Chapter 402

It was an appalling spectacle. Ethan rolled Leia’s sleeve up only to see scars fully mark her arm.novelbin

Unable to believe what he was seeing, he rolled up her other sleeve as well.

To his surprise, there were not only one or two scars from cuts. There were burn marks too.

The scars look like a squirming worm. It pained him to see them covering her arms. “What happened?”

Leia quickly withdrew her arms from him. Frantically, she said, “It’s none of your business. As I said, I’ll

leave if you don’t kill me. After that, my life and death don’t concern you anymore.”

As soon as she finished, she turned and ran away without looking back.

Ethan couldn’t stop her.

Shock overwhelmed him as he wondered what kind of life she had been through all this while.

With a gloomy expression, Olivia didn’t utter a word in the room. She kept staring at her fingers in a

daze. She didn’t know what she was looking at either.

Avery said softly, “Have you finished your business? We shouldn’t stay here for too long. I’ll take you

home.”

Only then did she regain her senses. She looked like she was put in an awkward spot.

“What’s wrong?” Avery questioned.

“Mr. Avery, could you help me get Marina out of here?”

He shook his head. “You’re asking this because you want to save your mother, am I right? Even if

Marina’s bone marrow is compatible with hers, Marina has to be in good health.

“She’s barely surviving right now. Her organs aren’t functioning properly. If she donates her bone

marrow, she’ll die. You practice medicine. You should know this better than me.

“If your mother has more time, you can wait until Marina gets better. Unfortunately, your mother has

only a few days left. The best possible outcome you can gain from this is sacrificing one life for another.

Besides, it’s not guaranteed that your mother will have a full recovery after that.”

Olivia kept quiet because she was aware that Avery was right.

However, she had mixed feelings whenever she thought about the pale-faced woman in the ICU

Even though that woman had given Olivia the cold shoulder for her entire life, Olivia couldn’t watch ber

die like that “You can’t save her?”

“I can’t for now.”

She slowly relaxed her fists. Lifting her head, she revealed her expressionless face. “Okay. Let’s go.”

Ms. Rosa spent many years on this plot due to her deep resentment against Chloe and Chris. It was

obvious that she wanted Chris to make a choice.

Even if Olivia managed to get Marina out of here, it was a problem whether Marina could withstand the

pain during the escape. After all, a lot of her bones were broken!

How could she undergo surgery in such a state?

Ms. Rosa wanted Chris to make a choice between his lover and daughter. It wasn’t something that an

outsider like Olivia could

meddle with

“Okay” Avery drove her away from the place.

The car was filled with dead silence.

“Olivia, are you alright?”

Olivia let out a bitter smile. “I don’t think so.”

Had she known that it was a cruel truth awaiting her, would she have gone through all of that to learn

it?

Avery didn’t know how to comfort her because they weren’t that close. “There will always be darkness

in one’s life. No matter how dark the days are, you’ll be able to see the daylight if you just march

forward.

– “Olivia, I think we’re somehow destined to meet each other. I’ll be leaving the city soon. Feel free to

contact me at any time if

you need anything.”

“I can’t be more grateful to you for helping me this much. Any news about your sister?”

He sighed. “Nope. Staying here longer won’t help out. Honestly, I’m a little sick. I have to return to my

country for dialysis.”

Looking at his pallid face, Olivia questioned, “Kidney failure?”

“Yeah.”

“The best doctors in the world are in your country. Can’t they help out with your case?”

“Olivia, doctors are only able to treat the symptoms, not the cause. There’s no medicine that works

wonders. The only option is a kidney transplant.”

“Judging from your status, shouldn’t it be easy for you to find a donor?”
