“Why are you still standing there? I…”
Olivia started yelling before she looked up and met Ian’s eyes. He was loitering in front of the door.
“Ian!”
Olivia got out of bed and was eager to go to him when her hand got caught on the IV drip stand. A
sharp pain ran through her hand as the blood quickly stained the IV, coloring the whole tube red.
Olivia held in the pain and yanked out the IV needle, threw it aside, and was about to get up and go to
Ian once more, only to see him entering the door with a bag in his hand.
“Ian, what I said wasn’t meant for you. I thought… I thought it was John Freeman, that’s why I…”
“I’m sorry.”
Before Olivia could finish, Ian lowered his head and apologized.
Olivia was stunned. She thought she had heard wrongly and looked at the youth in front of her
incredulously.
“W-what did you just say?”
“I’m sorry.”
Ian repeated once more and placed the bag in his hand on the table.” Here’s your favorite meatballs.”
Then, he turned around and was about to run out.
Olivia quickly grabbed him and said, “Ian, where do you think you’re going now? Please don’t make me
worry, okay? I know I’ve neglected you, and forgetting about your orientation is too much, but please
don’t leave, okay?”
When it came to Ian, the stubbornness and determination she normally had disappeared without a
trace, and all that was left was pleading and lowliness.
She knew she owed her brother everything, no matter what.
However, she did not know what she could do now.
“Ian, will you sit down and talk to me?”
Finally, he nodded. He sat on the chair beside the bed, but his head was still drooped low. He did not
dare to look at Olivia.
“Why did you skip school and want to go to Murica?”
Ian bit his lips and toyed with his fingers. His hoarse voice rang, “I’m sorry, Liv, I shouldn’t be so
stubborn. I should understand where you are coming from and not complain about you all the time.
Actually, you’re… You’ve been having a pretty hard time lately.”
Then, he lifted his head and glanced quickly at her again before lowering his head. “I just got to know
that Mrs. Wallace was admitted to the hospital, that Katie was so severely sick that she nearly died,
and that you have not rested properly in a very long time, yet you still had to worry about me…”
Olivia’s eyes were quickly red-rimmed. She pursed her lips and caressed Ian’s head.
“I’ve never blamed you. It’s true that I did not do what I promised you I would, but Ian, I really hope
you’d grow up a little bit, so you could take care of yourself.”
Olivia sighed. “Now that Dorothy still has no idea who I am, you’re still safe. You can still safely study
and live your life. I can rest assured for a while.”
“Liv.”
Ian lifted up his head to look at Olivia. “I’ll do my best in my studies. I’ll stop being stubborn, and soon,
I’ll make some money, so I can take care of you.”
Olivia’s heart shuddered. She was really touched.
Seeing how her naive brother had grown up a little bit, she was very happy, but at the same time, the
guilt in her heart grew.
She sniffled. “You idiot, do I need you to take care of me? I just want you to be healthy, happy, and to
grow up safely. I don’t ask for anything else.”
“Liv, I’ve grown up. I’m no longer a kid. If you need my help with anything, you can tell me. Then, you
won’t have to be so tired anymore.”
Olivia shook her head. “Ian, the further you are from me, the safer you are, and Dorothy will not lay her
hands on you. That time four years ago scared me enough. I’m really afraid… Really afraid…”
She caressed Ian’s face. “I was so afraid at the time I did not dare to die. I felt like I was too ashamed
to meet Dad and Mom. I felt like I could not face them because of what had happened to you.”
Ian did not respond, but his fists were tightly balled up.
He knew that everything was Dorothy Ellis’ fault. If it was not for her, their home and he and Liv would
not have ended up the way they were right now.
