Even After Death

Jade was quite straightforward in her speech as well.

"I’m talking about those doctors he called over in the past.

They think they're mothers or something; they nag so much.

"It was so annoying! They kept telling me to quit smoking and drinking.

novelbin Ugh, those annoying flies!" Olivia knew that.

Even though Jade was quite old, other than her liver and lungs, her health was completely fine.

Olivia could tell that she took great care of her body.

Even though Jade was living in a place like this, it was quite peaceful in the area.

There weren't any thieves or robberies that happened as soon as she stepped into this place.

This meant that an even more powerful person was protecting this area.

That was how Jade managed to live in safety.

"Mr. Maxwell cares about you, so he's worried about you.

I won't tell you to change your lifestyle.

"But if you trust me, I'll prescribe something for you to maintain your health. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Jade nodded enthusiastically.

"Good girl.

I can see that you came from a good family.

"What's your name? You look familiar to me for some reason.

I feel like I've met you before." Olivia said, "Madam Delaney, my name is Olivia Fordham.

I wonder if you know my grandpa.

His name is Mason Heath." If anyone from that generation felt that she looked familiar, Olivia didn't want to waste any chances.

What if the person they knew turned out to be her grandmother? "Mason Heath? I feel like I've heard his name before.

Oh, yes, he's someone important from Arlandia, isn't he? "Child, I can see that you have quite an extraordinary background." Olivia was a little disappointed.

"I thought you were my grandpa's old friend, Madam Delaney, and that's why you felt that I looked familiar." "I don't know your grandpa.

I just..." "Just what?" Olivia prodded.

Jade put a hand to her head.

"It's probably because of my age, but I can't quite remember what happened so long ago.

"I just feel something familiar about you." Wayne had just washed the fruits.

When he emerged from the kitchen, he overheard the conversation between the two.

"Mom took a serious injury to the head when she was young.

She was sold off, and she ended up here.

So, she's not from this place.

"You probably looked like someone she knew in the past." Olivia was sure that the person Jade knew might very well be Natalie.

After all, Natalie would be in her 80s, so she would be quite similar to Jade in terms of age.

Sadly, the people who knew Natalie were all quite old.

At their age, they could easily get cerebral hemorrhage if they tripped and fell.

If their minds get confused, they would forget even themselves, let alone others.

Olivia sighed.

That was one more clue that ended up in a dead end.

"It's okay, Madam Delaney.

Take your time to think about it.

If you remember anything, you can tell me anytime.

"Have some fruits for now." "Alright." "I'll help Mr. Maxwell with the cooking." Olivia followed Wayne into the kitchen.

"What's the story behind this godmother of yours?" "To be honest, I don't know.

She was brought here in her teens.

"It was a chaotic time, and women lived pitiful lives, especially those who had good looks.

"She forgot everything that happened when she was young.

And then..." "She was a pampered girl who had escaped the big city and ended up in the slums here.

"She had helped me a lot back then, so I acknowledged her as my godmother.

She lived a life full of suffering.
