Chapter 322
Chris reached out for Olivia just as Ethan had expected.
Back when Olivia was about to die, the majority of the Carltons chose to let Marina live instead of her. Chris was the only one who didn’t make a decision.
Hence, Olivia didn’t hang up. She said in a distanced and polite way, “Yes, it’s me.”
“I knew it! You’re still alive!”
Chris sounded very excited. Fortunately, Olivia had asked someone to deliver the teddy phone watch. It was how they figured out that she was still alive.
Chris only dialed her number to see if it would work. He didn’t expect the call to go through.
“Mr. Carlton, I’m alive, but it doesn’t mean that I will donate the bone marrow to your wife.”
Before he could speak, Olivia declined his reason for calling.
“Olivia, I want to talk with you.”
“I’m afraid that’s not possible.”
Olivia lay on the reclining chair. She held a coconut in her hands, enjoying the comforting sea breeze. It felt like a warm hand caressing her cheek.
She thought that even the sea breeze was gentler than her mother’s own touch.
“Olivia, I know you don’t like Marina and the Carltons. As an elder, it’s not appropriate for me to comment on the younger generation.”
Olivia interrupted, “If it’s not appropriate, then don’t do it. I don’t need your comments or apologies.”
“Olivia, I know that nothing I say can ease the resentment you’ve been feeling. I just want to tell you that your mother is in a
dire state.
“It wasn’t that she refused to come back to Arlandia to see you. It’s because of my special status that she couldn’t come back. Your mother truly misses you!”
Olivia didn’t say a word. She couldn’t be bothered to argue with him about Chloe missing her.
His lies were too blatant.
Even if Chloe couldn’t go back to Arlandia, she could at least make a call.
Back then, Chloe had just left when Olivia pestered Jeff for Chloe’s number overseas.
She kept wondering if Chloe was used to life overseas. Life in other countries was quite different from Arlandia, after all.
Chloe had always been a picky woman, so Olivia was worried that she couldn’t get used to it.
When the call went through, Olivia didn’t even have a chance to talk.
When Chloe heard Jeff’s voice, she said, “It’s over between us. I have a new family now, so don’t call me anymore. I don’t want him to misunderstand our relationship. That’s all. I’m busy.”
