Female Novel
chapter 12 From now on, I will protect you
"After Olivia returned to the country, she probably won't have time to see you, right? She hangsaround with a bunch of messy men every day, and she might even forget her own mother's name.Aunt, not to discourage you, but if she misses out on Young Master Si, she might have to settle forjust anyone in the future."
Emma Xia said sarcastically, adding, "With her bad reputation, she wouldn't even be accepted intothe Si family, let alone find someone from an ordinary family. Besides, if she marries into the Sifamily, there will be some pressure and constraints, and she might become more disciplined. Myparents are really concerned."
"Pff..."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Mia Zhao joined Emma Xia in mocking Olivia, which infuriated Sofia Yue, causing her to have asevere coughing fit.novelbin
"You, get out of here. My daughter, no, you can't defame her."
Sofia Yue turned red from coughing and couldn't speak properly.
Mia Zhao pretended to be concerned, "Xue sister, please don't stress yourself. Otherwise, Olivia willbe left without anyone to care for her. You don't understand our current situation. The company youfounded is facing a huge crisis, and if Olivia doesn't marry into the Si family, the company might gobankrupt. Plus, all your medical expenses are currently covered by the Xia family. If the Xia familygoes bankrupt, your medical expenses will stop..."
Emma Xia chuckled while covering her mouth, "So, Xue Aunt, you need to take care of your health."
"You... you..."
"Going too far! Cough, cough, cough..."
Sofia Yue was so upset that she couldn't stop coughing, and her eyes were filled with hatred, butshe couldn't do anything to the two of them.
"I'll give you one more chance. Do you agree to persuade Olivia to marry Tim Si or not?" Emma Xiahad lost her patience and grabbed Sofia Yue's hair while questioning her fiercely as she continuedto cough violently.
"Smack!"
Olivia didn't know how she had managed to wait outside the door for so long, but she kicked openthe door to the ward, grabbed Emma Xia's hand, and twisted it forcefully.
"Ah!" Emma Xia instinctively let go of Sofia Yue and screamed in pain.
Olivia grabbed Emma Xia's hand and twisted it, pushing her over to Mia Zhao. Her face turned dark,and she was surrounded by anger. "I warn you, if you come at me again, and dare to touch mymom, I'll cripple you both!"
Mia Zhao was already terrified by Olivia's overwhelming presence, and Emma Xia had forgotteneven to scream. Both of them stared at Olivia like she was a monster, their faces pale.
Olivia turned to support the coughing Sofia Yue, comforting her softly, "Mom, it's alright. I'm back,and nobody will dare to bully you anymore."
Sofia Yue wanted to say something but got even more choked up when she saw Olivia, and hercoughing became more severe.
Olivia frowned, took a pill from her pocket, and put it in Sofia Yue's mouth. When she saw her stopcoughing after swallowing it, she sighed in relief.
"Mom..." Olivia wanted to say something, but Sofia Yue hugged her.
"Olivia, my baby," Sofia Yue said with a happy expression.
Olivia trembled slightly and patted her back gently. "Mom, I'm sorry for not coming back to see youall these years."
Sofia Yue kept shaking her head, "Silly girl, Mom knows you've been working hard studying abroad.That's enough."
She raised her hand and gently stroked Olivia's fair, tender face, with a hint of sigh in her eyes."Three years have passed, my baby has really grown up."
Olivia held her hand and said, "In the future, I'll protect you."
"Okay, okay..." Sofia Yue smiled gently, her eyes full of light as she looked at Olivia.
"Mom, wuu... Mom, my hand, my hand is broken, it hurts so much, my hand..."
The brief moment of warmth was interrupted by Emma Xia's cries in the background.
Mia Zhao turned pale with fear and pointed at Olivia, shouting, "Olivia, how dare you break yoursister's hand! You, you..."
Olivia turned her head and saw Emma Xia holding up her hand, which was broken in the middleand couldn't be lifted, and she smirked lazily, "She can't take care of her own hand, so I helped herdisassemble it. Any problems?"
"Olivia, you heartless, venomous woman! You deserve to be abandoned by Steven. If you can't winagainst me, you resort to violence. What kind of hero are you?" Emma Xia screamed and couldn'thelp but howl in pain, "It hurts, wuu, Mom, she did it on purpose."
"I was never a hero, but you, your mother is a homewrecker, and you proudly flaunt it. Your audacityis unmatched."
"My mom is not a homewrecker, and I'm not either!" Emma Xia shouted, "Dad always loved mymom, and it was your mom who snatched my dad away! Steven and I are deeply in love; if it weren'tfor your interference, he wouldn't even spare you a glance."
"Deeply in love?" Olivia chuckled. "What if he knew you had an abortion for someone else? Wouldhe still be deeply in love with you?"
Emma Xia's face turned pale, and her fingers trembled as she pointed at Olivia. "You're makingbaseless accusations. Olivia, I'll tell you, this is slander. Failing to get Steven, you're destroying myreputation. You have a wicked heart..."
"Xue sister, look at Olivia's condition. Who will dare to marry her in the future? Steven has alreadybeen scared off by her. Are you sure you want her to miss Young Master Si?" Mia Zhao'sexpression darkened as she changed the subject.
Sofia Yue's face changed, and she gritted her teeth. "My daughter's affairs are none of yourconcern. Get out of here."
Mia Zhao, supporting Emma Xia, smiled, "I'll be blunt. If she doesn't marry, your high medical billswon't make it through tomorrow. Think about it."
"If you don't leave, I'll tear your mouths off!" Olivia narrowed her eyes, emitting a sinister aura.
Mia Zhao took two steps back, still supporting the injured Emma Xia. "Olivia, you'll come begging usin tears!"
Finally, they chased the two out of the room, and Olivia closed the door. She took out the snacksshe had bought and picked up a piece to offer to Sofia Yue, saying, "Mom, try the flower cake I
specially bought for you. You used to love it so much."
Sofia Yue pushed away Olivia's hand and said, "Olivia, honestly tell Mom, what are these pillsyou've given me just now?"
Olivia poured a glass of water and placed it next to Sofia Yue, coaxing her like a child, "Drink somewater first, and have a few more pieces of these snacks. We can chat slowly, okay?"
"You..."
"Mommy..." Olivia hugged Sofia Yue's arm and started acting cute. "Is it okay?"
Sofia Yue:...
She obediently took a few sips of water and had a couple more pieces of the snack.
The familiar sweet taste gradually melted in her mouth, and Sofia Yue's eyes, which had turned red,became a little misty.
"You've been abroad for three years, and I haven't had this taste in all that time," Sofia Yue said witha light sigh. "Back then, your father used to line up for hours after work to buy it for me."
Yes...
Back when Mom wasn't sick, she hadn't gone abroad, and Mia Zhao and her daughter hadn't shownup; they were a happy family.
But now...
"I never thought..."
"Mommy..." Olivia wanted to say something comforting to Sofia Yue, but she saw Sofia Yue shakingher head.
"Never mind, let's not talk about those unpleasant people. We haven't seen each other for manyyears, so we should talk about happy things." Sofia Yue's gaze settled on Olivia. "So, should you tellme what those pills you just gave me are?"
