Olivia was puzzled. "Explain that, please. I don't get it."
"Let's put it this way. Kurt had been training with me since young, and because he looked similar to me, he was one of my body doubles.
"We braved dangers together, but he sadly fell in love with Marina.
"He got Marina pregnant. And then, when we were out on a mission, he suffered a lethal attack in my stead.
"Before he died, he was worried about Marina, so he asked me to take good care of her and the children.
"With gratitude toward Kurt, I agreed to all of Marina's requests. Back then, I mistook the Fordhams' relationship with my sister.
"With the two incidents overlapping, I got revenge on the Fordhams while I took care of the pregnant Marina. That was why you thought I cheated on you.
"I didn't explain anything when you questioned me.
"Marina didn't want the children in her belly to grow up in a single-parent family, so she pleaded with me to give her a home."
Olivia felt bitter in her heart. "So you gave it to her?"
"She used Kurt's life in exchange for those requests. I couldn't say no, so I could only divorce you. But later on, I realized that her demands only increased.
"The hospital, the dress, and Collington Cove … She wanted everything I prepared for you."
Olivia recalled those times. Her heart ached even more.
"So you knew that she pushed me into the sea back then?"
"I knew your personalities from the start. So, of course, I could guess what she had done. Back then, both of you fell into the sea at the same time.
"I wanted to save you at first, but then I remembered Kurt's dying face and his request. Back then, Kelvin and Brent had jumped into the sea, too. So, I swam toward her."
Olivia's eyes were wet. Holding back the tears, she asked, "Then what's the deal with the child?"
