Chapter 408
Olivia found Zyla in a small park nearby.
In the cold wind, a thin figure sat on the swing, swinging half-heartedly
Back then, they often came here for a walk when the weather was good.
Sometimes, at night, the two would come here to watch the stars and chat. This place had become
their secret base
“Zy”
Olivia walked to Zyla’s side with her crutches. Because she was a little tired from walking, she leaned
on the railing beside her and took a few breaths.
When Zyla spotted her, she immediately stood up and wiped the sweat from Olivia’s forehead. “It’s late
at night, and it’s tough for you to walk. What are you doing here?
“What can I do if you fall or have a fever?”
Olivia smiled and held her hand. “Zy, help me to the swing, okay?”
Zyla had no choice but to help her over.

Olivia shook her head. “No, it’s your right to decide whether to have the child or not. I just hope you
won’t be impulsive.”
Upon hearing this, Zyla laughed miserably, “Sis Liv, I’m actually very conflicted.
“If this child is a product of evil, then I would not hesitate at all because I don’t want it to be hated by its
mother for the rest of its life like I was.”
As she said that, she looked at Olivia with a complicated look in her eyes. “But now, Ken says it’s his–
child. I suddenly don’t know what to do.”
“Don’t you like him?”
Zyla shook her head. “No, I like him, but… I don’t love him enough to be irrational. Really, I am just
fond of him. Very faintly fond.”
Olivia understood this feeling very well.
If she loved someone until she became irrational, she would not hesitate to do anything because she
would willingly live for him and die for him.
Just like she used to with John.
However, if she was realistic with her relationships, she would weigh the pros and cons of certain
decisions and consider many possibilities.
“Zy, you don’t have to make a decision right away. Give yourself a deadline, and give Ken a deadline.
How about that?”
“A deadline?”
“Well, let’s say, one month.” Olivia paused. “You can take your time to consider whether you will have
the baby, and you can take your time to consider whether Ken really loves you.”
Zyla might not believe those words even if they came from her own mouth.
However, no one could resist such logic.
Zyla stood up suddenly, looked at the bright white moon in the night sky, and smiled. “I really want to
get drunk and let myself forget about everything.”
“Zy, let’s go to Dream.”
Dream was a famous bar in Ocean City. Many men and women from the upper classes went there, and

“But…” Zyla’s eyes fell on Olivia’s leg.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to stand up to drink, and…” Olivia stood up. She leaned into Zyla’s ear and
chuckled. “I haven’t had a drink in a long time.”
Just like that, a pregnant woman was helping a wounded woman into Dream an hour later.
It must have looked ridiculous to outsiders.
However, both Olivia and Zyla were beautiful, and they were impeccably dressed, their graceful figures
accentuated.
It made everyone completely ignore the cast on Olivia’s leg.
The two found a table in a corner. Olivia ordered a Brandy Alexander, and Zyla ordered a whiskey.
“Zy, you’re pregnant and you’re still drinking hard liquor?”
“It’s okay, Sis Liv. My tolerance is high.”
Olivia wanted to persuade her again, but as she recalled Zyla’s difficult life, she knew that this was a
rare chance for her to indulge, so she did not try to stop her again.
The two moved to the rhythm of the music, completely unaware that in the opposite corner, two men
with dark faces were staring at them.
