Gillian smiled wryly. The great anger and injustice in her heart stabbed her. Lier gaze turned cold, and she suddenly flared up and rushed toward
Isaac.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you have nothing to say?” She glanced at him ironically as the anger in her heart drowned out her rationality. “We’re both adopted by you. Why should Olivia be doted on? Why should I be inferior to her? Why are you biased? Am I not filial enough?”
At this point, she took two steps back and suddenly sneered. “And Jarron. I was the one who liked him first. I was the one who accompanied him all the time. Why does he only like Olivia? What’s so good about her?” Upon hearing this, Isaac’s heart tightened. His heart ached so much that it almost throbbed. He looked at Gillian sadly. His eyes were filled with heartache. “Gillian, you…”
Before he could finish, Gillian’s sharp voice interrupted him. “Why didn’t she die at the bottom of the cliff? Why did she come back alive? Since she doesn’t want to study medicine and inherit the Smith family’s business, why return?”
Isaac was shocked. He looked up at Gillian as something struck him. His lips kept trembling. “H–How did you know she was at the bottom of the cliff? What did you mean by that?”
Olivia suddenly returned after disappearing for a year. No one knew where she went. All along, Isaac thought she was a rebellious teenager who had gone far away. He never thought that something had happened.
When Gillian returned, she said the same thing to him. She said that Olivia was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk. After that, her luggage, wallet, and phone disappeared, leaving only a note telling them not to look for her.
“Are you curious?” Gillian purposely glared at Isaac with malice in her eyes. “Because I was the one who pushed her down.”
Isaac clutched his chest and staggered back a step.
Seeing this, Gillian’s eyes flashed with joy. “It’s very uncomfortable, right? That cliff is very high. I heard that many people died below. After I pushed her down, I even destroyed her luggage, phone, and wallet. I even faked that she left a letter and left.”

She shook her head and looked mischievous, but her words were scary. I know you have a lot of power, Grandpa, but that’s when you are abroad Your power is limited, and I hid a lot of things. You can’t find her at all.” “Hehe.” She chuckled and strolled to the balcony. She seemed to have hysteria. “Grandpa, it’s all your fault. If you weren’t biased, I wouldn’t have pushed her down. But don’t worry, I’ll atone it. I’ll jump down from there and compensate for what I have done to her!”
At this point, her tone suddenly became sharp. “I want you to live in guilt for the rest of your life. Not only did your favoritism harm Olivia, but it also killed me!”
As she spoke, she suddenly ran towards the balcony, wanting to jump down.
Isaac was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously grabbed her. Isaac felt a sharp pain in his heart as the two of them struggled. Then, he could not breathe properly.
He let go of Gillian and fell to the ground. He held his chest and wanted to breathe, but he could not.
It was a heart attack caused by the shock!
As a doctor, Gillian subconsciously reacted and quickly went to help Isaac, wanting to save him.
The most important thing to save a heart attack was within the four critical minutes. If one missed it, their lives would be in danger.
Gillian ran into the room to get the oxygen tank. She wanted to give Isaac oxygen, but when she walked into the living room and looked at Isaac lying on the ground and breathing hard, she stopped for some reason!
At this moment, her mind was blank. She just stared blankly at Isaac, whose breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and did not move.
If only…
She suddenly clenched her fists and stared at Isaac with red eyes. Seconds ticked by, and time passed… Finally, Isaac collapsed weakly.
The moment he fell, Gillian seemed to have come back to her senses. She suddenly pounced over and pressed on his chest to perform CPR.
She thought, “You can’t die! No! Grandpa, I’m sorry! Please don’t die! Don’t!
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I’m sorry!”

Surrounded by immense grief, Gillian did not notice the slight noise at the door. She was in a state of grief.
Lindsay covered her mouth tightly at the door to prevent herself from making a sound.
She could clearly hear the voices inside through the gap in the door. She had listened to the conversation between Isaac and Gillian clearly and knew about Isaac’s sudden fall.
At that time, she wanted to rush in to save him, but her movements froze for some reason.
She suddenly thought of something.
If… If Isaac died just like that, would the Smith family not be handed over to Olivia?
Previously, she and Olivia just had different thoughts and questioned each other for a while. They ran out because they were angry.
Just because of such a small matter, Olivia had made a fuss and chased her back. She did not want her to be the next head of the family’s trusted aide. She did not respect her. Even her grandfather did not agree to Isaac’s request.
Lindsay’s heart was filled with deep indignation.
What right did she have to be so arrogant and not respect her
grandfather? Wasn’t it just because she was the next head of the family?
If she wasn’t the next family head of the Smith family if she lost everything, would it be… would it be…
Lindsay quickly stopped thinking.
Inside the house, Gillian had already started to call for an ambulance. To avoid being discovered, Lindsay immediately turned around and ran towards the stairwell. She walked up and only stopped after climbing five. to six floors. She sat on the stairs and panted heavily.
She covered her face and felt extremely guilty. Her heart was beating rapidly.
She did not know if what she had done was right or wrong. At this point, she could only comfort herself that it was not her fault. If something happened to Isaac, it would be Gillian’s fault. It had nothing to do with her. She could only watch from the sidelines.
After mentally preparing herself, she sat in the stairwell for a few more hours. She only left when the sky outside was completely dark.

Olivia was half a month later, on the eve of Isaac’s birthday banquet. She could not call him, so she discovered something had happened to her grandfather.
A vegetative state caused by a heart attack.
At the same time, there was also news that Jarron and Gillian would temporarily replace the place of the head of the Smith family as the family head. The Smith family elders of the family decided this. Oh, right, they had already changed their last name to Smith. They were now Jarron Smith and Gillian Smith.
On the other end of the line, Gillian’s tone was casual. “I heard that you’ve returned to the Taylor family. I won’t trouble you with the Smith family. There’s no need to tell you and add to your burden. However, Grandpa raised you, after all. If you have time, come back and see him.
“By the way, send Mr. Yanis and Ms. Blake back. They have to assist Jarron to take over the Smith family as soon as possible!”
When Blake, who was on the phone with her, heard this, he was about to explode. He kept repeating that it was impossible. “Miss, you don’t have to pay attention to her. Yanis and I only acknowledge you. You are the legitimate head of the family. Mr. Smith has already handed the Smith family to you. The ring representing the head of the family is also in your hands. No one can touch your position…”
Olivia waved her hand and ignored Blake. She slowly turned her head to look out the window and played with the button with her fingertips. Then, she suddenly squinted her eyes and exerted force with her fingertips. With a slight poof, the button turned into powder between her fingers.
She lowered her head and blew on it. The powder between her fingers instantly dissipated.
It was best to pray that Grandpa’s accident was an accident. Otherwise, Olivia suddenly looked up with a cold gaze.

Gillian spoke casually on the phone, but as soon as she hung up, she immediately fell onto the sofa. Her body curled up into a ball, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
“Grandpa…”
After a while, she turned to look at Isaac lying on the bed.
Her tone was serious and firm. “Grandpa, I won’t disappoint you. The Smith family will be more glorious in my hands, and strive higher!”
That was the only way to make up for her guilt toward her grandfather and make her feel better.
After being in a daze for a while, she received a call from Tracy.
Gillian immediately sat up straight. There was a gentle expression on her face as he said softly, “Tracy.”
Compared to Gillian’s gentleness, Tracy’s tone was unconcealable anger. “Where’s the prescription? Where’s the prescription?”
After questioning her three times, Tracy’s tone softened. She seemed to realize that her attitude just now was too much, so she eased up and said, “I’m sorry, my attitude was bad, but it’s been so long. Why hasn’t the prescription been brought over?”
Gillian comforted, “Don’t be anxious.”
“Why aren’t you in a hurry?” Tracy’s tone became anxious. “How long has it been? Ten days ago, you said that you would give me the prescription. You said you had just taken over the Smith family and wanted to smooth out Mr. Smith’s things. Once you found the prescription, you would immediately give it to me. Why haven’t you found it after ten days?”
Could it be that this prescription was hidden underground?
Gillian sighed softly. “I know you’re anxious, but Grandpa fell too quickly and didn’t have time to explain many things. Moreover, the prescription is the Smith family’s treasure. It can’t be placed everywhere. Tracy, you have to give me some time.”
Tracy forcefully suppressed her frustration and softened her voice. “I’m not rushing you, but seared salmon with herbed couscous is the Smith Cuisine Hall’s specialty. How can a restaurant operate without its specialty? I know you’re busy here, but you have to understand my difficulties.”

