Sean told the rest of the family about Olivia the following morning. He was going to bring her back to the Fordham Residence.
He called Olivia over and said, "The Fordham family is massive. We have a hand in multiple industries. The main family used to be quite lively and had been steadily growing.
"Things started to go downhill after Avery was diagnosed with kidney disease. Troy is almost never home, and Vox is even more elusive. After Quinn's death and my traffic accident, Jacqueline was the one keeping us afloat."
"What about your parents?"
"The family's business is just too massive. My father is already very busy with managing our assets in other countries.
"My mother sustained some injuries when she gave birth to Jacqueline. She's been resting and barely ever goes out these days. I didn't even tell her about my suicide attempts because I worry it might affect her health."
Sean sighed. "It's just a family gathering today. There aren't a lot of outsiders. You don't have to be nervous."
Olivia smiled. "Our goal is to draw the culprit out of hiding. I'm not actually meeting my in-laws. Of course, I won't be nervous."
"That's right. That slipped my mind. Reginald told my mother about you, and she was very happy."
Olivia could guess how sad his mother would be since she had lost a child and had to see another one getting crippled.
She was sure to be happy if her son was able to break away from the past and move on.
"Sean, other than going to the gathering to uncover the truth, I can also take a look at your mother's condition."
"That's true. How could I have forgotten that you're a great doctor? Olivia, I'll leave my mother in your hands. She'll be very happy to see you. Also, she'll be your godmother from now on. So, she's not just 'my mother'."
