Chapter 410
Even After Death
Standing at the door, Olivia saw all this before she even entered. A mocking look flashed across her
eyes. She couldnât believe the sort of family her mom had married into.
Other than Chris, no one sincerely cared for Chloe.
In the past, Chloe did her best to please Otto, but Otto never thought of her as family.
In the end, the person who suffered the most was Chris. If he had to exchange Marinaâs life for Chloeâs,
Chloe wouldnât forgive him when she woke up.
Moreover, he had raised Marina as well. He had treated her like his biological daughter since she was
young.
He couldnât possibly make the choice.
No matter who he chose, he would lose. He wouldnât recover from it.
A nurse ran over to them. âYouâre the family members of the patient, right? She has woken up, and she
wants to see you.â
Chris whipped his head around and then followed the nurse out. Olivia went after them as well.
The doctor was standing at the entrance. âAccording to the patientâs wishes, she wants to be
transferred out of the ICU. She wants to spend the rest of her time with you.
âOf course, you have the right to decide whether we should follow her wishes.â
If she was in the ICU, no one could visit her. Also, every emergency rescue would cause strain on her
body. She would suffer a lot if she remained there.
Moreover, people who were rescued in this manner couldnât stay alive for long either.
Chris looked at Olivia. Supporting the man whose face was full of agony, Olivia said, âJust do as she
wishes.â
Chloe didnât have much time left. Olivia wanted her to at least leave peacefully.
When Chloe was brought out, she had visibly shrunken in a short amount of time. Her face was only
the size of a palm.
Even in her sickly state, she smiled as she gazed at the two.
âHoney, youâve suffered so much.â
âMom.â
When Olivia saw Chloe like this, her heart was saddened as well. The grudges from the disappeared
completely.
past
had
Chloe was seriously ill, and she still didnât know what had happened to Marina. She glanced around
instinctively. âWhereâs Marina? Is she still mad at me?â
She didnât realize that she was Marinaâs biological mother. But all these years, she had loved Marina
with the love of a mother.
Chris didnât want to upset her even more, so he had no choice but to lie to her.
âSheâll be here soon. Donât worry. What do you want to eat? Iâll get someone to buy it for you. Look how
thin youâve gotten.â
Chloe smiled. âIâll eat anything as long as itâs something you made. Darling, can you take me home? I
donât want to die alone in the hospital.â
At the mention of death, the atmosphere turned grave again.
Their eyes grew red. They knew that she was speaking the truth, but they couldnât retort at all. They
couldnât even utter a word of comfort.
But Chloe didnât seem to mind. âHelp me with the discharge procedures. Letâs have a meal at home as
a family, alright?â
She only had less than two days to live.
Chris hastily nodded. âSure. Iâll do everything you want.â
While Chris was dealing with the procedures, Chloe took Oliviaâs hand. She apologized softly, âLiv, Iâm
so sorry. I wanted to wait until I got better to make it up to you.
âBut alas, that day will never come. I didnât take good care of you all these years. Itâs my fault.â
Olivia said, âMom, I donât blame you anymore. I seriously donât. Youâll be fine.â
âSilly child, I know my body best. I donât have much time left.â
Gripping Chloeâs hand, Olivia answered, âWe found someone whose bone marrow matches sheâs
severely injured.
yours.
But
âIf you donât mind, we can arrange a marrow transplant operation for you right away.â
Chloe said, âYou said that sheâs severely injured. Are you thinking of exchanging one life for another?
Liv, Iâd rather throw away mine.â
Olivia sighed, lamenting the cruelty of fate. The antidote was right in front of Chloe, but she couldnât
use it.
