To the Love of My Life

Chapter 247: 247: You Finally Opened Your Eyes

Steve Burton’s mother frowned as she listened to Olivia Foster’s coarse language. Coldly, she said, “Take her out. Let her go back to her room and calm down by herself.”

Upon hearing herself being kicked out, Olivia’s anger escalated. Seizing the opportunity when Edward Woods wasn’t paying attention, she grabbed a plate from the table and hurled it toward Maya Mitchell’s head.

Having fought and made a scene for a long time, Olivia was already exhausted. The plate she threw, due to her lack of strength, didn’t even reach Maya’s face and fell onto the floor.

The plate shattered, and ceramic shards flew in every direction.

One of the shards flew straight toward Maya’s face.

Steve was sitting right next to Maya. Without hesitation, he reached out instinctively and blocked the shard from hitting her face.

With the momentum, the ceramic shard pierced into Steve’s palm.

Bright red blood trickled down the white ceramic shard, drip by drip.

Everyone in the room rose from their seats abruptly and gathered around, causing chaos in the dining room. “Quick, get some gauze!” “And the hemostatic medicine.”

“Disinfectant, too!”

Acting on impulse, Olivia made such a move, intending to hurt Maya but never expecting that in the end, it was Steve who was injured.

Staring at the blood seeping from Steve’s palm, Olivia miraculously quieted down.

Her face devoid of color, she stared blankly at Steve’s injured hand as if she had gone numb.

Steve’s cousin never expected things to escalate to this point. She feared that if Olivia stayed, she might cause even more trouble. So, she strode forward, pushed Olivia and steered her toward the door.

Only when Olivia reached the doorway did she gradually come to her senses.

She hadn’t shed a tear when Maya had gloated over her, but now, thinking of

Steve’s injured hand, her tears rolled down uncontrollably. She looked at Steve’s cousin, her voice quivering with sobs, and said softly, “Cousin, I didn’t mean it. I didn’t want to hurt Steve …”

As she spoke, Olivia’s tears fell even more heavily.

“Don’t say useless things now. Go back to your room and don’t attend the press conference this morning.” Steve’s cousin said, and then forcefully pushed Olivia out of the dining room and closed the door.

As Olivia stood alone by the doorway, she gazed at the tightly shut door and could faintly hear the anxious and chaotic voices inside due to Steve’s injury. Her tears flowed even more uncontrollably.

Although she was heartbroken and sad, she couldn’t help but grin, crying and laughing at the same time..
