Chapter 111
Olivia felt like she was in a long dream.
In the dream, Dad, Mom, and Uncle Wallace were still alive, and lan was a cheerful boy that loved being
by her side. Johnny, on the other hand, was wiping the chocolate off the corner of her mouth as he
lovingly said, “My hungry kitten.”
She was smiling. She could not stop smiling.
However, she suddenly tasted a hint of bitterness from the corner of her lips. Then, she realized her
cheeks were wet.
Why was she crying?
She was having a wonderful, happy time, so what was there to cry about?
At that moment, Dorothy came walking towards them, dressed in a white dress, and everyone moved to
greet her with a smiling face, except Olivia herself. She was frozen to the spot.
Before she realized it, everyone else was standing opposite her. John was looking lovingly at Dorothy,
and it was almost like she was just an extra in a play.

could not grab onto anything even as she reached out to them.
Suddenly, she sat up with a jolt on her bed, her eyes open wide and staring straight ahead.
“Dad, Mom, lan…”
At the same time, Zyla walked into the room with chicken soup in her hands. When she saw that Olivia
was awake, she rushed over to help her up.
“Lie down for now, Sis Liv. Your head…”
Before Zyla could finish, she panicked. “I’ll get the doctor! Your head is bleeding!”
Olivia grabbed her hands and said, “No need. I’m fine. We’ll see later if I need any medical intervention.”
Zyla saw how pale Olivia was, how her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and how her eyes were
swollen from crying. Thus, she did not force Olivia to tell her the truth. Zyla just sat by her bed, pulled
Olivia into her arms, and comforted her. “Sis Liv, if anything’s making you feel uncomfortable, just tell me.
I’ll listen to you.”
Olivia heard what Zyla said and bit her lips. She turned around to hug her and rested
her head on Zyla’s shoulders, but she did not say a word.
After a few minutes, she lifted up her head and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands roughly.
“Why are you here?”
“I called you, but no one answered, and since I was going to be at the hospital anyway, I decided to
investigate Dorothy. Then, I saw Mr. Freeman sending you to the emergency department. I was worried
that something might have happened to you, so I only came in after he left.”
“Where is he?”
“He left. Don’t worry. He didn’t see me.”
Olivia could tell how careful Zyla was from the way she spoke. She pursed her lips.” Zyla, I’m afraid he’ll
hurt you.”
She’s
said that only to see Zyla break into a smile. “Sis Liv, you can stop worrying about that. With Mr.
Freeman’s resources, it will be no problem for him to find me. I just hope I have a chance to help you.”
Olivia was a little confused. “Why are you being so kind to me? We’re rightly strangers to each other.”

Olivia’s heart was filled with joy as she watched Zyla smile. She forced a smile and said, “I like you a lot
as well.”
“Here, have some chicken soup. Mr. Quinton will be out of town these next few days, so if you need help,
you can call him.”
“Did he tell you all that?”
“Yeah. He knows that you’re strong-willed and don’t like seeking help, but Sis Liv, how can you win this
battle alone?”
Olivia’s eyes darkened as she thought about it.
She never expected her sweet brother to throw a vase at her just because of what Dorothy said to him.
There was a sharp pang in her heart. It was like her heart was in a tug-of-war match.
John did not stop him. It looked like he also believed what Dorothy said.
Olivia still wanted to take back the Larson’s Residence, but how could she do it now?

Suddenly, she coughed. As she covered her mouth in pain, blood gushed up from her throat, and she
could not stop it no matter how hard she tried.
Olivia opened up her palm. It was colored with blood.
