Chapter 805
Sam seemed to want to determine if Olivia was lying. He stared at her for as long as a minute.
'Yeah, he said you killed my mother on purpose to escape prison, making her die for you. That way, you get a crafty escape plan and get to turn over a new leaf."
Sam bit her lip. "Godmother, I trust you, but... You faked your death on the day my mother died, right?”
Olivia nodded. "That's right. It’s the same day, but I didn't set this up."
She pressed her lips together. "Your mother was a good friend of mine. When I was being bullied in prison, she would always protect me and take care of me. So why would I bite the hand that feeds me?"
After she said that, she frowned. "But I will look into what you said and then give you an explanation, okay?"
"Godmother, do you also have doubts?"
Olivia shook her head. "No, but that night, I was trapped in the fire with your mother. When I woke up, it was a few days later, and I had no idea how I got out."
Sam was taken aback. Then, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Godmother. I shouldn't have questioned you like that."
'You're not at fault. You just want to know the truth."
Sam looked at his hand and cleared his throat. He asked, "Godmother, will I also be locked up?"
Olivia held his hands and washed them again and again with soap. Then, when his hands were smelling great, she put them in front of his face.
"Smell.”
Sam hesitated and smelled them. 'They smell of soap."
'They don’t smell like blood, right?”
Sam nodded.
Olivia patted his hands softly. "Sam, I killed him, so if this comes to light one day, I will surrender, and you... If you want to avenge your father, you can even beat me while I’m down..."
"No..." Sam quickly rejected the idea. "Godmother, I won't avenge him. I don't even want him as my father. If it were not for him, my mom wouldn't have been thrown behind bars and she wouldn't have died. My mom was good to me, and she was as kind to me as you are now."
