Chapter 315

Ivan released Olivia. “For the Miller family to have a daughter like Gina is unfortunate, but to have you, who, though not biological, are as good as our daughter, is a blessing. From now on, our family will stand together, never to be separated,” Ivan declared passionately.

“Okay.” Olivia nodded, feigning emotion.

Olivia had sacrificed by donating a kidney to earn their favor again. The Miller family’s change of heart had been her chance. She had seized it, entwining herself with the Miller family for survival. It had been her plan until she stepped on Gina’s toes.

Then, Ivan said to Ella, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll immediately talk to Gina and have her return Miller Jewels to us.”

Ella couldn’t dare to hope anymore. “Let it go, Ivan. As for Gina, we can’t compete with her, and most importantly, behind her stands Gabriel. I’ve sinned to have such an unfilial daughter. I truly regret not ending her life when she was born,” Ella said from the depths of her heart.

“Mom, it’s not too late now,” Ivan said disdainfully.

Ella was still worried. “But Ivan, don’t be reckless,” Ella cautioned “Committing murder is against the law.”

“Mom, you don’t need to worry.” Ivan reassured Ella. “I promised you I’ll take care of Gina. I have my ways. Just trust me.

“Enough, Ivan. Stop talking nonsense,” Ella scolded, feeling that Ivan was irrational. “Just go home, now!”

Gina went to the medicine land to gather some medicinal herbs, intending to prepare a tonic for Neil Jackson. Upon seeing Cathy Fowler again, her complexion grew paler, and her appearance became haggard.

“Miss Miller,” Cathy said weakly, her voice trembling as she struggled to maintain balance.

Gina frowned and asked, “Did you donate blood again? She knew there had to be something suspicious about this so-called blood donation.

Cathy felt inexplicably guilty. “I…” Before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed before Gina.

Gina was stunned, and she immediately crouched down to check her pulse. Cathy was in shock.

When Cathy woke up, she found herself in the hospital. As she glanced around, she saw a bag of blood continuously being transfused into her body while Gina sat nearby with a cold expression on her face.

“Awake? You almost died from shock,” Gina said succinctly.

Cathy hesitated for a moment, then realized she had narrowly escaped death. Overwhelmed with fear, she burst into tears. “Thank you, Miss Miller, you saved me!”

“What’s the deal with the blood donation you mentioned earlier Donating blood again after just a few days-is that something you insisted on doing? How many people are as insistent on donating blood as you are?” Gina inquired.

Cathy realized that Gina knew she had been lying about her blood donation intentions before. This time, nearly dying, she couldn’t hold back any longer. “I’m sorry, Miss Miller. Last time, I lied to you. I didn’t voluntarily donate blood; I signed a

contract

“Contract?” Gina exclaimed, surprised..

“Yes,” Cathy stammered, her words disjointed and unclear as she struggled to speak through her sobs.

Gina motioned for her to calm down before continuing, “You don’t need to apologize to me. The life you almost lost is your own. The one you owe apologies to is yourself.” And Gina’s intervention to save her was just a tiny effort on her part.

“I signed a contract with Blue Vale Hospital to supply blood. I have to be available whenever they call, and although they

blood- only draw a small amount, around 100-200cc, the intervals are very short each time. Despite them providing many replenishing nutrients and supplements after each extraction, I can’t replenish it.in time, Cathy explained.

“Why did you sign a contract with Blue Vale?” This question concerned Gina the most. “Are you in need of money?”

Cathy shook her head. “No, I’m not.”

Gina could tell that Cathy was hesitant and unwilling to tell the truth. “I saved you. Can’t you be honest with me? That’s my only request.” Gina said.

Cathy lowered her gaze. “It’s my boyfriend.”

Gina wasn’t surprised, but it was rare for her to meddle in others affairs. “You said you didn’t break up with Andy Taylor because he saved your life. Now, because of him, you’ve signed a messy contract and nearly died. You’ve also paid him back with your life. No one can save you if you don’t break up with him now. I can’t guarantee that I’ll always be able to get you to the hospital in time when you’re unconscious, nor can you guarantee that someone will always replace you when you faint,” Gina explained.

Cathy had to admit that Gina’s words made sense. However, she was at a loss about what to do now. “But I signed the contract. If I breach it. I have to pay a penalty of 100 thousand dollars, which I can’t afford. I also don’t want to donate blood anymore, but the contract is legally binding…”

“Take me to Blue Vale,” Gina said calmly. She wanted to see what this private hospital was up to.

“Okay,” Cathy agreed.

Gina fed Cathy some of the medicinal herbs she had grown herself, and Cathy immediately regained some strength. Together, they went to see what Blue Vale called its blood collection department.

Olivia was holding several newly signed blood supply agreements and smiling as she prepared to deposit them in Nicolas Jacquard’s office safe. She hadn’t expected to run into Gina, and when she saw Gina standing across from her, Olivia felt as if she’d seen a phantom. She was startled, fearing that Gina might be there to cause trouble for her.

Olivia looked at Gina with apprehension and asked, “What brings you here?”

Cathy had always considered Olivia a friend. She believed that meeting someone and making friends with them was a matter of fate in a world where countless people pass by each day. So, she took the initiative to greet Olivia. “Olivia…” However, Olivia ignored her.

Gina noticed that Olivia was likely working here. Seeing the thick contracts in Olivia’s hands, Gina furrowed her brows. “Get your supervisor or the person in charge of this hospital, Dr. Jacquard,” she instructed.

Olivia was surprised. “What do you need Dr. Jacquard for?”

“It’s none of your concern, Gina replied impassively.

Olivia felt somewhat offended, but she dared not express her anger. “Dr. Jacquard isn’t here. If you have any business, you can tell me directly,” she said.

Gina pointed to Cathy. “I want her blood supply contract,” she stated.

Olivia glanced at Cathy with confusion. Although Cathy had helped her before, they had lost touch after Olivia moved. So when Cathy greeted her earlier, Olivia didn’t respond.

“What do you need that for? Olivia asked cautiously.
