Chapter 256 The Night Before Surgery
"Really?" She looked up, her eyes full of expectation.
Ruby gave her a gentle smile, "Of course it's true, I never lie."
Olivia was so excited that she didn't know what to say, her face was full of pleasant luster and her eyes
were amazingly bright.
Her two small hands grasping tightly, immersed in this happiness, her eyes even involuntarily
reddened.
"Mom, you must keep your words, when the time comes, we and Dad go to the amusement park
together!"
As Levi was mentioned, Ruby's eyes flickered slightly and she didn't say anything, but only gave a nod.
At that moment, as if remembering something, Olivia slightly retreated from her arms and tilted her
head to look at her, her eyes covered with caution.
"Mom, have you been having fighting with Dad lately?"
Upon hearing this, Ruby was a bit surprised and froze for a moment, "Why do you ask that?"
"Because you and Dad don't talk much these days!"
The young girl said in a serious manner, then before Ruby could respond, she anxiously persuaded
Ruby.
"Mommy, Daddy has you in his heart, he treats you so well, can you not separate with him and let him
be my daddy forever?"
Not expecting her to say that, Ruby was even more surprised.
"You like Levi as your father that much?" She asked.
Olivia nodded solemnly.
"Yeah, I like him a lot, and I don't want anyone to be my dad but him, so mom, don't fight with dad,
okay?"
Ruby just felt amused at this moment.
She did not have a fight with Levi, but seeing that he did not speak properly, she was unhappy with it,
and that was all.
And she had never liked to coax the angry people.
He was always nonchalant, so she simply did not say anything.
She did not expect that this little girl would actually care so much.
At that moment, she rubbed the little girl's soft hair, smiling.
"Well, you don't have to worry so much, this is between us adults, you just need to rest and prepare for
tomorrow's surgery at ease. When you are well, we will go home, okay?"
The little girl smiled and had to nod her head in response.
After obediently getting back into the quilt, after hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind to
ask.
"Mom, can I ask who donated the bone marrow to me? Have you already found that man?"
At the word, Ruby's hand tucking in the blanket for her gave a slight beat, and she raised her eyes to
meet the little girl's preoccupied eyes.
Seeing her nervousness, after a moment, Ruby withdrew her hand, looking as normal, not answering
the question.
"Olivia, do you want to know who your real father is?"
The little girl hesitated, nodded and then shook her head.
Seeing this, Ruby couldn't help but gave a smile, "Do you want to know or not?"
"Neither." There was a moment of silence before the young girl opened her mouth in a sullen voice.
"I'm worried that I'm going to lose dad in case I find out who my real father is."
Ruby understood, to which, for a time, did not know what to say.
Should she tell Olivia right now that her real father was, in fact, her favorite dad?
After thinking about it for a moment, she finally decided to keep her mouth shut for now.
After all, the impact of this matter was not small, she was afraid that after this little girl knew about the
truth, her emotional ups and downs must be very big.
And, she wanted Levi to tell Olivia himself.
Thinking about this, she smiled gently.
"Olivia, don't think so much, the most important thing right now is your surgery, nothing else matters,
just think about being strong, mom and dad will be waiting for you outside the operating room, you hear
me?"
Since she had said so, Olivia did not ask further questions, obediently nodded her little head and
closed her eyes.
Before entering dreamland, her could not help but think, always feeling that her mother was much
gentler and closer than before, and that strange sense of alienation seemed to be finally fading away.
After the little girl had fallen asleep, Ruby walked out of the ward and saw Levi standing by the window
at the end of the corridor, his back looking thin.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she walked over.
"Why are you standing here? If you gave a cold, you won't be able to perform the surgery tomorrow." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
As she spoke, she closed the window.
Levi looked at her sideways and asked softly, "Is Olivia asleep?"
Ruby nodded, then with raised eyebrow, she couldn't help but say, "Olivia is now becoming more and
more fond of you and dependent on you, and has even begun to resist her biological father whom she
has yet to meet because of you, what are you going to do? When exactly are you going to tell her the
fact that you are her real father?"
Levi was stunned, and only after a few moments did he react, and the corners of my lips were gently
pursed.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
This was not a trivial matter, he did not know how to say to Olivia, also did not know how to face her,
moreover could not imagine how would Olivia feel when he knows about this matter.
Ruby looked at his sullen and resolute side face, and for some reason, felt funny.
"It seems that you finally have something to be afraid of, and you actually do not dare to confess your
identity to your own daughter."
Hearing that, Levi’s brow wrinkled, his face slightly sunken, his lips pursed into a straight line.
Seeing him tense up, Ruby raised her eyebrows and sighed.
"Okay, okay, I won’t tease you, in fact, it is not a big deal, Olivia is so fond of you, if she knows that you
are her real father, she will be very happy. And if you keep her in the dark, she will be worried all the
time."
At these words, Levi was silent for a moment, and only then did his taut cheeks relax slightly, nodding
gently, "I know."
Seeing this, Ruby did not say more, "Go back and have some rest early, you have to do surgery
tomorrow."
At this, she was to turn to leave, but as she stepped away, she was caught by Levi by the hand.
She froze and looked back toward him, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Levi stared at her, and after a few moments, he said nothing and let go of her hand, "Nothing, go and
have some sleep."
