Chapter 855 After a long struggle, Olivia sent Ian a text message.
Olivia: [I know youâre tired of hearing me say the word âsorryâ, but I donât know what else to say. I know itâs impossible to make you forgive me because I also blame myself for failing to take good care of you and missing the chance to watch you grow up.
Itâs my fault. You forgave me, but I repeatedly let you down. If I were you, Iâd be angry too. Iâd ignore myself. But Iâm really sorry, Ian. I cant go to you yet. Iâll apologize and make it up to you later, okay? Ian, be a good boy. Live a good life, study hard, eat regularly, donât stay up late, and donât hurt yourself... Love, Olivia]
After sending the text message, she let out a long sigh.
How could she walk away when Mrs. Simmons had fallen ill?
Ian was now an adult and could live on his own. Between the two, she had no choice but to prioritize Mrs. Simmons.
As she thought about it, tears blurred her line of sight, and a warm tear dropped onto the phone.
She wiped it off in a panic. Then, she covered her mouth and began to cry silently.
âOlivia Larson! Olivia, youâre so useless. Why canât you do anything right? Why must you do everyone wrong?â
Two days later, Mrs. Simmons could already go to the bathroom herself, and Samâs mood had improved.
Of course, Olivia did not know if Sam was merely keeping his emotions bottled up because of everything that had been going on or if he had gotten over it, but she did not have time for that.
After having lunch with Mrs. Simmons and reminding Sam to stay in the ward with Mrs. Simmons, she went to Quinton Group by taxi.
She wanted to talk to Zac in person.
However, when she arrived at Quinton Groupâs legal department, she found Zacâs office door locked. The secretary said Zac was not in and asked Olivia to reschedule her meeting.
When she called Zacâs phone, she heard his ringtone coming from inside the office.
âOpen the door!â
The secretary blocked her at the door. âMrs. Quinton, please. Mr. Quinton just forgot his phone. Heâs really not inside.â
Olivia looked at her coldly and repeated, âOpen the door!â
The secretary was in a dilemma. She dared not open the door nor stop Olivia, so she could only stand awkwardly in the doorway.
Luckily, Elaine walked over, took Oliviaâs arm, and walked out. âMrs. Quinton, letâs talk for a second.â
Olivia was about to shake her off when Elaine nodded at her, so she followed her out.
âMr. Quinton is in a meeting. Iâm afraid you wonât be able to see him today.â Elaine took a moment, then continued. âBut are you really getting a divorce? â
âWho said so?â
âKen, is it your day off tomorrow?â
âJamie York.â
Olivia frowned. âWhoâs Jamie York?â
Elaine pressed her lips together, looked around, and whispered, âThe woman who came out of Mr. Quintonâs office before. Sheâs said to be dating Mr. Quinton. She said he wants to divorce you because of her.â
Olivia recalled the woman who pulled the straps last time. It turned out her name was Jamie York.
She had a nice name.
âShe almost told the whole Quinton Group. It probably canât be kept a secret for much longer.â
Elaine expected Olivia to be angry but found her surprisingly calm. Her reaction was not typical of a woman who just learned that her husband cheated on her.
âMrs. Quinton, are... Are you alright?â
Olivia looked up at her and said with a smile, âIâm fine. Since I canât see Zac today, Iâm leaving.â âMrs. Quinton, are you not mad?â
