Chapter 878
"Godmother! What are you doing?" "Miss, why are you kneeling? Get up!"
Olivia bit her lip, held Sam's hand, and cried, "Sam, I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."
Sam knelt and hugged Olivia in a panic. "Godmother, don't scare me. Why are you suddenly apologizing to me? Are you going to dump me? Are you going to send me away?"
The greatest fear of a homeless boy who often needed others' kindness to have a home was to be abandoned.
Although he seemed accustomed to it, he deeply cared about it and felt lonely.
Olivia shook her head. "Didn't you ask me last time how your mother died four years ago? I'll tell you today, but... I know you'll probably never call me 'Godmother' again after I tell you."
"Why do you say that, Godmother? Wasn't my mother's death an accident?"
"What if it wasn’t an accident?"
Sam was startled. "Not an accident? How is that possible?"
"The truth is..."
As soon as Olivia spoke, she was pulled up from the ground. "Come here!"
Ken yanked her out and asked, "What are you doing?"
'Telling him the truth."
She shoved off Ken's grip and questioned, "Did he send you?"
"It's none of your business who sent me. You can't tell Sam the truth."
"He has the right to know the truth, and I must tell him."
"Olivia, be reasonable. You’ll feel no less guilty even if you tell him the truth."
Olivia wanted to walk back in, but Ken stopped her.
"Get out of the way!"
"I won't let you enter."
"Ken Lucas!"
Olivia lifted her head and glared at him. "Do you know how kind he is to me? I can't lie to him."