Gillian nodded. “I understand. Tracy, don’t worry. I’ll find the prescription first and send it to you immediately after I find it.”
Satisfied, Tracy chuckled. “That’s great. At that time, our the Smith Cuisine Hall will have more than one signature dish.”
There was a hidden meaning in her words.
“Don’t worry. There are so many recipes for the Smith family. Not to mention a signature dish, there are even five or ten recipes.” After saying that, Gillian thought momentarily and decided to reassure Tracy about the prescription. “I’ll remember your support. If you have anything in the future, tell me.”
Tracy was pleased. “It’s because you’re capable. Mr. Smith fell so quickly. Who else would the Smith family hand over to, if not the two of you? Olivia is young and hasn’t studied medicine. She is not capable enough. I’m definitely on your and Jarron’s side.”
After that, Gillian received a call from Healix Pharmaceuticals’s CEO, Healix. He still wanted the prescription.
After Gillian comforted him, she promised to contact him as soon as she found the prescription.
After hanging up the call, Healix frowned. He was not as optimistic as Tracy. Instead, he had many concerns upon hearing Gillian’s answer.
Lindsay leaned against his grandfather and asked curiously, “Grandpa, what’s wrong? Are you worried that Gillian won’t keep her word?”
Healix shook his head. “I don’t think highly of her.” After all, he was the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. He thought deeper. In his opinion, Gillian was too shallow. Be it medical skills or how she handled things, she was far inferior to Mr. Smith.
If the Smith family was handed over to her, could it really be brought to greater heights?
As for Olivia, he did not know much about her. However, since Isaac was willing to hand the Smith family over to her, it meant that she was capable.
Healix trusted Isaac’s judgment.
“Isn’t there still Jarron?” Lindsay did not mind. “No matter what, he is better than Olivia.”
As she spoke, she pouted unhappily. She was still bearing grudges against Olivia.

Seeing his granddaughter like this, Healix shook his head and swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
At this point, there was no point in saying anything more. He could only
persevere.
At the hospital, after Gillian received two calls, she did not have time to feel guilty. She wanted to go home immediately to find the prescription. Over the past few days, she had already searched the entire house. She had searched everywhere she could think of, but she did not see a single prescription. Olivia was about to return. If she could not find the Smith family’s prescription and stabilize the cunning clansmen of the Smith family, things might change.
Yanis and Blake had high statuses in the Smith family. The other clansmen might be swayed if the two of them firmly supported Olivia. Thinking of this, Gillian did not dare to delay for a moment. She turned Isaac’s room upside down and even knocked on the walls inch by inch to prevent any hidden compartments.
Unfortunately, she didn’t find anything.
Gillian sat on the sofa in disappointment. Her temples throbbed with pain.
She wondered, “Where did Grandpa hide the prescription?”
She got up and wanted to go to the kitchen for a glass of water. When she passed by Olivia’s room, she suddenly stopped.
Could it be… She frowned and turned to push the door open.
Olivia’s room had been empty and covered in dust for a long time.
Gillian covered her nose and frowned as she looked around. Finally, her gaze landed on the bookshelf.
This bookshelf was very large. It had a wall and was filled with books. There were about a thousand books.
Gillian searched for them one by one. She searched from dawn to dusk, but she found nothing. She sat dejectedly on the bed, thinking she must have gone crazy.
Why would Olivia put such an important prescription on the bookshelf? It must be hidden in a secret place. Grandpa’s room did not have a secret compartment. Perhaps Olivia’s room did.
At this thought, Gillian perked up and began to check the bottom of the bed. As her movements were rough, she accidentally knocked off the

pillow, revealing a crumpled notebook underneath.
Gillian frowned. What was this? A diary?
She reached over and took the notepad. On the cover were two cute kittens. It was obvious that they had been bought at a stationery store. She casually flipped open a page and realized many yellowed papers were inside.
This is… Gillian’s heart skipped a beat.
She had found it!
She had found the Smith family prescriptions!
Such an important prescription was actually casually sandwiched in the notebook and placed under the pillow.
On one hand, Gillian was pleasantly surprised to find the ancient prescription, but on the other hand, she felt that it was unfair. Her grandfather had actually given Olivia such an important prescription a few years ago and it was even randomly left behind.
Previously, she had hinted to him several times that she wanted to look at the prescriptions, but Grandpa always avoided the topic and said that it was useless to look at these prescriptions.
Gillian’s heart ached, and she was unwilling to accept this. If Grandpa refused to give it to her, she would take it herself.
She didn’t believe that she couldn’t do what Olivia could do. She knew she was better.
If Olivia could create seared salmon with herbed couscous based on the Smith family recipes, so could she. Moreover, she wanted to be more outstanding than Olivia in every aspect.
With these recipes, she could create a health–nourishing medicinal cuisine and use the Smith Cuisine Hall to increase the Smith family’s reputation. She could also use Healix Pharmaceuticals to produce better medicines than precious pills.
The enthusiasm in Gillian’s heart burned as if she had foreseen a beautiful and glorious future ahead of her.

Chapter 153
Now that she had found the prescription, the most important thing was to deal with Olivia. Olivia already knew that something had happened to her grandfather and would definitely rush over tomorrow.
Gillian frowned in deep thought.
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when Olivia arrived, the first thing she would definitely ask was to take her grandfather away. Since she wanted to take over the Smith family, she would definitely have to hold her grandfather in her hands. Only then would it be legitimate.
Gillian searched through the Smith family’s elders in her mind and speculated which of them would support Olivia. These elders should be here tomorrow.
She had to quickly think of a way to deal with it.
In addition, she had to think of a way to keep Yanis. Besides the hospital, the Smith family’s businesses were in Yanis’s hands. She had to think of a way to get him to his side.
Even if she couldn’t fight for it in a short period of time, she had to make him stay.
As for Blake, Gillian, she had no idea.
Ms. Blake had watched the three of them grow up. On the surface, she treated the three of them equally and doted on them. However, her heart had long been biased toward Olivia.
One sentence from Olivia was more effective than ten sentences from
her.
Gillian only packed her things and went to the hospital after she had planned everything out in her heart. She had to go back to the office.
In the next few days, there would be a tough battle. She had to focus all her attention and focus on the battle. She could not be distracted, so she had to arrange the work in the hospital.
The other colleagues had already gotten off work when she arrived at the office. Only the doctor on duty was still there. When he saw Gillian, he was surprised for a moment. “Why are you here?”
Gillian paused for a moment. Thinking he was asking why she was not getting off work, she smiled and replied, “I’m packing some things. I’ll be back in a while.”

“No!” The colleague doctor quickly shook her head. “I’m asking why you didn’t go to the ward. Your sister is back, Olivia, who received the Lasker Award!”
His eyes it up as if he had seen his idol when he said this.
Gillian was cleaning up the medical records on the table. When she heard her colleague’s words, the hand that was holding the medical records froze for a moment before she slowly turned around. Her pupils constricted. “What… did you say?”
The colleague did not notice anything amiss and repeated, “Olivia is back. She is in Mr. Smith’s ward now.”
Bang!
The document in Gillian’s hand slid down and fell to the ground with a bang!
How could this be? Her expression was stiff, and her heart was beating wildly. She was extremely flustered.
She had already told Jarron to leave in advance. How did Olivia find the hospital? How did she find it?
Was her reaction too fast? Could she have already contacted the Smith family’s elders, and they were all in the ward now?
Gillian was in a daze and could not think of any way to deal with it. She could only rush to the ward first.
She would deal with it when she arrived.
Gillian had been taking deep breaths. She thought she would see a group of elders looking for trouble in the ward and wanted to take her grandfather away. However, when she arrived at the ward, she found that Olivia was alone.
She had no idea what was going on.
Gillian hesitated for a long time.
In the ward, Olivia sat by the bed. She held Isaac Smith’s hand and pressed it against her cheek. Her eyes were red.
Her slender back trembled slightly, revealing a rare trace of vulnerability.
As if sensing Gillian at the door, she tilted her head slightly and asked in a calm voice, “Why aren’t you coming in?”
Upon hearing this, Gillian suddenly clenched her fists. Her chest heaved violently as if she was surging with monstrous emotions.

