Chapter 209
“I don’t want any other reward. All I desire is Gina’s life. I want her dead.” Olivia’s eyes zed with
fury.
“You can rest assured. Our goals remain aligned, the blond man patted Olivia’s shoulder
reassuringly.
“Alright then, until our paths cross again. I look forward to seeing you bring your catch when we
meet again. Awaiting good news from you.”
Gina woke from her slumber, habitually checking her phone, but found no messages from Gabriel.
He must be upied, Gina thought.
She rose from her bed, preparing to head to the restaurant for a meal. Despite the avability of
room service, she felt the urge to move around.
“Ginal”
As Gina heard her name called by a familiar voice, she frowned but kept walking without slowing
down. Nevertheless, the person behind her quickened their pace and soon caught up.
E stepped in front of Gina, blocking her path.
“Gina, what’s wrong? You look pale, are you feeling ill? Where does it hurt?” E’s long-dormant
maternal concern seemed to awaken at that moment, and she eagerly expressed her concern.
Gina nced at her indifferently. “It’s none of your concern.”
A pang of hurt shed in E’s eyes, “Gina, I do care about you.”
Gina looked at her and let out a wry chuckle.
Remember that year when she returned to the Miller family? One night, she had a fever. She went
to the kitchen to get some water and medicine. E heard themotion and rushed over, her
words tinged with sarcasm.
“Why are you running around when you’re sick? Don’t infect the whole family, you troublemaker.”
“It’s just a fever.”
“A fever? Who knows if you’re telling the truth or not? Did you catch some strange illness in the
countryside to curs What rotten luck!” This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
At this moment, E gazed at her with a caring expression, genuinely expressing her desire to show
concern.
However, Gina was now devoid of any longing for familial bonds or expectations of family care
“Mother? Please spare me the title. It disgusts me,” Gina retorted with a steely gaze
E’s expression paled, stunned by Gina’s unyielding demeanor.
Yet, E persisted in attempting to portray her maternal affection “Gina, I understand you may seem
tough on the sur but you have a soft heart within. You must have arranged for Jason’s admission to
Prover Hospital, right? Otherwise, ho could he have been admitted so promptly? I know deep down
you still have us in your thoughts.”
“I realize Jason and I may have mistreated you in the past, but those times are behind us.
Whenever you’re ready to embr us again, we’ll be here. Take your time; reconciliation requires
patience.”

Chapter 209
Gina, listening to E’s words, felt as though she were being subjected to a form of self-hypnosis.
However, Gina dispelled E’s illusions with a direct rebuttal. “You’re mistaken. I didn’t orchestrate
Jason’s hospitalization. It was merely a stroke of luck. Another patient canceled their reservation,
and Jason was the beneficiary.”
E couldn’t believe it, convinced that Gina was refusing to acknowledge her involvement. “The
timing is just too perfect, Gina. I know Prover Hospital is well-managed, but I’m still worried. I’ve
been upied with looking after Jamestely and neglected you. It’s my fault, so I’d like the chance
to make it up to you, alright?”
Growing impatient, Gina responded curtly, “I don’t need it. And your attempts to please me are
laughable. Your disy of maternal affection is for the director of Prover Hospital, not for me. Let’s
end this. I have no interest in your performance.”
E widened her eyes, appearing utterly heartbroken. “Gina, do you see me as your enemy now?
I’m sorry for our past mistakes. I owe you an apology. I’ll apologize, even if it means kneeling before
you!”
With tears streaming down her face, E knelt before Gina.
Gina remained impassive.
Here it came again.
Gina had grown immune to E’s attempts at maniption, but it was almostical how E
persisted in resorting to such emotional tactics. Unfortunately, Gina no longer acknowledged E as
her mother, so she couldn’t be swayed.
Gina remained stoic as she walked past E.
E’s sobs echoed, but they failed to elicit any reaction from Gina
“E!” Noah hurried over. “What’s happening? Why are you kneeling?”
Noah looked up and spotted Gina’s figure, “Gina, stop right there! What did you do to E?”
Noah helped E to her feet and then swiftly caught up to Gina,
Once again intercepted, Gina’s expression darkened. “Td rather not resort to violence, but if you
keep provoking me, I’ll consider taking legal action. Coincidentally, we’re right by the hospital. You
can seek medical attention here.”
Noah’s frustration was evident. “Gina, I know you’re a big shot now, with all your fame and wealth
unting your power. But we haven’t been bothering youtely, have we? What did you do to E to
make her upset so much?”
“And making her kneel!”
“It wasn’t Gina’s idea for me to kneel. It was my own choice. I hope that by doing so, Gina can
forgive us.”
Noah was momentarily speechless. “E, what’s the point in talking to someone so heartless? We’ll
never measure standards in this lifetime!”
Noah sneered, “Didn’t she imply that our interest in getting close to her was solely because of her
role as the hospit director? Gina, are you really that naive? When you returned to the Miller family,
why didn’t you reveal your true id Why keep us in the dark about how capable and impressive you
are?”
“She went as far as pretending to be a simple country girl, leading us to misunderstand her! And
that’s what set off everything that followed!”
Noah’s implication was clear-it was all Gina’s fault for pretending to be a “country girl” from the start.
“You didn’t disclose your hidden identity because you never truly considered us family, fearing we
might ask for your he right?”
