Chapter 202
Even After Death
Olivia thought she was a goner. She had begun to recover after the chemotherapy, even if it left her
body weak at first.
Maybe it was because she was in a better mood when she was on the island.
She felt like she was slowly getting better and had not vomited blood in a while.
She didnât know if it was because she got emotional. But she had never vomited so much blood before.
It was like red was all she saw. She fainted despite her best efforts to stay conscious.
When she opened her eyes again, she immediately smelled disinfectant.
She noticed the walls around her were white. Her stomach seemed to be better. It didnât hurt as much.
âOlivia, youâre awake! Are you feeling better?â A familiar male voice came from beside her. She looked
toward the voice.
It was Colin whom she met on the cruise ship. His eyes were filled with concern.
Olivia had just regained consciousness. She said weakly, âDid you save me?â
âThatâs right. I saw you on the side of the road as I was heading out. You had blood all over you. I was
scared to death.â
Colin scratched his head and said with an embarrassed expression, âIâm sorry, Olivia.
âI wanted to apologize to you for what happened on the ship. But I couldnât reach your phone.â
âItâs okay. I understand. It was just an accident.â
Olivia looked at the needle in her arm. Half of the liquid was still in the IV bag.
âThatâs right. Is Mr. Fordham doing well? Iâve just returned from overseas.
âI wanted to visit him, but I didnât want to intrude.â
Oliviaâs eyes darkened at the mention of Jeff. âHe isnât doing too good. He hasnât regained
consciousness yet.
âI appreciate the sentiment. Visitation is not allowed yet.â
âI understand. You have to stay strong, Olivia. Everything will be better.â Colin consoled Olivia.
He then asked, âAre you sick? I saw a lot of blood on your clothes, but I didnât see any wounds.â
Olivia smiled weakly and said, âIâm fine. I accidentally bumped my nose and had a nosebleed earlier.
Did it look scary?â
Colin patted himself on the chest and said, âThe bloody stains were scary. But Iâm relieved that youâre
okay.â
âDonât worry. Of course, Iâm okay.â Olivia reached for her phone on the nightstand. She realized that it
had shut down.
She knew she shouldnât have said those words at the Carltonsâ today. She knew she crossed the line
with Ethan.
Olivia understood that she shouldnât provoke him. She risked disrupting her own plans by doing that.
But she was just too angry. She wasnât able to hold it in. She knew that Ethan probably wouldnât let her
off this time.
Colin handed her a power bank and said, âOlivia, you need to stay the night for observation. You must
be hungry after sleeping for so long.
âIâll go buy you something to eat.â
Olivia nodded and said, âThanks.â
âNo need to thank me.â Colin smiled brightly. He walked out the door with brisk steps.
A nurse came in to help her remove the needle in her hand. She said with an envious look, âMiss, your
boyfriend is so good to
you.
âHe had been taking care of you the whole time you were out. Iâve never seen a more caring man than
him.â
Olivia was taken aback. She explained with a smile, âHeâs not my boyfriend. Heâs my younger brother.â
âIâm sorry! I was mistaken.â The nurse stuck her tongue out and removed the needle gently.
âMiss, your brother has booked a few medical examinations for you. Itâs getting late.
âThe examinations will be scheduled for tomorrow. Rest well tonight, and no food or drinks after 10:00
pm.â
âThereâs no need. Iâve already done medical examinations before. Itâs just a nosebleed today.
âI only fainted because I have been pretty frail.â
âOkay. But I still recommend that you do some in-depth examinations.
âAfter all, many things can cause a nosebleed. Your results from before might not reflect your current
health. Some conditions can worsen pretty rapidly.â
âThanks, Iâll think about it.â
Olivia got off the bed and freshened up a bit. She saw that Colin hadnât returned yet. She went to the
corridor and wanted to pay for her hospital bills.
She ran into Chloe when she stepped out of her room. She was also wearing patient attire.
