The Stolen Life- My Mother Gave My Fiancé to Her Favorite Student novel Chapter 101

But Olivia didn’t last long.

After standing in the rain for two days at Camp Liberty, then enduring the grueling trip to Lakewood County by bus and ox cart, her body was done. Her immune system was shot.

Her face burned, breath came in gasps, and before she could even splash water on her face, she collapsed.

When she woke, she was in bed, a cool washcloth on her forehead.

“You’re up,” Charlie said, perched nervously by her side. “Doc came by. Said you’ve got a bad fever. You need rest.”

Olivia tried to sit up, then froze–she was in fresh clothes. Her eyes flicked to Charlie.

He turned red as a beet. “It wasn’t me I swear! I got Mrs. Clark from next door to help. Doc said your was too high, you needer be changed I didn’t touch you!”

Charlie couldn’t argue. After a slew of warnings, he caved and let her tag along.

The sun was brutal. Sweat soon dripped down Olivia’s face, soaking her clothes. But military drills had taught her to push through worse.

Kneeling in the dirt, pulling weeds, her simple outfit hugged her frame, highlighting her elegance. Her fair skin and sharp features gleamed like a gem in the mud. Nearby villagers whispered to

Charlie.

“Where’d you find a wife like that? She’s a knockout No wedding bash?”

“If I had a girl like her, she wouldn’t lift a finger. You treating her right, Charlie?”
