Life was just like that. One could never get everything they wanted.
The warm sea wind blew, and Avery coughed a few times.
"Mr. Fordham, what agreement did you have with Mr. Rivera?"
Olivia didn't want to talk about her problems anymore. So, she changed the subject.
"He agreed to treat me when I offered him research funds and the rights to some of my medical products.
"As you know, research takes a lot of money. He's a good researcher, but he's no businessman."
"That's true."
"The stuff he gave Toxic Hive allowed them to make a name for themselves. He would make a fortune if he applied for patents and released his products to the market.
"What about you? What are you going to do?"
"Drag it out for as long as possible. I don't want to hurt Mr. Rivera's feelings, but I don't want to become a cyborg either."
"Have you gotten back with Ethan? I heard that you two had a very serious falling out back then."
Olivia smiled bitterly. "That's true. It's just a relationship I can't get away from."
"Life is short. As long as you're happy, nothing else really matters. It's great that you're still alive."
"You've changed a lot, Mr. Fordham."
"You've changed a lot, too, Olivia. We're acquaintances. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know. Without your help back then, I would never have found my sister's body.'
"That was just a simple favor." Olivia nodded. "Does your family know that you're receiving treatment here, Mr. Fordham?"
She knew how Louis was. His labs are more important than anything. He would never let any outsider know about them.
Avery shook his head. "No. I don't want them to worry. But I've recovered a lot since I left home."
Olivia looked at the clouds in the sky. "Things will get better."
Louis quickly came back with the answer. He found the IP address of the computer the email was sent from.
It was from an illegal internet cafe in a small country.
There were no cameras there, so the identity of the sender couldn't be confirmed.
