Chapter 367
Chloe was surprised to see Marina, but her surprise quickly turned into happiness. She had always feltan inexplicable feeling of closeness with her.
“It’s so nice to see you, Marina. Have a seat.”
Marina thought Chloe would hate her after what she did last time. But she didn’t see a speck of angeror blame on Chloe’s face. All she saw was joy.
She put down the fruit basket in her hand and said, “I … I’m here to see you. I didn’t mean to do thatlast time. I was in a bad mood because I lost a game. That’s why…”
“It’s fine. I was never mad at you. But you shouldn’t hold a grudge against your father. He only slappedyou because he lost control. I’ve already given him a talking to.”
Chloe could see the guilt in Marina’s eyes. That was an emotion she had never seen in Marina before.
Marina didn’t speak. She only stared at Chloe’s face, which had slimmed down a lot.
Chloe was undoubtedly a beautiful woman. Marina could still remember the first time they met. Backthen, Chloe was youthful and pretty. She was completely different compared to this frail woman on thebed. Even her head of glossy black hair was graying.
“Do you not resent me for what I did?” It wasn’t the first time Marina abused Chloe. She had thoughtthat Chloe was just pretending to put up with her. But who could pretend for over ten years?
Chloe shook her head and said, “Why would I resent you? You’re still just a kid.”
Holding Marina’s hand, Chloe said, “Marina, I know you’ve never liked me. I’ve tried to change yourattitude toward me all these years. But I’ve failed, and now I don’t have long to live. Can you dosomething for me?”
Marina looked like she had a lot on her mind. She said in a listless voice, “What is it?”
“I know your father will be sad when I’m gone. You’re his only daughter. You have to stay by his sideand comfort him. Don’t make him angry anymore.novelbin
“I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but I’ve treated you like my birth daughter all these years. I had hopedto see you get married, but I don’t think I’ll be able to do that. I’ve prepared presents for when you andLiv get married. I’ve given Liv her share.
“This is for you and the kids. It’s not much, but it’s a token of my affection.”
Marina’s expression grew more upset when she looked at the card on her palm.

“There’s one last thing. Although I don’t know too much about your grudge with Liv, I’ve
heard about it. Liv doesn’t owe you anything. Things have already escalated to this degree, so I won’tsay who’s right or wrong.
“I just hope you can let go of the grudge and stop picking on her.”
Chloe pleaded, “I beg of you. Please drop this grudge against Liv, okay?”
In the past, Marina would have retorted. But as she looked at Chloe, it reminded her of the time Chloe’sclothes were stained with blood. Marina felt sad and couldn’t control her emotions.
She said stiffly, “I got it. You won’t die.”
“Death awaits us all. The good thing is that you’re all grown up now. I can go in peace …”
Chloe was still talking, but Marina began to feel more and more restless. Then, she abruptly ran out thedoor.
Chloe sighed sheepishly. She thought Marina ran away because she was tired of her nagging.
Marina ran out of the hospital at full speed. Her whole body was still trembling slightly after shestopped.
When her phone rang, she picked it up. “Hello?”
“Did you pull it off?”
