Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Ever since she had been kicked out of the hospital that morning, Olivia had no choice but to rely on oral medication to ease her pain.
At the hospital, specialists had been administering her treatment daily, so the amount of prescribed medication she could take hwas limited.
The medicine they brought back today would only last for two days.
And it did not seem to be working well. Since returning home, Olivia had barely eaten anything all day.
The pain was unbearable; she simply could not eat.
After Olivia was officially discharged that morning, Catlin immediately called Tyler and Chad. However, neither of them returned until the evening.
Chris also knew that Olivia had been discharged, yet he still had not shown up. When Catlin called him, Grace answered again.
As expected, Grace lashed out at her over the phone, not holding back in the slightest.
Tyler's face darkened with rage as he gritted his teeth. "So now, there isn't a single hospital in all of Long Harbor willing to admit Olivia? Not even a doctor willing to do a house call?" 'Stephanie, you are ruthless. Attacking the company was one thing, but now you are even interfering with Olivia's treatment?' he wondered.
The Hart family might have been indifferent to Stephanie over the past two years, but they had not done anything unforgivable. And yet, Stephanie was being this cruel to them.
Catlin nodded, her expression suffocated with frustration. "Yes. Stephanie is not just trying to destroy the company; she wants Olivia dead." "There is not a single doctor in Long Harbor willing to cto the house. Even our family doctor has resigned." Her tone was filled with hatred toward Stephanie as she spoke.
Stephanie refused to acknowledge Catlin as her mother, and now she was trying to force Catlin's adopted daughter into a dead end. She was utterly ruthless.
Tyler clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. “Then we will send Olivia abroad for treatment." Catlin and Chad were momentarily stunned.
The moment Tyler suggested sending Olivia abroad for treatment, everyone realized it was a good idea.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEver since Olivia returned, Stephanie had been turning the world upside down. If they sent Olivia away, perhaps Stephanie would finally stop causing trouble.
Chad nodded firmly. "Then let's get her out of here as soon as possible." Truth be told, he had never supported Olivia's return in the first place. When Olivia called and said she was sick, his first suggestion had been to let her receive treatment abroad.
But Catlin had insisted on bringing Olivia back, thinking it would be easier to take care of her in Long Harbor.
Had he known that bringing Olivia back would lead to this, Chad would never have agreed, no matter what.
1/4 Chapter 156 Upon thinking about the company's current losses, Chad's face turned even grimmer.
And now, he was beginning to realize that the Olivia they had raised might not be as simple as they had always believed.
Chad looked at Tyler. "You handle this." Tyler nodded. "Alright." The family discussed their plan to send Olivia away.
Just before they finished, Chad received an urgent call from the company and had to leave first. Before leaving, Chad told Tyler to stay at hfor the night. Tyler was worried about Olivia, so he agreed without hesitation.
He headed to Olivia's room. In just one day, she looked even more frail.
"Tyler, you are finally back. Her voice was choked with emotion, filled with grievance.
After all, when Olivia had been in the hospital, both Tyler and Chris had been by her side. But now, after coming home, the house was cold and quiet.
Catlin, in her panic, was completely helpless. She had not even managed to find a doctor. Olivia felt like she was going to die from the pain.
Seeing her in this state, Tyler stepped forward. "Did you take your medicine?" He did not even need to ask how she was feeling. Just by looking at her face, he knew it was bad.
Olivia gasped for breath. "Tyler, it hurts. It really hurts. The medicine is useless. Am I going to die?" The pain was unbearable. Catlin kept telling her to eat something, but she physically could not.
Tyler reassured her. "You won't. Don't say such foolish things." "But it really hurts. I cannot eat anything at all." Tears rolled down Olivia's face as she pleaded, "Can you find a specialist to chere and check on me?" She was in agony. She could not take it anymore. The medicine they brought hfrom the hospital was ineffective without IV treatment.
Tyler froze for a moment. Hearing Olivia request a house call from a doctor, he felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
He had not expected Stephanie to have this much power to push the entire Hart family to the brink in just a few days.
