Chapter 877
Even After Death
Olivia remained silent on the way back. She kept thinking about the days when she and Everly were
students
If they had known what would happen to them, would they have cherished their happiness more?
Joshua helped carry Alicia out of the car when they got home.
Olivia didnât head indoors straight away. She stood under the streetlamp and looked at the swirling
snow while deep in thought.
âI know youâre here
A person walked out from behind the streetlamp.
Ethan looked at her from afar and said, âI told you I wonât disrupt your life.â
They looked at each other in silence. Olivia tried to look into his eyes, but she realized she couldnât
discern the ernotions within.
âThank you for that night
It didnât matter what happened between them.
If he didnât find a way to get the money to save her, she would be doomed if she fell into the hands of
those people.
âIt was my fault for letting them get to you, Ms. Fordham.â
He seemed to have stood there for some time. There was a layer of snow on his shoulders and his
head.
Olivia slowly walked toward him.
Ethan felt a little uneasy. He wasnât sure if Olivia had figured out his true identity.
He didnât know what she would do if she knew.
It was a quiet night with no one walking around. A thick layer of snow quickly formed on the roads.
Oliviaâs steps made a crunching sound as she walked on the snow.
Ethanâs heartbeat quickened as she approached him.
Olivia walked up to him and patted the snow on his shoulders.
What was she-
âIâve already made an appointment. Iâll be going to the bank tomorrow.â
âWhat are you planning to do there, Ms. Fordham?â
âGive me your account number. Iâll pay you for your services in this period of time.â
Ethan lowered his head. âSo you no longer need me, Ms. Fordham?â
âHeâll find me when I use the money. I wonât be able to escape then. He wonât let you off, Logan. Run,
run as far away as you can.â
Ethan finally realized how much he had traumatized Olivia. He was like the devil to her, always lurking.
âHeâs still in Vuckburg now. Besides, youâve pretended to be dead for so long. He wouldnât find you so
easily.
âYouâre not safe now, Ms. Fordham. You need my protection.
âDonât worry, Iâll hide in the shadows. I wonât appear in your life and cause you trouble.â
Olivia sighed when she saw his meek expression.
âIâve made up my mind.â
She didnât want to drag Logan into her mess.
âMs. Fordham.â
âFind someplace safe and live your life to the fullest. Find a good woman and marry her. If I still have a
future, Iâll look forward to meeting you again.â
Olivia smiled at him gently. âLogan, youâre a good man. Our relationship ends here. Iâll take care of
myself from now on.â
Olivia walked away without looking back after she said that.
âMs. Fordham, have you ever fallen for me? Even a little?â He called out from behind.
Olivia stopped and looked at the footprints she left on the ground.
âNo. Never. Iâm sorry. I will never fall in love again.â
Ethan watched as she walked away in the snow. He felt a pang in his heart.
She had turned him away again. There was no way they could be together.
Olivia walked away resolutely. She hoped that Logan could forget about her and start his own life.
As for herself, she could only press on even if her path was strewn with thorns.
