Chapter 411
1/2
In the end, Chris completed the procedures for Chloe to get discharged. He also made a meal at home. Chloe was extremely weak as she sat in the wheelchair.
She kept calling Marina over the phone. She still missed Marina despite everything.
To not upset Chloe, Chris didn’t tell her the truth.
She had done everything a mother should do. He didn’t want Chloe to leave with regrets.
“Don’t mind her. She has always been a stubborn girl, so maybe she’ll come home in a few days.”
“You’re right.”
Chloe only assumed that Marina hated her as always. So, she didn’t insist much on it.
At the table, Chloe kept telling Ethan to treat Marina well in the future. She told him not to hurt Marina, and that Marina was a good woman.
Suppressing his coldness, Ethan promised to do what she said.
Even though Marina wasn’t present at the meal, Chloe was happy. She even drank some alcohol, and
her face was flushed.
She asked Olivia to watch the sunset with her. She was very talkative.
“Liv, if I knew that I would end up like this, I would’ve treasured the time I spent with you. When your dad wakes up someday, please tell him I’m sorry. I’ve wronged him.”
“Okay.”
“I truly hope that you can be happy. Can you stop blaming Marina for snatching Ethan away? After all, things have already turned out like this. There’s nothing we can change anymore.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t fight with her for a man like that. Since I’ve already given up on him, I won’t look back.”
Chloe looked at Olivia for a long while. Then, she reached out and embraced Olivia. “You’re a good child.”
But this world was unfair. The ones who got hurt were mostly the good ones.
“Mr. Carlton! What did you do? Hurry, call 911.”
Ethan’s gaze was dark. “It’s too late.”
Looking at the two, Chris said, “Olivia, your mother is very timid. She must be so scared to be alone. I have to go with her. When we die, can you please bury us next to each other?”
Olivia knelt beside the two, tears running down her face. “Okay.”
“Ethan, I leave Marina in your hands. The Carltons will have to depend on you too.’
“I understand.”
“Then I have no more regrets. Don’t cry, Olivia. I’m going to see your mom now. Take care.”
With that, he closed his eyes peacefully. Then, he dropped to the ground with Chloe, basked in the warm morning light.
