Chapter 789
Olivia looked at him in confusion, âIs there anything else?â
Logan took something out of his pocket. He said shyly, âHow can you not get a present for your birthday?
âThai is something I got for myself back when I was out and about, working different jobs.
âItâs a lucky charm that has kept me alive through several close calls. So, I want to give it to you, Ms. Fordham.â
Logan held a crescent-shaped pendant in his palm.
âThat wonât do. Itâs your lucky charm. How can I possibly take it from you?
Logan put the pendant in her hand and said, âTake it. Iâm not taking on any dangerous jobs anyway. I hope it brings you some good luck.
âItâs nothing too precious, so I hope you wonât dislike it.â
Olivia saw that he was adamant about this, and it was a kind gesture.
Thanks. Iâll gladly accept it.â
After she closed the door, she examined the pendant closely. The necklace wasnât gold or silver but colored threads. She didnât even know what material the pendant was made of.
It didnât seem like plastic or look like any type of gemstone. The design looked nice.
She also wished for a healthy body, so she hung the pendant around her neck.
Olivia wanted nothing else. She just wanted to lead a peaceful and healthy life.
Shept soundly that night.
Her interactions with Logan remained the same. He didnât try to get closer to Olivia just because he helped her celebrate her birthday.
He still kept her instructions to heart. When nothing was going on, he would stay far away from her and never approach.
After two more months of rest, three months had passed since she ended chemotherapy.
The side effects lessened considerably. Olivia was no longer bound to her wheelchair. She could walk
again.
So, there wasnât a need to keep Logan around anymore.
She checked online and realized that Ethan was still in Vuckburg, which meant that was the best time for
her to return to Aldervine
On that day, Keith and Irene came to visit her. She told them her request
She wanted to go back to Aldenvine by ship. If she were smuggled into the city, it would lower her chances of being found out
âWhy do you want to go back? Is there anything youâre unhappy about here?â
âNo I am very happy here. But I have something very important that I have to do back there. Keith, youâre the only one that I can count on.â
Irene shook her head. âNo, Olivia I wonât object to your leaving after six months. But it has only been three months. Iâm worried about you.
âBesides, isnât Aldenvine a sad place for you? Why do you want to go back there?â
âThereâs a reason why I must go back. Olivia couldnât tell them what it was.
The two of them couldnât help but agree because they couldnât convince her to stay. They were also afraid that she would sneak off by herself.
âGive me a few days. Iâll help arrange the trip for you. You have to be prepared, too. Going by the sea route. isnât that simple.
âIf itâs a cargo ship, you might be on the sea for a couple of months. The waters can get very rough. Will
you be able to handle it?â
âYes.â
She cou handle any hardship if it were for the sake of being reunited with her children.
She had to go back to Aldenvine even if it was raining knives.
She had already missed the most important years of her childrenâs lives. All she wanted was to make it up
to them.
âSince youâve already made up your mind. We wonât force you to stay. Wait for my word.â
âThanks.â
Olivia looked at Logan, who was playing with Snowball in the yard.
She hesitated briefly before saying, âLogan is a good man. I donât need a bodyguard anymore. Can you get
him a good job?
As if sensing her gaze, Logan looked at her through the window and smiled at her.
