Chapter 30: Deadly Revelations
(Olivia’s POV)
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Winters. We’ve done all we could”
Dr. Fletcher’s words hit me like a physical blow. My legs weakened beneath me, and I swayed unsteadily on my feet. If not for Lucas Blackwood’s steadying hand on my shoulder, I might have collapsed right there in the hospital corridor.
Am
you Mrs.
Mrs. Winters?” Dr. Fletcher asked, his voice softening as he took in my devastated expression.
“Yes,” I managed to whisper, my voice barely audible. I felt drained of all energy, hollow inside
The truth about my daughter’s death had been within my grasp. Now the only witness was dying, taking his testimony with him to the grave.
“He’s asking for you,” Dr. Fletcher said unexpectedly
My head snapped up. “What?”
“Roland Warner. He regained consciousness briefly and asked to speak with you. He was quite insistent.”
“He’s alive?” I could hardly believe it. “Can I see him?”
Dr. Fletcher nodded grimly. “Yes, but I must warn you–he doesn’t have much time. Minutes at most”
I didn’t wait to hear more. I stumbled toward the room he indicated, my heart pounding with desperate hope.
The medical staff had already left, giving Roland his final moments of privacy. The room was eerily quiet
except for the slowing beep of the heart monitor.
I rushed to Roland’s side, leaning close. “Roland, I’ve transferred the one hundred thousand dollars to your account. Tell me, who was it?”
Roland’s gaze was already unfocused, his eyes glassy with approaching death. His lips barely moved as he whispered, “It… it was your rival… Victoria… Frost…”
Hearing Victoria’s name sent a chill through my entire body. My pupils constricted sharply as rage and vindication coursed through me simultaneously.
Roland gasped for breath, clearly aware of his limited time. “Your daughter was rushed to the Medical Den for emergency treatment. The healers called my wife, asking her to come…”
He paused, fighting for each breath. “At that time, Victoria stopped her… She said her daughter Emma was also a match with my wife, and asked my wife to donate the kidney to her daughter, saying Emma’s life depended on it…”
My hands trembled as I gripped the edge of his bed. Victoria had intercepted Lily’s donor?
“She offered one hundred thousand dollars, and I agreed…” Roland continued, his voice growing weaker. “1 only found out a few days ago that my wife’s kidney wasn’t a match for Emma at all…”
His bloodshot eyes widened with the effort to communicate his final revelation. “Victoria didn’t want to save her own daughter… She wanted Lily dead!”

A violent cough wracked his body. He grabbed my arm with surprising strength, his eyes wide with terror “This woman, she’s no vicious… Not only did she deliberately kill your daughter… she’s also silencing me
Blood bubbled at the corner of his mouth. “I merely blackmailed her for a bit of money, and she took my life
for it‘
His grip on my arm tightened. “You… Don’t let her off…
With those final words, his hand slipped from my arm and fell limply to the bed. Roland Warner died with hist eyes wide open, staring at nothing.
I stood there, frozen, my eyes bloodshot and my body trembling like a leaf in the wind. Roland’s words echoed in my mind, each revelation more horrifying than the last.
Lily’s small face appeared before my eyes. My daughter had been so obedient and sensible throughout her illness. If Victoria hadn’t maliciously snatched the kidney donor, Lily could have lived. My daughter could have had a good life ahead of her.
Victoria!
My eyes burned with hatred. At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to tear Victoria Frost to pieces with my bare hands
I rushed out of the room without a backward glance, ignoring Lucas’s voice calling after me. The rain had intensified, but I barely felt it as I burst through the hospital doors.
The Silvercrest Pack Medical Den was less than two kilometers away from Rosewood Haven, where Victoria lived. Ethan had deliberately chosen that location for Emma’s convenience, never mind that it had made Lily’s treatment more difficult for me.
I ran through the downpour, each raindrop mingling with my tears of rage. In less than ten minutes, I stood at the entrance of Rosewood Haven, completely drenched.
This scene was like a bucket of ice water poured over me, chilling me to the bone.
I laughed bitterly, my eyes filling with fresh sorrow. With Ethan’s love shielding Victoria, I couldn’t touch her at
Each step felt like treading on sharp blades, the pain piercing my heart. Lily… The thought of my daughter being deliberately killed by Victoria, yet my inability to do anything to her murderer, overwhelmed me with guilt and self–blame.
My body weakened, and I collapsed in the rain, the cold pavement against my cheek barely registering in my
