Olivia rubbed against Ethan's collar like a cat.
"I don't have anything to do with Avery's family. There are no grudges between us.
"Moreover, Avery had helped me out before, so the Fordham family is the safest place there. Also, I won't be going there with my original identity.
"No one will know that it's me."
"You always have your reasons."
Ethan was helpless against her.
"But this time, promise me that you'll take Willow with you. Willow has an intuition with medicine, and she can tell the animals to protect you."
"Sure."
Even though Olivia didn't sense anything dangerous about Avery's family, it wasn't a bad idea for Willow to go with her.
Of all the children, Willow was the one who had the most interest in medicine.
If Willow learned more from Olivia, she would become a wonderful doctor in the future.
When the other children heard that Olivia would be leaving with Willow this time, they were both envious and sad.
The twins held each of Olivia's hands, saying, "Mom, can we go with you too? We won't give you trouble."
Olivia touched their small faces. She didn't want to leave them, either.
"I'm going there to treat someone, and I'll be back very soon. Be good, alright?"
"But school is starting soon. We rarely get a chance to be with you, Mom. You were just kidnapped by someone, too. We're worried that…"
If it were possible, Olivia didn't want to leave so soon, either. But a person's life was at stake here.
Depression was quite serious if it had been going on for years. The patient would keep thinking of ending their life.
If Olivia had come even a day later, Sean would have been in mortal danger. She had no choice.
She tried her best to comfort the children. "I'll be fine. Be good, alright? After I've treated that person, I'll come back and spend some quality time with you."
Even though the twins were reluctant, they obeyed in the end. "Take care, Mom."
"But you're still blaming Dad. Even now, you refuse to get married to Dad again. That's why you're getting targeted."
Connor swayed her hand lightly.
"Mom, Dad really loves you. I know that he did lots of bad things in the past, but what's important is that he changed his ways.
"Mom, can you give Dad another chance?"
Olivia caressed Connor's face gently. "Oh, you. Are you advocating for your dad?"
"I just don't want you to fall for someone else. I don't want to get married to someone else and have someone else's children.
"If that happens, then… I won't have a mother anymore."
Olivia didn't expect Connor to think like that. He was the oldest, and he also had the most thoughts. In all the days she hadn't seen him, was he constantly in fear of losing her?
"Silly child. I'll never leave you."
Olivia said softly, "I'll consider getting married to your dad again."
