Chapter 679
That voice sounded somewhat familiar...
Olivia lifted her head and was startled to see that face. "Sam ...?”
"Yes, it's me, lady!"
Sam grinned, revealing the gap between his front teeth. It made his voice sound weird whenever he spoke.
"Why are you in Ocean City?"
"Oh, my aunt thought I was the reason my uncle died. So, she gave me to my businessman uncle. He was back here to get treatment, and I followed along."
"Where are your parents?"
"My parents..."
Sam said with a bitter smile, ‘They must be dead, I guess."
The boy was certainly not telling the truth. However, looking at him, Olivia knew that he was not living a good life.
She reached out and touched Sam's head. “Look at you.
You're thin again. Your shoes are torn, and you..."
Olivia felt sorry for him and said, "Why don't you tell me your parents' names? I can probably help you look for them."
Sam shook his head. "Lady, my aunt is my father's sister. If she says they are dead, they probably are. Anyway, they abandoned me. Finding them would be pointless either way, right?"
Olivia wanted to say something, but she noticed Sam’s face turning pale. He pushed her aside and said, "Lady, leave quickly. My uncle is coming."
"Sam. You have my number. Call me if you need my help."
"Okay."
With that, Sam pushed her aside again and ran forward. " Uncle, the thing you wanted."
"What took you so long? Are you trying to make me die of thirst?"
"I'm sorry. I'll be quicker next time.”
Looking back, Olivia saw a well-built man slapping Sam across the face. "Useless! Remember this! Your aunt sold you to me. So, you'd better listen to me. If you can't even do something so simple, I won't feed you anymore."
Sam's cheek was swollen, but he did not cry. ‘Yes, uncle."
"Damn it. If you can't help me make money, I'll make sure you regret it!"
