Chapter 322

Chris reached out for Olivia just as Ethan had expected.

Back when Olivia was about to die, the majority of the Carltons chose to let Marina live instead of her.

Chris was the only one who didn’t make a decision.

Hence, Olivia didn’t hang up. She said in a distanced and polite way, “Yes, it’s me.”

“I knew it! You’re still alive!”

Chris sounded very excited. Fortunately, Olivia had asked someone to deliver the teddy phone watch. It

was how they figured out that she was still alive.

Chris only dialed her number to see if it would work. He didn’t expect the call to go through.

“Mr. Carlton, I’m alive, but it doesn’t mean that I will donate the bone marrow to your wife.”

Before he could speak, Olivia declined his reason for calling.

“Olivia, I want to talk with you.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible.”

Olivia lay on the reclining chair. She held a coconut in her hands, enjoying the comforting sea breeze. It

felt like a warm hand caressing her cheek.

She thought that even the sea breeze was gentler than her mother’s own touch.

“Olivia, I know you don’t like Marina and the Carltons. As an elder, it’s not appropriate for me to

comment on the younger generation.”

Olivia interrupted, “If it’s not appropriate, then don’t do it. I don’t need your comments or apologies.”

“Olivia, I know that nothing I say can ease the resentment you’ve been feeling. I just want to tell you

that your mother is in a

dire state.

“It wasn’t that she refused to come back to Arlandia to see you. It’s because of my special status that

she couldn’t come back. Your mother truly misses you!”

Olivia didn’t say a word. She couldn’t be bothered to argue with him about Chloe missing her.

His lies were too blatant.

Even if Chloe couldn’t go back to Arlandia, she could at least make a call.

Back then, Chloe had just left when Olivia pestered Jeff for Chloe’s number overseas.

She kept wondering if Chloe was used to life overseas. Life in other countries was quite different from

Arlandia, after all.

Chloe had always been a picky woman, so Olivia was worried that she couldn’t get used to it.

When the call went through, Olivia didn’t even have a chance to talk.

When Chloe heard Jeff’s voice, she said, “It’s over between us. I have a new family now, so don’t call

me anymore. I don’t want him to misunderstand our relationship. That’s all. I’m busy.”

Olivia was stunned when she heard that. She was worried for Chloe for days, but Chloe never even

asked about Olivia. Instead, Chloe was worried that Jeff would pester her.

After all, if Jeff truly wanted to pester Chloe, he wouldn’t have let her leave just like that.

In all those years, Olivia could see that Jeff loved Chloe to bits. But no matter how much he tried, he

couldn’t get Chloe to warm up to him.

In the end, when Chloe left, she didn’t even remember a nice thing he did for her. Instead, she feared

that he would become a

burden.

Olivia found it pathetic.

How could her mom be someone like this?

As time passed, her love for her mother was able to trump the sadness she felt from this incident.

Back then, she would stand guard near the phone, fearing that she might miss a call from her mother.

When she was in her teens, other families had already’stopped using landlines. But she kept their

landline around.

She thought that Chloe simply didn’t want to talk to Jeff. But she was different. She was her mother’s

daughter, so surely her mother would ask about her.

As soon as she got off school, she would keep watch on the phone. She would also keep an eye on the

extension line when she went to sleep at night.

There was a time zone difference to consider. Olivia couldn’t sleep too soundly in case she missed a

call.

But after giving hundreds of excuses, she still hadn’t received a call from Chloe.

Now that Olivia had grown up, she finally understood the truth. Chloe was relishing the happiness of

getting back together

with her old lover.

Chloe was probably eagerly preparing for her new life with Chris. She wouldn’t remember that Olivia

even existed

After all, Olivia was simply the daughter Chloe didn’t love.

It wasn’t that Chloe was playing favorites. Olivia was simply never loved.

Chris spoke for a long while, and Olivia stayed silent the whole time. When he had finally stopped

talking, Olivia spoke up

“Are you tired from all the talking? Why don’t you drink some water before you continue?”
