Surprised, Everly held Olivia’s hand. “Farewell? Where are you going?”
“Don’t worry. I simply wanna go somewhere to get srest.”
Everly couldn’t feel a sense of energy from Olivia’s all-black outfit. Olivia was giving off an aloof demeanor.
Everly figured that Olivia might want to get sfresh air.
“Are you going to be gone for a long time?”
“Yeah, probably.”
“Well, it’s not bad to leave this saddening place.” The positive Everly didn’t even know how to comfort Olivia.
What Olivia experienced wasn’t something that could be placated with mere words.

“Eat. Have this caviar to your heart’s content. You don’t have to hold yourself back. I’m loaded with cash.”
Olivia smiled. “Speak softer. People might think that you’re a rich lady who lacks foresight.”
“So what? I becrich with my capabilities. Liv, honestly speaking, I’ve always wanted to be successful and becsomeone you can rely on. You helpedout many times during high school.”
“You’re successful enough now.” Olivia witnessed how much Everly grew.
Unlike Olivia, Everly was a career-oriented woman. Men had held Everly back in the past. Now that she was single, she was on
a roll.
Everly finally found her desired path, and Olivia was genuinely happy for her.
Like what they did during their schooling days, they had a meal, went shopping, and watched a movie.
There was always a faint smile on Olivia’s face. When the night dawned, snowflakes fluttered along the wind.
They were going to go their separate ways when Everly suddenly said, “Wait.”
She entered a store. Soon, she cout of the store with a scarf and wrapped it around Olivia’s neck.
“No matter what path you choose to take, I’ll always be supporting you. If you’re tired, just look back because I’ll be right behind you.
“Take care of yourself. Keep in touch when you’re available. I’ll be at ease if I know that you’re doing fine.”
It took Olivia a while before saying, “Okay.”
“Your body is weak, so don’t push yourself too hard. You should give in when the situation calls for it. Leave it to the men.”
Olivia went silent for a moment again before responding, “Sure.”
“Be happy.”
“Yeah, you too.” Olivia wiped Everly’s tears away. “Bye, Eve.”
Olivia hopped into the car before it drove off. She glanced behind only to see Everly standing at the sspot, watching her leave. Everly didn’t leave.

She decided to bid farewell to her past during this snowy winter.
By the tOlivia returned home, Penny and Madam Burgess were discussing tomorrow’s meal.

Olivia headed back to her room to wash up. Looking at the snow outside, she exclaimed in her head, “Tdoes fly. It’s been a year.”
Ethan entered the room to see her back. She was quiet, like a porcelain doll.
“Have you really made up your mind?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, there’s no need to rush. You can wait until it gets warmer in spring next year.”
She turned around. “There’s no spring. Everywhere is hell to me. Ethan, if you truly love me, just let me go.”
He gulped his saliva. “You should know that Volt Peak Mountain is not an ordinary place. If you go there-”
“I know. It’s a dangerous place.” She smiled. “But there’s still a chance of surviving there. I will come back alive like you did that year.”
He stared at her for a long tbefore sighing helplessly. “I just don’t know what to do with you.”
“Ethan, could you doone last favor?”
