When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 315
Ivan released Olivia. âFor the Miller family to have a daughter like Gina is unfortunate, but to have you, who, though not biological, are as good as our daughter, is a blessing. From now on, our family will stand together, never to be separated,â Ivan declared passionately.
âOkay.â Olivia nodded, feigning emotion.
Olivia had sacrificed by donating a kidney to earn their favor again. The Miller familyâs change of heart had been her chance. She had seized it, entwining herself with the Miller family for survival. It had been her plan until she stepped on Ginaâs toes.
Then, Ivan said to Ella, âMom, donât worry. Iâll immediately talk to Gina and have her return Miller Jewels to us.â
Ella couldnât dare to hope anymore. âLet it go, Ivan. As for Gina, we canât compete with her, and most importantly, behind her stands Gabriel. Iâve sinned to have such an unfilial daughter. I truly regret not ending her life when she was born,â Ella said from the depths of her heart.
âMom, itâs not too late now,â Ivan said disdainfully.
Ella was still worried. âBut Ivan, donât be reckless,â Ella cautioned âCommitting murder is against the law.â
âMom, you donât need to worry.â Ivan reassured Ella. âI promised you Iâll take care of Gina. I have my ways. Just trust me.
âEnough, Ivan. Stop talking nonsense,â Ella scolded, feeling that Ivan was irrational. âJust go home, now!â
Gina went to the medicine land to gather some medicinal herbs, intending to prepare a tonic for Neil Jackson. Upon seeing Cathy Fowler again, her complexion grew paler, and her appearance became haggard.
âMiss Miller,â Cathy said weakly, her voice trembling as she struggled to maintain balance.
Gina frowned and asked, âDid you donate blood again? She knew there had to be something suspicious about this so-called blood donation.
Cathy felt inexplicably guilty. âIâ¦â Before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed before Gina.
Gina was stunned, and she immediately crouched down to check her pulse. Cathy was in shock.
When Cathy woke up, she found herself in the hospital. As she glanced around, she saw a bag of blood continuously being transfused into her body while Gina sat nearby with a cold expression on her face.
âAwake? You almost died from shock,â Gina said succinctly.
Cathy hesitated for a moment, then realized she had narrowly escaped death. Overwhelmed with fear, she burst into tears. âThank you, Miss Miller, you saved me!â
âWhatâs the deal with the blood donation you mentioned earlier Donating blood again after just a few days-is that something you insisted on doing? How many people are as insistent on donating blood as you are?â Gina inquired.
Cathy realized that Gina knew she had been lying about her blood donation intentions before. This time, nearly dying, she couldnât hold back any longer. âIâm sorry, Miss Miller. Last time, I lied to you. I didnât voluntarily donate blood; I signed a
contract
âContract?â Gina exclaimed, surprised..

âYes,â Cathy stammered, her words disjointed and unclear as she struggled to speak through her sobs.
Gina motioned for her to calm down before continuing, âYou donât need to apologize to me. The life you almost lost is your own. The one you owe apologies to is yourself.â And Ginaâs intervention to save her was just a tiny effort on her part.
âI signed a contract with Blue Vale Hospital to supply blood. I have to be available whenever they call, and although they
blood- only draw a small amount, around 100-200cc, the intervals are very short each time. Despite them providing many replenishing nutrients and supplements after each extraction, I canât replenish it.in time, Cathy explained.
âWhy did you sign a contract with Blue Vale?â This question concerned Gina the most. âAre you in need of money?â
Cathy shook her head. âNo, Iâm not.â
Gina could tell that Cathy was hesitant and unwilling to tell the truth. âI saved you. Canât you be honest with me? Thatâs my only request.â Gina said.
Cathy lowered her gaze. âItâs my boyfriend.â
Gina wasnât surprised, but it was rare for her to meddle in others affairs. âYou said you didnât break up with Andy Taylor because he saved your life. Now, because of him, youâve signed a messy contract and nearly died. Youâve also paid him back with your life. No one can save you if you donât break up with him now. I canât guarantee that Iâll always be able to get you to the hospital in time when youâre unconscious, nor can you guarantee that someone will always find you when you faint,â Gina explained.
Cathy had to admit that Ginaâs words made sense. However, she was at a loss about what to do now. âBut I signed the contract. If I breach it. I have to pay a penalty of 100 thousand dollars, which I canât afford. I also donât want to donate blood anymore, but the contract is legally bindingâ¦â
âTake me to Blue Vale,â Gina said calmly. She wanted to see what this private hospital was up to.
âOkay,â Cathy agreed.
Gina fed Cathy some of the medicinal herbs she had grown herself, and Cathy immediately regained some strength. Together, they went to see what Blue Vale called its blood collection department.
Olivia was holding several newly signed blood supply agreements and smiling as she prepared to deposit them in Nicolas Jacquardâs office safe. She hadnât expected to run into Gina, and when she saw Gina standing across from her, Olivia felt as if sheâd seen a phantom. She was startled, fearing that Gina might be there to cause trouble for her.
Olivia looked at Gina with apprehension and asked, âWhat brings you here?â
Cathy had always considered Olivia a friend. She believed that meeting someone and making friends with them was a matter of fate in a world where countless people pass by each day. So, she took the initiative to greet Olivia. âOliviaâ¦â However, Olivia ignored her.
Gina noticed that Olivia was likely working here. Seeing the thick contracts in Oliviaâs hands, Gina furrowed her brows. âGet your supervisor or the person in charge of this hospital, Dr. Jacquard,â she instructed.
Olivia was surprised. âWhat do you need Dr. Jacquard for?â
âItâs none of your concern, Gina replied impassively.
Olivia felt somewhat offended, but she dared not express her anger. âDr. Jacquard isnât here. If you have any business, you can tell me directly,â she said.
Gina pointed to Cathy. âI want her blood supply contract,â she stated.
Olivia glanced at Cathy with confusion. Although Cathy had helped her before, they had lost touch after Olivia moved. So when Cathy greeted her earlier, Olivia didnât respond.

âWhat do you need that for? Olivia asked cautiously.
