Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367

Chloe was surprised to see Marina, but her surprise quickly turned into happiness. She had always felt an inexplicable feeling of closeness with her.

“It’s so nice to see you, Marina. Have a seat.”

Marina thought Chloe would hate her after what she did last time. But she didn’t see a speck of anger or blame on Chloe’s face. All she saw was joy.

She put down the fruit basket in her hand and said, “I … I’m here to see you. I didn’t mean to do that last time. I was in a bad mood because I lost a game. That’s why…”

“It’s fine. I was never mad at you. But you shouldn’t hold a grudge against your father. He only slapped you because he lost control. I’ve already given him a talking to.”

Chloe could see the guilt in Marina’s eyes. That was an emotion she had never seen in Marina before.

Marina didn’t speak. She only stared at Chloe’s face, which had slimmed down a lot.

Chloe was undoubtedly a beautiful woman. Marina could still remember the first time they met. Back then, Chloe was youthful and pretty. She was completely different compared to this frail woman on the bed. Even her head of glossy black hair was graying.

“Do you not resent me for what I did?” It wasn’t the first time Marina abused Chloe. She had thought that Chloe was just pretending to put up with her. But who could pretend for over ten years?

Chloe shook her head and said, “Why would I resent you? You’re still just a kid.”

Holding Marina’s hand, Chloe said, “Marina, I know you’ve never liked me. I’ve tried to change your attitude toward me all these years. But I’ve failed, and now I don’t have long to live. Can you do something for me?”

Marina looked like she had a lot on her mind. She said in a listless voice, “What is it?”

“I know your father will be sad when I’m gone. You’re his only daughter. You have to stay by his side and comfort him. Don’t make him angry anymore.

“I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but I’ve treated you like my birth daughter all these years. I had hoped to see you get married, but I don’t think I’ll be able to do that. I’ve prepared presents for when you and Liv get married. I’ve given Liv her share.
