“Ms. Larson, you have stage three lung cancer. You have less than six months left to live.” ‘Lung cancer?’ Olivia Larson’s pupils constricted. She was only 27 years old. How could she have terminal lung cancer? Her hands shook in disbelief. “Doctor, are you sure?” “Are you Olivia Larson?” She nodded blankly. “Then, yes, I am sure. I know you’re still young, so this is hard to accept, but this is no mistake, Ms. Larson. “You have a small chance of survival if you’re hospitalized, so I recommend you be immediately admitted.” ‘Admitted?’ Olivia lowered her head and read the lab results several times over. The words ‘third stage lung cancer’ pierced through her heart. She was still so young. How could she have terminal lung cancer?! Three years ago, she was the young miss of the Larson family of Ocean City and the aloof and cold Mrs. Freeman. Things were the same now, but the people around her had changed. Now, she was going to lose her life as well. What sins ha

Olivia's face reddened. Just as she was about to pass out again, John released his grip on her neck and grabbed her chin instead.“Olivia, I promised I’d avenge Dolly’s child. I’ll make your life a living hell!”Olivia coughed. Tears streamed down her face.“Johnny, I didn’t know she was pregnant. I wasn't trying to kill her…”John scoffed. “Heh, you’ve done so many crazy things in the past two years out of jealousy. Dolly said you’re jealous of her, and that’s why you tried to kill her too!”It had been two years since they fell out.During those two years, John refused to get a divorce, and he would humiliate her repeatedly.Suddenly, Olivia felt a knot in her stomach. She frowned and swallowed forcefully.“What happened two years ago?”John’s face was so dark it was terrifying. He looked as if he was about to kill her. “Don’t you know what you’ve done? If Dolly didn’t give me her kidney, I would have died!”“What kidney?”After Olivia asked that question, John pushed her

Olivia lifted her hand to wipe the blood off the corner of her lips with her sleeve. Then, she stumbled to the bathtub and turned on the faucet. She did not care whether the water was hot. She simply got in and sat. The man who had sworn to love her forever in front of a priest had changed. He changed two years ago, but she only realized it now. It was as if her reaction times had been slowed down. He had imprisoned her. It seemed like he was hiding his mistress in his house, but in reality, he was doing this to torture her. Who was Olivia to John? Was she his lawfully wedded wife, or was she a toy for him to vent his frustrations out on? The water finally warmed up, and her icy body eventually warmed up too. She submerged her head under the water and closed her eyes. She imagined John choking her, and immediately, she felt suffocated. She emerged from the water in a panic. She only calmed herself down after taking a few deep breaths. She could not die yet. She had not

Olivia thought that she was in a long dream.In her dream, John was down on one knee, holding her right hand with his long fingers and looking gently at her."Liv, marry me, and I'll make you the happiest person in the world."Her cheeks turned red as she lowered her head and nodded shyly. "Johnny, I want to be your bride."With that, John got up, smiled, and kissed her.Suddenly, the scene changed on to the day she found out she was pregnant.She handed her pregnancy test to John. "Johnny, I'm pregnant. I'm going to be a mother."John froze for a moment before smiling like a child. He was so surprised that he was at a loss for words. "I'm going to be a father?" She nodded as she beamed.It was their first child, and they might have more in the future.John dropped the test in his hands and took her in his arms. He pressed his lips against her ear and whispered in his deep and magnetic voice."Liv, thank you. I will make our family the happiest one there is."Then, she was

John pushed Olivia so hard that she hit her head on the corner of the bedside table. The sudden pain made her hiss.She frowned as she endured the pain. She reached out to touch the back of her head, onlyto find her right hand covered in blood. She could also feel the drooping flesh on her hand. However, John did not see that.He only saw Olivia raise her hand, so he thought she was going to hit Dorothy. He reflexivelypushed her away again."Get your dirty hands off me!"With that, he picked Dorothy up and walked out.When he reached the door, he stopped. His sinister eyes stared coldly at the woman on thefloor and warned her."Olivia, this is your last chance. If I catch you bullying Dolly again, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death!"'A fate worse than death?'Isn't that what I'm already experiencing now?'Suddenly, she remembered her brother. Ignoring the blood on her body, she stumbled out.She ran after John and stopped him."Johnny, where's my brother?"D