They had not spoken a word since she pushed Olivia off the cliff six years ago, More accurately, they had not even seen each other.
Five years ago, when Olivia returned, Gillian did not know how to face Olivia due to guilt and fear. She used studying as an excuse to escape overseas and did not meet Olivia at all.
Later, Olivia returned to take the SAT and changed to biology. She did not study medicine and quarreled with her grandfather. She had never returned then.
Therefore, the two of them had not seen each other for so many years. Gillian had fantasized about the situation when the two of them met. She was even prepared to face Olivia’s questions and suffer her beatings and scoldings, but she did not expect it to be so calm.
It was as if nothing had happened in the past. There was no indifference, no questioning, and no condemnation. There was only calmness.
She walked stiffly into the ward and closed the door. She said bitterly, “When did you arrive?”
Olivia put Isaac Smith’s arm under the blanket and tucked him in before turning back unhurriedly. “I was here by noon.”
Noon?
Gillian was shocked. Didn’t that mean that she had arrived not long after the call ended?
She frowned subconsciously and said defensively, “How did you find this place? Why didn’t you tell me? The elders in the clan have already handed the Smith family to me and Jarron. From now on, I’ll be in charge of the Smith family’s matters.”
“Okay.” Olivia’s voice was calm. She did not sound as agitated or indignant as Gillian expected. It was as if she did not care about the Smith family at all.
The calmness was unexpected, making Gillian feel like she was punching
cotton.
She took a deep breath and looked up at Olivia with a vigilant expression. She asked again, “How did you find this place? How did you know that Grandpa was here?”
“I contacted the hospital director,” said Olivia.
Although Isaac was the director of the hospital, he did not manage the hospital. The vice director managed everything in the hospital.

So it was Mr. Arthur!
Gillian heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she frowned and asked, “Why didn’t you contact me directly? Why did you have to look for someone else?”
Previously, Olivia’s expression was indifferent. No one could tell her emotions other than the slightly red corners of her eyes. Only when she heard Gillian’s words did her expression change slightly.
She looked up at Gillian with a surprised expression. “If I contact you, will you let me see Grandpa?”
Gillian was at a loss for words. She won’t let Olivia visit him easily. But that was what she expected from Olivia. Normal people would contact her first and ask where her grandfather was.
Olivia said calmly, “Since I can’t visit grandpa, why should I contact you?” She did not like to waste time. She was used to getting straight to the point. At that time, the most important thing was to see her grandfather. If she contacted Gillian, she would definitely make excuses. She was too lazy to waste time. She went straight to the point and found Mr. Arthur. The first thing she did was to visit Isaac.
She had to visit her grandfather as soon as possible before she could take his pulse and understand his condition.
As for other messy matters, she did not care at all.
Gillian was stunned for a long time before she retorted, “You’re thinking too much. How can I not let you visit Grandpa? We grew up together, after all. Even if there’s any conflict, I won’t stop you at this time. You…” She wanted to add a few more words, but Olivia had already calmly admitted, “Yes, I was thinking too much.”
Gillian was speechless.
The words of explanation were stuck in her mouth.
She felt that all her previous preparations were in vain. Olivia did not react according to her plan at all.
Chapter 154
Isaac was in trouble. Olivia was initially suspicious. After all, Gillian had been hiding it for so many days.
However, after coming over to check on his grandfather’s body, the suspicion in Olivia’s heart was dispelled. It was indeed a vegetative state caused by a myocardial infarction. He was not drugged or was in this state because of anyone. According to Mr. Arthur, her grandfather’s illness suddenly acted up at noon when he was alone at home. Fortunately, Gillian came back in time and inserted a ventilator. He was saved immediately.
Otherwise, not to mention being in a vegetative state, he would even lose his life.
Gillian did indeed want the Smith family and pushed her off the cliff. She had schemed and tampered with taking over the Smith family but was still filial to her grandfather.
At this thought, Olivia’s heart softened, and there was a hint of warmth on her face. “There are so many things going on at home. Grandpa can’t be left alone. I’ve already called Mr. Yanis back. He’ll take care of Grandpa from now on.”
Gillian was stunned.
She was thinking of a way to keep Yanis. She had already thought of a few ways to use filial piety to suppress him, use the pressure of the elders, or use benefits to induce him. In the end, before she could say anything, Olivia had already said that she wanted to keep Yanis by Isaac’s side. She was stunned for a moment and did not say anything for a long time. Olivia said calmly, “I’ll stay here to accompany Grandpa. If you have something to do, go ahead.”
Gillian walked toward the door. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around, and her gaze landed on Olivia’s slender back. She suddenly felt sorry for Olivia.
Olivia was probably sad!
She had just fallen out with her biological parents, and her grandfather, who had always doted on her, suddenly fell seriously ill. Wave after wave of blows hit her. At this moment, she must be extremely sad.
Having taken over the Smith family and found the prescription, Gillian
1/2

felt like she had taken a calming pill. Once one lived a good life and was in a superior position, their heart would soften, and they would easily pity the poor and the weak.
At this moment, her grandfather was lying on the bed in a vegetative state. She had completely calmed down. In fact, there was no conflict between her and Olivia.
Everything started because Grandpa was biased. Olivia didn’t do anything wrong.
Gillian even thought that when she completely took over the Smith family, she would consider dividing Olivia industries. She could forget about the Smith family’s prescriptions and herbs, but she could still divide some of the other industries.
Gillian was not someone who valued wealth as much as her life. She was even a little indifferent to money.
She just couldn’t take it that she was not the one being doted on.
As soon as she came out of the room, she met a panting nurse as she ran over. “Gillian, bad news. The young girl in Ward 3034 is bleeding profusely!”
“Why is there a hemorrhage?” Gillian frowned and ran over. “Wasn’t the surgery successful?”
In a few days, this young girl would be discharged from the hospital. Why would she bleed so much?
The nurse was furious. “It’s all because her patriarchal grandmother only cared about her grandson and ignored the young girl, causing her to be knocked down by a car and her spleen to rupture. I went over to take a look just now. Her grandmother brought her grandson to see the young girl. I don’t know what happened, but she insisted that the young girl get out of bed to play with her grandson.”
“Isn’t this nonsense!” The more the nurse spoke, the angrier she became. “The young girl’s wound hasn’t healed yet. How can she get out of bed and play?”
After Gillian went over, she tried to rescue the girl for a long time before stopping the bleeding and bandaging her wound again.
After taking off her surgical gown, her body was about to collapse. She leaned against the wall for a while before walking toward the ward.
In the ward, the grandson was running around. The grandma didn’t care

Gillian frowned. She worried the grandson would bump into the little girl, so she waved at him. “Little kid, can you be quiet for a while?”
The lite boy looked up at Gillian with an unruly expression. “No, I want to play.”
Gillian pursed her lips. “Your sister is sick and needs to rest. Can you be quiet for a while? Don’t touch your sister.”
“No.” The little boy refused immediately. Then, he ran over to hold the little girl’s hand as if it were a matter of course. “Get up. Get up quickly and play with me!”
His actions were rough, and he did not care if the little girl was injured. Seeing this, Gillian’s heart almost leaped out of her chest. She immediately asked his grandmother to take the little boy away.
Grandma was a little unhappy, but she knew the severity of the matter. She pulled the little boy away reluctantly.
Gillian then left the ward and leaned against the wall. She looked at the little boy’s back and suddenly sneered.
She was mocking herself. She was mocking herself for actually sympathizing with Olivia and actually thinking that Olivia was right. What a joke!
Was it really right to be biased? Could it be that they really did not notice that they were being biased?
She was just pretending to be confused. She clearly enjoyed all the favor and obtained the greatest benefits. In the end, she only said that she didn’t know and didn’t notice. She pushed all the blame away.
It was really easy to get away with things by putting on an act.
Gillian felt that she did not need to feel guilty at all, let alone pity Olivia. Her grandfather adopted them, so why should Olivia be special?
She was also her grandfather’s granddaughter. She could also learn the Smith family’s miraculous treatments and inherit the Smith family. She would be more outstanding than Olivia and lead the Smith family to the next level.
She had already found the Smith family’s prescription and the Smith family’s miraculous treatments. As long as she was given some time, she would definitely be able to learn it well and treat those big shots,

becoming the world’s top doctor.

