Olivia smelled a story. "What happened back then?"
Mason shook his head. "Nothing. Let's eat."
Mason insisted that Olivia had to call him "Grandpa" at least once.
Since there wasn't anyone around, Olivia said softly, "Grandpa Heath."
"Good. Good girl." Mason patted her on the head.
No matter how you look at him at that moment, Mason looked like a kind old man. There wasn't a trace of the powerful man that he was supposed to be.
When she felt Mason's hand on her head, Olivia had a weird feeling.
It was because she hadn't been with a family member for so long. She didn't hate the feeling,
Mason was discharged after a few days. Since Olivia was his personal doctor, she followed them back to the Heath Residence.
The fleet of cars drove into a secure compound in Aldenvine. There were guards everywhere. All of them were well-built soldiers.
Olivia got out of the car and helped Mason out.
Krystal and Tatiana were in another car.
As soon as she got out, she muttered, "Why does a lowly doctor like her get to sit in the same car as Dad? What a joke."
Linus glared at her. Krystal no longer dared to be as arrogant as before, so she didn't say anything else.
Olivia didn't want to make matters worse, so she pretended not to hear Krystal as she helped Mason into the house.
As soon as she entered the yard, she noticed some cherry trees.
It was already winter, so there weren't any fruits. The branches were also covered in snow.
The snow in the yard was swept clean. There was a mild fragrance of flowers.
The Heath Residence was a traditional building.
It retained the designs of the olden days. A gust of warm air enveloped them as soon as they entered the house.
Olivia was following Edmund. He walked pretty quickly.
It was clear he was a trained martial artist. Olivia was able to keep up without much trouble.
Edmund showed her around the kitchen.
"Miss, I'll bring you to your room next."
"Thanks."
Olivia was still following him. Edmund brought her to a room; even the windows were of a traditional design.
As soon as she entered the room, she caught a whiff of a musty smell, but the room was cleaned thoroughly.
Edmund said, "Miss, we don't usually get guests. When I asked the maids to clean the room today, we noticed that the heater had broken down.
"I've already contacted someone to repair it, but you'll have to tough it out today."
The winter nights in Aldenvine were extremely cold, and he expected Olivia to tough it out without a heater.
