Sean told the rest of the family about Olivia the following morning. He was going to bring her back to the Fordham Residence.

He called Olivia over and said, "The Fordham family is massive. We have a hand in multiple industries. The main family used to be quite lively and had been steadily growing.

"Things started to go downhill after Avery was diagnosed with kidney disease. Troy is almost never home, and Vox is even more elusive. After Quinn's death and my traffic accident, Jacqueline was the one keeping us afloat."

"What about your parents?"

"The family's business is just too massive. My father is already very busy with managing our assets in other countries.

"My mother sustained some injuries when she gave birth to Jacqueline. She's been resting and barely ever goes out these days. I didn't even tell her about my suicide attempts because I worry it might affect her health."

Sean sighed. "It's just a family gathering today. There aren't a lot of outsiders. You don't have to be nervous."

Olivia smiled. "Our goal is to draw the culprit out of hiding. I'm not actually meeting my in-laws. Of course, I won't be nervous."

"That's right. That slipped my mind. Reginald told my mother about you, and she was very happy."

Olivia could guess how sad his mother would be since she had lost a child and had to see another one getting crippled.

She was sure to be happy if her son was able to break away from the past and move on.

"Sean, other than going to the gathering to uncover the truth, I can also take a look at your mother's condition."

"That's true. How could I have forgotten that you're a great doctor? Olivia, I'll leave my mother in your hands. She'll be very happy to see you. Also, she'll be your godmother from now on. So, she's not just 'my mother'." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Olivia had already seen how exceptional the children of the Fordham family were. She figured that their mother would also be a very outstanding individual. So, Olivia had prepared gifts for her in advance. As she was getting in the car with Willow, she reminded her, "From now on, we'll be in a dangerous situation. You have to be careful, Willow."

Willow patted Olivia's hand and stared at her tenderly as if saying, "I'll protect you, Mom."

Olivia felt warm. She was the mother, and Willow was just a three-year-old child. Such a young child was telling her she would protect her.

Every time she gave birth to one of her children, her life was at risk. But she took the risk and gave birth to her babies.

She felt like that was her duty as a mother, and her efforts weren't in vain. All of her children cared deeply for her.

"Good girl," Olivia said as she held Willow tightly in her arms.

Once again, she felt great relief that she didn't give up on Willow because of her condition.

"Olivia, you're so close with your daughter," Sean said.

Then, he added emotionally, "Many years ago, my mom showered her love on me like that too. We were a big family, but my parents were very loving. All the siblings got along well.

"Those were the good times. If all of this never happened, Avery would be married, and I may even have a child or two already. Maybe even Quinn would be a mother by now. What a pity..."

As he was talking, Sean's fingers began to grab his pants tightly, so much so that his pants became wrinkled.

"If I find the person behind it all, I'll make him wish he was dead!"
