Avery told Olivia all he had been through all these years.


    Back then, his kidney condition was already very serious, but he was unable to find a suitable donor.


    He was on the brink of death a few times.


    Then, he chanced upon a suitable kidney and had the transnt.


    But it didn''tst.


    His body started to reject the kidney.His life hadn''t been easy.He had been hanging by a thread and


    had no option but to seek out Louis.His rtionship with Louis was purely transactional.He wasn''t like


    Olivia, who was Louis’ student.


    “Mr.Fordham, can I take your pulse real quick?"


    "Sure, go ahead."


    Avery looked at Olivia''s steadfast gaze.She was no longer the sickly young woman of the past.She had


    already grown into a magnificent person.She must be very skilled to earn Louis’ approval.


    He thought about how desperate she was back then.


    She told him she didn''t have a future anymore and wanted to give him her kidney.


    Avery asked her before what she wanted to do if she survived.


    She said she liked studying medicine but made the wrong choice.


    If she could, she wanted to join Peace''s Embrace.


    She had heard that there were a lot of exceptional doctors in the organization, and she wanted to learn


    from them.


    In the end, she didn''t get to join but still managed to be an incredible doctor.


    Olivia felt Avery''s pulse and frowned.


    Although he managed to survive six months, his limation to the procedure wasn''t as smooth as


    hers.


    That was why his condition wasn''t good.


    He was still barely hanging on.


    "Mr.Fordham...you..."


    Avery saw how hesitant she was.


    He smiled gently and patted her on the head.


    He was like a kind elder brother without a hint of lust in his eyes.


    “I know how I am doing.I''m just happy to see you again.Also, I''m happy to see how much you''ve


    grown.You''re no longer the crybaby you used to be."


    The two of them didn''t really know each other that well, but the joy in his eyes was apparent.


    He was like an uncle that had seen her grow up.


    He looked genuinely proud of her.


    "l..."


    Olivia felt like there was a lump in her throat.


    She felt a little uneasy when she met his gaze.


    But she didn''t understand why she would have suchplicated emotions.


    Maybe it was just herpassion for a patient.


    He did help her out before.


    “Don''t overthink it, Olivia.I just feel like you look a little like my sister.We even share the samest


    name.I feel like our meeting was fated."


    Avery had two sisters.


    One died overseas, and Olivia had the pleasure of meeting the other.


    She was an elegant youngdy.


    The two of them did share some simrities.


    “Yeah, I know.I just feel guilty.If only I had given you my kidney, you would''ve..."


    “Please don''t think of it like that.This is just how it''s meant to be."


    Avery withdrew his hand.


    He looked relieved.


    “After being ravaged by an illness for so long, I''ve thought things through.I''m not ready to let go of life


    even though this world is imperfect.


    “I still have my family.Even if I have to fight for every breath I take, I still want to live for one more day,


    one more hour, or even one more second.


    “It''s a good thing you didn''t give me your kidney.Or else you wouldn''t have survived the procedure."


    Avery was such a nice person, but it seemed like misfortune loved thepany of those in distress.


    Olivia felt horrible.