"I will arrange for you to go abroad as soon as possible. Once you are there, you will be able to stay in a hospital directly," said Tyler.
None of them had expected Stephanie to escalate things this far to the point where getting Olivia admitted to a hospital in Long Harbor had beca luxury.
Olivia's pupils trembled. "Go abroad?" Tyler nodded. "Yes. The situation in Long Harbor is complicated right now. Mom has called every doctor she could, but no one is willing to come." "The Lucano family is really willing to go this far for Stefi? But she's just an adopted daughter, isn't she? How did she manage - Olivia suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
'No, I can't let Tyler and the others start overthinking things about Stephanie, she thought to herself. 'If they go looking for trouble with Stephanie now, the one who will end up suffering the most is me.
2/4 Chapter 156 But Tyler had already started overthinking it. 'Yeah, just an adopted daughter, and yet she made Mr. Giovanni go this far against the Hart family? What did she do?' he wondered.
Thinking about the current situation in Long Harbor, Olivia finally nodded. "Alright, I'll go abroad." In the end, she chose to compromise, 'Stephanie, just you wait. Once I get better, I'll deal with you properly, she thought.
Tyler nodded, "I'll start making arrangements right away." After exchanging a few more words, Tyler left the room.
Once Olivia was alone, a fierce look flashed across her eyes. "Stephanie, you are something else." 'If I weren't sick right now, would she have had the chance to do this to me? Just wait. Once I recover, I will make sure she dies, she wondered.
***** In the Shallow Bay Area, Stephanie looked pitifully at Sebastian. The entire process of applying the medicine had not been pleasant for her.
To call it applying medicine was an understatement; it felt more like flirting.
"What are you still doing here?" Stephanie muttered when she saw that Sebastian had not left.
Her face was burning red. The whole process just now had been way too embarrassing.
The last thing she wanted at this moment was to face Sebastian; she just wanted to be alone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Sebastian showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he took off his outer robe, leaving only his silk sleepwear underneath.
Then, he turned around and got into bed. "I'm going to sleep." Stephanie froze. 'Wait, what does he mean? He's going to sleep with me? Hold on,' she wondered.
"Wait, you-" She stammered.
Sebastian looked at her. "Is there a problem?" Stephanie was at a loss for words.
Thinking back to dinner, when he had kissed her in the billiard room in front of so many people, she felt even more embarrassed.
Their relationship had shifted from growing up as siblings to this. She was shocked by how quickly he had accepted it.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing her silent, Sebastian reached out and pinched her nose.
Stephanie hesitated. “I was just thinking are we really okay like this?" She rubbed her hands together, her tone cautious.
Sebastian's expression was calm. "What would be the problem?" Stephanie was stunned. Of course, there was a problem.
3/4 Chapter 156 Last night and early this morning, she had acted impulsively and just thrown herself into it.
But now, looking back, she felt terrified. Everyone in Fiorenza saw them as siblings. Now that she thought about it, she fes like a coward.
Even though they were not related by blood, Sebastian's identity made her nervous. She was truly afraid that their relationship would have consequences for him.
'm For the past two years in Long Harbor, she had lived recklessly, never caring what people thought of her or how Olivia had ruined her reputation. Because none of those people mattered. But when it cto Sebastian, she was afraid of public opinion. She was afraid of the cruel words that might be directed at him.
She did not care what people said about her, but she did not want anyone, anything, to hurt him.
"Stefi?" Seeing her remain silent, Sebastian pulled her into his arms. With a swift movement, he flipped her over, pressing her head against his chest.
His deep, soothing voice had a One unique calming effect on her. er "This morning, you were the one insisting that I take responsibility for you. What's wrong now, hmm?" "Sebastian, you know, public opinion is terrifying?" Stephanie's voice was tight with anxiety, When it cto Sebastian, she could never hide her thoughts. Even if she tried, he always had a way of making her spill everything effortlessly.
