Chapter 893 Fly Away
Bryan nodded, looking at Lawrence with admiration. "Lawrence, you really trust Rodriguez's smarts, huh?
Rock thinks he's slick, thinking Rodriguez would investigate him. That currency exchange was just a decoy!
But he didn't count on Rodriguez doing the opposite.
Ishara's probably hiding out in AquaVista Continent.
But, Lawrence, AquaVista is huge. How are you gonna find her without more clues?"
Lawrence made up his mind. "This is about Winnie. Even if I don't know how to find her, I have to try.
I have no idea what kind of scheme they're running. There's a kid in Ishara's womb. Even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, I have to drag her out and end things with Rock and her!"
Oscar ran over, saying nothing, and silently hugged Lawrence's leg.
Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction. At least Lawrence knew that Ishara had fled to AquaVista Continent!
This increased the hope of rescuing his sister.
He was filled with hope.
The next morning, it wasn't even seven o'clock yet.
Winnie opened her eyes groggily and noticed that Olivia was not in the hospital bed. She quickly got up.
She had stayed with her friend last night, making do on the couch, and had only managed to fall asleep halfway through the night.
"Olivia?"
She was uneasy. Since finding out she was pregnant yesterday, Olivia's emotions had been all over the place, especially after the argument with Jeremy, when they had said something they didn't mean.
"Olivia?" Winnie saw that her luggage was still there.
She felt a bit relieved, grabbed her handbag, and walked out of the hospital room, softly calling out as she walked down the corridor.
In the distance, a thin, desolate figure emerged from a department.
Winnie ran over, grabbing her wrist, a bit annoyed. "Why are you running around alone? Your abdomen is uncomfortable, and the pregnancy is unstable."
"Since I'm going to terminate it, it doesn't matter if it's unstable." Olivia smiled at her, looking surprisingly relaxed, her round eyes sparkling.
Winnie knew it was all a facade. If she were truly heartless, her eyes wouldn't show such unease.
She was forcing herself to reject the baby inside her.
She glanced at the obstetrics and gynecology director's office behind her, then at the bank card in Olivia's hand, feeling a chill. "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"
Olivia put the bank card back in her pocket, initially refusing to speak.
Winnie sneered and started to walk past her to find the doctor.
"Nothing, Winnie." She had no choice but to drag the stubborn Winnie back, knowing she would insist on finding out. Olivia bit her lip and reluctantly told her, "I just bribed the doctor to change the pregnancy duration to two months."
"Why?" Winnie didn't understand why she would go to such lengths.
Olivia looked down, gripping her hand tightly. "Since I've already told Jeremy those things, I need him to believe that this child is Sam's."
"I know his personality. He might come back to ask questions if he can't figure it out."
"If he finds out anything, it will only complicate things. I've already spoken to his uncle."
"Winnie, I just want to terminate this child smoothly."
She couldn't even look at her own abdomen as she said this.
Winnie's eyes reddened. "Why are you so stubborn, so determined?"
Olivia smiled bitterly. "Because I wasn't decisive enough before. I harbored foolish crushes and expectations for him, which caused unnecessary suffering.
From him, from Lynn. Only by getting rid of this child can I end things between us."
"After that, I just want to live a peaceful life with Mia. As long as I'm not a burden to Lynn, my parents and Mia will be healthy."
This didn't sound like the fearless Olivia she knew. Life had clearly worn her down.
Jeremy was handsome, had an excellent family background, and had an overwhelming male charm. He and Lawrence stood at the pinnacle of society. Being with someone like that, even staying together, was incredibly difficult. Winnie understood this too well, her eyes glistening with tears.
Olivia didn't want to be pricked by thorns anymore. She had endured three years of such a life and now sought peace. She felt that if Jeremy didn't know about the child, he would remain in the dark forever. She didn't have the courage to give birth, so she wanted her feelings to disappear along with the child. Only she knew how much it hurt inside. It was like cutting off a part of her life.
"Olivia, sometimes you need to understand that running away won't make those who harm you stop! I'm the best example. Did Darcy and Ishara stop? Olivia, leave it to me. I have a plan. I'm just afraid that before you can escape, Lynn and her people will keep pressing."
Olivia hesitated, shaking her head calmly. "As long as I give up on Jeremy and return to a quiet life in Lymington, Jeremy's territory is in Trento City. We won't have any more entanglements."
Winnie widened her eyes. "You want to live in Lymington?"
Olivia lowered her gaze. "In the near future, once I'm ready. My mom said my dad's health isn't great. I plan to withdraw my money, go back to Lymington for a while, and after six months, move to another small city with my parents to start over, completely isolated from all this."
She not only wanted to withdraw from competing with Lynn, but she also wanted to disappear!
Winnie's fingers clenched. Olivia's decision was too sudden. Why did she have to sacrifice so much? She hadn't done anything wrong, yet she wanted to terminate a child...
Winnie didn't agree, but she didn't dare to say anything rashly. She needed to stabilize Olivia's emotions first. At this moment, Winnie desperately wanted to talk to Lawrence, to discuss how to help Olivia and Jeremy, who were at odds.
She didn't comment on Olivia's thoughts, focusing on calming her down. "We'll talk about those things later! Olivia, with me protecting you, why do you need to run away? You're my family. I'll always protect you and your family."
Olivia's eyes sparkled with tears, and she laughed. "You and Lawrence haven't even sorted out your own issues, and you're so busy. I don't want to be the cause of your distraction. We're too different. If someone wants to harm me, I have almost no way to fight back."
"You have me!" Winnie held her shoulders, guiding her back to the hospital room.
Her plan hadn't changed. First, stabilize Olivia, then investigate Sam's paternity test. If it was fake, it meant Jeremy and Mia's situation wasn't simple. Winnie wanted to resolve things smoothly...
For now, she needed Lawrence to persuade Jeremy. Olivia had given up, but Jeremy couldn't. If both of them gave up on each other, this relationship was doomed!
She walked out of the hospital room and immediately called Lawrence. "Lawrence, are you home? I need you to calm Jeremy down. Once he's cooled off, have him come to the hospital to take care of Olivia! Only by continuing to interact can their feelings grow..."
She spoke so quickly that she didn't notice Bryan had answered the call.
Bryan apologized, saying...
