Calista's words were the straw that broke the camel's back. Jeff was trembling, feeling like someone had pushed him from behind. He felt the blood rushing to his head, and a wave of dizziness overtook him as he staggered to remain on his feet.Calista was frightened. "Hey, what's wrong with you? Stop pretending to be sick. It still won't change anything. Where's security? Get this man out of here."Marina glared at Calista. Before she could say anything, Ethan had rushed over. He supported Jeff and said, "Dad, how are you feeling? Brent, bring Dad to the hospital now."Jeff turned to look at Ethan. His eyes turned red from anger when he saw Ethan in his wedding suit. In his anger, Jeff couldn't even utter a complete sentence. "Y-You caused the F-Fordham family to go bankrupt?"He never imagined that the son-in-law he approved of would be the one who ruined his family. Even though what happened back then was fishy, he never suspected Ethan. He just thought it was a business part

"Dad, you can't leave me. I'll be all alone if you leave me. I'll be bullied, like I was when I was young.""My poor daughter." Olivia tried her best to convince Jeff. "Dad, you still haven't seen my children. How can you leave now? I don't want to suffer through life alone. My children are already without a father, so don't let them be without a grandfather too."Jeff's expression changed a little. He looked at Olivia gently and said, "Liv, you're the one thing in the world I can't bear to leave behind." Olivia grabbed his hand and said, "So you have to stay. My children need their grandpa. Dad, I know you're tired. But please stay, for me and my children. If you leave me, I'll have no one else in this world." Jeff didn't respond. It was like he was deep in thought. Tears rolled down Olivia's eyes as she kneeled before Jeff. "I've already lost my mother. I can't lose you too, Dad. Don't you love me anymore? Please don't go, okay?"Sighing, Jeff said, "Alright, I won't leave

"You're Jeff's daughter? Then who are Liv's parents?" Ethan asked. Marina was displeased that he brought up Olivia. "How would I know? I only realized who my birth parents were shortly before my mother died." It wasn't the time to ask about Olivia's origins. Even if Jeff wasn't her biological father, he was still the person she was closest to. "If you knew he was your father, why would you treat him like that? He suffered brain damage before this."Marina said aggrievedly, "I didn't realize it was him. We had never met in person before. I had only learned the truth recently. I wanted to look for him but heard he was in a coma and had gone missing. I had only ever seen him in pictures. "He looked so different from before, so I didn't recognize him. Ethan, I didn't want to do that either. My mom is already dead because of me. I wouldn't want to harm my biological father too."Ethan didn't feel bad for Marina even as he looked at her devastated expression. "You were the one who

Although Olivia hated Ethan, she knew he was telling the truth. She needed his help for the children. It wasn't about her feelings. She just needed a safe place to give birth to her children.Olivia relocated again. This time, Ethan made sure that no one else knew about it. He wanted to be careful. The new house was by the sea. Olivia could see the ocean every time she woke up. On the other side, there was a mountain. The scenery was beautiful. It was an excellent place to rest and recover. But Olivia would no longer see Jeff working in the yard, nor would she have him to teach her woodworking. Jeff was moved to this house after his condition stabilized. He was surrounded by medical experts all day while he lay silently on the bed. His complexion had improved after a while, and his expression was calm. His eyes were closed like he was asleep. But Olivia knew that no one could save him this time. He couldn't go through another brain surgery anytime soon. It would be too risky e

The babies were having fun in Olivia's womb. She was only four months into the pregnancy, so the fetal movements weren't strong. Olivia could only vaguely feel them, unlike in the later stages of pregnancy when they would become more pronounced.Olivia touched her stomach gently, and the babies settled down. Recently, the babies had been very docile. Olivia had terrible morning sickness in the earlier stages of the pregnancy, but at the moment, she felt fine. It was probably because her babies were being considerate of her. Olivia smiled warmly when Mona mentioned her babies."I don't mind if they're boys or girls. I just want them to be healthy." Mona rested her chin on her hand. "That's true. I think I see it now. Health is the most important thing in life. It's more important than wealth or status." Olivia sighed and said, "After losing so much, I've realized that all I want is to have my family healthy and by my side.""Look at you. You've become more beautiful after you
