounded enthusiastic as she said, "Erina, this is the famous doctor Vanessa.


    My leg has gotten better these days, and it''s all because of her.


    "When she performs surgery on me, I''ll be able to stand again." Erina said, "Thank you, Ms.


    Vanessa.


    I want to learn medicine in the future.


    Can I learn from you?" Olivia remembered that when they were young, Erina and Connor lived


    together.


    Connor was an independent child, and he developed better than Erina.


    When Connor was able to run around, Erina still had to hold onto the couch for support to walk.


    Perhaps because of the blood rtions between Erina and Marina, Erina wasn''t too close to Olivia in


    the beginning.


    Erina was a quiet girl when she was young, and now, she was quite reserved as well.


    Her personality waspletely different from Marina''s arrogance.


    "Sure." Olivia''s mind was filled with thoughts of Jack.


    He still couldn''t get over Kurt''s death, and since Erina was Kurt''s only bloodline, Jack probably wanted


    to meet Erina.


    "Here''s my number.


    In the future, you can ask me about anything at all.


    At least in the path of medicine, I can provide some guidance." "Thank you, Ms.


    Vanessa." "Come, Erina.


    You just came back, so you must be hungry right now.


    What would you like to eat? I''ll get the chefs to prepare it for you." Fabian''s voice rang out behind them.


    When Marina and Erina saw him, they had the same expression on their faces.


    They seemed like they both feared and hated him.


    Erina subconsciously hid behind Olivia, saying, "Ms.


    Vanessa, I..." Olivia was aware of what happened between Marina and Fabian.


    By the looks of it, Erina knew as well, and that was why she was so wary of Fabian.


    "We haven''t met in so long.


    Erina doesn''t warm up to me anymore.

    Hi, Erina, I''m your Uncle Fabian.


    Why don''t you say hi to me too?" When Fabian said the words "Uncle Fabian", Erina felt goosebumps


    all over her body.


    But then, she nced at her mother, who was still bound to the wheelchair.


    She could only open her mouth and say, "Hi, Uncle Fabian." "Good girl." Fabian then said to Olivia,


    "Oh, Vanessa, you''re here too.


    Why don''t you stay for dinner? You can discuss the details of the surgery tomorrow." "Sure." Seeing


    how fearful Erina was, Olivia wanted to stay to figure out the truth.


    After Fabian left, Erina spoke up, "Mom, I''ll call Dad." By the looks of it, Erina still hadn''t learned about


    her background.


    Back then, Ethan wanted to protect Kurt''s bloodline, and he didn''t want the child to be born fatherless.


    So, he never revealed the truth.


    Marina had a dark look on her face.


    "Go ahead.


    But I''m sure he won''te over." In recent years, Ethan had grown cold toward her.


    He didn''t even care if she was alive.


    The only connection they had between them was Erina.


    When the call went through, everyone in the room was silent.


    Erina set the call on hands-free mode so that Marina could hear Ethan''s voice as well.


    Ethan''s low voice was tinted with tenderness.


    "What''s the matter, Erina?" "Dad, I just came home.


    Can youe over to the Carlton residence for dinner? I miss you."
