Everly glared at the bodyguard. "Do you think I'm an idiot? Why would you think I need you to recount everything she said?"The bodyguard complained inwardly. It was so troublesome trying to communicate with Everly. Olivia noticed something was off. "Eve, where are you? Who are you talking to?"Everly didn't know how Olivia came back to life. But since she was still alive, Everly decided that life was worth living again.At least she didn't want Olivia to worry about her."It's nothing. I was just talking to my new bodyguard. "Liv, you may not know yet, but I've been living the high life since you were gone. I bring eight bodyguards wherever I go. "All of them are very well-built." "I'm glad to hear that. I'd hate it if your life were miserable.""Of course. Life is good. I'm staying at a villa and driving around in expensive cars. I finally got a taste of the life of a rich person."Although Everly was talking with a smile, Olivia could still sense it."Are you crying?"

Upon meeting again, Olivia seemed more cheerful than before. She would even crack a joke or two. Everly patted her on the head. "You've finally put that relationship behind you. I'm so happy for you.""That's right. I used to feel like my life was a living hell. Every day was torture for me. "Ever since I was reunited with my child, it was like a fog had lifted. Life was worth living again."Everly stared at Olivia with envy in her eyes. "That's nice.""You're not getting any younger. Have you not met anyone you wanted to date?"Olivia asked that question because she noticed that Everly seemed like she loved children. She seemed to sense that Everly felt uneasy when she brought that up. Everly would try to change the subject quickly every time. "Although I'm as beautiful as ever, and countless people want to be with me. But I'm too busy. I have no time for relationships."Olivia smiled. "So, should I be honored that a busy person like yourself took the time to meet with

Olivia remained silent on the way back. She kept thinking about the days when she and Everly were students. If they had known what would happen to them, would they have cherished their happiness more? Joshua helped carry Alicia out of the car when they got home. Olivia didn't head indoors straight away. She stood under the streetlamp and looked at the swirling snow while deep in thought. "I know you're here."A person walked out from behind the streetlamp. Ethan looked at her from afar and said, "I told you I won't disrupt your life."They looked at each other in silence. Olivia tried to look into his eyes, but she realized she couldn't discern the emotions within. "Thank you for that night."It didn't matter what happened between them. If he didn't find a way to get the money to save her, she would be doomed if she fell into the hands of those people. "It was my fault for letting them get to you, Ms. Fordham."He seemed to have stood there for some time. There was

The innocent boy didn't know what happened in the past few years. Olivia said gently, "He's out doing business overseas. Did he visit you frequently in the past?""In the first two years, he would help me with my homework personally and look at my paintings. I haven't seen him much in the past two years. "He must've been busy. The last time I saw him was around six months ago. He lost a lot of weight."Norman scratched his head. "About that, Ms. Olivia. I don't know how you feel about Mr. Miller. At first, I thought he was the worst person in the world. "After I got to know him, I realized that he didn't like to talk much, but he is a thoughtful and responsible man."Olivia didn't want to talk about Ethan. So, she brought up the reason for visiting. "Has Jack ever contacted you?""Jack has always been elusive. He visited a few times when I started school, but I haven't seen him since then.""Are you able to contact him?"Norman shook his head. "I have his old number, bu

Everly's face had slimmed down considerably. The caregiver brought her dinner over and said, "Ms. Hilton, you just had a miscarriage. You need to rest and recover. You have to eat more food. "You're still young and can recover quickly. You'll be able to get pregnant again soon.""Take it away.""Ms. Hilton, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just a lowly employee."As soon as the caregiver said that, Everly swept everything off the tray, scattering the food onto the floor."Get out."The caregiver carefully picked up the scraps and broken plates. She didn't dare to utter another word. Looking at the snow outside her window, Everly finally understood how Olivia felt. One thing didn't make sense to her. Henry already knew that Olivia was in Aldenvine. He wouldn't keep that a secret from Ethan. Wouldn't Ethan be overjoyed to know that Olivia was still alive? Why would he leave Oliva to her own devices? Did he really come to terms with her departure?But Eve
