Chapter 569
There was a card in the box with a few words on it.
[Agarwood. Helps you sleep well.]
‘So it’s agarwood… No wonder she managed to sleep soundly after smelling the scent previously.
She quickly replied to him: [Thank you for your gift, sir, but I feel even more guilty now. You are my customer and benefactor, but now it seems to be… the opposite?]
[Phoebe, you lit a fire in my life. This is nothing compared to what you have given to me.]
‘Fire in his life?
‘Did he want to commit suicide before?’
Olivia was a little concerned. [Sir, no matter what difficulties you’re facing, you can cry or be presumptuous, but do not give up on the will to live. There will always be hope as long as you’re alive.]
That was what Zac told her back then.
During these years, whenever she felt tired, she would think about his words and continue her journey with determination.
[Okay, I will remember that.]
On the way home, Olivia kept on thinking about who this man could be.
However, she could not get an answer to her question.
It was probably due to human nature. The more she did not know, the more curious she got.
In the end, she asked Walter, but he kept quiet for a long time and then only said, “Ms. James, I can’t answer you that, but what I can say is that he is a good man.”
“A good man?”
“Yeah, I came from a poor family and started work when I was young. However, because I was an of energetic kid, I fought a lot with outsiders and ended up pissing off a baddie. He sent a group men to beat me up. It was winter that day, and I was lying on the ground in a pool of blood. I thought I was going to die, but I met Sir, and he saved my life.”
“So, have you seen him in person before?”
Walter shook his head. “Nope. I could barely breathe at that time, and I couldn’t even see properly.
I could only sense a man looking at me and instructing a few people to carry me away.”
“And after you woke up?”
“Nope too. It’s been his assistant contacting me all along.”
