Chapter 556
Olivia went out on the day of the first snow.
She initially thought that the excessive training would worsen her illness, but it seemed like her stomach hadn’t caused her trouble since before she got pregnant.
Although she didn’t know what was going on with the tumor, she was certain that her condition was stable.
It didn’t spread over her b*dy, which was the best-case scenario for her.
It had been almost a year since she last went shopping or enjoyed life.
Olivia stood before the most famous shopping center. She could see a career woman in heels from afar.
Wearing a wool coat over her, the woman strode over with hurried steps.
She stood under a large billboard and looked around until she heard a familiar voice. “Eve.”
Everly turned to look back at Olivia, who was standing nearby in a black wool coat.
The latter’s hair, which was tied up, was longer than before. A pair of simple earrings hung on her earlobes.
She still looked beautiful.
Olivia was like a sunflower in the past and then appeared like a magnolia flower; now, she was a black rose that had a cold exterior.
She could only be looked at from afar. She wasn’t someone to be messed with.
Everly knew that Olivia hid to deliver her babies, so they hadn’t kept in touch.
She was overjoyed the moment she saw Olivia. Running in her heels, she threw herself at Olivia.
“You finally contacted me! Do you know how much I missed you? I was afraid of exposing your whereabouts, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. I hadn’t seen your babies, either.”
Not knowing how Olivia had been, Everly circled Olivia.
“You seem more energetic than before. Your complexion seems better.
“Not bad, not bad. I was surprised to see you a moment ago. You look the same, but you feel like a different person to me.”
Everly was overwhelmed with excitement, guessing that Olivia didn’t bring her babies out due to their young age.
“I was over the moon when you gave me a call last night. Let’s go! It’s been a while since we last met. Let me show you how much my wealth has improved right now.”
Excited, she took Olivia to one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city.
Everly didn’t stop rambling throughout the journey, telling Olivia how she had been for the past year.
She got a promotion to a much higher position after going on business trips abroad with Henry and was no longer an insignificant saleswoman.
She spoke for more than half an hour until they arrived at the restaurant.
Only when she took a sip of lemon water did she realize that Olivia had barely spoken. Olivia would only look at her with a smiling face or give a brief response.
Everly finally stopped her stories, gazing at Olivia.
“Liv, you’re kinda weird. The mothers in my office never stop talking about their children. Why don’t you talk about yours? Oh, here are my gifts for them.”
She handed over a bag she had brought along, fishing out some golden accessories. “Look. This is an anklet, bracelet, and zodiac necklace. They’re solid.”

Olivia smiled faintly. “Did you purchase them from a jeweler?”
“Of course! These are for my godson and goddaughter. What are their names? I still don’t know that.”
Olivia raised the pretty anklet, caressing the word “peace” carved in it.
It was such a nice blessing.
“Gone.”
“What’s gone? Have you yet chosen a name for them? No rush. You can start with nicknames. That’s how you get inspiration.”
Olivia’s cold voice resounded. “I said, my children are gone.”
The smile on Everly’s face stiffened, but she was reluctant to think of the negative side. “What do you mean by ‘gone?’ Are you

“It means they’ve pa*sed away. It was a preterm delivery, and they didn’t survive.”
The bracelet fell off Everly’s hand. “H-How could this be? Your first child was gone. These babies… Why a premature delivery?
Olivia let out a bitter smile. “It’s a long story. Forget it. It’s in the past.”
“Liv.”
“It’s alright. It’s in the past. Eve, I called you out today to bid farewell.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
