Chapter 47
She failed to save Uncle Wallace, and she could not abandon Uncle Wallace’s body.
He was the person who watched her grow up and her last elder and family….
Olivia’s tears started to flow when she thought about it.
She used to think of herself as a princess living in the castle. She lived in luxury and was doted on and spoiled. She never thought she would lose everything one day.
“Olivia?”
Zac nudged her arm.
Olivia instantly came to herself and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. With a wry smile, she said, “I’m fine. I’m just sad because Uncle Wallace is dead… I’m really fine.”
Zac frowned, feeling a little heartbroken for some reason.
‘Why is she always so stubborn? Why won’t she ask me for help?’
However, come to think of it, what was their relationship?
“Rest well. Don’t overthink it. I will help you find Uncle Wallace…”
“No thanks. You won’t find him.”
Olivia pressed her lips together and looked up, trying to control her tears. “Dorothy won’t let me find him.”
With that said, she snatched the apple from Zac’s hand and bit it repeatedly. She stuffed her mouth full of apples. and could not help but cry again.
She chewed furiously. Then she wiped away her tears with her other hand and turned to look at Zac. “I’m sorry I’m crying again. I’m terrible.”
In the end, she cried so much that she could not help herself. She did not know what she was crying about either.
Was she crying about Uncle Wallace’s death, her parent’s death, or her life and love?
She had no idea, but the tears would not stop.
Olivia could not help coughing a few times when her lungs twitched. She finished the apple in two bites and swallowed it with the pain.
The sweetness of the apple juice mixed with the rustiness of the blood. It was an indescribable taste.
However, the discomfort made her feel better.
Maybe she was a bit of a masochist.
