Chapter 79
Seventeen years?
John’s arms, which were holding Dorothy, froze. He and Olivia had only known each other for four years.
He had no idea where those seventeen years had come from.
“Heh! You’re shameless. Seventeen years? What gave you the confidence to say something like that?”
Olivia gasped. She felt empty in her heart, as though she had lost something important. It made it difficult
for her to breathe.
He had forgotten about her…
When they met again, Olivia had never mentioned anything about it because she felt it was destiny. She
thought he knew about it.
However, until today, she did not know that all of that was just her wishful thinking.
The teenager who promised to protect her 17 years ago was gone!
Olivia sneered and backed away. Finally, she fell on the bed. “John, you’ve forgotten your promise. You
promised me twice that you would protect me for the rest of your life, and you’ve broken your promise

John felt heartbroken, but he could not tell why.
However, he was certain he could not remember a thing.
Then, his phone rang.
“Sir, I’ve checked, and you’re the only person who’s visited Mrs. Freeman…”
John hung up the call and glared at Olivia coldly. He let go of Dorothy and headed to the bed with his fist
clenched.
She had lied to him again and again!
John grabbed her by the hair with one hand and slapped her hard and fast with the other. Then, he threw
her on the bed like a broken doll.
“Olivia, I thought you were just unfaithful and jealous. I didn’t expect you to attempt to kill someone and
then accuse Dorothy of murder. I’m disappointed in you!”
Olivia’s face burned in pain. She had lost all hope.
Her mind flashed back to the past, especially to a scene of the boy who had brought light into her world.
seventeen years earlier.
After everything, this scene was only like a dream now. Olivia was awake now, and she felt her heart.
shattering into pieces, suffocating her.
She clutched her chest, bit her lips, and closed her eyes. “I’m disappointed, too, Johnny.”
Dorothy was afraid the truth would reveal if she let them continue fighting. So, she tugged on John’s
sleeve and said, “Johnny, I feel dizzy…”
Dorothy closed her eyes and fell backward as soon as he said that.
John had no choice but to turn around, catch her, pick her up, and walk out of the ward. When he
reached the door, he looked back at Olivia coldly and left without saying anything.
Tears streamed down Olivia’s face as she lay on the bed. She did not even care about the blood on her
lips and the wounds on her hands.
John’s harsh words and how he said he was disappointed in her lingered in her ears.
‘Shouldn’t I be the disappointed one?”
She had done none of the four things he was accusing her of. She had not been unfaithful, she had not

bear everything he was sending her way even though she did not deserve it.
Now, she had failed to take revenge on her parents and Uncle Wallace. She still could not find her
brother, and she was now being branded as a murderer.
What could she do about it?
After a long time, someone walked in from outside. When she saw Olivia covered in blood again, she
thought something had happened to her, so she quickly called out Olivia’s name. “Ms. Larson? Ms.
Larson?”
Olivia spoke just as the woman was about to call the doctor. “I’m fine.”
Seeing that Olivia was alright, the girl leaned over to help her. “Ms. Larson, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for
being. a busybody and causing…”
Olivia opened her eyes and looked into the girl’s pure eyes. She pursed her lips and said, “It’s you.”
“Yes, Ms. Larson, do you remember me? I was the nurse who took care of you last time.”
“Sorry that you lost your job.”
The girl shook her head. “It doesn’t matter. I can find another job. Ms. Larson, it’s unfair. You do indeed

“I was so angry. That Dorothy Ellis woman bribed everyone here.”