At that time, Olivia could only look up at her from under her feet and could not compare to her anymore!
Thinking of this, Gillian was very pleased with herself. She felt that her previous pity was ridiculous. In the past, when her grandfather brought Olivia to meet those big shots, Olivia always went over happily alone and never said that she wanted to bring her and Jarron.
Her grandfather also hired the violin master. Olivia knew that she also liked the violin and wanted to find a famous master to guide her, but she did not say a word for her. She did not let the master guide her at all.
Instead, she kept showing off in front of her.
If she learned any new finger techniques or had any new insights, she would run to her and show off.
There was also painting. Olivia learned painting from a great teacher and sketched everywhere. In the end, she advised her not to learn painting and said that she shouldn’t bite off more than she could chew. She might as well focus on learning the medical and violin.
It was really funny. They were both humans and adopted by their grandfathers. Why was she the only one who was smart and had such a sense of superiority?!
Gillian couldn’t compare to her!
Recalling the past, Gillian suddenly felt a sense of hostility in her chest. Those ridicule and neglect were like brands that were deeply engraved in her heart. Every time she thought of it, her heart burned with pain. She did not owe Olivia anything and felt that she had done her best. In the future, she would not ridicule and ostracize Olivia, nor would she embarrass Olivia because of her high status. However, she would not support her.
That was it. They drifted apart, doing what they wanted to do. They had nothing to do with each other.

Chapter 155
Olivia stayed in the hospital for three days. On the third day, Blake came over with a mysterious guest.
The ward door was pushed open, and a small head popped in first.
It was actually Andrew!
The little guy had short chestnut–colored hair and was wearing a bright yellow down jacket and sneakers. He was like a ray of sunlight that suddenly shone into the ward, driving away all the gloom and depression.
Seeing Olivia, the little guy immediately pounced over and hung on Olivia’s leg. The smile on his face was as bright as the sun.
He really missed Olivia. He wished he could turn into bubble gum and stick to Olivia.
“Why are you here?” Olivia touched the little boy’s curly hair.
She wondered if this was a new hairstyle. If she took a closer look, she could still smell the medicine.
Was Olivia looking at his hair? Andrew was a little embarrassed. He revealed the shyness of a child and blushed. “I’m worried about you, Olivia. I came to accompany you.”
After saying that, he looked up and secretly glanced at Olivia. His beautiful eyes were filled with worry. “Olivia, don’t be sad.
Great–grandfather will get better soon.”
Daniel had told him about Isaac. Andrew did not quite understand what a vegetable was. However, he knew what a plant was. A vegetable should be a person turning into a plant.
He held Olivia’s hand and comforted him. “Don’t be afraid. Let’s water Great Grandpa more and bask in the sun. He’ll be fine soon.”
Olivia pursed her lips and rested her chin on Andrew’s head. Her
expression became gentle. “Yes, water more and bask in the sun. He’ll be fine soon.”
At this moment, Blake came in and explained, “Mr. Sullivan knew that I was coming, so he brought Andrew over. He said that Andrew wanted to accompany you.”
At first, Blake did not want to take care of Andrew After all

was sick, and things were still chaotic on the Smith family’s side. How could he have the time to take care of a child? But on second thought, Mr. Smith had fallen, and Gillian must be sorrowful to have plotted to snatch the Smith family. Olivia must be sad. With Andrew accompanying him, she should be better, so he brought him over.
The nanny, Zoe Carter,and the secretary, Zoila, were waiting outside. Blake sat beside Olivia. He raised his hand and touched Andrew’s head. Then, he told Olivia, “Gillian is contacting elites from all industries.”
Olivia raised her head and looked at Blake, indicating for him to continue.
Blake frowned. “I heard that she and Jarron are going to announce the matter of the Smith family. Besides the elders like the Smith family, there are also important people from different industries. There are also a few big shots among them. Gillian plans to call and invite them personally. The time is set to be half a month later.”
“Oh.” Olivia lowered her head. Her expression was indifferent as if he did not care much.
Seeing this, Blake panicked. Could it be that Olivia didn’t want to care about the Smith family anymore?
Back then, Olivia had no intention of taking over the Smith family. Mr. Smith had forcefully handed the Smith family over to her. Now that Mr. Smith had fallen ill, Gillian and Jarron had actively taken over the Smith family. Could it be that Miss did not want to fight with them because of their relationship?
There was also Yanis.
Blake looked even more anxious. He could not help but ask, “Miss, y–you want to give up on the Smith family? Are you just going to watch Gillian and Jarron do whatever they want? The Smith family-”
Before he could finish, he was stopped by Olivia’s gaze.
“It’s not that I don’t care.” Olivia squeezed Andrew’s chubby little hand and said, “I am going to observe the situation.”
Gillian was stunned.
Olivia placed Andrew on the chair and walked to the window. He seemed to be looking into an unknown distance through the clear window.
It was not that she did not care about the Smith family or that she could not win against Gillian and Jarron. She just felt that such a battle was

meaningless.
Grandpa wanted the Smith family to work together and prosper day by day, not the Smith family that was cunning, divided, and constantly fighting among itself.
She could also capture the Smith family. Gillian’s tricks were not enough to threaten her. She could easily defeat him. However, what was the use of defeating Gillian?
The Smith family was still the old Smith family, relying on the past’s glory to live.
Not only that, but it would also completely destroy her relationship with Gillian and Jarron. This was probably the last thing Grandpa wanted. Although her relationship with Gillian was completely alienated, and she only cared about her face, she still had it.
For the past three days, Olivia had stayed in the hospital for an entire day. However, there was Andrew today. He was too young and had been in the car for a long time. Olivia was worried he was not feeling well, so she brought him home to rest.
Olivia had been living in the old building next to the hospital for the past. few days. This was also where she grew up.
Reaching the door, she took out her keys and was about to unlock it, as she always did, when she realized it was open and there was a jingle from
inside.
Olivia opened the door and entered. She realized that it was a group of people from the moving company.
They were moving the things in Olivia’s room. Everything had been packed, sealed, and stacked in the living room.
Olivia raised her eyebrows, wondering what was going on.
Seeing Olivia, a person who looked like a manager, walked over and smiled. “You’re Ms. Taylor, right? I’m the manager of the Renolf Moving Company. Your things have been packed. I’ll move to the new house in a while.”
“What new house?” Blake poked his head out with a puzzled expression.
The manager smiled. “Don’t tell me you don’t know Ms. Taylor. Your sister, Miss Gillian, has bought you a new house nearby. It’s brand new and well–equipped. It’s fully equipped with electrical appliances and equipment. You can move in with your bag.”

Before Olivia could speak, Blake was displeased. “What’s going on? You should have told us to move. Why are you moving things without letting us know? Besides, this is Miss Olivia’s house. Why does she have to move out from here?”
The manager chuckled. “Don’t be angry. Miss Gillian is also considering for Ms. Taylor. In another half a month, there will be guests visiting this place. It’s not convenient for Ms. Taylor to stay here.”
Blake’s eyes darkened upon hearing this, and his expression turned ugly. Gillian was too much for leaving out Olivia like this.
Blake had always thought that Gillian had invited elites from all industries to clear her name as soon as possible so that she could legitimately take over the Smith family. She did not expect that she did not intend to let Miss Olivia go over.
This meant that Miss Olivia was excluded entirely from the Smith family!
“Miss.” Blake looked at Olivia.
Olivia didn’t care about these trivial matters. She only stayed here because it was close to the hospital. Since it was inconvenient for her to stay, she would go somewhere else.
She instructed calmly, “Send the things to the hotel.” She brought Andrew to the hotel, which was more convenient.
She gave in so easily!
Blake was dumbfounded and said anxiously, “Miss, this is your home. How can you leave just like that?”
Olivia did not mind. “Wherever Grandpa is, there would be my hole.”
“What about the banquet Gillin is holding?” Blake was nervous. It did not matter whether they were home or not. The key was the banquet that she was uninvited.
At that time, people from all walks of life would come. If Olivia were not present, she would be reprimanded. They would think she had completely left the Smith family if Olivia had not come to such a critical occasion. This was very disadvantageous to Olivia.
Those were the connections that he had accumulated over the past years. They were all resources.
In the past, with Isaac around, it did not matter if Olivia showed up or not. Now that Isaac had fallen, everyone was waiting to see the next head of the Smith family. They would think that the Smith family did not have

