Chapter 777
Every second in sickness felt like years, let alone a month.Olivia sighed, hoping she could contact Jack as soon as possible. She wished she could at least have a picture of her children.However, he seemed to have a special identity. Hence, she dared not contact him via the previous number. She couldn't contact him at all.Meanwhile, Ethan, who had waited for eons, finally received new footage of Olivia.Judging from how it had been days since she last headed to the yard, she was very weak. Today, she was out in the yard in a wheelchair.He touched the screen, thinking that she appeared skinnier than before. Her cheeks were no longer chubby, and her chin seemed sharp. Her eyes were bigger than usual."Is this the sixth time?""Yes, the last one. Now, all she has to do is to get some rest.""Based on Liv's character, she won't trouble others for a long time. She will leave once she gets a little better. Ask someone to keep an eye on the vicinity.""Alright, Mr. Miller. Do y

Hearing that, Olivia accidentally let her phone slip through her hand. It dropped onto the floor.The thud surprised Irene, who had been on the phone with Keith for a while.She hurriedly hung up the call and looked at Olivia. "Olivia, what's the matter?"Olivia seemed pale. "Nothing."Irene picked up Olivia's phone and saw the screen showing Ethan's face.After wiping the phone screen, Irene handed it over to Olivia while comforting her."Put your worry at rest, Olivia. He doesn't know that you're alive. It's time to walk out of his shadow."Irene didn't know what Ethan had done to Olivia that the latter was so afraid of him.Olivia nodded, but she couldn't shake off the fear. Her hunch kept telling her that he was speaking to her."Right, there's no way he knows that I'm still alive," she muttered.She tried to persuade herself in her head. "If he knew that I'm still alive, he wouldn't have let me wander out here. He would've asked someone to bring me back to him."After c

Olivia felt warm when she looked at their kind and sincere faces. She had been through a lot of hardships and met a lot of bad people. But there were also nice people who came along and helped her. Her life wasn't just filled with misfortune. At least she was lucky just this once."Alright. But I am much better now. Irene can go back to work. She doesn't have to take care of me anymore." "But—""That settles it. I'd feel bad if either of you wasted any more time on me. This is supposed to be your love nest, and I shouldn't impose on both of you for too long."I'll get myself a smaller condominium. All I need is a caregiver who can cook. I can even go downstairs for walks occasionally." Keith didn't want to trouble Olivia over minor issues. So, he agreed to her proposal. "Alright. I'll get someone to arrange that for you." Keith was very efficient. He quickly found a new place for Olivia. It was a luxurious condominium on the first floor that came with a yard, which wo

Olivia was still calm. She asked, "Are you in need of money? Is there anyone else in your family?"Logan scratched the back of his head. "Yeah. My mother is living in my hometown, and there are also a few cows.""You're not married?""People in my profession don't have time for love. Even if I get married, my wife would be alone most of the time. So, I decided not to put any woman through that." Olivia continued to ask, "Where did you used to work?""I've been wandering around my whole life. My family was poor when I was young. I enlisted in the army later. "After I was discharged, I worked in many different places. I've worked in casinos and pubs. I've worked as a personal bodyguard and hired muscle. I've worked all the hardest jobs for money.""Who was your previous employer?"Olivia wasn't the kind and innocent girl she used to be. Her expression was calm, but she exuded a commanding presence. She became more mature, and she no longer trusted anyone. Logan answered smo

Two uneventful weeks went by. Olivia was satisfied with Logan's performance. He was basically a ghost. During the day, he would be in the yard when she was in the house. He wouldn't even enter the living room, much less the master bedroom. He would only return to his room after Olivia was asleep. The following day, he would already be exercising in the yard when Olivia woke up. Whenever she wanted to go out, she would call for him, and he would push her wheelchair. Occasionally, they would go out shopping at the supermarket. Other times, they would take a walk around the neighborhood. Logan rarely talked. He would only speak up when absolutely necessary. So, most of the time, people would even forget he existed. That was until one day when he suddenly knocked on the glass door outside the living room.Olivia opened the door and looked at him calmly. "What is it?"A flash of awkwardness flashed on his blank face. "Ms. Fordham, I saw a kitten outside. It looked kind of

The first thing that appeared in Olivia's mind after Logan said that wasn't Snowball. It was Ethan's face. She was so stunned that she trembled. Logan slowly added, "Maybe your cat has come back for you. Every meeting is meant to be. Perhaps your cat has returned to you in a different form."Olivia's brows unfurrowed. That explanation made her feel better. Everyone should have a new chance at life. Snowball was like that; she was the same. When they arrived at the veterinarian clinic, the veterinarian performed a thorough check on the kitten. He noticed that Olivia was very tense the whole time. She was worried that the kitten might have a weak immune system. It would be bad if it was infected with something like the feline panleukopenia when it was a stray. The veterinarian took off his gloves and reassured her, "Don't worry. The kitten is in good health. "It's just a little dirty. It doesn't even have ear mites. We just need to clean it up and vaccinate it. Miss, ple

Olivia wondered why she would relate an honest man like Logan to Ethan."Do you like cats?""Yeah. I had a pet cat back in my hometown when I was young. But we never fed it anything special, just leftovers."Olivia had been putting on a stiff expression on most days, but she finally smiled at that moment. "If you like it, you should play with it more often. Kittens have a lot of energy, and I am sick. So I can't play with Snowball too much." Olivia's legs were still in bad condition. She still couldn't crouch. If she moved too much, she would start to feel dizzy. It was a good thing Snowball was very well-behaved near her. It would lay quietly on her things and keep her company. Logan scratched his head. "If you don't mind, Ms. Fordham. I can take care of Snowball.""Thanks for putting up with my requests."'"It's no trouble at all. Are you going to be sitting here for some more time?" Logan looked at her."Yeah.""One moment."Logan went to the living room, took a blan

"Have you seen a cave full of fireflies? It was so beautiful. The fireflies were like stars in the sky. "There was also a place called the Earth's Eye. It's a colorful lake that looks like an eye when you look down from above. "There's a place called Death Gorge. Have you heard of it? "There are also glaciers in the North Pole that flow into the valleys. They form icefalls that cascade down the side of the valleys. It is truly an amazing view."Olivia's eyes were filled with yearning as she listened. "How nice would it be if I could see these sceneries in person? It's embarrassing, but I've never been to many places.""It's okay, Ms. Fordham. You'll be fine. I've seen many people with terminal diseases survive miraculously. "I'll bring you to these places when you get better, as long as you pay me. How about that?"A breeze blew and sent shivers down Olivia's spine. She pulled the blanket tighter around her. Then, she raised her hand and caught a falling plum blossom.
