Chapter 52
Even After Death
At that time, a pregnant Olivia was battling a marriage that went downhill. She brushed off the situation.
She assumed that Ethan did not inform her of the proof of graduation. It wasnât a big deal to him.
She smiled at Calvin, âYeah, I received it.â
âWe havenât heard from you in two years. Were you furthering your studies elsewhere? And I heard
about your familyâs situation.
âLook, we are old mates from college. If you need help, donât hesitate to get in touch with me at any
time. Iâd be honored to have you join us at the Oakland Hospital.â
In their eyes, she remained the brightest star in the sky. She recalled her miserable and fruitless life in
the last few years and finally understood the gravity of her mistake.
âIâm sorry. I do not have plans to do so. I shouldnât be at todayâs event. I â¦â
Calista gloated. âI heard you got married. Are you a housewife, by any chance? If so, youâre really out
of place in this event. You wouldnât want to disgrace the VIPs.â
Calvin shot her a disapproving look. Since the Davieses were reliant on the Atkinses, Calista had to
keep her manners in check. Unlike her, Calvin acted gentlemanly toward others.
âThatâs fine. We havenât seen each other in a while anyway. Since weâre in the same industry, we might
end up working together. I invited some medical experts to this event along with our classmates. Olivia,
please donât feel that youâre out of place.â
He added, âJust think of it as expanding your social circle.â
Olivia could not possibly excuse herself after Calvin attempted to keep her around. The other
classmates were cool with Olivia. They enthusiastically chatted with her.
In her classmates, she saw the good old college days when they confidently engaged in lively
academic discussions. She stared into her hands, feeling disappointed at how she had turned so
boring. Her marriage only brought her pain.
From the conversations around her, she learned that the founder of the hospital would attend the event
as well.
âI heard that the Miller Group bid for the Oakland Hospital project because the president wanted to
make his fiancee happy.â âMr. Miller has a reputation for being heartless. I never thought he was such a
romantic! He even named a hospital wing after his fiancee!â
Olivia looked shaken after learning about that, but she inquired with a sliver of hope, âMr. Miller? Which
one?â
âOh, Olivia, you canât be that out of the loop! Ethan Miller is the only Mr. Miller in Aldenvine with pockets
deep enough to invest billions in the hospital!â
Nobody noticed that her face paled as she clutched the hem of her top tightly. She had once vowed to
build a megaâhospital to benefit more patients.
Ethan took her idea and put it into action without her knowing, but one thing especially stood out to
herâhe named a hospital wing after Marina.
How ironic was that!
She stood up in a hurry and accidentally tugged on the tablecloth. The decanted red wine toppled over
and spilled all over her outfit, but she had no time to clean the mess.
âCalvin, something came up. I have to go now.â
Calvin immediately helped to wipe the stains with some napkins. At that moment, the door flung open.
Ethan and Marina entered
