Chapter 3756: Chapter 3757

Olivia stole a glance at him before quietly attempting to slip away.

Without lifting his gaze, Leonel asked, “Back from your trip? Did you bring me the medicine?”

Olivia hummed in affirmation, settling onto the sofa.

She extracted the contents of her small bag-four boxes of medicine unavailable locally.

She explained, “I heard rumors about you while purchasing the medicine.

I was tempted to toss it all into the river.

”

“Then why didn’t you?”

Before Olivia could respond, Leonel spotted the tear streaks on her face.

He sighed.

“What happened? Didn’t you consult the fortune-teller before leaving today? Bumped into Raphael, didn’t you?”

Olivia sensed his intuition.

However, she tried to avoid the topic of Raphael and simply said, “Ran into him at the airport.

”

Leonel’s words could be biting at times.

“No wonder you look like you’ve seen a ghost.

”

Olivia offered a bitter smile.

After a moment, she interjected, “Leonel, don’t speak ill of him.

At that time, he was also a victim.

Even now, he remains unaware of the truth, oblivious to why I had to end things with him.

”

Leonel chuckled.

“Perhaps he’s already figured it out.

”

Raphael’s father had been under Mark’s jurisdiction.

Later, he made a mistake and received a 20-year prison sentence.

He was so averse to life behind bars that he later committed suicide.

Mark handled the situation at the time.

Olivia was oblivious when she fervently pursued Raphael.

Even during their romance, she remained unaware.

One day, Raphael’s mother confronted her and slapped her across the face, leaving Olivia bewildered.

Although she couldn’t recall many details from that day and chose to selectively forget, she vividly remembered his mother’s cutting words, “What do you really want? Let me tell you something! As long as I’m alive, you won’t be allowed to marry my son!”

Olivia was merely in her early twenties that year.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at the distraught woman before her, eventually piecing together the entire story.

Later on, she surrendered what she had been reluctant to let go of to Raphael.

That night, in that cramped hotel room, she bled a lot.

It pained Olivia deeply.

Afterwards, Raphael showered her with ki*ses, repeatedly apologizing for what had happened.

That was the first time for both of them.
