Chapter 1079
"Who are you? Grandpa, I don't want her to treat me anymore."
Marina felt an instinctive fear. She could sense the hatred the woman had for her. The
woman also reminded her of Olivia.
After Olivia left all those years ago, no one heard from her again. Some people said that
she was already dead.
No matter where she was, this person before her shouldn't be Olivia, right?
Olivia was calm. "I was just commenting on the discussion between you and Mr. Miller.
Why are you acting so suspicious? Did you really do something bad?"
Marina was the one that caused the deaths of both Chloe and Jeff. She deserved to rot in
hell.
"Marina, you're being too sensitive. The doctor is very busy. We only managed to get her
to come after contacting her multiple times.
"Stop overthinking and endure the pain. It's all so you could stand up again."
"Endure the pain? How much longer do I have to endure it?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You need to go through three months of treatment. If the results are positive, the
timeframe could be shorter. We'll start the surgery after the treatment."
"Three months!"
That would mean she would have to endure this kind of torture for almost 100 days.
Marina shuddered at the thought.
Finally, all the needles had been stuck into her legs. She felt pain emanating from every
single pressure point. Marina's face paled, and she was covered in sweat.
"Keep it like this for 30 minutes."
Marina thought the torture Fabian put her in was already hell. But that was nothing
compared to the pain she felt at the moment.
As the sun was setting, Olivia collected the needles and said, "Soak her feet and apply the
ointment before I get here next time. I'll only be performing acupuncture, okay?"
Fabian nodded. "Thanks. It's getting late. Why don't you eat dinner with us before you
leave?"
"Alright, but just this once. You don't need to prepare food for me next time."
Olivia acted very coldly and indifferent the whole time.
"Understood."
Fabion handed Olivia a check for two million dollars. "This is the payment for the
treatment. I'll pay you handsomely when my sister is able to stand up."
Olivia didn't turn him down. "We'll talk about that when the time comes."
When they were at the dining table, Marina initially didn't have the energy to get up. But
Ethan was there, so she had to eat with them no matter what.
The seat next to Marina was empty, but Ethan went to sit next to Olivia.
"My chest hurts, Vanessa. When can you take a look at it for me?"
Olivia didn't even raise her head.
"It's just a minor issue, Mr. Miller. You just have to get some herbal medicine from an
experienced doctor."
"Ethan, this is your favorite dish. I specifically asked the chefs to prepare it for you."
Marina suddenly butted in and brought some food over to Ethan with great effort.
"I used to like it because it was one of the dishes Liv used to make. What I liked was Liv,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot the dish itself."
Olivia almost choked on the food she was eating from the shock of his sudden confession.
What was wrong with Ethan? Was he possessed?
Marina's gaze was filled with disappointment. "You two have been divorced for so many
years. Why are you still thinking of her?"
Ethan retorted, "Should I be thinking of you instead?"
Otto cleared his throat. "Let's eat. Ethan finally came to visit.
Let's not talk about that."
Marina had no choice but to shut up. Then, she saw Ethan putting some meatballs on
Olivia's plate.
"This is an Aldenvine specialty cuisine. Give it a try and see if you like it."
Olivia used to love spicy food. This was one of the few non- spicy dishes that she liked.
She would cook it herself occasionally. Ethan remembered all her preferences.
"Thanks."
Marina's eyes widened in shock. Why would Ethan be so nice to a stranger?
Fabian suddenly asked, "Your accent sounds very local. Are you from Aldenvine, Vanessa?"
