Keith agreed to her request and promised to sort everything out. Olivia was genuinely grateful for
everything he had done for her.
On that day, Olivia asked Tasha to make a whole spread of food. She even invited Logan to eat with her.
Logan stood at the side anxiously, clearly realizing something was about to happen.
âSit down and eat with me.â
âBut your rulesâ¦â
âSit.â
Logan didnât argue. He sat at the table with his back straightened. He didnât eat.
Instead, he asked, âMs. Fordham, do you not need me anymore?â
In the past week, Olivia no longer needed a wheelchair. Other than tailing her from a distance, his only
function was to help carry stuff.
Olivia had noticed long ago. Logan might seem a little slow, but he actually paid attention to detail.
âI can already take care of myself on a daily basis. Itâs a waste of your talents to keep working for me.
âDonât worry, Iâve asked Mr. Rogers to find you a good job.â
Olivia set those rules initially because she didnât want to get close to anyone.
But after several months of companionship, she couldnât just drive Logan away like a stranger. She did
notice all his effort.
âYouâre ot that young anymore. Stop working dangerous and illegal jobs. There are plenty of ways to
make money.
âYouâre a good person. Find a good job and settle down. Getting married and having offspring will do you
a lot of good.â
Logan sat in silence as he listened to Olivia. Then he said, âAlright. Understood.â
Olivia didnât know if she had struck a chord with him. The atmosphere became tense, so she didnât say
anything else and finished the meal in silence.
As he got up, Logan suddenly asked, âWhen are you planning to travel?â
âIn a week, Olivia said, then she quickly froze.
She never told Logan that she was going away. But he had guessed what she was going to do.
He even used such a method to get information from her and made her tell him the truth when she was
not on guard.
Logan met with her surprised gaze and explained, âI have known for some time that your heart doesnât
belong here, Ms. Fordham.
âYou would always gaze at the sky like a bird in a cage. You wanted to escape the cage, but your sickness
was like the chain that was holding you down.
âNow that youâre feeling better, you canât wait to leave.â
Olivia smiled in resignation. âI couldnât have said it better myself.â
âNo matter which path lies ahead of you, I hope you can be safe.â
Logan bowed and left. Olivia felt complicated emotions as she watched him leave. She couldnât really describe how she was feeling.
Just like how he came, Logan left without dragging things out.
Snowball didnât know that he was not coming back and tried to follow him. But Logan closed the door on
it
Snowball was much bigger now. It sat beside the door and tilted its head in confusion, wondering why Logan didnât bring it along on the errand. Its bright eyes were filled with confusion.
Olivia looked on as Logan walked away.
All things come to an end eventually, and as long as you care about them, whether a person or an animal, you will feel sad when it is time to say goodbye.
She walked over to Snowball and lifted it into her arms. She rubbed its head lovingly with her fingers.
âSnowball, heâs gone. He wonât be coming back.â
When Snowball heard that, it actually broke free of Oliviaâs grasp and jumped out.
It disappeared from her sight.
