Olivia didn't pay the retching any mind. But in the following days, she started to gag at the sight of the oil glistening on the food. Then, the retching became actual vomiting, and she lost her cool. She hadn't taken any medicine since she came back from the island. Her stomach hadn't bothered her in a long time. She thought her illness was back, but the vomiting only grew worse. It didn't seem like a stomach illness. It felt more like what happened when she got pregnant. The thought chilled her to the core. After she gave birth to the dead baby and had massive bleeding, doctors told her she damaged her body. It would be hard for her to get pregnant in the future. She never took the time to care for her health in the past two years. And she had only done it once with Ethan that day when he was sick. It happened on a safe day. She remembered what her doctor told her, so she didn't take any birth control pills. Olivia couldn't believe that she was pregnant just like th

Two red lines appeared on the white rectangle. One was dark, and the other was lighter. Olivia forgot how to breathe when she saw it. Her mind blanked out. It was real. She was pregnant. The first emotion she felt was joy. She looked in the mirror and realized she was already in tears. She had spent one and a half years trying to overcome the despair of losing her baby. But she was pregnant once again. Olivia was overjoyed but quickly realized it wasn't the best time to be pregnant. Even though she survived for half a year, the cancer cells were still in her. Those were a time bomb. Once triggered, she would be dead along with her child. But the glow of motherly love appeared on her face when she thought about the baby in her womb. She couldn't help but place her left hand on her stomach. Even though the baby hadn't formed yet and was just a tiny seed, she couldn't help but smile. Her tears fell onto the sink as she muttered, "Baby, is that you? Have you come back

Ethan didn't feel upset when Olivia ridiculed him. He only felt terrible. Olivia used to be a bright and sunny person. He was the reason she became this way. "As long as you're happy."Olivia thought he would defend Marina because she crossed the line. She didn't expect Ethan to be all smiles still. His temper was better than before. "Of course I'm happy. But you seem to bring misfortune to your wives. "Your ex-wife has a broken arm. Your wife-to-be is disabled. Both broken women, your wives." Ethan was at a loss for words. Olivia felt better when she saw his face getting flushed. "Alright, I want to rest now. Get out.""I'll leave you alone now."Ethan left the room slowly and got someone to bring Olivia supper. She had no appetite but thought about the baby in her womb. She treasured this baby even more because she had already lost a baby before. She forced herself to eat, but she underestimated the baby. The vomiting was worse than the last time. She began t

Everly sniffled, looking at Olivia in bewilderment. "The good news."Olivia slowly touched her tummy. As she lowered her gaze, her face was filled with gentleness."I'm pregnant.""What?"Everly almost choked on her saliva. "What about the bad news?""It's Ethan's child."It took a long time for Everly to digest this news. She gaped, unsure of what to say.After a long while of calming down, Everly finally spoke up. "So he chose to get married to Marina while you're pregnant? "Is there something wrong with him? Does he seriously have to get married to her?"Olivia shook her head. "He doesn't know that I'm pregnant. In reality, he doesn't even know that he slept with me.""So you did in vitro fertilization?" Everly blinked. "He's good-looking, yes, but he's not the only handsome man in this world."Why don't you broaden your horizons a little? You could've gotten a prettier baby."Olivia said, "Oh, come on. He was ill and feverish when he slept with me. He wasn't conscious

If Everly were the one saying those things, she would look like she was spouting nonsense. It would all sound like lies.But when Olivia was the one saying it, it rang truer than solid cash.She had the air of a noble and elegant young lady. She looked like she came from a respected family, which was a far cry from the talkative Everly.Everly gave her good friend a thumbs up in her heart. She had to give it to Olivia, who had painted a good image of her in front of her boss right away."You're too kind, Ms. Fordham. I heard Hilton mention about you as well. As expected, seeing is believing."Ms. Fordham, you're such a noble character. It's hard to imagine someone as brash as Hilton would be friends with you."Everly glared at him. She didn't mind if he praised Olivia, but she would have none of his insults.Walking up to Olivia, the man extended his hand. "My name is Henry Synder. Nice to meet you."He had extended his right hand. Olivia glanced at him, feeling a little trou
