Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

The post–divorce life wasn’t as terrible as Olivia had thought. She rested at home for a few days with Everly’s company. Her best friend prepared nutritious meals for her. Her condition improved.

She did not suffer much from the effects of chemo. She could never be as healthy as her pre–cancer days. But at least her fainting spells had decreased.

The wound on her arm healed, and her hair loss was under control. Everything seemed to be working out for her.

Everly was happy for Olivia. They spent a few nights sleeping side by side. She believed that Olivia would eventually emerge stronger from the trauma as she had stopped sleeping by the baby cot.

Seeing that Olivia was in great condition, Everly suggested, “The class president organized a gathering. Let’s attend it together since we’re both free.”

“I…” Olivia wanted to turn down the invitation but was cut off by Everly.

“Our old classmates are doing pretty well for themselves. Aren’t you looking for a better neurosurgeon? Who knows? Some of our classmates could connect you to people they know.

Everly added, “You always say that you don’t have many days left. That’s more reason not to laze around. It’s good to go out once in a while.”

Everly soon understood Olivia’s worries when she spotted her friend’s troubled expression. Olivia was once the daughter of a wealthy family and a prize student who had a bright future.

Now, Olivia was no longer comparable to their classmates. The Fordhams were bankrupt, and she dropped out of medical school.

“You’re just being self–conscious. Look at me–I’m not embarrassed for dropping out of med school to become the top salesperson. What are you afraid of? You have ten million dollars under your name, so you’re kind of a millionaire. Oh, didn’t that jerk also award you some equity in Miller Group?”

There were a lot of detailed clauses in Olivia’s divorce settlement. Ethan was rather generous in financial compensation.
