Chapter 257
Olivia felt that human hearts were quite simple. Colin’s cooking managed to heal the hurt she received from Ethan and Chloe.
The more she needed love, the easier she was touched by small acts of kindness.
In the end, Colin still noticed her sorrow. He asked, “Olivia, is there something you’re upset about?”
“I need to undergo surgery, but when I look back in my life, I realize that I have no one to sign the risk acknowledgment letter for me. Am I a failure?”
Olivia spoke nonchalantly, but a pained look flashed across Colin’s eyes.
“Olivia, everyone has a different definition of failure. To me, you’re an outstanding woman, so you’re not a failure. An unhappy marriage can only be a mistake at most.
“But we have long lives. No one can predict the future and avoid making mistakes.”
Olivia frowned a little. “You know about what happened to me?”
“Back on the cruise, I knew that Mr. Miller was holding you. I was among the crowd at the hospital that day, so I overheard your fight. Sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”
Olivia smiled helplessly. No wonder he took so long to get food.
“It’s okay. It’s the truth, after all.”
Colin placed a dessert in front of her. “Olivia, if you don’t mind, I can sign the letter for you. What surgery are you getting?”
Olivia said lightly, “Stomach removal surgery.”
The calmness in Colin’s expression was disturbed. “Olivia, are you…”
“It’s exactly what you think it is.”
”
“How can it be? You’re so young. How could you get a terminal illness like that?”
Seeing his panicked expression, Olivia reached out and patted his head. “It’s okay, Colin. I’ve prepared myself.
“Also, it’s not as bad as you think it is. I went through chemo once, and it was very effective.”
The young man’s face was like a sheet of paper. His emotions were written clearly on his face.
