Chapter 904
Sensible children always made people feel sorry for them.
Olivia's eyes reddened instantly as she hugged Lyla tightly, apologizing profusely.
"Are you still going to send me away, Mommy?"
"Not anymore.”
Olivia forced a smile and pinched Lyla's chubby face. "You'll follow me from now on. You'll be wherever I am, okay?"
Lyla's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Really? Don't lie to me, Mommy!*
With that said, she raised her little hand, put out her pinky, and said childishly yet sternly, "Mommy, let's do a pinky
swear. We can't go back on our word once we pinky swear."
"Alright, let's do a pinky swear."
Olivia wiped her tears as she did a pinky swear with Lyla.
"It's a deal."

Lyla grinned once she got an affirmative answer. Her eyes curled into little crescents.
Olivia's saddened mood brightened again when she saw her daughter's happy smile.
She sent Lyla away because of Dorothy.
However, she let Dorothy hurt Lyla after all.
She had only realized now how happy and satisfying she was to have Lyla around.
Moreover, since Dorothy already knew Lyla's existence, it would be dangerous even if she sent her away. Lyla might
as well stay with her. She could keep an eye on her all the time.
Olivia turned her head to look at Sam, who was standing silently. "Sam, come here."
Sam walked over nervously. He did not get too close but stood half a meter away from the bed.
"Godmother."
The child was sensitive. He probably felt somewhat left out when he saw her and Lyla's interaction. He was also
scared of behaving too intimately and accidentally overstepping boundaries.
He learned at an early age to observe and lived cautiously.
Even though he knew his mother was dead because of him, he was not traumatized by it.
It made Olivia's heart ache.
Therefore, she pretended to be angry: "Sam, you've been naughty. You stood so far away when you knew I hurt my
shoulder. Are you bullying me for not being able to grab you?"
Sam froze and looked at her in shock. His dry lips parted but did not utter a word after a long time.
Lyla cocked her head and held out her hand as she looked past Olivia." Sam, hurry over."
Sam moved stiffly forward when he heard Lyla's remark.
Lyla's little hand immediately held his hand and pulled him toward the bed. "Sam, why are you so shy all of a
sudden? She wont gobble you up."
Olivia smiled. "Sam, come and hug your sister and mother, okay?"
Sam looked blankly at Olivia this time.
It turned out that he had not heard wrong. She did address him and called herself his mother.

With slightly reddened eyes, Sam climbed onto the hospital bed and hugged Lyla and Olivia.
"I'm sorry."
"Silly boy, what are you sorry for? I don't want to hear that again."
After saying that, Olivia grabbed the two kids. "Lyla, Sam is your brother from now on. Listen to him and don't bully
him. Got it?"
"And you, Sam. You're not allowed to apologize so much from now on.
You're a big brother now. You gotta keep an eye on your sister when I'm occupied. You gotta be stern. Otherwise,
how can you keep your sister in check?"
The two children's reaction was different. One was excited, while the other was nervous and flustered.
"Brother. I have a brother now!"
Lyla hugged Sam. "Sam, please look after me from now on."
Olivia corrected her. "Lyla, he's your brother. Be polite. Tell people you share the same mother if someone asks, got
it?
Lyla nodded. "What about our father?"
