Chapter 1071
Olivia could still remember the first time she met Marina.
Marina had been standing next to Ethan with a protruding belly, wearing a triumphant expression.
Olivia could still remember what Marina said before pushing her off the cruise. "Say, will he save you or save me?"
On top of that, the memory of herself resorting to pawning her wedding ring while Marina was holding her head high was still
vivid in her head.
Olivia had imagined herself meeting Marina again countless times, but none of it turned out this way.
"Miss! Oh dear, why did it turn out like this? I'll call the ambulance!" The butler became frantic.
Judging from the amount of blood bled, Olivia could tell that it happened only a moment ago.
She quickly pressed the wound with a cloth to stop the bleeding. "Don't worry, she hasn't bled much. It's not a deep wound. Her
life isn't in danger."
"Who are you? Who told you to come here? Get away from me!" Marina struggled to break free from Olivia.
She didn't seem to be in her right state of mind.
While Olivia was defending against Marina's protest, her face was stained with blood.
Olivia slapped her right in the face without hesitation.
"Calm down already!" said Olivia coldly.
Marina was stunned, not expecting that from a stranger.
In fact, that was nothing considering that Olivia had been slapped multiple times. She was also forced to kneel on her knees and
almost had her face ruined!
Marina stopped her antics, and the butler said, "Ms. Carlton, Calm down. She's the doctor who's going to treat your legs. Why
did you do such a silly thing? Imagine how sad Mr.
Carlton Senior would be when he finds out about this."
The mention of Otto rendered Marina silent. After all, the only person who treated her genuinely well was him.
Even after learning that she wasn't his biological granddaughter, he didn't drive her out of the family.
He even settled her down so that she could spend the rest of her life without worries.
Otto's condition was getting worse. His time was running out.
The fact that Marina attempted suicide would be too much for him to take in. It might cost him his life too!
Olviia calmly treated Marina's wound while informing the butler to prepare some stuff.
Anxious, Fabian said, "You must save my sister. It doesn't matter how much the fee is."
He seemed to be worried sick like a good brother would.
Still, the hatred in Marina's gaze didn't go unnoticed by Olivia.
"Don't worry. This is my job," replied Olivia indifferently.
She stitched the wound up neatly. The needle poked into Marina's skin without the use of anesthesia.
Although Marina wished to die, she failed to do so.
The stitching process hurt so much that it made her grit her teeth.
"Does it hurt?" Olivia asked.
"Of course, it does. Won't it hurt if I were to poke you with a needle?"
Marina had been living a tough life these years, but her temper was as vile as ever.
Lowering her head, Olivia sneered. She thought, "How could this hurt? When I was injured that winter, I dragged myself to the
hospital for my stitches. That hurt like hell."
Soon, Marina's wound was treated.
Olivia looked at Marina's drenched robe. "Get something dry for her to change into."
"Okay. The maids can do it. You must be tired from traveling so far. You can get some rest outside. I'll tell you her condition in the
meantime."
Olivia wondered if Fabian was afraid of her seeing something. He asked her to leave the room as soon as she was done treating
Marina's wound.
"Okay." Olivia was smart enough to sense that something was off. She stood up immediately. "Keep an eye on her. I can help out
a living person but not a corpse."
Before she left the room, she saw a discarded condom in the trash bin from the corner of her eyes.
She thought, "Bingo. I'm happy to learn that you're having it tough right now, Marina Carlton."