Gillian had been holding her phone and waiting anxiously, thinking that Olivia would not move away so easily.
After all, that was her grandfather’s residence. In half a month, many family heads and big shots from all industries would come. They came to the banquet this time to witness the Smith family’s new master and be on good terms with her. Secondly, they wanted to visit Isaac.
They definitely had to go to Grandpa’s place to take a look. If Olivia lived there, they would have a chance to interact with big shots from all industries.
This was something that Gillian did not want to see.
Therefore, she thought of a way to get Olivia to move out.
However, Olivia was not a fool. She would definitely think of this too. For the sake of these connections and resources, in order to be on good terms with the big shots from all industries, she would definitely refuse to leave.
Getting the moving company to move the stuff out was only the first step.
She had to go with her strategy and use a gentle approach. There were still many tricks waiting for her. If Olivia refused to leave, don’t blame her for turning hostile and chasing her out!
Gillian felt that she had a clear conscience. Compared to Olivia’s coldness. and selfishness in the past, who monopolized all the connections and resources and did not give any to her or Jarron, she had already done her best by not chasing Olivia out of the Smith family and even allowing her to flaunt her reputation as the Smith family.
She would not let Olivia attend a banquet that invited people from all industries and heads of top families.
However, she would not deny the existence of Olivia. She would not announce that she had cut ties with her. She would also allow her to secretly rely on the Smith family’s reputation to gain some benefits.
Gillian felt that she had done enough. The Smith family had a big business. If she were given a little residue, it would be enough for her to live a prosperous life.
As long as she was obedient and honest, not greedy or resentful, and not

Gillian was already prepared for Olivia not to move out, but she received a call from the moving company saying that Olivia had already left and moved everything to the hotel.
“So fast?” Gillian was surprised.
“Is it fast?” The manager of the moving company scratched his head, not understanding what Gillian meant.
Gillian quickly added. “What I mean is, did she pester you or say anything?”
Trouble? The manager was stunned. What was there to be troubled about? Wasn’t it just moving house? Why did it become like a family dispute? That Ms. Taylor didn’t even stay for three minutes.
Olivia didn’t mind moving out at all!
After hanging up the phone, Gillian was still in a daze. Olivia’s reaction was really too unexpected. She actually moved out without even asking.
Lindsay sat at the side and waved two fingers in front of Gillian’s eyes. “Hey, what are you thinking about? Has Olivia moved out of the house?”
Gillian nodded.
Lindsay’s eyes lit up and said excitedly, “That’s a good thing. Let’s quickly call the big shots in Capital City and invite them to the banquet.”
Speaking of this, Lindsay was excited. Those were big shots that had been on the news. They would not have seen them at all if not for this opportunity.
After the excitement, she felt smug again.
She thought, “Hmph, didn’t Olivia not want her to be her trusted aide? Then, she would get rid of Olivia and replace her with Gillian to take over the Smith family. She would still be the family head’s trusted aide.”
On the other hand, Olivia had lost the platform of the Smith family and could no longer strive higher in the future.
In the future, the difference between the two of them would be like the difference between heaven and earth. She could meet big shots like the country’s leaders, but Olivia could only jump around in the scientific world. The principal of Ember University was probably the highest–status person she could meet.

She wondered if Olivia would regret losing her.
The invitation list for the banquet had already been drawn up. It invited business and political figures from all over the country and the elites of the cultural and scientific world, Gillian wanted to take this opportunity to make the Smith family appear in front of everyone again.
She wanted to let the world see the glory of the Smith family.
She did not want to be like Isaac, hiding her identity so that everyone only knew that there was the Smith family, but they did not know where the head of the family was.
The invitations for the others had already been sent out. Only a few big shots were left. They needed Gillian to personally call to invite them.
Gillian decided to call the Book family first. After all, the Smith family was indebted to the Book family and had once cured Ryan’s leg.
The other big shots would also come as long as the Book family was willing to come.
Gillian’s left hand, which was holding the phone, was sweaty. She wiped it several times with a tissue before calling the Book family.
Because she had used Isaac’s phone to call, the other party’s first words when he picked up was, “Mr. Smith?”
Gillian gulped and steadied his voice. “Hello, I’m Gillian.”
The other party was stunned for a moment.
Gillian quickly explained, “I’m Gillian, the Smith family’s current head.”
“Oh, Miss Gillian.” The voice on the other end became gentle. “I’m Mr. Book’s secretary. Mr. Book is in a meeting and will end in about ten minutes. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait for a moment.”
Gillian was very embarrassed. She rejected it and said, “No, no. Mr. Book is busy with national affairs. I’ll call him when he is free.”
“It’s alright.” The secretary’s attitude was very polite. “You’re special. Mr. Book said that if it’s a call from the Smith family, he will answer it immediately.”
Gillian was a little flattered by the secretary. She was secretly happy. Indeed, taking over the Smith family was different.
She would be treated seriously by a big shot like Mr. Book.
One had to know that the person who answered the phone was Mr.
Book’s secretary. Don’t underestimate a secretary. She had a lot of power.

For example, Sean Somer, the mayor’s secretary in the television drama “Snailing“, was praised by many big shots in the business world, let alone Mr. Book’s secretary. He was a few levels higher than Sean.
Now, Mr. Book’s secretary was supporting her!
Gillian had a gorgeous classmate in her dormitory when she was in university. Her dream was to be a waiter at the state banquet. A waiter at the state banquet was already something ordinary people could not reach. Gillian was valued by a big shot who could eat at the state banquet. The secretary kept chatting with her because she was worried that Gillian would be bored from waiting.
People like Mr. Book’s secretary were elite among thousands of
candidates. His words were comfortable and pleasant to hear. He had even unknowingly found out the news.
In just a few sentences, the secretary already knew the situation on the Smith family’s side.
The secretary’s voice was gentle. “Mr. Book is coming out soon. Miss Gillian, please wait for a moment. The call will be passed to him in a while.”
Gillian hurriedly nodded. “There’s no hurry. Mr. Book’s matter is more important.”
The secretary hung up the phone and bumped into Mr. Book, who came out of the meeting room. He leaned over and whispered, reporting the situation of the Smith family in a few words.
After hearing this, Mr. Book frowned with a regretful expression. “How did he turn into a vegetative state?”
The secretary said in a low voice, “From what Gillian said, it’s an acute myocardial infarction. After all, Mr. Smith is old. If he was not rescued in time, it’s easy to cause a serious illness.”
Mr. Book nodded and did not say anything. Instead, he picked up the phone and called.
Gillian was extremely excited when she received Mr. Book’s call. She kept licking her lips nervously. “Mr. Book, can you come over that day?”
Mr. Book smiled gently. “I’m going over. I can visit Mr. Smith and that girl Olivia.”
He actually mentioned Olivia!
Gillian’s expression froze and she did not speak for a long time.

Mr. Book was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

Gillian smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t expect you to still remember Olivia, Mr. Book.” She sighed softly and pretended to be troubled. “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Olivia quarreled with Grandpa because she didn’t study medicine. She hasn’t been home for a few years. She probably won’t appear at this banquet.”
“She won’t appear?” Mr. Book frowned and found it unbelievable. “Mr. Smith is sick. Isn’t she coming back too?”
Gillian braced herself and found an excuse. “She’s back, but she
happened to have something on the day of the banquet. She won’t be back until three days later.”
“Oh.” Mr. Book nodded. “I’ll go over when she comes back.”
Gillian was at a loss for words.

Chapter 157
Gillian held the phone and was speechless for a long time. Mr. Book had already hung up, but she was still in a daze.
Not until Lindsay poked her, she slowly returned to her senses.
When she came back to her senses, anger overtook her.
Olivia, Olivia again!
Her grandfather clearly cured Ryan’s leg disease. It was just that her grandfather was biased and asked Olivia to go in and help. The Book family remembered her. Even Mr. Book remembered her kindness. Gillian did not dare to blame Mr. Book. She could only vent his anger on Olivia.
Back then, Ryan came to seek medical treatment. Olivia was only 17 years old and did not know anything. However, her grandfather insisted that she go in to help. At that time, Jarron had already interned with the mentor, but her grandfather did not take him.
How blatantly biased her grandfather had been.
It was clearly useless, and she was not the one who cured her illness, but the Book family remembered her.
That was not the only case. It was unknown how many big shots of aristocratic families remembered Olivia.
Gillian had to think of a way to strip Olivia of her influence.
At the thought of this, she turned around and looked at Lindsay with a burning gaze.
Lindsay was stunned by her gaze and asked subconsciously, “Why are you looking at me?”
“How’s the research on the prescription I gave you?”
Lindsay frowned. “That prescription isn’t right. There are many rare medicines and a medicinal herb that I’ve never even heard of.”
After Healix Pharmaceuticals received the prescription, Healix immediately gathered a scientific research team to study the prescription. According to the medicinal properties of the herbs on it, this prescription was taken when a person went into shock or fainted. It could save their lives and extend the rescue time.
Like Isaac’s myocardial infarction, he only had four minutes to

