Even After Death

Olivia's sole wish was to reunite with her real family, nothing more.

She didn't expect David to prepare such a huge gift! She had come so close to death several times in life until this day came, the day she found her real family.

Money and assets didn't appear to be that important compared to family.

Avery stroked her head.

"Don't see it as a burden.

We weren't by your side during your hardest time.

We weren't part of your life journey." Sean hugged her too.

"It won't be that way anymore.

You have us now, your family." That was the word she wanted to hear the most—family.

Olivia hugged them back and couldn't fight back her tears anymore.

She had grown stronger, but she couldn't seem to control her emotions these days.

Things were not as bad as they seemed.

Quietly, Linus watched the family reunion.

He was genuinely happy for Olivia.

Although she had reunited with the Heath family back in Aldenvine, Linus could tell that she held a regret that couldn't seem to go away.

Now, it seemed like the regret wouldn't weigh her down as much as before.

David's decision to cut ties with the Fordham family was out of everyone's expectations.

Although things, including Linus' arrival, were going according to his plan, he didn't expect his wife to be dragged into this.

David used every connection of his to look for her.

However, Brandon had been using a fake identity the entire time and had left no trace behind.

So there was no clue to lead them to him.

Their only hope was Jacqueline.

How much did she know? She was locked up in an abandoned mansion.

The Fordhams stil] had to clean up Henley's mess, so Olivia left the company first.

In the car, she was unusually quiet.

After officially reuniting with her family, her emotions returned to tranquility.

There was even a tinge of sorrow.

Someone held her hand.

"Something on your mind?" asked Ethan with Willow on his lap.

Olivia watched the fleeting scenery outside the window, muttering, "In the past, I thought that my life would be complete as long as I could survive.

When I survived and met the Heath family, I wanted more.

"I wanted to find my real family.

And I've found them.

They treat me well, but I don't feel as happy as I should be." "Are you afraid?" Ethan was the person who knew her the most. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

She nodded.

"I thought rainbows would come after the rain and I could reach the top of the mountain as long as I put in effort.

But there are higher mountains after this one.

The future is becoming unsettling to me." Ethan pulled her into his arms.

"It is scary that we don't knowa thing about the future, but that's the same reason to be hopeful.

It's those mountains that force us to move forward and become stronger.

By the time you look back at the past, you'll realize that you've surmounted them.

"Don't be afraid, Liv.

You won't be alone in the future anymore.

You have me, the kids, and your family by your side." Olivia interlaced her fingers with his and hummed in response.

Willow placed her hand on theirs.

Her determined eyes were assuring Olivia that she would be by her side too.

Olivia, who was at a loss in the face of the future, grew confident as she looked at them.

"I'll find Mom," she swore.

"Don't worry.

Brandon loves her to the bones.

She's safe for now.

We still have time," Ethan assured.

"Before this, I have to settle the score with Jacqueline."
