I’m Someone Else

Chapter 91

After dealing with the Pearsons all these years, Olivia came to realize one thing. Thank goodness my mother came from a prominent family too, or otherwise, Grandpa Harrison’s words would’ve fallen on deaf ears!

Olivia shook her head. “I’m tired, Ophelie. I’m going to sleep.”

She lay down in bed and covered her head with the blanket.

“Sigh…”

Ophelie sighed. She wanted to get Olivia to change her mind so that they could move in with Harrison. Their lives here would only get worse once Gavin was back. However, Olivia’s mind was made up. She was determined to stay, so what could Ophelie do? She wasn’t going to leave her sister here and move in with her maternal grandfather alone.

She knew that Norman would be warier with her around, but if Olivia was alone in this house, Norman and Yukine would abuse her. There’s also Gavin…

Ugh. Fine. I’ll just stay here with Olivia and see what happens. No matter what happens, if anyone hurts Olivia, I’ll rip them to pieces! I don’t care who it is!

What Ophelie didn’t know was that Olivia wasn’t asleep. She was crying under the covers.

What on earth should I do? If we move in with Grandpa Harrison, it’ll only start a conflict between him and the Pearsons. Regardless of how the Pearsons treat me, I’m still part of the family. Things aren’t looking too good for the Pearsons right now. I can’t cause even more trouble for them at a time like this. But… if we don’t move in with Grandpa Harrison… I know what Gavin’s like. Will there even be a place for us in this family?

Although Norman was a little wary of Ophelie, Gavin was always an obnoxious person who submitted to nothing and no one. There’s no way Ophelie can scare him!

Right now, Olivia fervently wished she had a house of her own. That way, she could flee to her own house and ignore all of these frustrating matters!

Unfortunately, she didn’t have one. Her father had taken away the apartment she was staying in previously.

Meanwhile, the three hitmen that the Xalmars hired arrived at Prescott Hospital. They located Adam’s room. According to the information the butler had given them, Chloe spent her evening waiting on her father until late at night.

However, Adam’s room was empty. There was no living thing in sight, not even a fly!

“Where is she?” one of the men piped up in puzzlement.

“There’s no rush. She couldn’t have escaped! We just need to wait!”

The man in charge closed the door to the room and sat on the bench in the hallway to wait in silence.

Even after an hour, there was still no sign of Adam and Chloe. The leader of the three didn’t think they could wait around any longer. Their orders had been to haul Chloe’s body back within two hours, but half their time had been used up, and there was still no sign of Chloe. He was beginning to fret.

“Call the butler. Don’t tell me they’ve left the hospital without us knowing.”

One of the men immediately called the butler.

“The butler said the woman’s sickly father hasn’t been discharged from the hospital. He told us to carry on looking for her, and that if we don’t bring her body back to the house, we’ll have to bring our own

instead…”

The leader froze. They had no choice but to look for Chloe. After checking with the nurse at the desk, they found out that Adam was indeed still in the hospital. They were absent from the room because Adam was doing one final check-up before leaving the hospital tomorrow!

The leader exhaled in relief. It didn’t matter where their target was as long as she was still under their noses. They could just head over to wherever she was and kill her right away!

Having made up their minds, the three men ran toward the examination room.

Outside the examination room, Chloe was leaning against the wall. She looked weak and pale.

I need to stay strong! Dad hasn’t been discharged from the hospital yet. Chloe felt another dizzy spell coming over her and her body trembled. She chuckled bitterly. I wonder how things are between Thomas and that Molly woman now. He’s the only man I’ve ever fallen in love with. I can’t bear to part with him. Will he be sad if I die?

I wonder how Zachary’s doing in Africa. When can he come home? Zachary, when I’m gone, you’ll have to take care of Dad. You need to be kind and patient with him. He worked hard to raise us. It wasn’t easy for him.

Amid her wild thoughts, she began to feel an intense pain in her chest.

“Cough!” She started coughing, and every cough made her feel as if her chest was being ripped apart.

In the end, her frail body couldn’t take it anymore. Everything turned black and she slumped to the ground.

The hospital was full of people, many of whom exclaimed when Chloe fainted outside the examination room.

“Someone fainted!”

“Quick! Call the nurse!”

“Doc! Over here, doc! There’s an unconscious person over here!”

The noise could be heard inside the examination room too. Adam, who was done with this check-up, heard the noise and felt an inexplicable sense of panic. He rushed out of the room to see what was going on.

True enough, it was his daughter who was lying unconscious on the floor.

“Chloe!” Adam rushed over and grabbed her shoulders before he started to shake her. “Wake up, Chloe! Don’t scare me!” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

No matter how loudly he screamed, Chloe showed no sign of stirring.

At last, he was reminded of something. Chloe had been taking care of him all this while and though his condition showed steady improvement, she started looking sicklier and paler with each passing day. He often asked her if she felt alright and she would always say she was just a little tired, but why would she faint if that were all?

Chloe has to be sick! That has to be the reason why! Adam panicked. “Doctor! Come quick, doctor!”

“What’s the matter?” Quincy had been inside the examination room taking a look at Adam’s medical report. It was a simple check-up that didn’t require the presence of the hospital director, but he knew that Adam was Thomas’ friend. He was certain that Thomas would be grateful if he took good care of

Adam. He didn’t plan on telling Thomas about it either. That way, once Thomas found out for himself, he would feel even more grateful.

However, he was only halfway through the report when he heard Adam’s shouts and rushed out.

Quincy saw Adam cradling Chloe in his arms. He went over and put his finger beneath Chloe’s nostrils, and his expression turned extremely grim.
