Chapter 199
Even After Death
Olivia closed her eyes. She could see herself chasing after Chloe throughout the years.
She never did understand why her mother was always unhappy.
She always thought that her mother might be happier if she was more obedient.
Even after Chloe had left for years, Olivia would find excuses for her whenever she missed her.
She thought that Chloe only left because she didnât love Jeff. She thought that Chloe must have her
reasons for leaving her daughter behind.
When she hadnât reunited with Chloe, her image of her stayed as a gentle and kind woman.
She thought that Chloe would miss her as much as she missed her.
Now, it would seem like their emotions were not on the same wavelength.
Olivia took a deep breath. She swallowed the bloody taste in her throat once again.
When she opened her eyes, they were clear.
Olivia said slowly, âMs. Parker, Mrs. Carlton. I hereby sever all ties with you. Just pretend like you never
had a daughter. Iâll pretend I never had a mother.â
Chloe slapped Olivia in the face.
âOlivia Fordham, are you listening to yourself? Why did I give birth to such a rebellious daughter? Why
are you so rude?â
Chloe clutched her chest and stared at Olivia angrily. âHow did you turn out like this?â
Chris quickly came over and held Chloeâs hand. He took her side because she was the woman he
loved.
âOlivia, your mother is just looking out for you. Do you know she has heart problems? You shouldnât
anger her like that. Come apologize to her.â
Normally, Marina wouldnât have cared about what happened to Chloe.
But Olivia was here. She wouldnât give up on a chance to disgust Olivia.
She held Chloe and pointed her finger at Olivia, saying, âMs. Fordham, I know you blame me for taking
Ethan from you.
âBut no matter what, you shouldnât anger your mother so much! Mother, are you okay? Butler, go get
her a glass of water.â
Olivia thought that there must be something wrong with the world.
She was the one who got slapped. But she was also the one being reprimanded.
Chloeâs slap was powerful. It messed up Oliviaâs hair.
Her hair covered half her face.
Blood began dripping to the floor from her chin. Ethan was the first one to notice and went over to her.
âAre you okay?â Ethan said with concern.
Olivia slowly raised her head. Her nose was bleeding profusely.
It was not a regular nosebleed. The blood was flowing endlessly. Ethan panicked at the sight of the
blood.
âRaise your head.â Ethan quickly took a few pieces of tissues and stuck them into her nostril. But the
tissues were unable to keep the blood back. They were quickly soaked in blood.
Chloe was shocked. She ran over in a panic and said, âWhatâs happening, Olivia? I thought I didnât hit
your nose. I
She wanted to hand Olivia some tissues, but Olivia slapped her hand away.
âDonât touch me!â
Olivia said to Chris, âMr. Carlton, may I use your toilet?â
âGo ahead,â Chris said urgently. He regretted butting into their argument. It was supposed to be
between mother and daughter.
Olivia went into the toilet alone and closed the door. The blood just flowed profusely into the basin
when she lowered her head.
It was not only her nose. There was also blood in her throat.
She threw up some blood and watched as it swirled in the basin. Was she dying?
