Olivia started the surgery. The heartache overwhelmed Marina more than the physical pain did.
Being both mentally and physically in pain, she thought that this was the end of her life.
Olivia wasn't going to let her off that easily. "You know how many years I've been waiting for today? My beloved mother left me when I was young. She treated you so well and yet you didn't hesitate to hurt her and my father.
"Do you even know what I did just to save him? In the end, you took his life with a lift of a finger. Do you know how painful life was to me?"
The more she talked about it, the more strength she exerted in her moves.
Marina yelled so much that her voice turned hoarse. "Olivia, it was an accident. He's my father too. I didn't know!"
"You're calling him your father? How dare you! Why aren't you the one who died, Marina Carlton? Dad was so excited to welcome my baby to the world. He made them toys, showing signs of being willing to live on! It's all because of you. You!"
"Calm down, Olivia!"
"Calm down? Dad was such a nice guy, but he's no longer here. How could you have the nerve to continue with life? Why aren't you the one who's dead?"
God knew how crestfallen Olivia was back then. She was oblivious to Connor's true identity, terminally ill, and losing her only family.
On the other hand, Marina, the sinner, was still alive!
Grief clouded Olivia's features.
Jeff's death was something she could never get over. It'd be difficult for her to walk out of the shadow of the pain.
Whenever one bottled one's emotions for too long, one's reaction would be more vehement when those emotions came to the surface.
Cold sweat washed Marina from head to toe before she lost consciousness.
But minutes later, the pain pulled her back to consciousness again.
