Chapter 295
Olivia thought about it for a moment. “I wanna see my best friend.
“No need to bid farewell. It’s enough to see her from afar.”
Everly had turned into a corporate ve recently. She was working overtime every day.
Olivia supposed that Everly had been searching for her everywhere after watching the news.
She didn’t have the courage to bid Everly farewell.
Besides, Olivia had guessed that there had been a lot of people spying on her.
It wasn’t easying this far. She didn’t want anyone to disrupt the n.
“Okay. I’ll help you with that.” Colin was always agreeable to her requests.
On the same day, Olivia saw Everly during lunchtime.
Everly was d in working attire, which she onceined about to Olivia.
She walked to the café like a lifeless doll.
After making her order, she rested her head and arms on the table.
Whenever her phone vibrated, she quickly checked the iing notification. Then, disappointment
appeared all over her face.
She didn’t seem to be enjoying her meal either. She kept stuffing food into her mouth.
It was as though the taste didn’t matter at all as long as it could fill her stomach.
She didn’t even notice that she had eaten celery, the food she hated the most.
She took a few spoonfuls of the food before picking her phone up again.
Olivia faced the back of Everly.
Thetter was looking at Olivia’s picture during their schooling days.
Some of the pictures were taken during embarrassing times in her life.
Previously, Everly even imed that she would disy them on a loop at Olivia’s wedding.
Unfortunately, Olivia didn’t hold a wedding. Neither did she marry the man she loved and became a
housewife like what she had dreamt of in high school.
Tears dripped onto the phone screen.
Olivia could hear Everly’s trembling voice, “Liv…”
Olivia burst into tears upon hearing that one word.
Everly wiped her tears clumsily. She footed the bill before leaving the café in a gloomy mood.
Before this, she was always observant of her surroundings. Olivia’s presence wouldn’t have gone
unnoticed by her.
However, Everly was overwhelmed by the news of Olivia going missing
That was how she had been living recently.
At first, she didn’t have the appetite to consume anything.
Later, when she slowly epted reality, she became a lifeless zombie.
It was a mere friendship, but their bond was rooted deeper than kinship.

Olivia looked at the sky, which suddenly turned cloudy.
She quickly bought an umbre and dashed out onto the street.
Everly was walking in the heavy rain in high heels. A passerby identally bumped into her as he was
in a rush.
In the past, she once joked that she would seize the chance to fall onto the ground and demand
compensation.
Yet, she was now looking ahead of her with empty eyes.
Water droplets kept running down her cheeks. No one knew whether it was because of the rain or
because she was crying.
Perhaps that was the only way she could finally vent her emotions.
“Liv, oh, Liv. Didn’t we promise to get old together? Why did you abandon me?”
She pped herself. “It’s all my fault. Why did I have to be on a business trip that day?
“I could’ve been by your side. Just how afraid you must’ve been at that time, Liv?”
An umbre sheltered her. Sensing something, she quickly raised her head to look at the iing
person.
The person holding the umbre was an old woman.
She helped Everly up. “Miss, it’s getting cold. Get up. You’re still young.
“What is there in life that you cannot surmount? Don’t cry.”
Everly cried like a kid who lost her toy. “Granny, I lost my best friend. I can’t find her.”
The old woman passed her the umbre. “Life is full of farewells.
“Miss, a departure isn’t necessarily a bad thing. All parting is for a better reunion.”
“Liv…”
An epiphany struck upon Everly. When she lifted her head, she thought she saw a crying Olivia in the
midst of the crowd.
