Chapter 1515
The scarce number of visitors caught Olivia's attention. Something felt off, so she asked, "Does Ms. Lovell have a family?"If someone was buried in their hometown, it should mean their family was around. However, there were no flowers on her gravestone on her death anniversary.Even though Sean didn't end up becoming their son-in-law, he should've paid a visit to Ginger.It had been hours since he arrived at the village. Considering how small the village was, the villagers should've heard of his arrival by now.Reginald let out a heavy sigh. "Ms. Lovell had an ill-fated life. She barely got out of the mountains and had a bright future ahead, yet she passed away in an accident. "Her family, who were informed and rushed over to collect her body, ended up falling off the cliff, too. Because her younger brother was in distress and drove the car too fast.""The whole family passed away?"He nodded. "Yes, in that horrible fall. Ms. Lovell's sister-in-law was still alive because sh

Sean would visit Ginger's gravestone on her death anniversary. His feelings for her never changed. "Gigi, this will be my last visit. I won't dwell on the past anymore. If you're somewhere up there, I'm sure you'd be happy to hear this—I've gotten over it." His finger caressed the picture on the gravestone. Tears were pooling in his eyes. "I'm really sorry for what happened that year."Had it not been for him, the Lovell family wouldn't have died.The yarrows danced, and the apricot blossom trees swayed along with the wind like dancers tuning in the beautiful nature.Olivia noticed an old lady working in the field.Standing in the sea of flowers, the old lady stared at Sean. She caught Olivia's gaze and frantically shifted her eyes away to continue working.Olivia narrowed her eyes. She informed Willow of something before walking to the old lady.Olivia noticed that the old lady was tearing up. The old lady knew Sean.The whole Lovell family was dead, and none of their rel

Olivia was wearing a mask with an ordinary look.But when she smiled, the sunlight reflected brilliance through her eyes, adding luster to her face.The way they shared eye contact under the sun was a nice picture to take in.Suddenly, a menacing gaze caught Olivia's attention. She looked back only to see that same old lady again. The latter was staring at their holding hands expressionlessly.Then, the old lady approached them. It was a surprise, considering how she ran away a while ago."Mr. Sean, are you here to visit Ginger again this year?"Sean withdrew his hand. "Yes. Long time no see, Mrs. Powell."Reginald brought out some gifts from the car. It seemed like they were old acquaintances.Claire Powell wiped her hands with her apron. "I've made something. The usual. It's getting dark. It's dangerous to travel right now. You can stop at my place for the night and leave tomorrow."Sean turned toward Olivia. "What do you think, Dr. Fordham? It's getting late."Olivia l

Olivia's eyes narrowed. "What's wrong, Mrs. Powell?"Claire picked up the pillow cover, flustered. "Just a normal day for an old granny."She quickly made the bed. "Here, Dr. Fordham. I'm cooking some meat, so I should get going."She left in haste. Olivia's eyes didn't leave her back.Right then, Ethan called Olivia. She scanned the area, making sure that there was no one else before answering the phone."Liv, I found something. The Lovells were dead a few years ago, but…" he drawled as though there was a twist to the story."But what?" she urged."There's a loophole. When Sean was undergoing surgery in the hospital, it was a distant relative who confirmed the Lovell's bodies. "That person vanished after the family was buried. "Ginger lived in Peach Village. The villagers put a lot of importance on weddings and funerals. If someone gets in trouble, the whole village will lend a hand. "For burials, it can only be done after the head of the village chooses a date for it. Th

Olivia's children had faith in her the most. Thus, Willow believed that Olivia had her reasons for acting so out of character.Sean was equally dubious as well, but he brushed it off since she always took care of him whenever they were out.He trusted her after spending time with her for a week. In addition to that, she had a daughter. Hence, he didn't look too much into her actions.Still, it was undeniable that their actions appeared intimate to others. Olivia secretly observed Claire, whose eyes flashed with something evil.Their eyes met, and Claire quickly shifted her gaze. As Olivia had expected, something was up with Claire.After dinner, the sky darkened, and the village became quiet. Crickets sang, and the dogs barked sometimes.After the meal, the bodyguards patrolled the area before getting into the cars for a break, leaving only two to watch the night.Olivia asked Claire to prepare warm water so that Sean could have a foot spa as usual, but the usual acupunc

Olivia waited for a few minutes and sneaked out of the room.Since Willow was wearing a bell, and they had no clue what was happening outside, Olivia let her stay in the room.Standing by the door, she could see the bodyguards on duty were sleeping. The same could be observed in the bodyguards in the cars.It was as though a witch had cast a spell to send everyone in this world to dreamland.Olivia made sure that the bodyguards were safe before tiptoeing to Sean's room.Whatever the fake Claire wanted to do could be related to him.Through the crevice by the rusted window, she could see Claire facing her back at her.As Olivia had expected, "Claire" removed her mask to reveal the beautiful face hidden beneath.To Olivia's surprise, it was Ginger!Ginger was still alive!Her tresses cascaded behind her white silk nightgown, which outlined her curves perfectly. Sean fell asleep due to the drug. She sat by the bed, her fingertips tracing his face while her eyes were teary.Ob

Vance and Vanta still couldn't believe it in the beginning. The rodents didn't show any signs of intention to harm them and dug into the ground instead, flinging their claws.The men gaped. Vance wished he could take a picture of the unbelievable scene and share it on his social media.With the help of the rodents, they saw the coffin appearing soon after.The dark surroundings and the moonlight made it look eerie.The fearless Olivia pointed at it. "Open it.""Okay." The men removed the nails to fling the cover open, mentally preparing themselves at the same time. They looked into the content. Instead of a human skeleton, they saw bones of wild cats and dogs!"What the? Didn't they say the Lovells were dead?""Dr. Fordham, should we open the remaining coffin?""No. Bury it." Olivia took a video of it as evidence.Willow blew the flute again, and the rodents dispersed under her orders, more obedient than any domestic animals ever.While they were burying the coffin, Olivi

"Ginger noticed, Dr. Fordham. It's not safe here. Let's get out of here, fast!" Vance urged Olivia.She threw a bottle at him. "Here's the antidote. Wake everyone up. There's only one way out of the village. They haven't gone far. Protect Mr. Sean at all costs."Avery sent help. It would take at least 30 minutes before they arrived by helicopter."Understood."Vance and Vanta woke everyone up. Reginald shook his head, trying to shake off the dizziness. "Wasn't I texting my wife? Why did I fall asleep? Oh, I feel dizzy."Before this, they would sleep through the night and wake up after the drug wore off. Thus, there was no abnormality.Now that someone woke them up by force, their body couldn't get used to it."Mr. Lind, Ginger took Mr. Sean away. We have to go after them.""Dr. Fordham, are you talking in your dream? Ginger's been dead for many years. Only her bones are left in this world. She—""She and her family staged their deaths. While you were asleep, I dug up the
