Chapter 867
After Wade left, Olivia stared blankly at the document folder for a long time.
She had no idea what she should do with it.
‘If Zac doesn’t contact me, should I still give this contract to him?’
Everything that had happened recently was indeed giving her a huge headache.
‘But what needs to be done still needs to be done, right?’
Olivia stood up and looked at dry branches outside the window swaying like fierce beasts and could not help but sigh.
‘After fall is winter, but when will spring arrive?’
She had already begun to yearn for spring.
Olivia did not want Mrs. Simmons and the rest to overthink, so she discharged herself after two days.
Unexpectedly, when she returned to Elegance Gardens, she saw Mrs. Simmons busy in the kitchen.
“Godmother!”
Sam ran downstairs and hugged her. “You’re finally home! I’ve missed you so much!”
After saying that, he sniffed Olivia with his little nose and frowned.” Godmother, why do you smell like disinfectant? Where have you been? Did you lie to us?”
Olivia quickly pulled him aside. “Sam, don’t say that and make Mrs.
Simmons worry. Do you understand?”
Sam looked at her. “You lied to me. You didn’t visit your brother, you got admitted to the hospital, right?”
‘This kid is too smart.’
Olivia knew that she could not hide things from him. She sighed and whispered to him, “I got a cold a few days ago, so I went to the hospital for treatment. Don’t tell Mrs. Simmons, alright?”
Sam nodded. “I can keep this from Mrs. Simmons, but I still think that you’re lying to me.”
‘This kid…’
Seeing her expression, Sam pushed her upstairs. “Go change your clothes quickly so Mrs. Simmons won’t notice.”
“Good boy. Go help Mrs. Simmons.”
After changing, she ran into Mrs. Simmons serving the dishes.
“Miss, when did you arrive home? How’s Young Master Ian?”
She lied to Mrs. Simmons, saying that she had visited Ian for two days when she was actually hospitalized.
Olivia nodded. “Yeah, he’s fine. He’s already going back to school.”
“That’s great, I made some soup for all of you, including Ms. Lucas. I’ll bring it over to her later.”
“Mrs. Simmons, you just got discharged, so you should be resting. How can you put yourself to work like this? Let the driver handle matters. You don’t need to do it all on your own.”
Olivia helped Mrs. Simmons to a seat. “Mrs. Simmons, I really hope to not see you sick again. Please rest well, alright?”
Mrs. Simmons smiled. “Miss, I am born to be a hard worker. I feel uneasy just lying around and doing nothing. I need to have some work in hand to feel alive, especially when it comes to helping you. I like it.”
Olivia immediately teared up. Mrs. Simmons took care of her like a mother, which made her heart feel so warm.
Suddenly, Sam came over to hug them. “Mrs. Simmons, Godmother, don’t cry. I will eat more and grow faster, so I can protect and take care of both of you.”
Sam’s sensibility would always remind Olivia of Jess from back then. If not for his family, maybe he would not need to mature so much at such a young age.
‘He is still a kid…’
Two days later, Zac finally contacted Olivia and asked her to meet in the study room of Elegance Gardens at 3 P.M.
Olivia told Mrs. Simmons to bring Sam along to visit Kate in the hospital as she did not want them to worry.
There was still half an hour left until 3 P.M., and Olivia felt bored so she went to the study room, intending to look for a nice book to read while waiting.
Who could have known that some things could never be the same after this