resuscitate. If the rescue was late, he might die.
+5 vouchers
However, if he took this prescription, he could extend four to eight minutes. Don’t underestimate this short few minutes. It could save his life at a critical moment.
Such a powerful medicine, carrying one when the illness acted up, would add another layer of protection to one’s life.
However, this prescription had a fatal flaw. The medicinal properties were too strong, and it was also very poisonous. If a person with a weak body took it, not only would it not prolong the time, but they would also lose their vitality and die suddenly.
The life–saving medicine would become a poison that would take lives. “Mr. Sherate from the research lab said that the yellow ephedra in the prescription should be a medicinal ingredient that suppresses poison.” Lindsay frowned as she recalled. She had been to the research lab several times and heard them report to her grandfather. “However, I don’t know what this yellow ephedra is. Many ancient prescriptions don’t have this medicinal ingredient. We can’t find it at all.”
Gillian held the phone. “What if I don’t add this yellow ephedra?”
“Don’t add?” Lindsay rolled her eyes. “It’s poisonous if you don’t add it. It might save people or poison them.”
“Tell your grandfather to make the pills before the banquet, and…” Gillian squinted her eyes with a hint of madness. “Think of a way to get a drug identification report and clinical application approval.”
Lindsay was not a fool. Although she was a little naive, she knew the importance of the matter.
Gillian wanted her family to make a fake report.
It would be fine if nothing happened. If something happened, not only would Healix Pharmaceuticals be finished, but even her grandfather would have to go to jail!,
This was the responsibility of taking a human life!
“That’s not right!” Lindsay hesitated. Their family supported Gillian because they wanted to go higher and higher, not to take risks.
“Not right?” Gillian suddenly laughed. She looked at Lindsay seriously. “If the tree doesn’t grow, how can it bear fruit? Your family only wants to pick fruits, but you don’t want to risk climbing the tree. How can there be such a beneficial option?”

With that, Gillian suddenly stood up with a cold expression. “I want to see your grandfather. I have to produce this medicine!”
At the same time, Olivia had just finished lunch in the hotel and was coaxing Andrew to sleep. When he fell asleep, she went to the living
room.
Blake had been sitting on the sofa and waiting anxiously. When she saw Olivia come out, she immediately approached her worriedly. “Olivia, are you really not going to attend the Smith family’s banquet?”
She licked her dry lips. “If you’re worried that Gillian won’t invite you, I can get Yanis to work with the Smith family to pressure her.”
Olivia sat on the sofa and looked up at Blake, slightly puzzled. “It’s just a banquet. Why must we go?”
“That’s not a simple banquet!” Blake sat in front of Olivia. “Those are the connections that the Smith family and the others have accumulated. Many big shots will go over.”
Blake took out her phone as he spoke and found a photo of the name list. She handed it to Olivia. “Look, this is the invitation list for the banquet. It includes almost all the aristocratic families. Even the higher–ups have been invited.”
Olivia took the phone and swiped a few times on the screen with her fingertips. Soon, she finished browsing the name list. Then, she handed the phone to Blake and rubbed her temples with her free hand.
These days, she had been staying by her grandfather’s side day and night. She had not slept well for a few days and looked tired.
“Ignore it.” Olivia’s tone was neither fast nor slow. Her beautiful eyes were filled with indifference as if she did not care about the banquet at all. “It’s just a list. Not many people will go.”
What did she mean? Blake couldn’t react for a moment and looked up. Seeing this, Olivia sighed softly and had to explain the matter clearly. “Ms. Blake, the Smith family relied on their medical skills. To be precise, we relied on Grandpa’s medical skills alone. Now that Grandpa has fallen, Jarron and Gillian’s medical skills are not up to standard. The Smith family doesn’t have any assets or resources. Why should they even care about the Smith family’s reputation?”
Blake was stunned.
Olivia drooped her eyelids. Her expression was calm and indifferent, like

a statue without any warmth. She looked down on all living beings with pity like a god.
Looking at Olivia, Blake felt at a loss. Her mind was blank, and she had no idea what to do.
Olivia looked up at Blake and said unhurriedly, “The Smith family has been blinded by the glory of these years. Without precious pills, without the Smith family’s miraculous treatments, Grandpa is just a doctor with superb medical skills. He might have saved some big shots and obtained some protection, but that’s all!
“Ms. Blake, you think too highly of the Smith family!”
The last sentence was like bone–chilling cold water that splashed on Blake’s face, waking her up completely.
Just as Olivia had expected, not many people came to the banquet.
Gillian thought that as long as she took over the Smith family, she would be able to enjoy boundless glory. Those big shots would give her face and come knocking on her door one after another. However, things were not as simple as she had imagined.
Just an invitation to a banquet had many people rejecting it.
Those big shots at the top of the pyramid only recognized Olivia. They knew that Olivia was not around and did not participate at all.
There were also some business elites who valued Isaac’s medical skills. Now that Isaac was unconscious and the Smith family did not have anyone with superb medical skills, they were completely unwilling to visit.
As a pediatrician, she could not invite those elite big shots at all.
They did not care about her!

Chapter 158
After a good night’s sleep, Andrew woke up early. The first thing he did when he woke up was to look for Olivia. Then, he went to visit his great–grandfather with Olivia.
In the hotel living room, Zoe and Zoila were preparing breakfast. Zoila was really a meticulous and responsible person. After listening to Olivia’s words that day, she had completely come to terms with it. She took liking someone to heart. As long as she was happy, there was no need to get involved and make everyone unhappy.
She learned about Andrew’s preferences from Zoe and went out early to prepare breakfast. One of the dishes was croissant. The hotel did not serve this dish for breakfast. She especially went out and asked around for a long time before buying it from a private restaurant.
When she packed it back, it was still warm and scalding.
Seeing that Andrew had woken up, she immediately waved her hand. “Andrew, come over and eat breakfast. It’s still hot.”
Andrew ran to the dining table and sniffed. Then, he smiled. “It smells so good!”
“Let’s eat.” Seeing that Andrew liked it, Zoila was pleased and quickly handed the spoon over.
Unexpectedly, Andrew shook his head, blinked his beautiful eyes, and said seriously, “I want to wait for Olivia to eat together.”
Zoila was stunned. The smile on her face faded a little, but she still advised seriously, “But when Olivia comes, the dishes will turn cold. If they turn cold, they won’t taste good anymore.”
She coaxed him as if she was coaxing a child.
Children could rarely resist the temptation of food. Moreover, croissant was his favorite.
However, Andrew did not hesitate as she had imagined. Instead, he rejected her directly. “No, I want to wait for Olivia to eat together.”
Her soft, childlike voice sounded firm and resolute without any hesitation.
Zoila was stunned. She didn’t understand. “You can eat first and wait while you eat. Ms. Taylor hasn’t woken up yet. When she wakes up, the

