Chapter 283
Olivia was hurt pretty badly. But luckily, there weren’t any life-threatening conditions.
She had no choice but to take time to recover at Colin’s place.
Unlike the peace within the Moriarty residence’s walls, the outside world was in chaos.
Ethan expended a lot of resources trying to find Olivia’s body at sea. No stone was left unturned.
He was getting so out of hand that he even wanted to surround the part of the ocean where Olivia fell in
and drain the water.
The money needed for that idea was only a minor problem. The main problem was that it would cause
social uproar.
The netizens began to make fun of Ethan.
“The last time so much effort was put into draining water was when they wanted to catch an alligator
gar.”,
“And they say Marina is his true love. The way I see it, Marina is nothing to Mr. Miller compared to his
ex-wife.”
“It has been three days. Hasn’t anyone dug up information about Mr. Miller’s ex-wife?”
“It’s not that no one tried to look her up. It’s that no one dared to.”
Marina spent so much effort planning the engagement ceremony. But she became a laughingstock at
the end.

Everyone found out that Ethan didn’t love her at all.
Chloe also attracted plenty of attention.
She was known as the mother who betrayed her own daughter to save her stepdaughter.
Everyone on the internet was mocking her.
Chloe hadn’t been in the best of health. The shock from Olivia falling into the ocean hospitalized her.
To make matters worse, she was diagnosed with leukemia.
Chris stayed by her side the whole time. He was exhausted from the ordeal.
At the same time, he was greatly saddened by the state Chloe was in.
He looked at her pale complexion and held her hand lightly.
He said, “Olivia hasn’t been found yet. That’s good news. She must still be alive.”
Chloe had become very frail. She held Chris’ hand and sighed.
“For the past two days, I kept dreaming about her.
“She was drenched in seawater and was waving at me, asking me to join her. She must hate me so
much right now.”
Chris patted her on the head.”She wouldn’t do that. She’s a good kid. I’m sure she wouldn’t blame you.
You had no choice.”
Chloe covered her face with her hands. Tears flowed between her fingers.
She wept and said, “I am her mother, but I chose someone else over her. She must be so disappointed
in me.
“I think karma is coming back to me now. I’ve not long to live. I’ll be joining her in death soon.”
“Stop talking nonsense. I spent a fortune searching for compatible bone marrow. There are so many
people in the world.
“There’s definitely someone compatible. Don’t give up.”
Chloe hugged Chris tightly and said, “I’m not afraid of dying. I just don’t want to leave you alone in this
world.
“We wasted so much of our lives away from each other. Why is fate so cruel to us?”
“You won’t die,” Chris comforted her.

“I’ll never allow it. Don’t be afraid. You’re not at the terminal stage yet. We still have time.”
Chris’ words calmed Chloe down. He fed her some soup and lulled her to sleep.
Chris sighed as he looked at Chloe’s sleeping face. He turned to the servant next to him. “Don’t let her
get on the internet these few days.”
“Yes, sir.”
Chris had already spent a lot of money trying to remove all traces of the discussions about Marina and
Chloe. But the discussions always resurfaced again, seemingly without end.
Chloe’s mental and physical state have both been severely impacted. She had become very fragile.
He didn’t want her to be hurt anymore.

walked in..
“What are you hiding?” Chris asked with a frown.
“It’s my phone. I hid it because you forbade me from going online.”
Chris rubbed his eyebrows and said with a slightly hoarse voice, “There is a lot of negative press about
our family on the internet right now. It’s best if you don’t get hung up on them.”
“I know, Dad.”
“By the way, have your bone marrow compatibility test results come out yet?”
Panic flickered in Marina’s eyes as she said, “It’s out, but my bone marrow isn’t compatible with
Chloe’s.
“It’s such a pity. I wish I could’ve helped her.”
Chris patted her on the shoulder and said, “It’s not your fault. Rest well for now.”
“Okay, Dad.”
Marina watched as Chris left the room. She quickly dialed Otto’s number.
“What should I do, Grandpa? My bone marrow is compatible with that bitch.
“I don’t want to give her any of my bone marrow. You know I can’t handle pain.”
“Don’t worry, Marina. I’ll take care of it for you. All you have to do is not admit that your bone marrow is

“Thanks, Grandpa.”
le.”
Marina hung up. She had a cold expression on her face. She wanted Chloe dead as much as she
wanted Olivia to die.
