Chapter 323
Even After Death
Chris spoke animatedly, and he was wholly sincere about It. He didnât fake anything, and he even
spoke as if he were there in
person.
But in the end, when Olivia provided him with such a response, he didnât know how to react.
He still had many things to say, but now, they were stuck in his throat.
âOlivia, Iâm saying all this sincerely. Iâm not faking anything.â
âI know. Thatâs why I didnât hang up.â
Chris was probably the only person with integrity in the Carlton family. Olivia didnât mock him. Instead,
she politely listened to everything he had to say.
âOlivia, I forgot to tell you this. Donating bone marrow wonât affect a healthy person. They will recover in
about 10 days.
âItâs not the same as donating kidneys, which can bring irreversible harm.â
Olivia replied, âMr. Carlton, I learned medicine before. I understand everything you talked about.â
âThenâ¦â
âI donât want to donate it.â
Chris sighed. âYou wonât be doing it for free. Just name your price. I can pay you no matter how much
you ask for.â
âSome things canât be bought with money, like a motherâs love for example. Mr. Carlton, youâre a good
man. Thatâs why Iâm having this conversation with you patiently right now.
âIâm no longer Ms. Parkerâs daughter the moment she chooses to let me die.â
Chris argued, âOlivia, blood ties can never be cut off.â
âIn the past, she could cut it off if she wanted to Now, the same applies to me. I have something to deal
with, so Iâm hanging
up now.â
Beeps sounded on Chrisâ end of the line. When he dialed the number again, Oliviaâs phone was
already turned
Olivia lay lazily under the umbrella, allowing the sea breeze to caress her face.
The temperature here was much higher than in Aldenvine. It must be somewhere close to the equator.
Originally, she wanted to figure out the coordinates based on the natural vegetation. But Ethan had
spent a lot of money to remake this island over the past few years.
It was all man-made at this point. There were only some commonly seen moss and natural vegetation
with common characteristics. She couldnât find any clues about where she was
The cage was simply too luxurious. Ethan had realized his ambitious project.
âMs. Fordham, the afternoon tea is ready. Will you be dining here, or would you like to go somewhere
else?
âRight here, pleaseâ
âUnderstood. Please wait while I set everything up for youâ
The afternoon tea consisted of juice and snacks from various countries. The service Olivia enjoyed
here was equivalent to those in seven-star hotels.
At first, Olivia wanted to return to Aldenvine as soon as possible
This morning, she had just contacted Colin. Everything was well with Jeffâs ship. He would travel
another few days on the sea before he arrived at his island.
Jeffâs vital signs were stable. Olivia was reassured when she heard that
As long as Jeff was in one piece, Olivia wouldnât be threatened by anything
The mastermind must be mad now that Olivia couldnât be found anywhere.
Also, if Olivia were to go back right now, the Carltons would probably try to get her to donate her bone
marrow.
But here, Olivia could eat and drink as she liked. She was also feeling very relaxed.
After thinking things through, she stopped trying.
She would let Ethan deal with the incidents In Aldenvine.
Since she couldnât escape, she would enjoy her stay here.
When she temporarily let go of her burdens, Olivia realized that life had become much easier.
She finally experienced the wonderful feeling of hope and optimism.
Here, she wouldnât have alarms waking her up. She wouldnât have to fear getting kidnapped, and she
didnât have to be wary of anybody.
She would explore the island with Snowball every day. Her days were simple and happy.
It was just like the island she had been on some time ago. There werenât many locals here, but it was
much better than the island back then.
There was also a natural hot spring on the island. She could lean against the edge of the pool as she
soaked in the clean hot spring. She could enjoy the fluttering cherry petals as well.
Olivia even forgot that she was plagued by a serious illness. She ate and slept well here.
