Chapter 425
Olivia, Zac, and Ken built a tomb for Zyla right beside Uncle Wallace’s grave
She was afraid Zyla would feel lonely, so placing her tomb in the Larson family’s burial ground would give her some company. Zyla might feel less lonely like that.
Just two restless nights had made Ken look haggard. His beard and mustache had grown, and his hair was messy He did not look like a young master of a wealthy family anymore.
“Ken.”
Olivia took some tissues from her pocket and handed it to Ken. “Zy loved you, but she felt inferior to you. She didn’t have the guts to accept you.”
Ken was shocked, and he looked at her in a daze.
“Before, Zy felt like she was nothing, but at least she had dignity. However, that night, she lost her dignity. That’s why she wanted you to stay away from her.
“Later, when she found out it was you, she was happy. However, she feared you only saw her as a one- night stand.”
Then, she sighed and touched the photo of Zyla on the tomb. “But I think Zy wants you to walk away from the sorrow of losing her and live a new life.”
With that, Olivia turned around and headed outside.
However, after she took a few steps, she heard a hoarse voice speaking.
“I was serious about my feelings for her. Five years ago, she saved me, my hand, and my life. Otherwise, I’ would have given up studying medicine.”
Olivia stopped and looked back at Ken. She felt sorry for them.
If Zyla knew the truth, things might have turned out differently.
Ken looked serious. “So, Liv… I’ll never forget Zy.”
Olivia knew it was challenging to let go, especially when they had missed out on a chance to be with each other. Fate had parted them with life and death.
She said nothing and turned around to leave the cemetery quickly.
She was afraid that if she stayed there, she might cry again.
After getting into the car, Zac said, “Liv, why don’t you come and stay with me tonight?”
He knew that she cried in Zyla’s bed last night.
He was afraid that she was feeling bad.
Olivia hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Okay.”