dishes will be cold. The croissant you like won’t be delicious anymore, Don’t you like it very much?”
“It’s just one dish.” Andrew retracted his gaze from the dish. “If it’s cold, I won’t ez it. What’s there to pity? But if I miss eating with Olivia, I’ll miss it forever.”
“There’s tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow is tomorrow, not today.” The little child’s tone was firm. “Time waits for no man. Tomorrow is different from today!”
Zoila tightened her grip on her spoon, her eyes filled with unconcealable shock.
It was hard to imagine that such a young child would say such words. Zoe happened to be carrying fruits over. When she saw this, she smiled and said to Zoila, “Don’t persuade him. Mr. Andrew has a lot of thoughts.” Zoila looked up in confusion, not understanding why Zoe said so.
Zoe explained, “Don’t think that Mr. Andrew is young and has a lot of thoughts. There’s a saying that you young people always say… I remember now. Self–discipline is self–discipline. Mr. Andrew has very strong self–control of his desires. If he doesn’t finish his homework, he definitely won’t go out to play, no matter who told him to give up on his homework. If he can’t complete his daily mission, he definitely won’t sleep until he finishes them.
“He said he doesn’t want to eat. He wants to wait for Miss Olivia to eat with him. No matter how hungry he is or how much he likes the food on the table, he will never touch his spoon!” When he spoke, Zoe’s tone was filled with pride. Mr. Andrew was really the most outstanding child she had ever seen.
Smart, independent, upright, and extremely powerful self–control. Those were all about Andrew.
In Zoila’s impression, four or five–year–old children were very childish because they were kids. They did not know anything and were completely uncontrollable. However, Andrew had shown her a completely different side.
“Could his genes be outstanding, and his son had inherited it?” she thought.
Thinking of the outstanding Daniel, a smile appeared on Zoila’s face. She said, “Andrew should be like Mr. Sullivan.”
11:13
Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Zoe shook her head and explained, “Sir said that Mr. Andrew is like his mother. He’s exactly like her in all aspects. He’s smart, determined, and sentimental.”
Zoila’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Zoe mention Andrew’s mother.
Just by looking at Andrew, one could tell that his mother was outstanding and matched Mr. Sullivan. After Andrew’s mother was gone, Mr. Sullivan had been alone for many years without a female companion. He should have a deep relationship with Andrew’s mother.
As for Olivia, she only appeared in front of everyone at the Taylor family’s banquet to find her daughter. It had only been more than half a year since then. It was unreasonable for Mr. Sullivan to treat her differently in such a short time.
Even if Mr. Sullivan had fallen in love with someone else, there should still be a process. It was said that Olivia had been doing research in Ember University’s laboratory before that. She did not have much free time at all. The two of them rarely saw each other. Where did such a deep relationship come from?
It was probably because Andrew liked Olivia. Olivia came from a good family and was very capable. That was why Mr. Sullivan was with her. With this thought in mind, all the logic made sense to her.
Mr. Sullivan chose to be with Olivia for the sake of the child, not because he liked her!
After thinking it through, Zoila’s gaze suddenly became fervent as she looked at Andrew without moving.
“If… If Andrew liked me, would I… have a chance too?” she thought.
Olivia woke up a little late today. After washing up, she went to the next room to look for Andrew.
Andrew had been waiting on the sofa for a while. When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately jumped off the sofa and ran to speak. When he saw Olivia, he immediately pounced on her and said softly, “Olivia, I missed you so much.”
The little guy was extremely good at acting cute. He was usually very cold and would occasionally throw a tantrum, but in front of Olivia, he was extremely soft. He was completely a cute little thing who liked to smile and blink coquettishly. He was extremely cute.

He held Olivia’s hand and came in. He asked carefully, like a little adult, “Did you sleep well? Did you cover yourself with a blanket? It’s a little cold outside today. You have to wear more clothes!”
Zoe kept iaughing.
Olivia was also happy. Ever since she found out that her grandfather was
sick, she would only smile occasionally and completely relax when Andrew was by her side.
Sitting at the dining table, Andrew picked up a croissant for Olivia. “Olivia, eat this. It’s delicious.”
Olivia took a bite. It was sticky and indeed delicious.
Seeing that Olivia liked it, Andrew was overjoyed. His eyes curved into crescents. After taking a sip of cereal, he looked at Olivia and smiled. When she finished one croissant, he immediately served her another. The portion of the croissant was tiny. Zoila also considered that Andrew was just a child and could not eat much, so she only bought one portion. There were only four pieces in total, but three of them had gone into Olivia’s mouth.
She didn’t have much of an appetite these days and couldn’t eat anything. Because Andrew had given it to her, she barely ate it.
Zoila went to the dining room to cut fruits. She subconsciously frowned when she saw that Andrew had not eaten a single one. She was a little dissatisfied with Olivia.
As expected, she wouldn’t care since she and Andrew were not
blood–related. She only cared about eating by herself and didn’t consider Andrew. She didn’t know how she hid it from Mr. Sullivan.
With a bang, she knocked the fruit plate on the table.
The sudden voice made Olivia and Andrew look up subconsciously.
Zoila lowered her eyes and said indifferently, “Andrew, you like croissant most. Why aren’t you eating them?”
Olivia had no idea what Andrew liked to eat. When she heard this, she looked at Andrew. “Andrew, do you like croissant?”
Andrew smiled widely. “I like watching you eat croissant.”

What a cute thing to say. Olivia felt like candy was in this little guy’s mouth, making it sweet. It was so sweet that it warmed her heart.
She couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She raised her hand and pulled Andrew into her arms. She tapped his little nose. “Why are you so good at talking?”
This little angel always brought her unexpected surprises.
After breakfast, Olivia returned to her room to change her shoes. Andrew stood in the corridor and waited for her.
The little guy was wearing a short dark green down jacket, gray cargo pants, and his hands were in his pockets. He looked arrogant and cool, completely different from the person in front of Olivia.
Coincidentally, Zoila came out with her bag. Andrew raised his chin and beckoned her over with his little finger.
Zoila was stunned and walked over in a daze.
Andrew raised his eyebrows. He wanted to say something, but then he felt that his current state was not good. He did not respect women enough.
Hence, he took his hands out of his pockets and said in a much gentler tone, “Ms. Milton, I have a classmate whose great–grandfather lived until he was 99 years old. Do you know why?”
Zoila’s expression changed slightly. She could guess what Andrew was going to say, but she felt that it was impossible. After all, Andrew was too young. He was only five years old.
She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Why?”
“Because he never meddles in other people’s business.” Andrew’s voice was crisp and pleasant, with a hint of childish softness.
He did not like what Ms. Milton had said during breakfast just now, but he also understood that Ms. Milton was concerned about him. Because he liked to eat chicken, she got up very early and went to the restaurant to buy them.
His teacher had said that he had to treat other people’s feelings seriously and thank them sincerely.
Andrew was very grateful to Ms. Milton, but he did not like Ms. Milton to

be nosy.
The well–mannered little boy suppressed his cold and distant nature and explained seriously, “I like Olivia, so give the chicken nugget to Olivia to cat. I’ll be even happier when I see that she likes it. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Zoila’s heart was filled with frustration. She could not understand why Andrew would like Olivia when she did not seem to be taking care of Andrew at all.
“Andrew,” Zoila said, “why do you like Olivia?” What did he like about her?
Andrew tilted his head and looked puzzled. “What do you mean why? There’s no reason.”
Zoila took a deep breath and asked, “Then do you like me?”
“I do.” The little boy nodded.
Zoila was overjoyed. Just as she was about to speak, she heard him continue, “But it’s different from me liking Olivia.”
Andrew stretched out his little finger and pointed at his little finger. “I like you this much.”
“What about Olivia?”
“So many…” Andrew stretched his arms wide open but felt it was not enough. He added another adjective, “As many as the sky.”
Zoila looked up at the ceiling and then at his little fingers. She suddenly felt sad. The difference was too big.
Inexplicably indignant, she continued to ask, “Why? What’s wrong with me? What don’t you like about me?”
Andrew thought seriously before answering, “Ms. Milton’s eyes are too big. Although big eyes are beautiful, they’re not as good as Olivia’s. Also, Ms. Milton, you don’t smell good either. It’s pungent, unlike Olivia’s fragrance.”
Zoila was a little sad. Her doe eyes were the most beautiful, and the perfume she wore today was very expensive. It was famous for its good
smell.
As if he could tell that Zoila was not in a good mood, Andrew comforted her. “There’s no need for a reason to like someone. There are many reasons to dislike someone. Ms. Milton, don’t be sad. There will be others who like you very much.”

“You know so much!” Zoila pouted and squatted down to touch the little. boy’s curly hair. She sighed in her heart.
Olivia was really lucky. For some reason, she had Mr. Andrew’s favor.
Olivia changed her clothes and brought Andrew to the hospital.
Andrew was very obedient. He did not make a fuss in the hospital. He sat at the table and did his homework seriously. Occasionally, when he was tired from writing, he would walk two laps. He was extremely obedient.
Olivia, on the other hand, sat on the edge of the bed and spoke to Isaac softly as she examined his body.
In the past, when her grandfather was free, there were always too many things blocking him. She had to study and learn things, and her grandfather had to treat illnesses and save people. The grandfather and granddaughter did not have time to chat together.
Now that her grandfather had fallen ill, she suddenly realized how wonderful the past was.
After a long time, Blake suddenly came in and said that it was already noon and time to eat.
Olivia did not feel hungry at all, nor did she have an appetite. She asked Blake to bring Andrew to eat while she stayed here to accompany her grandfather.
Andrew did not leave. She tugged at the corner of Olivia’s clothes and said softly, “Olivia, aren’t you eating?”
Olivia turned around and touched the top of his soft head. He coaxed him gently, “Be good. Olivia is not hungry. Can you go and eat?”
Andrew shook his head. “Olivia also needs to eat. Only when you’re full and healthy will you have the strength to accompany great–grandfather.”
Olivia pursed her lips and was about to speak when a gentle, low voice came from the door. “That’s right. The little kid is right. How can you have the strength if you don’t eat?”
That person was…
Olivia’s expression froze. She suddenly clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes instantly turned red. The corners of her mouth could not help but tremble.
Blake reacted more directly. She turned around and ran toward the person. “Mr. Jarron, you’re finally back!”

