Chapter 906
"Mommy, can I stay with you?"
Lyla wiped her tears dry and leaned softly against Olivia's arms.
Seeing that she stopped making a fuss, Olivia was about to say yes when she heard Sam say, "Lyla, be good. Mommy's hurt and needs to rest well. Why don't we go back next door to sleep?”
Lyla looked at the bandage on Olivia’s arm and nodded, "Yeah, okay."
With that said, she took Olivia’s hand as if afraid that she would fall asleep and wake up never seeing her mother again. "Mommy, you promised you wouldn't send me away. Don't lie to me."
"You'll wake up and see me tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Lyla was reluctant to leave, but Sam brought her out.
Ken saw what was going on and also said, "I'll take the kids back."
With that said, he turned around and followed them. He also closed the door thoughtfully.
Olivia wanted to ignore John, so she turned her head around to look out the window.
It was already late autumn, and the trees outside were almost bald, leaving only a few withered yellow leaves in the cold wind.
It looked a little desolate.
John slowly sat down at the end of her bed and helped her fix the quilt." Why did you save me?"
Olivia ignored him.
"Olivia, you're still..."
"No, you misunderstand."
"Then why did you save me?"
After a while, Olivia glanced back intently at him and said with a chuckle, "I probably didn't want to feel like I was indebted to you.
