Chapter 1073
Even After Death
The Carltons became anxious as soon as they heard that she was going to leave.
âPlease donât leave! I jumped through hoops just to find you. You canât go. My granddaughter is
counting on you!â said Otto.
âYes, doctor. Please check on Ms. Carltonâs legs. Miss, this is Vanessa, the person I told you about.
âHer medical skills are top-notch. She excels in a lot of areas. She said that thereâs a chance for you to
walk again.â
Only then did Marina look at Olivia with bright eyes. âReally? Can you make me walk again?â
âAs long as you give me your cooperation,â replied Olivia indifferently.
Marina thought of something and decided to shrug off the fact that Olivia had slapped her.
Marina nodded. âOkay. Iâll do as you say.â
âMs. Carlton, remember your words. Donât regret it later on.â
âWhy would I regret it? As long as you can treat my legs, Iâm willing to do anything.â
âOkay. Iâll check your condition first. Please lie down.â
Fabian chimed in, âLet me do it.â
He walked toward Marinaâs side and bent over, preparing to carry her.
Resentment and fear were written over her face. Her body was trembling when he touched her.
She was afraid.
Olivia found that ridiculous. Marina had been haughty her whole life. It was rare to see her being afraid
of others.
Now, it made Marina and Fabianâs relationship even more questionable.
Olivia pulled the hem of Marinaâs pants. Since Marina couldnât walk, her muscles shrunk.
How could this be compared to the pain of Olivia losing her parents because of her?
Olivia massaged Marinaâs legs from the calves to the thighs.
Marina suddenly grabbed her hands. âEnough. Did you find out anything?â
âNothing.â Olivia withdrew her hands. âI can treat your legs. Before the surgery, I have to perform
acupuncture on you every day to stimulate the nerves in your legs.â
âSure. I have money, lots of money. As long as you can treat my legs, I can give all of them to you.â
Marina didnât seem to be completely sane.
She continued, âGrandpa, leave the room. Ethan is coming soon. I canât see him like this.â
Otto wanted to say something but didnât in the end. He asked everyone to leave the room.
Ethan would always be her obsession.
Olivia, who was asked to leave the room, took a few sips of coffee and realized that Fabian was
missing.
She acted naturally by stating that she needed to go to the toilet. But she returned to Marinaâs quarter
secretly instead.
It was quiet. There were barely any servants in the house, but now, there were none of them.
She peeked into the window.
As she had expected, Fabian had shown his true colors.
The malicious man slapped Marina without holding himself back. âBitch! How could you still be missing
him? Am I not treating you well enough?â
âFabian Carlton, if you touch me again, Ethan will come right at you!â
âHow affectionate. Heâll come right at me? I bet you want him to know how I mess with you, donât you?
Does he know that youâre all filthy?â He unbuckled his belt and thrust himself into her.
âGo to hell, Fabian Carlton!â
âYou better know who your man is, bitch! How dare you seduce another man?
Iâm going to punish you severely!â
âStop, Fabian! You canât do this to me. I will tell Grandpa!â
Fabian chuckled.
âTell him then. I hope heâll get a heart attack. And then, the familyâs property will be rightfully mine!
âEven you, too! Has Ethan ever fucked you like this, bitch?â
Olivia wished she could close her ears to shut out those dirty remarks.
Marina covered her eyes, sobbing while calling Ethanâs name.
Olivia thought, âThese crazy people.â
