Chapter 557

Surprised, Everly held Olivia’s hand. “Farewell? Where are you going?”

“Don’t worry. I simply wanna go somewhere to get some rest.”

Everly couldn’t feel a sense of energy from Olivia’s all-black outfit. Olivia was giving off an aloof

demeanor.

Everly figured that Olivia might want to get some fresh air.

“Are you going to be gone for a long time?”

“Yeah, probably.”

“Well, it’s not bad to leave this saddening place.” The positive Everly didn’t even know how to comfort

Olivia.

What Olivia experienced wasn’t something that could be placated with mere words.

Converting anger and resentment into appetite might help, so Everly ordered a lot of expensive dishes.

“Eat. Have this caviar to your heart’s content. You don’t have to hold yourself back. I’m loaded with

cash.”

Olivia smiled. “Speak softer. People might think that you’re a rich lady who lacks foresight.”

“So what? I became rich with my capabilities. Liv, honestly speaking, I’ve always wanted to be

successful and become someone you can rely on. You helped me out many times during high school.”

“You’re successful enough now.” Olivia witnessed how much Everly grew.

Unlike Olivia, Everly was a career-oriented woman. Men had held Everly back in the past. Now that she

was single, she was on

a roll.

Everly finally found her desired path, and Olivia was genuinely happy for her.

Like what they did during their schooling days, they had a meal, went shopping, and watched a movie.

There was always a faint smile on Olivia’s face. When the night dawned, snowflakes fluttered along the

wind.

They were going to go their separate ways when Everly suddenly said, “Wait.”

She entered a store. Soon, she came out of the store with a scarf and wrapped it around Olivia’s neck.

“No matter what path you choose to take, I’ll always be supporting you. If you’re tired, just look back

because I’ll be right behind you.

“Take care of yourself. Keep in touch when you’re available. I’ll be at ease if I know that you’re doing

fine.”

It took Olivia a while before saying, “Okay.”

“Your body is weak, so don’t push yourself too hard. You should give in when the situation calls for it.

Leave it to the men.”

Olivia went silent for a moment again before responding, “Sure.”

“Be happy.”

“Yeah, you too.” Olivia wiped Everly’s tears away. “Bye, Eve.”

Olivia hopped into the car before it drove off. She glanced behind only to see Everly standing at the

same spot, watching her leave. Everly didn’t leave.

A cloud of melancholy tinged Olivia’s eyes. “It’s time to wrap things up over here,” she thought.

She decided to bid farewell to her past during this snowy winter.

By the time Olivia returned home, Penny and Madam Burgess were discussing tomorrow’s meal.

Olivia headed back to her room to wash up. Looking at the snow outside, she exclaimed in her head,

“Time does fly. It’s been a year.”

Ethan entered the room to see her back. She was quiet, like a porcelain doll.

“Have you really made up your mind?”

“Yes.”

“Actually, there’s no need to rush. You can wait until it gets warmer in spring next year.”

She turned around. “There’s no spring. Everywhere is hell to me. Ethan, if you truly love me, just let me

go.”

He gulped his saliva. “You should know that Volt Peak Mountain is not an ordinary place. If you go

there-”

“I know. It’s a dangerous place.” She smiled. “But there’s still a chance of surviving there. I will come

back alive like you did that year.”

He stared at her for a long time before sighing helplessly. “I just don’t know what to do with you.”

“Ethan, could you do me one last favor?”
