Chapter 76
She wanted to deny it, but John's newfound gentleness made it seem like he was the old John again, which made her reluctant to walk away.
She threw herself into John's arms and cried, "Johnny, don't you hate me anymore? Don't you blame me?"
He stroked her back gently. "Liv, forget it. Let's forget everything, okay?"
"How... about Dorothy? You said you wanted her to be Mrs. Freeman..."
"No, Liv. I want to be with you during the final weeks you have in this world. Abort the child. It only makes. you weaker."
At that moment, Olivia felt like she had traveled back two years.
Her Johnny was back.
She lowered her head and touched her belly, smiling sweetly, "Johnny, I want to give birth to a child for you. If I die, he can accompany you." John's heart melted. 'She does love me, doesn't she?'
Someone was at the door, watching the scene in the ward enviously.
She could not let this thing go on.
'Terminal illness?
'You're pretending to have a terminal illness? Don't even think about it!
"I, Dorothy, am the one and only Mrs. Freeman. Olivia will not come between me and Johnny!"
She gritted her teeth and left.
After a while, John asked, "Are you hungry? I'll buy you something to eat."
"Yes, get me some buns. We can eat them together."
"Okay, I'll get some for you."
"I want those with jam inside."
"I know. I remember what you like. Wait for me."
The gentle words and casual conversation brought tears to Olivia's eyes.
This used to be her and Johnny's daily life. Everything would have been fine if Dorothy had not appeared. She would not have fallen ill.
The doctor said she would live longer if she was in a positive state of mind. Maybe she could live until the baby was born now.
Olivia was dreaming of all those beautiful things.
Before, she did not want to tell John about the cancer because she was afraid he would not believe her. However, it seemed she had been overthinking. Twenty minutes later, John came up from downstairs. Just as he reached the ward door, a nurse approached him and stopped him..
"Mr. Freeman, this is your wife's report."
John took it and glanced at it. Then, he quickly noticed a problem. "Isn't my wife suffering from lung. cancer?"
"Lung cancer? No, your wife is only suffering from pneumonia. Didn't the doctor say it was pneumonia?"
John crumbled the paper in his hand and glared at the nurse coldly. "The other nurse just said it was lung
cancer!"
The nurse was startled but quickly calmed herself down. "Just now? Oh, the nurse you're talking about. has been fired because she took bribes and was dishonest." John clenched his teeth, and anger shot through him. He smashed the bag of buns and shouted, "Get
lost!"
The nurse left at once.
He rushed into the ward and pulled a smiling Olivia from her bed. Despite her injuries, he pushed her against the wall.
"Olivia, how dare you lie to me!"
"What? What are you talking about, Johnny?"
"How dare you ask someone to lie to me about lung cancer when it was pneumonia! Are you looking for trouble?"
He put his hand around her neck.
"I- I didn't...lie."
Tears rolled down Olivia's cheek. She was crying because she had been happy just now, but her tears of joy did not last long.
The time of pleasure was so short that it seemed like everything just now had been a dream. Her Johnny
was gone.
John wanted to strangle her to death. He did not hold back any strength. "Well. Since you want to die so much, I'll kill you now and take your ashes." "Ahem... Please stop!"
However, John was stronger, and Olivia could not break herself free.
At this moment, Dorothy ran into the ward, limping. Seeing this, she immediately shouted, "Johnny, what are you doing? Olivia is suffering from lung cancer."
