You're The Best Medicine For Me novel Chapter 95

Bryan Moore did read Shirley Thomas’ mind. Both of her kids were the most important people in her life. She could not afford to collapse, or else they would be orphans.

By then, the lights were already turned off, Bryan was holding her left hand and lying beside her. Though they were near to each other, never once had their bodies made contact with each other.

While this wasn’t their first time sleeping on the same bed, thanks to Bryan’s actions that night, and what he said in the car, Shirley was flustered and struggled to fall asleep.

She struggled for quite some time before she finally fell asleep.

At the same night, Olivia Thomas rushed back to the Thomas family after she received the divorce documents.

She slammed the documents in front of George Thomas, stared at him angrily and said, “George, what’s the meaning of this?”

George glanced through the documents on the table and said without emotions, “I’ve already signed the document. We’ll add up both of our assets and divide them 50-50. Also, you and your daughter can have this villa.”

“Have you lost your mind!?”

Olivia picked up a teacup and smashed it against the floor.

The living room echoed with a loud shattering noise.

However, George was unmoved by this. He took out a cigarette, lit it and started smoking, “Then, I will sell my shares. If you wanna buy them, I can give you a low price. The Thomas Group will be in your hands.”

Olivia could not believe that this was happening. When she first received the divorce documents, she was extremely pissed off and wanted to take it out on George, while also shoving his little scheme back down his throat. However, as Olivia saw that George looked as if he did not care any longer, she started to feel a little worried.

She clenched her fists, glared at him and said, “Why are you divorcing me, George? You already know how much I sacrificed for the sake of our family, and now you’re divorcing me?”

Olivia, feeling emotional, charged at George and started pulling and pounding his hair and blouse. She yelled, “I’ve sacrificed my youth and efforts, and what I got in return is you treating me like this! If we were to divorce, you don’t deserve half of our assets. The reason how the Thomas family is in its current state is thanks to my daughter and her efforts…”

“Olivia!” screamed George as he heard Olivia’s last sentence. He angrily tossed the cigarette into a teacup, grabbed her arm and looked her in the eyes furiously, “How is the Thomas family in its current state? Is it really thanks to your daughter’s efforts? Or is it thanks to you lots manipulating the ever-living hell out of Shirley? How dare you say that you and your daughter were the ones responsible for bettering the family!? Just what on earth had both of you done behind my back?”

George had spent the whole day trying to calm himself down.

He hoped that he could divorce Olivia calmly. However, it turned out to be impossible.

As he thought of his other daughter, who suffered six years ago unbeknownst to him. He thought of him never fulfilling the responsibilities as a father for the past decades…

In short, he failed his daughter.

He stood up, and shoved Olivia back onto a sofa. He pointed at her and demanded, “Olivia, if you know what’s good for you, you will tell me exactly what happened to Shirley six year ago. Or else, I have no idea what’s going to happen to Sabina Thomas and the Thomas family as a whole.”

Olivia fell on the sofa and was startled. Even then, she still heard that George brought up the incident six years ago. She sat up while still stumbling occasionally, and looked back at George.

It was then that she realized that George had a grim face. His face and neck were red in colour, his eyes looked scarily angry, and as a whole he exuded nothing but pure rage.

During their entire twenty or so years of marriage, she never saw George with this face, and was properly frightened by him.

To cover up her fear, she put her hands on the sofa’s armrest, stood up straight and replied angrily, “It’s already been six years, why haven’t you forgotten about that damn girl?!”

“Why did Shirley die six years ago!?”

“Why did she die? Did you not check the footage back then? She was raped. When I and Sabina got to her, she had already lost her virginity. That night, she was raped by more than one man. She couldn’t live with the guilt, so she went overboard and jumped into the ocean. All of the sailors on the liner went and look for her, but all they found was her bloodstained clothes. She’s dead, George, and now you’re divorcing me because of Shirley?”

Olivia said with a straight face. She hated Shirley’s guts, but even then when she heard what happened to her that night, her heart still ached for a little while. Though afterwards, she was glad that Shirley died, as she was rid of an eyesore.

Shirley was the doom of the Thomas family.

And now, thanks to her, the Thomas family was fighting internally. Olivia was confident that she will not lose to a dead person.

However…

George slapped Olivia in her face with all of his might when she least expected it.

Slap!

Ah!

Olivia stumbled backwards and fell next to the sofa with a loud audible thud. She hit her forehead on a little table next to the sofa, and blood started gushing out from the wound immediately.

Butler Hood ran towards Olivia, held her body and said with a frightened tone, “Mrs. Thomas!”

Olivia touched her forehead and raised her head. The blood flowed from her eyebrows to her cheek.

She looked at George with anger and disappointment, sneered at him and said mockingly, “Well done, George. Now that you are capable, you’re going to divorce me, right? I’m telling you, that ain’t gonna happen! I want you to know, I can still control the Thomas family without the divorce. I want you to see, with your damn eyes, that my daughter Sabina is the best. And that daughter of yours, Shirley? She’s nothing but a dead person.”

“Mrs. Thomas, please stop talking. Mr. Thomas, Mrs. Thomas is hurt!” Butler Hood said. As she saw the blood on Olivia’s face, she was scared to the point where she’s shivering.

George was shivering himself, too. He then looked at the blood on Olivia’s forehead.

He was feeling guilty for hurting her, but the guiltiness was gone the moment he heard what Olivia said.

She’s utterly beyond redemption.

“Olivia, you’re going to regret this.” George muttered, and left before slamming the door.

As she saw George leave, Olivia yelled, “No! I will not regret this. You are the one who should be regretting, George! You better not come back and beg me, I’ll show you, that the Thomas family is better off without you!”

“Mrs. Thomas, please stop talking! Mr. Thomas has already left,” said Butler Hood, as she held Olivia’s arm and helped her onto the sofa, “I am going to give Miss Thomas a call.”

“Alright, hand me the phone, I’ll let Sabina know that I’m fine.”

Butler Hood took her phone out from her bag and handed it over to Olivia.

Olivia said while dialing Sabina, “Whatever happened here, stays here. Do not let Miss Thomas know about this.”

Seeing the blood on her face, Butler Hood worryingly said, “Mrs. Thomas, your wound is still bleeding, I’ll call an ambulance for you.”

“Very well.” said Olivia. The call went through, she calmed herself and greeted the recipient, “Sabina!”
