Chapter 360
Olivia decided to stay at Ethan’s side for the time being. One of the reasons she did that was becausehe had the means to protect her.
The other was that Leia hated her. If she left, Leia would stop coming after her. She wanted to useEthan to lure Leia out.novelbin
She didn’t tell Ethan that Colin was Leo yet. The current situation was still unclear. She had to keep anace up her sleeve.
She was sure that Jeff was safe in Colin’s hands. She still needed him to operate on Jeff, so she didn’twant to anger him.
Olivia had slept through the day, so she didn’t feel sleepy at night. She still couldn’t get through toColin’s phone.
Olivia pretended not to know his identity and sent him several messages. Other than him, Jack wasalso nowhere to be found.
She went to get some water at 2:30 am. She saw that the lights were still on in Ethan’s study. Itseemed that he wasn’t sleeping either.
In the past, she would prepare some late-night snacks for him so that he wouldn’t have to work on anempty stomach.
But now, she just drank her water and returned to her room. She treated him like a stranger.
The following day, Olivia went to the hospital early in the morning while escorted by bodyguards.
Olivia promised Chloe that she would visit her frequently. Other than seeing Chloe, Olivia also had herreasons for going to the hospital.
Chris looked like he hadn’t gotten much rest. The fatigue was apparent on his face. She greeted himsoftly, “Hi, Mr. Carlton.”
Chris came back to his senses and looked at her. He tried to perk himself up.
“You’re here, Olivia. Come talk with Chloe for a bit. That’ll improve her mood.”
“Sure, Mr. Carlton. By the way, how’s the investigation into the postnatal care center going?”
Sighing, Chris said slowly, “It’s not going too well. The care center no longer exists.”
“It no longer exists? Even if the owner of the business closed it down, there should be records, right?”

Chris shook his head, saying, “It’s more complicated than that. The technology 20 years ago was lessadvanced. Even the medical records were handwritten. There are no digital copies.
“There was a fire at the care center the same year you were born. All the records were
destroyed. Three caregivers and five babies died in the fire.
“The business owner was faced with vast sums of compensation and massive public outcry. He wasunder tremendous pressure and died a few years later.”
Olivia frowned, saying, “That’s too much of a coincidence. I think it’s not by chance but intentional.”
“Even if we know it’s someone’s doing, it’ll be hard to investigate. The people connected to the incidentare either dead or have moved away. The only leads were destroyed in the fire.”
Chris’ eyes were lifeless. If he couldn’t get any leads, Chloe’s life would be at stake. If things continuedthis way, Chloe was as good as dead.
Olivia’s origins would remain shrouded in mystery. If the incident was intentional, it was possible thatOlivia’s mother wasn’t even in the care center. Olivia could have been brought over to the center fromsomewhere else.
Olivia couldn’t figure out why someone would do this. Did the person hate her, the Fordhams, or theParkers?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she was. She wondered where her biologicalparents were and if the truth was also kept from them.
“Don’t worry, Liv. Even if we can’t find Ms. Parker’s daughter, we might still find someone withcompatible bone marrow.”
‘Donating bone marrow isn’t like donating blood but more like donating an organ. In this day and age,how many people would be willing to do that for a stranger?”
There was only exhaustion on Chris’ face. Looking at him, Olivia was reminded of Jeff.
he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, “You have to take care of yourself, Mr.Carlton. If you collapse, Ms. Parker will lose her reason to hold on.’
hris sighed as he looked at Olivia, who was so empathetic. He then thought about Marina. He ‘asspeechless and choked as he held Olivia’s hand.
If only you were my daughter.”
he door was kicked open before Olivia could say anything.
