Chapter 20
Their first stop was Sevarra in Liorra.
It was a place Olivia had always dreamed of visiting ever since watching the movie Whispers of Arlen. She had originally planned to come here for her graduation trip. But that plan was interrupted by the accident and five long years of
unconsciousness.
Now, finally, she was here. It felt like she had finally made up for the regret she had back in college.
Sevarra was a stunning island town, famous for its heart–shaped coastline and breathtaking views.
The moment they arrived, the town’s vibrant charm wrapped around them.
Tourists bustled through the streets, and the scent of food lingered warmly in the air.
Hand in hand, Olivia and Ethan strolled down cobbled streets lined with medieval architecture. Every stone beneath their feet whispered stories of ancient times.
Golden cottages stood in gentle clusters along the road, glowing in the sunlight.
Olivia stopped now and then to admire the quaint local shops, each filled with delicate crafts and unique souvenirs that
she couldn’t resist touching.
Eventually, they made their way up to the highest point in town.
From there, she looked out across Sevarra and the glittering sea beyond. The view took her breath away.
In the distance, the famed Isle of Seraphine lay quietly in the bay, like a luminous pearl set on a mirror of blue.
The Sea of Liora shimmered under the sun, where sky and water met in a flawless embrace. It was so beautiful, it almost
didn’t feel real.
Olivia closed her eyes and let the salty sea breeze brush across her face. For a moment, it felt like every worry she’d ever had was being swept away by that wind.
“Ethan,” she said softly, “will you always stay by my side like this?”
He took off his jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders.
“Of course. In this life, I’ll only ever love you.”
Olivia smiled faintly at his reply.
“Did you ever… love Lillian?”
Ethan froze. It took him a while to answer.

“You heard what happened in the reception room, didn’t you?”
She nodded, eyes fixed on the ocean in the distance.
Ethan didn’t know what to say. The truth was–yes. He had once loved Lillian.
She was completely different from Olivia. She was strong–willed, stubborn, and fiercely devoted to what she believed in
She wore her heart on her sleeve, unafraid to express her feelings.
If Olivia’s love was a whisper between lovers, then Lillian’s was a firework bursting in the, sky.
He had been drawn to her. He had fallen for her. And because of that, he had hurt Olivia over and over in their past life.
From his silence, Olivia already had her answer.
After a long pause, she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper.
“It’s okay. As long as you love me now, that’s enough.”
Ethan let out a deep breath of relief and kissed her deeply, fiercely. The kiss carried his love, his guilt, and a thousand regrets from the life before.
“Olivia, I love you,” he murmured against her lips.
“I swear on my life, I’ll love you forever.”
That afternoon, they visited the ancient Elarian Theater, a 2,300–year–old amphitheater built on a cliffside, like a bird’s nest suspended between sea and sky.
They entered the theater and sat together on the weathered stone seats, listening to the wind whisper through the ruins, imagining echoes of performances from millennia ago.
From the top of the theater, the view was breathtaking: ancient columns in the foreground, a medieval village halfway up the hill, a fortress perched even higher and beyond it all, the vast ocean and a distant volcano sleeping at the edge of
the horizon.
The two of them sat in silence, immersed in the breathtaking view, imagining the grand performances that might have unfolded here a thousand years ago.
