Chapter 66
“What?” Olivia was taken aback by his question, her face showing confusion.
Morgan looked worried and said, “Have you gone silly from the fever? Don’t you recognize Ollie?”
Dylan’s lips moved, but he didn’t voice his real question in front of Morgan.
What he really wanted to ask was whether Olivia was truly the person who had saved him eight years ago.
All the evidence seemed to point to Chloe as the one who had rescued him back then. But three days ago in that pit, judging from the way Olivia and Chloe had acted, it was Olivia who seemed more like the girl in his hazy memory.
‘Well, about that yellow dress? Why was it on Chloe? And why would Chloe know about the promise we made down there in the pit? Dylan wondered.
After Dylan had recovered from his injuries, he would occasionally pick Chloe up from school, and Olivia had passed by them.
‘Why didn’t she recognize me then and tell me the truth, instead of waiting until after we got married, and only after Chloe was with me, to reveal that she was the one who saved me?‘ Dylan thought.
“Doctor? Get a doctor in here to check on him,” Morgan said loudly, seeing Dylan staring blankly at Olivia.
Morgan’s health was already fragile, and with this sudden anxiety, he clutched his chest, gasping for breath, his hand trembling on his cane. He looked as
if he might collapse at any moment.
Olivia quickly moved to support Morgan. “Mr. Wilson, please don’t get so agitated.”
Dylan snapped out of his daze and said urgently, “Grandpa, I’m fine. I was just thinking. Take some deep breaths and try to calm down.”
The doctor came in and wheeled Morgan away for an examination. His health was already precarious, and any shock could easily worsen his condition
With the doctor’s help, Morgan’s emotions stabilized quickly, but he still seemed more drained than before.
The doctor repeatedly warned them not to let Morgan experience any more stress, especially negative stress. They should try to keep him happy and in good spirits; otherwise, he might not make it through the year.
After thanking the doctor, Olivia entered Morgan’s room. Dylan had van wheel him in as well.
“Grandpa, you must take care of yourself. I want you to be around for a few more years,” Dylan said, his voice choking with emotion, enveloped in sorrow.
He had grown up with Morgan and felt a deeper connection to him than to his own parents.
When his father had passed away, Dylan hadn’t felt much, but whenever Morgan fell ill, Dylan couldn’t help but worry.
Morgan sighed, “I wish I could live longer, but my health is just too poor. I’m afraid I won’t live to see you have a complete family.”
In his mind, their family wouldn’t be complete until they had children.
Morgan had been hoping Olivia would get pregnant/sooner, and if he took good care of himself, he might live to see their family happy and whole before he passed away.
But as the days went by and Olivia still hadn’t conceived, and as he felt death drawing nearer, he knew he would leave t of this, Morgan sighed again.
world with regrets. Thinking
Olivia suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Wilson, I’m already four and a half months pregnant. The babies will be born in about four months. You must take care of yourself and wait to hold our children when they are born.”
The doctor had told her during her checkups that twins were often delivered prematurely, so it might not even be four months before the babies arrived.

“What, you’re pregnant?” Morgan and Dylan exclaimed in unison, their voices slightly out of control, but their expressions were instly dement
Morgan’s face was filled with delight and excitement, while Dylan looked incredulous and slightly uneasy.
Olivia smiled and nodded at Morgan, “Yes, we conceived while we were traveling abroad.”
Morgan was overjoyed, his energy and spirit instantly revitalized, making him look years younger.
He looked at Olivia’s stomach, but he was puzzled. “You don’t look pregnant. At four and a half months, you should be showing. I can’t see any signs at all,” he said.
“Are you just trying to cheer me up by lying to me?” Morgan asked.
Dylan’s gaze also fell on Olivia’s stomach.
The weather had turned colder, and she was wearing two layers of clothing. Although the clothes were a bit loose, they could fell that her lower abdomen wasn’t protruding.
Dylan let out a quiet sigh of relief. ‘It seems she’s lying to make Grandpa happy,‘ he thought.
Olivia explained, “I’m not lying. I really am pregnant. The doctor said the fetus is positioned toward the back, so it won’t show much at this early stage.
Dylan’s emotions got the better of him, and he retorted heatedly, “How could you possibly be pregnant?
“Three days ago, you walked such a long distance without me, fell into a pit from a great height, and then struggled to climb out and pull two adults up. Even an adult would have physical issues after doing all that.
“If you were really pregnant, you would have miscarried after going through all that three days ago. I know you want to make Grandpa happy, but you
can’t lie about something like this.”
He continued, “You might make Grandpa happy now by lying, but in a few months, when you can’t produce a child and his hopes are dashed, it will hurt
him even more.”
Morgan sighed, and his eyes dimmed, “I know you mean well, but you can’t deceive me like this. Don’t do it again. This emotional roller coaster, with its highs and lows, is too much for my heart to handle.”
Olivia said patiently, “I’m not lying. My health is good, and I was very, careful to protect my stomach that day, which is why I didn’t miscarry, although the
fetus was slightly disturbed.
“I’ve been hospitalized for the past three days to preserve the pregnancy. Now that the babies are fine, I feel I could tell you, Mr. Wilson.”
She added, “Mr. Wilson, if you don’t believe me, you can have a doctor you trust examine me. You can trust your own people, right?”
Hope rekindled in Morgan’s eyes, and he immediately called for a doctor to examine Olivia.
When the results came back, Morgan looked at the paper and was so excited that his eyes turned red.
“It’s true. Dylie is going to have his children. My wish is going to come true,” he said, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He chided Olivia a little, “You’ve been pregnant for over four months. Why didn’t you tell me sooner? If I hadn’t called you here today, would you have waited until the babies were born to tell me?”
Olivia said sheepishly, “I was busy with two screenplays. I was afraid that if I told you too early, you wouldn’t let me work. So I thought I’d wait until I was done.
“I actually wanted to tell you three days ago, but then the incident happened, and it got delayed until today.”
Morgan said, “How much money can those screenplays of yours make? From now on, just focus on taking care of yourself and the babies, Don’t worry about making a few extra bucks. As long as you safely deliver the children, the Wilson family will not let you down.”
