Avery didn't want to take Olivia's kidney if it was possible. The strange thing was that Avery had spent a lot of money and connections in the past few years to find a suitable kidney, but to no avail. He had already lost hope, but then Olivia turned out to be a match. His kidney failure was in its late stages. He survived off dialysis, but if his condition worsened, he would die. That was why Avery could not afford to turn down a healthy kidney. He was the eldest son of the family. He had to be responsible for the future of the family. The only choice he had was to go through with the transplant.Avery felt terrible when he saw Olivia's pale face. "Olivia, I won't hold it against you if you don't want to do it anymore. I can still look for another kidney."Olivia shook her head and said, "Mr. Avery, I am prepared to go through with it."She knew she couldn't impose on Avery any longer. They weren't even relatives. The only thing she had that could be of use to Avery w

Ethan's eyes were filled with guilt. He was aware that Olivia hated him with all her might. But he had already made his choice. He could only stick with it until the end. "Liv, I'm sorry."Ethan forcefully took Olivia away. Olivia couldn't do anything about her situation. He brought her back to the Manor of Roses, the place that he once built to win her favor. The rose garden has grown denser since Olivia came two years ago. The roses were swaying in the evening breeze. "Liv, you can live here with your father from now on. I've gathered a medical team for him. He'll recover soon enough."Olivia felt anxious when Ethan mentioned Jeff. "Do whatever you want to do, Ethan. But don't hurt my father, please. He just regained consciousness. I have nothing else except my father."Ethan touched her cheeks gently. "Liv, I swear I'll never hurt you or your father anymore. Give me a chance to take care of the both of you."Olivia slapped his hand away and said in an outburst, "But

Ethan wrapped his hands around her tightly when faced with her hatred. "Liv, let's get remarried, okay?""Remarried? Why would I marry you again? I can't even stand the sight of you."Olivia thought he was mad to make such a request. "Or do you not want Marina now that she's crippled? You scum."Ethan frowned and said, "It's not like that. My hands are tied regarding Marina. She's actually …"He didn't want to keep the secret from Olivia anymore. Their relationship was already strained as is. He didn't want to lose her, so he tried to tell her the truth. Before he could finish his sentence, a servant's voice came from outside the room, "Mr. Carlton Senior is here, Mr. Miller."Ethan had no choice but to let Olivia go. "Rest first, Olivia."Olivia gritted her teeth as she watched Ethan leave. She knew she had missed the chance to escape with Jeff last time. She wouldn't get another opportunity to do so too soon. Jeff needed to stay. He required the professional care of

News of the wedding between Ethan and Marina spread like wildfire. "Have you heard? Mr. Miller is marrying Marina Carlton this month. It's for real this time. I heard that the hotel has already been booked.""What about Ms. Fordham? I thought he cared about her. He has been staying by her side all this time.""Don't tell anyone, but Ms. Fordham is Mr. Miller's ex-wife. I thought they were getting back together. They divorced because of Ms. Carlton back then. "I guess true love triumphs over an old flame. Mr. Miller is willing to marry Marina despite her grave injuries. It has to be true love.""What would happen to Ms. Fordham after Mr. Miller marries Ms. Carlton? Wouldn't she be a mistress then?"The servants were chattering and noticed Olivia standing nearby. Their faces paled. "M-Ms. Fordham."Olivia's expression was calm. She stared at them coldly and said, "Gossip all you want, but do it where no one can hear you. "I won't let you off easily if this reaches my father'

Ethan smiled sheepishly and said, "Dad, I did something that upset her. But don't worry, I'll be sure to get her forgiveness.""Good man. I knew you still loved her."Ethan's attitude reassured Jeff. "It's hard to meet someone you love who loves you back. "You and Olivia are lucky to have found each other. Do not squander it.""I know that, dad. I'll never let her down."Jeff smiled gently, saying, "You don't have to trouble yourself by massaging my legs. "You're the CEO of a huge company. People will make fun of you if they see you doing this.""I'm just helping out my father-in-law. There's nothing wrong with that. Just focus on getting better, dad. Leave the rest to me. "If you don't like the rose, I can get someone to plant some orchids. I'll take you for a walk after your legs get better.""Okay. I'm happy to know that's what you think."It was already 10:00 pm when Ethan left Jeff's room. The light in Olivia's room was still on. She was reading a medical book on th
