Chapter 119
His description jolted Olivia’s memory.
She had met many people with weird habits. One of Ethan’s friends was a health nut. While everyone else drank Absinthe on ice, he would be drinking detox blends in his cold cup.
When other people were having fun with pretty ladies, he would be wearing an eye mask and having a footbath. He would also mutter, “If you don’t take care of your health now, you’ll be suffering from illnesses when you get older.”
Colin was the weirdest person she knew other than that health nut.
He was morbidly afraid of furry animals with sharp teeth.
He used to follow Micheal to Jeff’s birthday parties. But he would always be chased up a tree by Olivia’s cat, Snowball.
A group of children would laugh at him from below.
Only Olivia would help him by grabbing Snowball.

“Oh, it’s you. Are you still afraid of cats?” The memory of that incident brought a smile to Olivia’s face.
“I adopted a few cats at hto overcmy fear. I’m over that now.
“Anyway, is Snowball still doing well?”
Her expression darkened. Snowball was a 13–year–old cat.
Olivia was pregnant when the Fordhams went bankrupt. Then Jeff had a car accident.
When she went to get Snowball, she was nowhere to be found.
“She’s no longer here. Maybe she beca stray, or she could be dead.”
She had wanted to bring Snowball with her when she got married to Ethan, but he didn’t like furry little animals. So she didn’t bring it up.
Colin saw her disappointed expression and said, “I picked up a white cat the year before. She looked quite old. I don’t know if she’s your Snowball, though.”
Emotions sparked on Olivia’s face. “Do you have any pictures?”
“Yeah.”
Colin quickly found the picture on his phone.
In the picture, a white cat was lying down under a red plum tree. Her blue eyes were looking at the plum blossoms.
Olivia was excited. Snowball had a small part of her ear bitten off by a rat when she was a stray. It was her most defining feature.
“I cacross her when she was wandering on the streets. I saw that her ear looked like the cat I met in my childhood, so I took her in.
“I didn’t expect her to really be your cat. I still have plenty of videos of her. Do you want to take a look?”
Olivia sat on a round couch. Her eyes were completely focused on the videos of Snowball.
“I can see that you have taken good care of her. She is quite old now, and yet she’s still so lively. Her coat is lustrous.”
Colin smiled and said, “She’s very well–behaved. She loves to stay under that tree.

Olivia stared blankly at the cat under the plum tree.
Tears were welling up in her eyes. She brushed her fingers on the cold and lifeless screen. It was as if she could feel Snowball’s soft body.
“It is my fault. I lost her.”
She lost the Fordham family, Jeff, and her unborn child. She even lost Snowball.
“Don’t worry, Olivia. She’s living a good life. I can bring her over to you when you have time.”
Olivia shook her head and said, “No need. You can take care of her. I can’t really take care of her now.”
“That’s fine for me. Can I have your contact information? So that I can send you videos of Snowball next time.”
Olivia wanted to refuse, but she thought there was no need because she didn’t intend to leave this ship alive.
She didn’t have the heart to refuse. He had helped her take care of Snowball for so long, after all.
So she took her phone out and exchanged contact information with him. She even added him on Whaton the spot.
Her series of actions was especially insulting to Marina.
She tried to agitate Ethan. “Look at her. I told you she’s a restless one. How much thas it been? She has already added a man on WhatsApp.”
