Chapter 556
Even After Death
Olivia went out on the day of the first snow.
She initially thought that the excessive training would worsen her illness, but it seemed like her
stomach hadnât caused her trouble since before she got pregnant.
Although she didnât know what was going on with the tumor, she was certain that her condition was
stable.
It didnât spread over her body, which was the best-case scenario for her.
It had been almost a year since she last went shopping or enjoyed life.
Olivia stood before the most famous shopping center. She could see a career woman in heels from
afar.
Wearing a wool coat over her, the woman strode over with hurried steps.
She stood under a large billboard and looked around until she heard a familiar voice. âEve.â
Everly turned to look back at Olivia, who was standing nearby in a black wool coat.
The latterâs hair, which was tied up, was longer than before. A pair of simple earrings hung on her
earlobes.
She still looked beautiful.
Olivia was like a sunflower in the past and then appeared like a magnolia flower; now, she was a black
rose that had a cold exterior.
She could only be looked at from afar. She wasnât someone to be messed with.
Everly knew that Olivia hid to deliver her babies, so they hadnât kept in touch.
She was overjoyed the moment she saw Olivia. Running in her heels, she threw herself at Olivia.
âYou finally contacted me! Do you know how much I missed you? I was afraid of exposing your
whereabouts, so I didnât dare to disturb you. I hadnât seen your babies, either.â
Not knowing how Olivia had been, Everly circled Olivia.
âYou seem more energetic than before. Your complexion seems better.
âNot bad, not bad. I was surprised to see you a moment ago. You look the same, but you feel like a
different person to me.â
Everly was overwhelmed with excitement, guessing that Olivia didnât bring her babies out due to their
young age.
âI was over the moon when you gave me a call last night. Letâs go! Itâs been a while since we last met.
Let me show you how much my wealth has improved right now.â
Excited, she took Olivia to one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city.
Everly didnât stop rambling throughout the journey, telling Olivia how she had been for the past year.
She got a promotion to a much higher position after going on business trips abroad with Henry and was
no longer an insignificant saleswoman.
She spoke for more than half an hour until they arrived at the restaurant.
Only when she took a sip of lemon water did she realize that Olivia had barely spoken. Olivia would
only look at her with a smiling face or give a brief response.
Everly finally stopped her stories, gazing at Olivia.
âLiv, youâre kinda weird. The mothers in my office never stop talking about their children. Why donât you
talk about yours? Oh, here are my gifts for them.â
She handed over a bag she had brought along, fishing out some golden accessories. âLook. This is an
anklet, bracelet, and zodiac necklace. Theyâre solid.â
Olivia smiled faintly. âDid you purchase them from a jeweler?â
âOf course! These are for my godson and goddaughter. What are their names? I still donât know that.â
Olivia raised the pretty anklet, caressing the word âpeaceâ carved in it.
It was such a nice blessing.
âGone.â
âWhatâs gone? Have you yet chosen a name for them? No rush. You can start with nicknames. Thatâs
how you get inspiration.â
Oliviaâs cold voice resounded. âI said, my children are gone.â
The smile on Everlyâs face stiffened, but she was reluctant to think of the negative side. âWhat do you
mean by âgone?â Are you
âIt means theyâve passed away. It was a preterm delivery, and they didnât survive.â
The bracelet fell off Everlyâs hand. âH-How could this be? Your first child was gone. These babiesâ¦
Why a premature delivery?
Olivia let out a bitter smile. âItâs a long story. Forget it. Itâs in the past.â
âLiv.â
âItâs alright. Itâs in the past. Eve, I called you out today to bid farewell.â
