After what happened with Snowball, Olivia was deeply shocked. Since then, she had been drained of all energy, and the positive changes from before were completely gone.
Ethan was anxious when he saw that, but he couldn’t do anything about it. He couldn’t endure the pain in Olivia’s stead, be it physical or mental pain.
Olivia was getting weaker by the day, and there was still no news of Colin. Ethan was anxious and panicking.
On top of that, Olivia also refused to see Ethan. He could only check in on her by looking through the glass outside the door and asking the doctor about her.
These days, Olivia would just lie in bed and wipe her tears most of the time. Sharon and Janice took turns to persuade her, but it wasn’t very effective.
She was suffering from a mental illness, so even the best doctors couldn’t cure it.
Janice patted Ethan on the shoulder. “Mental illnesses require mental healing. Olivia has lost her will to live. You should mentally prepare yourself.”
Everyone told him the same thing, but even now, he still wasn’t prepared to be separated from Olivia.
Ethan walked hesitantly into Olivia’s ward. She was curled up into a tiny ball under the blanket. She looked pitiful and weak, and the liveliness from before was completely gone.
He couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if she hadn’t gotten married to him regardless of everything back then. He wondered if she would’ve had a different ending.
Olivia slowly looked up at him. “You’re here.”
Reaching out, Ethan tucked her hair on her face behind her ear. “Liv, can you keep living? Please, I’m begging you.”
She stared straight at the white ceiling above her. “Ethan, just take me away. I don’t want to die in the hospital. It’s so cold here.”
“Nonsense. You’re not going to die.”
“I had a dream about the two children last night. They told me that they missed me a lot. I want to reunite with them now.”
Ethan choked. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Liv, there must still be a way.”

But Olivia ignored him, saying, “Looking at the calendar, Connor’s birthday is in a few days, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“I quite like that kid. I want to celebrate his birthday with him for once.”
Ethan held her hand. “He’s also your child, Liv. Believe me, I treated Marina like that to repay a favor. I never loved her at all. I owed Kurt-”
But Olivia couldn’t be bothered to listen to those lies. She interrupted him in annoyance, “I don’t like Erina and Marina. Can’t we just make it the three of us?”
Ethan had no choice but to agree. “Sure, anything you say.”
Following Olivia’s instructions, Ethan brought her and Connor to a wooden house by the beach. Olivia sat on the balcony while Connor leaned against her with the yellow ball in his arms.
The glow of the sunset shone warmly on the two, and it was quite a peaceful sight.
Ethan was just done preparing dinner in the kitchen when he came out and saw that scene.
Connor leaned into Olivia’s arms obediently. “Mommy.”
Olivia caressed his head gently. If this child truly were her son, she could die without regrets.
In her last days, she could finally live the life of her dreams.
She could have a happy family, and she would have given birth to an adorable son for Ethan.
The days were simple and cheerful. When Ethan came back from work, he would bring a small cake with him. Connor happily danced around him. “Daddy, you’re so nice.”
From a distance, Olivia watched Ethan and Connor interact with each other. This was the always dreamed of.
As she watched, she smiled. As she was smiling, she began to cry.

She wondered if she was laughing at her fantasies in the past or at herself now, who had lost everything.
“Mommy, come and eat cake!”
The tiny Connor tried to move the wheelchair over to the dining table. When Olivia saw that, she felt warmth welling up in her heart.
When he hugged her to sleep last night, he said, “Mommy, when I’m all grown up, I’ll be able to protect you.
