Olivia watched the entire thing happening right in front of her. She frowned as she couldn't speak even when she wanted to. She could only pray secretly…..she could only pray that her mother did not chase away her father who had just returned home!
"If you…..if you really take us as your family, please stop causing more problems for us!"
Emilia gave an ultimatum, "If you can't do so, you should leave right now!"
She was indeed touched by what he did, but as she calmed down, she started thinking about reality.
Oliver Walker lowered his head. It was pointless for him to argue now. It would only make things worse!
However, Emilia felt even angrier when Oliver did not say a single thing. She was about to explode in rage...
"Ummmmm..."
Olivia suddenly gripped her blanket, and she looked like she was in a lot of pain.
She should have been allowed a quiet place to recover after the surgery, but from the moment she woke up, she never got to rest properly.
The pain from the wound and also the emotions she was suppressing inside her caused cold sweats to appear all over her forehead.
"Olivia!"
Oliver and Emilia quickly turned around and called for their child simultaneously.
However, when Oliver tried to get closer to his child, his wife stopped him.
Emilia kneeled on the ground as she held her daughter's hand. She was asking frantically, "Olivia, where….where does it hurt?
"Tell mummy, how would I be able to make you feel better?
"If I could, I wish I would be the one suffering!"
Her heart ached!
It was really painful indeed!
The torment from the disease was irreplaceable!
Whenever her daughter was in pain, Emilia felt the same as well. The intense pain felt like hundreds of ants nibbling her heart.
But….she felt helpless!
There was nothing she could do!
She could only stare at her daughter as tears rolled down her cheeks!
Oliver Walker stood behind her as he clenched his fist!
Wouldn't it be great if he wasn't injured?
If he could treat his own daughter, why would she still be in so much pain?
The atmosphere in the room turned from coldness to sadness. It was only a brief moment, and it felt completely different now.
"Mummy..."
Olivia's body was trembling as she spoke in a soft voice, "Please…..I beg you. Stop fighting. Stop fighting and I would no longer feel the pain."
"I just…..want mummy to hold me to sleep."
The entire room turned quiet once again!
No matter if it was Oliver or Emilia, none of them thought that these words could come out of the mouth of a 7-year-old child.
It was unexpected, but it made sense!
She had waited through several winters and summers. She waited for years and finally found her father. However, all she had gotten since then were arguments. Why wouldn't she be affected by it?
"Sure….."
Emilia nodded her head repeatedly as she slowly caressed her daughter's head. "Olivia, you're the best. I'll be right here to watch you sleep..."
"Mummy will always be here.
"I will always be by your side!"
Olivia slowly smiled even when she was in a lot of pain.
She slowly closed her eyes as she remembered how her mother said that once she fell asleep, she would no longer be able to feel the pain.
Oliver Walker took a deep breath. He couldn't sit or stand. He suffered in guilt and remorse for the entire night.
...
The next morning!
"Have you gotten everything arranged?"
William Davis, who had been admitted to the hospital as well, started screaming at the top of his lungs as soon as he woke up.
"I want them to suffer!
"I want them to regret it for the rest of their lives!
"This was the consequence of offending me! They did this to themselves!"
After getting badly beaten last night, he was still in a lot of pain, especially after how screaming at the top of his lungs had caused him more internal injuries...
