Chapter 509
Even After Death
Mona hugged Olivia tightly. They were around the same age, but she comforted Olivia like an aunt
would.
âDonât cry, Olivia. You still have me. Iâll take good care of you. Mr. Fordhamâs condition has stabilized
too. So, heâll be fine. Maybe heâll even wake up after a few days. Everything will be better.â
Olivia used to believe everything would be better too. But fate had made her understand that it could
always be worse. Youâd never know how unlucky you could be unless you experienced it.
1. Or maybe
People said misfortune wouldnât last forever, but Olivia couldnât see any hope for the future. She was
always fearful of tomorrow. She was afraid that Jeff would be dead when she woke something would
be wrong with her babies. Perhaps they might be malnourished.
There was also her illness, which made her even less hopeful for the future.
Olivia said in a shaky voice, âMona, Iâm really afraid that misfortune will befall me and my babies next.
Iâm not afraid of dying, but Iâm afraid that my babies will suffer because of me.â
âOlivia, youâre being paranoid. There hasnât been anything suspicious. What are you worried about? Itâs
safe here. No one will be able to get to you. Mr. Miller even brought over a gynecologist and
examination equipment for you. Iâve looked at those machines. Theyâre not cheap.
âMr. Miller cares about you. He wonât let anything happen to you.â
Mona comforted Olivia, saying, âYou donât have to worry about anything now. Itâs not the end of the
world yet. Mr. Fordham managed to survive such an ordeal, and heâll be fine.
âYou just need to rest and wait for the birth of your babies. Theyâll be born healthy, and youâll be fine. Iâll
keep you and the babies safe.â
From that day onward, Olivia stopped wallowing in sadness. She took up Jeffâs hobbies. Every day, she
would tend to the flowers, do some woodworking, and gaze at the ocean. She would stare at the tide
and the sky.
She began to feel like life wasnât as torturous when she cut off all communication with the outside.
world.
Although Jeff was unconscious, she could still see him every day. As long as he was alive, she had
hope. She wasnât an orphan.
Four months passed in the blink of an eye. It was now summer.
Oliviaâs stomach had grown. She had started to feel the babiesâ movements. The children inside her
womb were like two little fish swimming around every day.
The world seemed like a better place without Ethan there to bother her.
The sea looked exceptionally beautiful in the moving alouw Olivia grow out her hair a little Tha saa
breeze tousled her soft locks of hair, making her look gentle and graceful.
Recently, it was like her cancer was completely gone. Her stomach didnât even hurt once. She grew
rounder, and her complexion was healthy. If the times she vomited blood due to her cancer werenât
etched into her memory, she would think it was all a dream.
Olivia didnât know if it was due to her children, but her illness had stabilized and didnât worsen
anymore.
Mona smiled when she saw Oliviaâs peaceful expression. She brought Olivia some fruits. âYou have a
prenatal check-up tomorrow, so make sure to rest early tonight.â
âOkay.â
Olivia ate some blueberries and suddenly frowned.â
Mona asked worriedly, âWhatâs wrong?â
Olivia caressed her stomach, shook her head, and smiled. âItâs nothing. The kids are just excited.
Perhaps theyâre also looking forward to the check-up tomorrow.â
Mona sat beside Olivia and said, âMr. Miller has sent a new machine here. I went to ask about it. They
say itâs the best of its kind thatâs available on the market. Youâll be able to see the babiesâ faces and
gender clearly.
âOlivia, do you want boys or girls? The likelihood of having twins of the same sex is relatively high.â
