Olivia sat by the window and looked downstairs. The confusion in her eyes matched the feeling in her heart. Seeing that Edward was out, she went downstairs to buy some necessities before returning to sit for a while. Otherwise, he would definitely not allow her to do so.
Edward had been accompanying her these past few days, be it to arrange her mother's funeral, grocery shopping, or even when she went out to eat. Although he would not talk much, she was getting used to him following her everywhere like a shadow.
Although Olivia knew that he was doing this out of kindness, she had no means to take her own life in the first place.
Even though she was devastated about her mother's death and her tears would flow uncontrollably at the thought of it, what could she do? Life still had to go on!
At the moment, the fire was said to be an accident. Although government pensions and subsidies were being distributed, no amount of money could buy back her mother's life.
Olivia was even starting to loathe herself a little. Would this have happened if she had chosen another location to live instead of this one?
However, there was no chance for regret in this world. Lily advised her to look toward the future instead of the past. Although Olivia tried her best, it would still take a while before she felt okay.
After a long sigh of relief, she decided it was best to cancel the break. She had been off for a long while due to her depression. She also heard from Jenny that Lily had been incredibly busy. However, Olivia had never missed a call from Lily. Lily would tell Olivia to rest more and take good care of herself.
'I should go back and help her,' she thought.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, and Olivia turned her head to the door. 'Did Edward not bring his key?'
