Upstairs, Amber handed Tyler the medicine, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she said, “Right now, I'm probably
the only one who can cup with a solution for you. As for your mom, humph.”
Tyler frowned, looking down at the bowl of medicine. “Was that car accident really her doing?”
“She” was Olivia, and at this moment, Tyler's voice was devoid of emotion.
Amber scoffed. “Even Chris hasn't cto see her. Can't you see that by now?”
Tyler's breathing quickened as memories flooded back. His mind flashed to when Chris had passed by his door,
full of intensity and an intimidating presence. He had never seen Chris like this when facing Olivia.
Back then, Tyler had sensed that something was off. Chris used to visit Olivia almost every day, but now it had
been over three days without a single show-up from him.
As Tyler stayed silent, Amber urged, “Tyler, you guys are just clueless. Hurry up and drink it. My son is counting
on you to support him.”
“You're treatinglike a tool?” Tyler snapped.
“What else? You think | would love someone this oblivious?” Amber sneered. E Besides money, there was nothing
about Tyler she wanted.

Tyler's breathing quickened as he shot her a fierce glare.
Amber glanced at her freshly manicured nails and remarked, “Your Hart family is seriously messed up.”
“Shut up,” Tyler muttered, his irritation flaring.
“Shut up? Everyone's tellingto shut up, but why doesn’t anyone say something useful?” Amber retorted.
She then sneered silently, ‘You guys managed to piss off everyone in Long Harbor. Even Stephanie is now against
you, and yet here you are, still running your mouth.’

In another room, Olivia was surprised to see Catlin return with a face full of bruises. “Mom, what happened to
you?”
Catlin trembled. “Olivia-"
Olivia anxiously interjected before Catlin could finish speaking. “Did Stefi say anything? Will she lend you the
money?”
She was truly out of options. The medicine was extremely expensive, and now the Hart family was nearly
bankrupt. The only person who might have that kind of money was Stephanie. As the Lucano family’s golden
child, she definitely had cash.
While Olivia felt envious of Stephanie’s luck, she still hoped that Stephanie would be able to help her out.
“There's no way she’d lend us money.” Catlin’s face darkened. She had already anticipated this outcbefore
she even went, and now it felt like a cruel confirmation.
Recently, she had tried borrowing from all the social circles she used to be part of, but as soon as they heard it
was her calling, they hung up on her-borrowing money was impossible.
Catlin never imagined it would be so hard to meet her own daughter. “That's my flesh and blood. How could they
stopfrom seeing her?’ she thought.

Olivia almost couldn’t hide her irritation when she knew Catlin had failed to borrow any money. “This useless old
woman couldn't even get a loan from her own daughter!
Despite feeling extremely dissatisfied, Olivia put on a pitiful face and said, “So what am | supposed to do? Just
wait to die? Allison said that based on my current health, | should start taking that medicine within a week.
A week was the most critical time. Now, Olivia felt so weak that even her voice lacked energy. She really didn’t
know if she could get through this.
Catlin said, “But we can’t ask Stephanie to lend us money, you know...” She trailed off, struggling to say the
following words.
She regretted how she had treated Stephanie before; if she hadn't acted that way, they wouldn't be in this
difficult situation now. She felt like a fool to go to Stephanie today for money-how could Stephanie possibly lend
them anything?
Suddenly, Catlin remembered something and turned to Olivia. “Level with me. Did you ever falsely accuse

As Catlin brought up the accident, memories of Chris leaving that day flooded back.
Guilt flickered in Olivia's eyes. “It wasn’t me; | didn’t do it,” she insisted.
“Then why did Chris leave like that before? And why hasn't he cto see you these days?” Catlin pressed.
Also, she realized she should call Chris. However, just thinking of Grace's smug face made her hesitate. But
saving Olivia was more important right now. Catlin quickly took out her phone and called Chris.
Seeing Catlin about to call Chris, Olivia immediately panicked. “Mom, why are you calling Chris?”
“Besides Chris, who else can cup with so much money instantly to save you?” Catlin asked.
‘Will Chris still help me?‘ Olivia fell silent, finding it hard to breathe. She had been trying to reach him for days,
but he hadn’t answered any of her calls.
‘He doesn’t wantanymore,’ she thought, despair creeping in. ‘He knows how sick | am, yet he still doesn’t
answer my calls. Isn't that like abandoning me?’
Near the end of the ring, Chris answered the call. “Hello,” he said, his deep voice cold, completely devoid of the
respect and politeness he once had.
“Olivia is really sick right now. Why haven't you visited her?” Catlin tried to push aside the memory of Chris
leaving that day. Without waiting for him to respond, she continued, “We've found the medicine for Olivia's
illness.”
