Chapter 477
After a long silence, Olivia said, “I don’t believe you.”
“Why?”
She was startled by the further question. “Well, you don’t have any proof, so I don’t think I need to
believe you.”
This time, John said nothing.
He knew very well that this was the answer she had given him before.
Even after four years and a different identity, she still chose not to believe it.
“Please give me a chance to atone for what I’ve done.”
Olivia was heartbroken, and she did not know how to respond.
As Olivia, she was unwilling to forgive John.
As Phoebe, she did not want to have anything to do with this man anymore.
“Mr. Freeman, your wife has passed away. How can you atone? A dead person can’t see
what
you do for her.”
She sighed. “Besides, I don’t want to be a stand-in for the deceased. I have my own life.”
The elevator fell silent except for the sound of heavy breathing, which made the air seem

thinner.
After a long time, John suddenly asked in his hoarse voice, “Do you think it’s possible that she isn’t
dead yet?”
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat.
From the beginning to the end, she did not know whether John had identified her as Olivia.
However, she would put on an act as long as John did not bring it up.
His question now…
Before she could respond, there was a voice outside the elevator.
“Is there anyone in there?”
Without thinking, Olivia shouted. “Yes. Help us!”
“Just a moment, please. Please stand back. We’ll open the door with force now.”
“Okay.”
After a while, the firefighters sawed open the elevator door, and a light came in from
outside.
Olivia squinted her eyes and blocked the dazzling light with her hand.
Then, she saw a pair of hands reaching for her. “Miss, please hold onto me. I’ll pull you out.”
For a moment, Olivia was in a daze. She let go of John’s hand and grabbed the fireman’s
hand.
The elevator was stuck between two floors, so the exit was relatively small. It took a while for her to
climb out.
The fireman’s face and body were dusty, but those eyes were bright. “Miss, are you injured? Do you
feel any discomfort?”
Then, he shouted to the medical staff nearby. “Doctor, check her condition quickly.”
With that, Olivia was pulled onto a stretcher by the ambulance staff.
She was somewhat in a daze when everything happened. Everything before her overlapped with the
scene from twenty-one years ago.
However, when she saw the person before her, she was relieved.
She always saw John as her light and followed him.
However, she realized John was never the light.
He just happened to be there. He happened to be one of many lights. He was not the only
one.
Thinking about it, she suddenly laughed.
The paramedics checked her vital signs, thinking something was wrong, but they could find nothing
wrong.
“Miss?”

Olivia snapped out of her thought, looked at her, and smiled. “Thank you. I’m fine.”
“To be safe, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination.”
Then, she added, “You, miss, are a lucky person to have survived this earthquake.”
“There was an earthquake?”
Olivia saw John lying on a stretcher and being pushed into an ambulance as soon as she
asked that.
“How is he?”
‘Who?” The paramedic realized who she was asking about, took a look, and said, “His condition is not
too bad. His right hand is broken, and his third right rib is broken. He needs to go to the hospital for
further examination. Miss, do you want to accompany him?”
Olivia froze and shook her head. “No. 1 don’t know him that well.”
Then, she watched John being pushed into an ambulance. Their eyes met, and they both had mixed
feelings surge through them.
She bit her lip and ran over. “Wait a minute. I’ll go with the ambulance to the hospital.”
John froze for a moment and looked at her without saying anything.
Then, Olivia added calmly, “I don’t want to owe you for saving me.”
John had saved her as Phoebe three times, so she could not leave just like that.
Many years later, Olivia recalled her feelings when she said this and realized she was just making up
an excuse.
