Olivia’s words seemed to have angered Dr. Galloway. Her emotions changed drastically. “Why would itkeep me up at night? I have nothing to be afraid of! She was a lunatic anyway. She would’ve died a fewyears ago if not for my care. I only sent her off. Her life was a living hell when she was there.”
“So you’re the one who pushed her off the building?”
“So what if I was? It’s all your fault. She could’ve lived if you hadn’t gone to the psychiatric hospital. It’syour fault for meddling in our business.”
Olivia suddenly thought that Dr. Galloway should be the one under psychiatric care. Her mental statewas clearly problematic.
She wondered what had happened between Dr. Galloway and Belle. Why would she have such a hugereaction when Belle was mentioned?
“What about Belle’s baby? Do you know where the child is now?”
“What baby? I don’t know anything about that.”
“I had someone examine her body. She had stretch marks on her body. There were also signs of herhaving given birth in the uterus.”
Dr. Galloway shrieked at Olivia, “Does it matter if she had a baby or not? Belle…”
Olivia was about to ask her more questions about Belle when Ryan ran in and wrapped his armsaround Dr. Galloway. “Calm down, Jennifer. It’s all in the past now. There’s no need to talk to her about
that.”
Olivia wondered why Ryan had to say that. Did Belle’s death take a toll on Dr. Galloway? Why wouldthat be the case?
She was the one who wanted Belle dead. Why would she go into a frenzy at the mention of Belle’sdeath?
Ryan took her away, and everything fell quiet once more.
Nothing made a sound in the huge room. It was so quiet that Olivia could hear the beating of her ownheart. She could also make out the sound of some mice scurrying around.
She used to be afraid of mice. But she was dying soon, so she had no more energy to care aboutrodents.
It was as if the mice sensed that she was still alive. They only sniffed around her body but never daredto come closer.
Olivia’s face was pressed against the uneven floor. It wasn’t wood or floor tiles. It felt like it was thefloor of an unfinished house. She could also smell some chemicals in the air.
Olivia put the information she had together. It was an abandoned factory, and she was at the seaside.She guessed that she was probably at Eastside Harbor.
This used to be a very prosperous area. The cargo transportation business thrived here due to theharbor. Many large chemical plants were constructed here as well.
However, due to government planning and the southward shift of economic focus-along with thepollution caused by the chemical plants-many companies relocated.novelbin
As a result, this area gradually became a wasteland.
No one would know even if someone died here and their corpse was rotting. Olivia subtly pulled on hersleeve to hide the phone watch that Chloe gifted her. It was her only chance to call for help. She had tomake it count.
Meanwhile, Ethan was on a helicopter that was flying away from the urban area. He felt like somethingwas weighing down on his chest. It only grew heavier as time went on.
