Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1442

Lisa charged at Alban, and a fight broke out. She called for her brother, Angus Walker.

Angus, who was in the next room, wanted to go out.

His wife, who was doing her nails, pulled him back. "What are you going out for? Alban's venting the emotions he's been bottling up. You might be beaten up as well if you go out there."

"She's my sister. We're able to come this far thanks to her. You couldn't have worn expensive clothes if not her."

"What a joke. As you said, we were able to come this far thanks to her. Yes, life was good the past few years, but what about now? We have houses in the city and money, but we can't use them at all.

"How long do we have to hide here? Lisa has offended someone we shouldn't mess with. If it wasn't for her, although we might not be that well-off, we wouldn't need to live this kind of life."

Standing by the door, Lisa overheard everything Terra said.

Who would've guessed that this was the very same person who always welcomed Lisa with a bright smile when she came home?

Lisa booted the door open. "So, this is how you think of me."

Before this, it would take a single frown on Lisa's face to make Terra nervous. But now, Terra appeared indifferent while painting her nails. "Alban should've gone all out."

Hiram shot her a glare. "Cut it out!"

"Did I say something wrong? We were doing so fine in Aldenvine. But we had to come all the way here because of her. You're willing to tolerate it, but not me."

"If you can't take it, you might as well leave. No one's stopping you," barked Lisa with a swollen and bleeding face.

"Leave? You've offended the Heaths. Where else can we go?" Terra kicked the stool next to her foot, giving Lisa a cold look. "How frustrating."

Hiram sighed. "Don't take it to heart, Lisa. You're not to be blamed. If it wasn't for you, we would've been fishermen in that village."

Instead of responding, Lisa muttered, "Is it really my fault?"

Lisa's sole wish was to pave a bright future for her daughter so that she wouldn't be looked down on like Lisa was during her younger days.

How did things turn out this way?

Sitting by the door, Lisa stared blankly at the setting sunlight by the horizon.

It had only been a month and they had had enough of the solitude. How could they embrace it for an eternity?

An idea flashed across her mind. Since she was the cause of it, how about going to the Heaths to beg for mercy for her family?
