Chapter 371

Marina responded, “I called for the doctor and nurses as soon as possible. I went to the toilet. because

I had an upset stomach. I came here as soon as I was out of the toilet. How is she doing?

Chris looked at her for a while and shook his head. “It’s not looking good.”

“Don’t worry, Dad. Ms. Parker will surely get better. I’ve been reflecting on my actions these two days. I

used to hate her because I thought she was only pretending to like me. But I’ve realized that she really

loves me.

“I feel guilty for treating her so badly. I’ll never make her angry again when she recovers.”

Chris hugged her after she said that. “Your mother will be fine. We’ll get through this as a family.”

“That’s right.”

Olivia felt mixed emotions as she looked at them. Marina had abused her a lot, after all. There was still

a blood feud between them. Olivia really couldn’t bear seeing Marina in such a loving

situation.

She looked away but noticed that Marina’s hands were clutching the hem of her clothes tightly. Any

normal person would hug their father back in a situation like this.

But Olivia could see complicated emotions on Marina’s face. It looked like she was nervous, guilty, and

afraid.

After a while, Chloe was pushed out of the emergency room. But this time, she remained

unconscious.

Chris approached the doctor in a hurry and asked, “How’s my wife doing, doctor?”

The doctor removed his face mask, saying, “It’s not looking good. Her life is not in danger, but she has

gone into a coma. We’ll send her to the ICU for examination.

“There’s only one last option left for Mrs. Carlton. That’s to do the bone marrow transplant as soon as

possible, or else …”

The doctor looked at Chris and gave him the final deadline. “She might not last until the end of

the month.”

Chris took two steps back like he had been dealt a massive blow. “How … How could this be?”

“Mrs. Carlton’s condition suddenly worsened twice. These incidents have greatly shortened her life. Mr.

Carlton, if a compatible bone marrow still can’t be found, you’ll have to be ready

for the worst.”

Chris was dumbfounded. For once, Marina was staying at his side. Olivia felt like she didn’t belong

there, so she left quietly,

She found Kelvin and told him, “Go check if anyone other than Marina entered my mom’s

ward.”

“Okay, Mrs. Miller. Why don’t I send you home first? You’ve been helping out all night.”

Olivia knew she wouldn’t be able to see Chloe in the ICU, so she went home.

If the mastermind orchestrated this incident, there would be some contradictions to Olivia’s predictions.

If Leia’s target was her, why would she hurt Chloe?

The mystery that she thought she was close to solving became shrouded in mist again. Olivia sighed

deeply and thought about Chloe, who was on the verge of death. She started to feel sad.

Olivia opened the door and noticed that Ethan was actually home.

He was wearing an apron and holding a spatula. Looking at her, he said, “You’re back.”

Ethan noticed that Olivia was not in a good mood. He turned off the stove and approached her.

Hugging her, he said, “I’ve heard about it. Don’t be sad. I’ve cooked some chicken soup just for

you.”

His embrace was familiar to her. But there was the smell of oil and smoke on his body. It made

him feel more human.

Olivia didn’t know if she was too tired or Ethan’s embrace was too warm. But she didn’t move

away and allowed him to keep hugging her.

“I bought my mom’s favorite matzo ball soup for her, but she won’t get the chance to eat it anymore.”

Patting her head, Ethan said gently, “The gesture alone would make her very happy.”

“I suspect that her worsening condition isn’t a coincidence. Someone must have caused it.”

Olivia broke free from his embrace and looked at him. “It’s very likely that Marina is the one

who did it.”

Not many people could get into Chloe’s ward. Also, she had been away for so many years and

had no friends in the city.

As soon as Marina came to visit, something happened to Chloe. Also, Marina was acting very

suspiciously at the hospital.

“It’s okay. Don’t overthink it. I’ll handle it,” Ethan said as his expression remained the same.
