Chapter 875
Upon meeting again, Olivia seemed more cheerful than before. She would even crack a joke or two.
Everly patted her on the head. “You’ve finally put that relationship behind you I’m so happy for you.”
“That’s right. I used to feel like my life was a living hell. Every day was torture for me.
“Ever since I was reunited with my child, it was like a fog had lifted. Life was worth living again.”
Everly stared at Olivia with envy in her eyes. “That’s nice.”
“You’re not getting any younger. Have you not met anyone you wanted to date?”
Olivia asked that question because she noticed that Everly seemed like she loved children.
She seemed to sense that Everly felt uneasy when she brought that up.
Everly would try to change the subject quickly every time.
“Although I’m as beautiful as ever, and countless people want to be with me. But I’m too busy. I have no
time for relationships.”
Olivia smiled. “So, should I be honored that a busy person like yourself took the time to meet with me?”
“We’re such good friends. I’ll make time to see you even if I’m going to kill myself.”
“Don’t say that. You’re still as unhinged as ever. Don’t you know these things might come true if you keep saying them?”
“Why have you become so superstitious after I’ve not seen you in a couple of years?
“I seem to remember you saying you never believed in things like that.”
Olivia picked up her cup of warm tea and took a couple of sips.
“That was because I was young. I thought I would be able to change the world. I’ve succumbed to reality time and again.
“I’ve come to realize my insignificance. No matter how hard I try, I won’t be able to change my fate.”
“We’re still so young. Why are we talking like old geezers?” Everly asked as she propped her face with her
hand.
“I guess this is the price of growing up.”

“Tell me the truth. What are you planning to do next?”
Olivia said in a resigned tone, “I want to pay Keith back.”
“But Ethan would know you’re alive if you do that.”
Everly’s expression turned serious when the topic was brought up.
No. He should have already known that Olivia was still alive.
So many people witnessed Olivia’s phone call to her.
Henry also knew she was coming to meet Olivia. If he knew, Ethan would also know.
“I don’t care if he knows. If that’s my fate, I accept it.”
Everly looked at Olivia with a pained expression. She knew how hard Olivia’s life had been.
“Let’s not dwell on these unhappy memories on the day of our reunion. Come, let’s raise a toast to our
reunion!
Everly raised her cup of tea and said, “Okay. Let’s get wasted tonight!”
They smiled as they looked at each other. It was like they were back in their university days again.
But both of them knew those days were behind them.
Olivia asked, puzzled, “I thought you loved iced beverages. When did you start drinking warm ones?”
Everly scratched her head and said, “I let myself go too much in the past. I used to drink cold beverages
in the winter.
“It would hurt very badly when my period comes
“I’m not getting any younger, so I’m trying to take care of my health now. Look, I even carry a flask of
herbal tea around.”
“You should’ve made this change long ago. I’ve been telling you not to drink so many iced beverages.
“You’ve finally learned your lesson. I guess you have to learn from experience.”
Everly put a hand on her stomach subconsciously. A complicated glint flashed in her eyes.
“I won’t make this mistake again. I’ve learned my lesson.”
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 …
