Even After Death

Olivia spaced out as she sat in the corridor.

Why did this gathering have to happen at this very point in time? The ringing of bells sounded next to her.

Willow had come to check on her.

The child noticed that Olivia had a heavy expression on her face, so she rubbed her face against Olivia's hands.

Willow lived in the village for a long time, and she was very close with all sorts of animals.

She would sometimes act like one.

Olivia ruffled her hair with a tender expression.

"Why aren't you playing with your brothers and sister?" Willow shook her head and made a hand sign.

She was worried about Olivia.

It was probably because she had heard a little of what the adults were talking about and thought Olivia was feeling sad for someone else.

Willow was a very considerate child.

She might not be able to speak, but she had a big heart.

Olivia lifted her into her arms.

"I'm fine.

It's just that the fates of others are already determined.

I can't save everyone.

So, I'm trying my best to protect the people around me." Then, she changed the subject.

She said hesitantly, "I might have to go somewhere for a few days.

Is it okay if Dad takes care of you? I'll be back very soon." Honestly, Willow didn't want Olivia to leave.

But she understood that Olivia had things she had to do.

She made another series of hand signs, indicating that she would support Olivia no matter what.

Olivia kissed her on the cheek.

"Good girl." Willow was a child she went through a lot to give birth to, and the child was growing up well.

Olivia smiled faintly.

That night, Olivia told the three younger kids bedtime stories and lulled them to sleep.

Then, she went to Connor's room.

He was reading.

Olivia talked to him for some time and told him about her upcoming trip.

Connor promised to take care of his siblings while she was away.

Finally, she went back to her room.

Ethan had been waiting for her for some time.

He wore a white bathrobe and was talking on his phone by the window.

He hung up after some time.

Olivia hugged him from behind.

"Tyrell will probably receive a 15- year sentence for his crimes.

The best-case scenario is he'll be almost 80 years old when he gets released.

"As for Neal, he'll definitely be spending his life in prison.

I'll have some people take real good care of him in prison.

Liv, I'm sorry for what I did back then..." 1 He had already apologized so many times, but he didn't know what else he could say.

"It's all in the past now.

Ethan, I'll be leaving for a few days." “Where are you going?" Olivia told him about the Black Ravens gathering.

Although they weren't married, they were still partners.

She wanted to inform him so that he wouldn't worry.

Ethan frowned slightly when he heard that.

"Liv, I don't think it's the best time for you to leave." "I joined the Black Ravens to uncover the truth. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Also, a big move by them will still shake the world no matter who their target is.

"If I can find out more about the mission in advance, we'll be able to make preparations.

Besides, it's only three days.

I'll still make it back in time for New Year's.

There's still two weeks left." 1 Ethan sighed.

"I can't really say anything else since you've already made up your mind.

But you have to keep communications open so that I can rescue you at the first sign of danger.” "Okay." Olivia didn't turn him down.

It was better for her to err on the side of caution.

Since she was going to leave the next morning, Ethan did it with her until very late at night.

He left his mark on every inch of her body.

Olivia woke up at the break of dawn.

She noticed a necklace around her neck.

Ethan looked at her.

"Even if you're unwilling to accept a ring, a necklace should be fine, right?"
