Even After Death

Willow signed again, telling Olivia to stay away from Jacqueline, for there was something off about her.

Olivia nodded.

"You should be careful, too." Willow shook her head, signing, "Mom, I'm not scared." She used to follow Wendy everywhere, and Wendy cared about her a lot.

Wendy had cast a protection spell on her so that curses wouldn't come near or touch her.

But Olivia was different.

Olivia was an herb-imbued person, and she was immune to many toxins.

However, she wasn't immune to curses and spells.

These things were too dangerous.

Olivia would fall victim to them if she let down her guard even a little.

"I'll be careful." Jacqueline seemed to have sensed Olivia's gaze.

She looked at Olivia and then smiled.

The smile was warm and gentle, but Olivia felt a chill running down her spine.

Jacqueline was wearing a tailored outfit, and she carried herself elegantly.

However, she was also skilled in witchcraft.

Olivia couldn't help but think of the word "femme fatale".

Jacqueline slowly approached Olivia.

Willow stood next to Olivia, unmoving.

"Dr.

Fordham, how long will it take you to cure Sean's insomnia?" Shaking off her thoughts, Olivia said calmly, "I'm not sure.

Modern medicine is all about effectiveness, whereas herbal medicine aims to strengthen the body and proceed in small steps.

"It'll take a longer time." "Thank you for your hard work, Dr.

Fordham," Jacqueline said kindly.

"Since you're going to stay here for a while, I'll get a wider room prepared for you.

You and your daughter can live more comfortably there.

"There's an empty room on the first floor, and it's quite close to Sean as well.

It'll be easier for you to take care of him if you stay there.

"By the way, Dr.

Fordham, where are you from? I can give orders so that the maids will prepare the dishes you like for every meal." "It's alright, Ms.

Jacqueline.

Willow and I aren't picky.

We'll eat anything." "By the way, Dr.

Fordham, you're such a great doctor, but why have I never heard of your name before? How did Sean find you?" Olivia smiled calmly.

"It's just a coincidence.

Compared to my teacher, I'm not that skilled in medicine at all.

"I'm here today because my teacher wanted me to expand my horizons.

I rarely go out, after all.

How could an esteemed person like you know about me?" Jacqueline seemed interested in learning about Olivia's background.

But unfortunately, Olivia was tightlipped.

Olivia misguided people into thinking that her medical skills weren't that good at all.

Avery had also called Sean and told the latter not to reveal anything and not to ask too much about Olivia's origins.

Jacqueline didn't manage to get any information.

Olivia didn't say much.

So, Jacqueline crouched down and lifted a hand, trying to touch Willow's face.

"You're so adorable, little girl.

How old are you?" Willow and Olivia were wearing masks. Willow was smart enough to hide behind Olivia, avoiding Jacqueline's hand.

Olivia explained, "Sorry, my daughter has always been quite shy." "It's okay, I just find Willow adorable. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Anyway, Dr.

Fordham, just make yourself at home.

If there's anything you need, just tell me.

"You don't have to hold back, alright? I'm also counting on you to cure Sean as soon as possible." Olivia nodded.

"I'll do my best.

Are you staying here, too, Ms.

Jacqueline?" .

Ms.

Jacqueline, I do admire how close you and Mr. Sean are.

You're such wonderful siblings." Olivia sighed lightly.

Jacqueline put on a gentle smile.

.

It must be such bliss to live in a family like that." Olivia meant what she said.

From a young age, she also hoped that she would have siblings.

After her mother left, she only had her father left.

Every time she saw other people with their siblings, her eyes would be filled with envy.
