Chapter 247


    Keith and Olivia chatted a little about what was going on in their lives. Olivia had always felt guilty for


    the fact that Ethan had banished Keith because of her.


    Keith’s voice was as gentle as always. He was studying overseas, and he had already gotten used to


    the new surroundings.


    He even got himself a nice girlfriend. When he returned in a few years, he would take over the position


    of head of the hospital. So, his studies weren’t entirely a bad thing


    He arranged a stomach check-up for Olivia tomorrow.


    “Olivia, I’m truly d that you can move on and start life anew.”


    “I’ll try my best to live a good life, Keith. Be it a day or a month, I’ll wee tomorrow with hope.”


    A woman’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Keith, I messed up again…”


    Smiling, Olivia ended the call. “Go ahead, Keith.”


    That night, she finally rxed. She went and took a bath.


    She even poured out some wine for herself after that. Standing on the balcony, she listened to the sea


    breeze as she raised her ss.


    She shouted at the sea, “Olivia, you have to live on!”


    Early the next morning, she took the day off. She put on a simple white dress, then got Everly toe


    along to visit their old school.


    It had only been a few years, but the surroundings had changed a lot. There were more shops and


    buildings near the school


    now.


    The morning breeze ruffled the girls’ ponytails and the green shoots on the trees. The birds twittered as


    they flew across the blue sky.


    Steam rolled out of the roadside stalls, and the delicious smell of food wafted in the air.


    The sunlight bounced on Olivia’s bright face. Everything was just right, and she could finally fall in love


    with this broken world again.


    Everly chatted with Olivia, talking about interesting things in the past. When she mentioned Josh, a


    look of disappointment would appear on Everly’s face.


    Olivia patted her on the shoulder. “Eve…”


    Everly quickly put on a smile. “I’m fine. I’m not as weak as you think.


    “I’ve been quite busy these days. I’m busy signing stuff and getting used to the newpany. I’m also


    trying hard to get close to my colleagues and improve myself.


    “I thought I would be sad, but the sadness is taken over by the trivial things in life. I’ve even started to


    forget the things I thought I would remember forever.”


    Everly took Olivia’s hand. “Liv, I believe you can do it too. Give yourself some time. You deserve the


    best.”


    “Yes, I believe it too.”


    Going to a nearby flower shop, Olivia bought two bouquets. She gave one to Everly. Then, they held


    the bouquets against each other.


    “Cheers to our wonderful life.”


    Olivia had her check-up done with the doctor Keith had arranged for her. Once back home, she put the


    flowers into a vase.


    Looking at the pretty flowers, she smiled.


    When she gave herself the flowers, she also vowed to pursue freedom.


    The results would be out in 28 hours. Olivia slept soundly that night. The dark sea no longer swallowed


    her in her dreams.


    Instead, she saw a child running toward her in a field of flowers. The child ced a flower crown on her


    head.


    “Please be happy, Mommy.”


    Olivia hugged the child. But when she looked at the child’s face, she found herself gazing into Connor’s


    eyes.


    The dream ended suddenly. Olivia looked at the sunlight outside the window, smiling in exasperation.


    “Why did I dream of that child again?” she wondered.


    She drew the curtains back, then reached out to touch the sunlight shining in.


    When her heart was warm, she noticed that the sunlight was warm as well.


    After getting ready, she went to thepany. She was ready for her new journey.


    In the lobby, she saw Ethan, who was surrounded by people. It was a stark contrast to her, who was all


    alone.


    Like many other employees, she greeted him politely, “Mr. Miller.”

    He nodded, then looked away. He passed by her without emotion.


    It was as if the two never knew each other.


    She walked toward the crowded elevators meant for everyone else. Ethan headed for his exclusive


    elevator instead.


    They were like parallel lines that would never meet. This was the rtionship they should have.


    It was only then that she understood. The most cruel words in this world weren’t “I’m sorry” or “I hate


    you”. They were “We can never go back to how it was before”.


    Olivia pressed the button to close the elevator doors. Shepletely shut Ethan’s figure out of her life.
