Chapter 1065
“Pheebs…”
Kate’s voice suddenly interrupted Olivia’s thoughts. Olivia turned around, patted the edge of her bed, and gestured to Kate. “Come, sit. Let’s talk.”
Kate sat down carefully. “I… I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have…”
“Are you talking about you testing if I was Olivia?”
Kate bit her lips and nodded.
Olivia chuckled as she watched Kate’s response. “I actually don’t mind you testing me.”
Kate was surprised. “Really?”
“Of course, but…”
After hearing her unfinished sentence, Kate swallowed her saliva nervously as she stared intently at Olivia, so afraid that she would have a change of mind and be mad at her.
“You shouldn’t have lied to me, saying that you don’t remember anything.”
“I…”
Olivia tugged at Kate’s hand. “I know you were overwhelmed at that time. You were worried, afraid, and anxious about too many things, so you didn’t dare to let me know. But do you know that it’s precisely because you hid those things from me that something horrible nearly happened?”
Then, Olivia sighed. “What if Oliver killed the both of you? What do you think me and Ken would do?
“My brother made his sister die, and for that, not even I could forgive myself for that. And let’s not even talk about Ken.” Olivia smiled at Kate. “At that time, I could only exchange a life for a life and give my life back to Ken.”
With that, Kate was so shocked her pupils constricted as she looked at Olvia incredulously, her lips trembling. “Pheebs…”
“I’m not hiding the fact that I’m Olivia from you because I don’t trust you. It’s just that… It would be safer for you if you didn’t know.”
Kate bit her lip and held Olivia’s hand tightly as she felt guilty.
If she was less paranoid, Pheebs would probably have not gotten hurt.
Suddenly, she remembered something and lifted her head abruptly. “Pheebs, does John know about your real identity?”
Olivia nodded. “Yes, he does.”
“Then, how can Hera call you a mistress? She’s the mistress!”
Kate yelled angrily, “No, John is the bigger jerk here. He owes you so much. How can he even let Hera hurt you like this? No, that’s not right…”
She seemed to have connected the dots for something that was nearly impossible and stared wide-eyed at Olivia. “Pheebs… Is Lyla… Is Lyla John’s daughter?”
Looking at how Kate could fit eggs in her mouth with how wide open it was, Olivia could not hold in her laughter.
Kate was frustrated and shook Olvia’s arm vigorously. “Is it true?”
Olivia held her laughter in, and a dash of loneliness flashed in her eyes as she nodded. “Yes. It’s true.”
“Oh heavens!”
Kate was so shocked she shot to her feet and covered her mouth incredulously. “How did I not notice anything? It’s been so long…”
After a while, she leaned in again to ask, “Does John know?”
Olivia nodded and shook her head after. “I’m not sure.”
“Not sure? If even I can guess it, what else could he not be sure about?”
Olivia laughed bitterly. “He suspected me of having an affair four years ago, so I’m not sure if he truly believes that Lyla is his. Also… I don’t wish for Lyla to know about him.”
Sometimes, she thought that if John felt that Lyla was not his, he would have another child immediately.
Even if he were to acknowledge that Lyla was his, he would probably not give Lyla any fatherly love.
At the same time, a man leaned by the wall outside the door, a frown on his face. He cradled his right abdominal area and sighed painfully with his head lifted high.
