Chapter 229
When Zac and Zyla arrived, Olivia limped out of the dark from the funeral parlor.
“Sis Liv!”
Zyla quickly got out of the car and hugged Olivia. When she saw Olivia’s disheveled hair and the blood at the corner of her lips, she looked worried. “Sis Liv, what’s wrong? Is it that homewrecker Dorothy?”
After being hugged by Zyla, Olivia could bear it no longer. She buried her face into Zyla’s shoulder and cried.
“Zy, Uncle Wallace’s body has turned into ash. I’m so useless…”
Zyla was startled and patted her back gently as she comforted. “Sis Liv, please don’t be sad. Uncle Wallace would have forgiven you.”
Olivia cried for a long time. Finally, she lifted her head, looked at Zyla with teary eyes, and said, “Zy, I’m so afraid that I’ll lose you.”
“Sis Liv, Zy will always be here with you. Don’t be afraid.”
Olivia shook her head and cried. “No! I want you to go away. Leave Ocean City and never come back!”
“You want to drive me away again?”
“Zy, I want you to stay alive. You know that, right?”
Zyla was startled. She stared at Olivia with her bright eyes and pouted her lips.
“Sis Liv, don’t drive me away, okay? Let me stay with you and take care of you.”
Olivia did not answer and looked at Zac, who stood not far away from them.
“Zac, please help me again, will you?”
He agreed as he looked at Olivia strangely without asking for the details. “Sure.”
She could not understand Zac’s gaze, but she still smiled. “Thank you.”
Olivia was not in a state suitable to drive, so Zac left Olivia to Zyla and waited for Wilbur to arrive.
Zyla nodded and helped Olivia get into the car.
After watching them leave, Zac’s gaze became gloomy.
‘This Dorothy woman has a death wish!’
Even if John wanted to protect Dorothy, Zac decided he would not let her get away with all of this.
