Chapter 9

it.John most probably had something to do with the Larson family’s bankruptcy. The day Johnlocked her up, he also explicitly mentioned her brother, so she believed he had her brother too.When John was silent, Olivia grabbed his sleeve and cried as she begged. “Johnny, will youlet my brother go? He’s only 13…”John glanced at her in disgust, lifted his leg, and kicked her away. He said coldly, “Olivia,you’ll never see him again if you do that one more time!”With that, Olivia went quiet instantly as she tried to get up from the floor.She had nothing left. She could not lose her brother too!She crouched on the ground. Her dress was drenched red with blood as her wound was torn open by the kick to her stomach.However, she did not feel any pain in her body. She just blankly stared at John’s back as he left with Dorothy in his arms.Love was like fireworks: only beautiful for a while, but it still created a memory for a lifetime.One could lose a lifetime of happiness for a moment of joy.Her heart hurt as if a million needles were pricking her, leaving her breathless.She had never linked John to the Larson family’s bankruptcy throughout these two years.She always thought that even if he had another woman or even if he hated her, he wouldnever…She remained seated on the ground with blank eyes until Zac came.Zac wanted to stay out of it, but he felt sorry for Olivia and decided to buy her dinner when he thought about how she had begged him to keep her illness a secret.However, he had only just turned the corner when he saw Olivia sitting in a pool of blood, hereyes blank.Zac quickly put the meal aside, picked her up off the floor, carried her back to the room, andcalled the doctor.When the doctor arrived, they looked at the drooping flesh on her right hand and could not help but frown and scold Zac. “Did you not look after her?

It was as if she did not even feel the wound.The back of her head had been hit by the corner of the bedside table. It was a serious injury, and it was bleeding. The doctor covered it with a simple bandage. “Ms. Larson, you’re still young. Take care of your health, or you won’t even have six monthsleft to live.”Olivia did not move until she heard that.She looked up at the doctor. “How long do I have? Do I have three months?”The doctor looked at her and could not help shaking his head. “If you eat one more bar of soap, even three months is a stretch.”‘Not even three months?‘But I can’t die yet!’How could she die without finding her brother and finding out the truth about the Larsonfamily’s bankruptcy?“I’ll be good. I can’t die yet.”There was a certain determination in Olivia’s eyes as she spoke.