“Aunty. The man’s voice was warm and cordial, like the clear, dry autumn sky. It carried a vast sense of magnanimity.
Olivia slowly turned around, and a tall and handsome figure was reflected in his eyes.

Jarron brought Blake into the ward and helped her sit on a chair. Then, he turned to Olivia and said in a gentle and concerned tone, “I’m sorry, little sister. I’m late.”
Olivia’s heart ached and swelled. It was like a child who had been
wronged outside and had seen a parent supporting him. She finally could not control her tears, and they flowed down.
“Jarron.” She got up and ran over, hugging Jarron tightly.
Jarron staggered because she used too much strength and took two steps back to stabilize his body.
He touched the top of Olivia’s head dotingly with a helpless expression. “It’s still the same as when we were young. You cried the moment I arrived.”
Olivia chuckled and looked up with teary eyes.
Only when she got closer did she realize Jarron had dark circles under his eyes and a deep fatigue at the corners of his eyes?
She quickly stepped back and pulled Jarron to sit down. “Didn’t you want to stay overseas for the surgery?” She remembered that the surgery was scheduled for tomorrow. Why was he back today?
Jarron was the youngest brain surgeon in the world. He was rarely at home and spent most of his time overseas.
On the day of his grandfather’s accident, he rushed back, but there were still patients overseas waiting for his surgery.
Extracranial surgery was a very precise surgery. It especially tested the chief surgeon’s technical experience. Not everyone could do it, so he flew back overseas after Grandpa’s condition stabilized.
Everything at the hospital was handed over to Gillian.
Jarron smiled faintly. “The surgery was brought forward. It was completed three days ago.”
After more than ten hours of surgery and postoperative observation, Jarron had not slept for three days and three nights. As soon as the patient’s condition stabilized, he immediately flew back.

Jarron was back, and Olivia had to go out for lunch at noon.
“There’s a barbecue restaurant nearby that tastes good.” Jarron’s voice was gentle. “You’ll definitely like it.”
He had been to all the restaurants near the hospital to see which dishes were delicious. He wanted to bring her along when Olivia came back in the future.
The door of the barbecue restaurant was very big. As soon as Jarron arrived, a doorman came to park the car. A waiter led them to a private room on the second floor.
Olivia held Andrew’s small hand and told him which dish was delicious. He even specially instructed the waiter to serve a few dishes that were not spicy. Children could not eat them.
She had already ordered the dishes, but Jarron was still standing at the staircase.
He was on the phone. The light at the staircase was dim and hazy. Olivia could only see him holding his phone in one hand and putting his other hand in his pocket. He seemed to be in a hurry.
Olivia asked Blake to take care of Andrew while he walked toward Jarron.
She had just taken a few steps when she heard his hoarse and anxious voice. “Why did you faint? Is it hypoglycemia? Don’t worry, I’ll be there
soon…”
Perhaps because he was too flustered, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his lips were pursed tightly.
When he turned around and saw Olivia, he was slightly stunned. Then, he looked apologetic. “I have to go back to the hospital. I can’t eat with you.”
Olivia looked up and said in a clear tone, “Did Gillian faint? I’ll go with you.”
“No need.” Jarron subconsciously refused. When he returned to his senses, he realized his tone had been too harsh. He quickly explained, “You’re hungry. Eat first. The grill here is very good. I can go alone.”
Olivia leaned against the wall with one hand in his pocket. He looked up and glanced at Jarron before sneering. “I know she doesn’t want to see me. Don’t worry, I won’t go over.”

Jarron frowned and looked helpless. “Olivia…”
Olivia waved his hand. “Alright, go over quickly.”
Olivia returned to the private room alone. Blake stretched her body and looked around. When she did not see Jarron, her expression immediately turned gloomy. “Where’s Mr. Jarron?”
“He’s back at the hospital. Gillian fainted.”
“Fainted?” Blake subconsciously became worried. Then, her expression changed to ridicule. “This again.”
This was not the first time Gillian had done such a thing. Blake was already immune.
However, Jarron could not tell and was tricked every time. This man was so careless.
After Jarron, the important person, left, the originally happy lunch suddenly became dull.
After a few bites, Blake put down her fork and sighed. “How did Miss Gillian become like this? The three of you were so good in the past, but now you’re cold. It’s all a misunderstanding.”
Blake really couldn’t figure out how the three children, who used to be so close, ended up like this.
Didn’t Gillian dote on Olivia? Why did she suddenly have such a thought? Not only did she complain about Olivia, but she also messed around between Jarron and Olivia.
She had never seen anyone more pretentious than her!
Jarron returned to the hospital and immediately went to the ward to see Gillian. Gillian was lying on the hospital bed and receiving glucose transfusions. Her face was as pale.
When she heard the door open, Gillian turned around and saw Jarron. Her eyes instantly lit up. “Jarron!”
“Why did you faint? Did you not rest well?” Jarron was concerned.
Gillian smiled faintly. “There have been too many things going on recently. I’ll be fine in a few days.” Then, he asked, “Didn’t you accompany Olivia to have lunch? Why are you here?”
Jarron stroked her soft hair and said gently, “Your health is more important.”
A blissful smile appeared on Gillian’s face.

She held Jarron’s hand and rambled on about what had happened recently. She said that she was going to hold a banquet in ten days and invited many guests.
Jarron was originally listening with a smile, but when he heard her mention the banquet, his expression instantly turned cold,
He held Gillian’s hand with a solemn expression. “Gillian, did you not invite Olivia to the banquet or let her be in the house?”
“Did Olivia complain that to you/”
Jarron shook his head. “Ms. Blake told me about the banquet.”
Gillian did not say anything more.
Jarron was about to persuade her when two streams of tears suddenly flowed down from the corners of her eyes. The tears seemed to be
endless.
Gillian did not speak or look at him. She just cried silently. Jarron’s heart ached.
After a long time, he finally compromised. “Gillian, don’t cry.”
Gillian turned her head away and did not look at him at all. “Jarron, do you think I’ve gone too far by not inviting her to such an important banquet?”
Jarron remained silent.
Gillian laughed self–deprecatingly. “I just didn’t invite her to a banquet, and she complained to you!”
Jarron explained, “Olivia didn’t say anything. Ms. Blake told me about this.”
“What’s the difference between Ms. Blake saying it and she saying it herself? They were complaining to you about me.” Gillian’s voice became sharp. “Isn’t it all her doing?”
“Don’t be like this…” said Jarron helplessly.
“Are you feeling sorry for her?” Gillian’s voice was choked with emotion, and his chest heaved uncontrollably. “She’s already complaining without even inviting her. Why don’t you think about how many banquets Grandpa brought her to alone in the past? Has she ever brought us along? Has she ever thought about us at all?
“When she was favored, she did not say a word. Once she was neglected, she would immediately shout all over the world!

“This time, I won’t invite her. I’ll let her experience how I used to feel.” The more Gillian spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears kept flowing down her face. In the end, she could not even talk. She only covered her face and whimpered.
Jarron was helpless and heartbroken. He could only comfort her gently. “Gillian, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I didn’t consider your feelings.”
Gillian wiped his tears and snorted. “I’m not hating on purpose. I’m just unwilling to accept it. I just want her to experience how I used to feel.” At this point, she sobbed and continued, “She’s our little sister after all. How can I not dote on her? She misunderstood me and always spoke coldly as if someone owed her something. I won’t bring her to this banquet. Anyway, she doesn’t like crowds. In the future, I’ll compensate her in terms of money.”
Hearing this, Jarron felt sorry and softened. He regretted his rashness, and his heart ached even more for Gillian’s grievance. He reached out his fingertips and touched her red and swollen eyes. “I know you dote on Olivia. I misunderstood you. I’m sorry.”
All these years, Gillian had suffered too many grievances. Her grandfather’s favoritism and her younger sister’s selfishness had completely hurt her. He would let her vent it out.
As for Olivia, she had already received so much and was favored at most. This was just a little grievance. It was nothing. In the past, Gillian had also gone through this. Olivia had no right to be dissatisfied.
