Chapter 18 Catherine walked in just in time to see Lillian's tearful expression and immediately pulled her into a comforting hug . " What happened , sweetheart ? Did someone upset you ? " Victor and Sebastian quickly surrounded her , all asking if she was okay . Olivia watched them , three people who had said they came to pick her up from the hospital , yet completely ignored her . A sharp bitterness welled up in her chest . Maybe finally realizing how awkward things looked , Catherine hurried to introduce Lillian . " This is Lillian . We adopted her a few years ago . She's your … sister , sort of . " " Olivia , you're her big sister now . You should look after her . " With one hand holding Lillian's and the other reaching for Olivia's , Catherine tried to connect the two of them . But Olivia now understood everything the moment she looked at the girl who looked just enough like her to be unsettling . " So this is the big surprise ?" She yanked her hand away and glared at them . " Do you not like me , Olivia ? " Lillian asked softly , her voice filled with hurt . At that , Sebastian's face darkened and he immediately scolded . " Olivia ! Where's your manners ? Lillian is part of our family now . How can you treat her like this ? " Olivia could hardly believe her ears . Her brother , who used to cherish her more than anything , was now defending a stranger over her ? " I don't want her as family . I was in a coma for five years to save you people , and now you replace me with a stand - in , someone to carry your memories of me ? And you expect me to welcome her like nothing happened ? How is that even fair ? " The room fell into an awkward , suffocating silence .

" Olivia ! Whether you accept it or not , Lillian is your sister now . " " This is our decision . You don't get to question it . " Olivia looked at them , her heart twisting with grief . Her entire body felt cold . Ethan pulled her into his arms . " It's okay , Olivia . I'm here for you . " He was the only one she could count on now . " Ethan , can you take me home ? Please ? " Her voice trembled . She couldn't bear to stay in that hospital room for even one more second and couldn't stand the sight of any of them . Ethan shot the Sinclair family a cold , sharp look . His words were blunt and scathing . " Olivia is your real daughter . The one who's been part of your lives for over twenty years . The one who nearly died for you . And this is how you treat her ? " " Well then , if the Sinclair family won't treat her right - I will . " He took her hand and walked away . Once they were in the car , Olivia could no longer hold back her tears . She couldn't understand what had changed . Her parents , and her brother used to love her . And now , just because of Lillian's tears and a few soft - spoken words , they were all turning on her ? " I only have you now , Ethan . " Watching her cry , Ethan finally understood just how unforgivably wrong he'd been in his past life . He had joined the Sinclair family in turning against her . He had believed Lillian's manipulative little lies and let Olivia suffer for it . The pain of that realization hit him like a blade to the chest . But thank God .

I'll love you forever . I'll never leave you again . " Ethan brought Olivia back to the cozy home they once shared . The moment she stepped inside , she was taken aback . Under soft golden lights , colorful balloons cast glowing shadows along the walls , filling the room with a dreamy , romantic atmosphere . Her favorite music played in the background , like the soundtrack to their love story . Balloons formed a pathway from the front door , leading her into a celebration of love . In the center , dozens of candles had been arranged into a giant heart , their flames flickering gently like tiny beating hearts , each one glowing with Ethan's affection . In the heart's center sat a bouquet of vibrant red roses , their petals dewy and glistening like morning tears . Rose petals , red as fire , were scattered around the candles , reflecting the glow and creating a romantic atmosphere that felt like a dream . In every corner of the room were photos of them together , each one filled with joyful smiles , capturing countless precious memories . Some were framed and hanging on the wall , others lay casually on the table , each one telling a part of their story . There were even her favorite plush toys , all neatly arranged like tiny witnesses to the love in the room . Olivia stepped into the room , utterly moved by the care and devotion Ethan had poured into this surprise . " Olivia , will you marry me ? " Ethan dropped to one knee , eyes full of sincerity . " Yes , I will . " The proposal that never came to pass in their last life was finally fulfilled in this one . Chapter 18
