Even After Death

Olivia didn't see what she was getting herself into when she came to treat Sean's legs at first.

The Fordham family was in turmoil for real this time.

Someone pinched her fingertips.

She looked down to see Willow squeezing her fingertips to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine.” David was an influential figure in Zelotria, so his funeral was packed with people.

It had been almost a day and the visitors coming to offer their condolences hadn't stopped.

Olivia followed by Sean's side.

Due to her average looks, people simply thought that she was his maid.

Many big shots attended the funeral too, but she didn't expect to see Ethan and Janice here.

He was dressed in a black suit, and his tie was black too.

Standing next to him was Janice, who wore a cocktail hat with beads.

Their appearance drew all attention.

"Isn't that the incompetent daughter of the Procter family? I heard that she insisted on marrying Mr. Miller instead of her childhood friend.

In the end, her husband didn't love her at all.

She loved him to death but failed to win his heart back." "That man is a bastard.

He loved his mistress more than his wife.

Ms.

Procter is a fool as well. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Men were lining up for her, but she devoted her whole life to that one man." "I heard that the Procter family went to her when she attempted suicide.

They wanted her to divorce Kenneth, but she wouldn't leave the Miller family no matter what.

In the end, her family cut ties with her." "How miserable.

She didn't manage to secure a footing in her in- laws' place and cut ties with her family.

This is mere foolishness.

Well, she might've come back to her senses as she wised up with age." People began lamenting about Janice's past, which was a piece of big news back then.

The malicious words didn't bother her.

The veil covered her eyes, and no one could read her emotions.

Ethan's eyes swept across the crowd before he spotted Olivia next to Sean.

Janice patted his hand.

"What are you looking at? Come with me." Only then did he withdraw his gaze.

They offered their prayers to David first.

"Both our families are friends.

Uncle David treated me well when I was young." Her eyes were teary.

Her childhood was a happy one.

Her family loved her and pampered her to no end.

The person in the huge portrait in the middle of the room had lost his solemnity.

His eyes were gentler than those of his younger days.

She stood before the picture, murmuring softly, "I'm sorry for coming so late, Uncle David." She was childhood friends with the second son of the Fordham family, so she often spent her time at their place.

David was close with her too.

He liked her character, which he always compared with that of wild monkeys.

He kept teasing her for how unladylike she was, claiming that she would stay single forever.

Still, he would always call her over when he bought new dresses, accessories, and food.

He watched her grow up and saw her as his future daughter-in-law since a long time ago.

However, fate didn't go according to his wish.

She ended up falling in love with Kenneth and broke off her engagement with Sawyer Fordham.

Before she left Zelothria, she paid David a visit to ask for forgiveness.

It was pouring heavily that night.

He didn't want to see her, so she knelt in the rain.

In the end, he softened up and asked Terry to give her an umbrella.

She was also told that she could return at any time if the Millers didn't treat her right.

Before she left with the umbrella, she saw David in the yard.

Back then, she didn't know that that would be the last time she saw him.
