At this time, Olivia didn't want to sit down and chat. She was anxious. "Lily, did... did something happen?"
Tears began to well up in her eyes as she tried to hold them back. She looked like she could break at any second.
"No! Nothing happened!" Seeing her like this, Lily decided not to tell her about Edward yet. Instead, she reached out to grab Olivia's hand to give her some support. "I have something to tell you, but you can't get too riled up, okay? Otherwise, I won't be able to tell you."
Olivia had a bad premonition in her heart, but her trust in Lily made her nod. "Okay, I'll listen. I'll listen to whatever you say. I'll accept anything you tell me."
Although Olivia's face seemed calm, Lily could feel that she was trembling unconsciously as she held onto her hand.
Lily's grip tightened as she softly said, "They're back."
"Who?" Olvia was taken aback for a moment but quickly realized what Lily meant. Her eyes sparkled. "Really?! They're back?! Where are they? Why didn't they come home? How dare he?!"
Before Lily could speak, Olivia overpowered her again. "Oh, I know! He still needs to carry out some tasks for Mr. Russell, am I right? That's why he told you to pass me the message."
Olivia was a completely different person now. The sadness just now seemed to have been swept away, and she had stopped trembling.
Lily nodded slightly. "Yeah! There are still things that need to be settled. They can't come home for the time being, even Alex. However, since they're back, there's no need for me, let alone you, to go to Burnwken."
"That's good! It's good that they're home. Of course, we won't have to go Burnwken anymore!" Olivia was overjoyed.
"You can now rest in peace at home. If I hear any updates, I'll let you know right away. Once they've settled their affairs, they'll naturally be able to come home.” Lily's last two words were spat out with a guilty conscience.
After all, Lily still had no idea what had happened to Edward or whether he could come home or not. However, this was the only way she could comfort Olivia.
Olivia was clueless and nodded happily. She believed everything Lily said. After all, if Lily wasn't going to Burnwken, that meant everything was fine.
"All right, I will. I'm glad that he's fine. I'm not very clingy, but I…" After a pause, Olivia seemed to remember something. "Lily, did you ask Edward why his wedding ring was with someone else?"
"I…"
The piece of skin could be explained easily. After all, it was a fake imitation of human skin. However, Olivia was sure that the wedding ring was real. Lily knew she couldn't lie to her. In the end, Lily answered honestly. "I don't know either."
