Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1354

Molly didn't fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she would see that vivid red color.

Olivia gave her an acupuncture treatment as usual. "I know you're not sleeping."

Opening her eyes, Molly looked a little lost. "Olivia, have I done something wrong?"

"Yes." Olivia inserted the needles as she said calmly, "Your fault is in your meekness, and you're also too kind."

"Olivia…"

Meeting her eyes, which were as pure as a child's, Olivia sighed. "Back then, I decided to save you because of the look in your eyes. You remind me of my past self.

"I used to think that I could be happy if I treated everyone kindly, but the world doesn't work like that. Sometimes, the more you care about others, the more likely they'll take advantage of you.

"Your weakness will bring you trouble, and it'll also bring misfortune to the people around you."

When Olivia said that, she recalled Mona's face when she died in front of her. If Olivia had been a little stronger back then, she wondered if she could have changed the ending.

So many years had passed since then. Mona might have gotten married and had kids by now instead of losing everything and spending eternity in the grave.

"Olivia, what should I do?"

"Stop trying to help people and respect their fates. Don't show them needless compassion. Think of yourself and the child you had who never got to see the light of day.

"You have to be a little cruel to protect yourself and your family, alright?"

Olivia just didn't want Molly to repeat the same mistakes. Her excessive kindness would only be used against her in the end.

Molly touched her flat belly. Just a few days ago, there was still a tiny life inside her, but now, that life was gone.

She began to think about Olivia's words. If she weren't so weak, and if she were a little more assertive, would the child have survived?

"Don't think about things that have already happened. You should rest and recuperate. Your utmost priority is to recover."

"Thank you, Olivia."
