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 âZyâ
Olivia walked to Zylaâs 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 Oliviaâs forehead. âItâs late at night, and itâs tough for you to walk. What are you doing here?
âWhat can I do if you fall or have a fever?â
Olivia smiled and held her hand. âZy, help me to the swing, okay?â
Zyla had no choice but to help her over.
âSis Liv, are you trying to persuade me to keep this child?â
Olivia shook her head. âNo, itâs your right to decide whether to have the child or not. I just hope you wonât be impulsive.â
Upon hearing this, Zyla laughed miserably, âSis Liv, Iâm actually very conflicted.
âIf this child is a product of evil, then I would not hesitate at all because I donât want it to be hated by its mother for the rest of its life like I was.â
As she said that, she looked at Olivia with a complicated look in her eyes. âBut now, Ken says itâs his â child. I suddenly donât know what to do.â
âDonât you like him?â
Zyla shook her head. âNo, I like him, but... I donât love him enough to be irrational. Really, I am just fond of him. Very faintly fond.â
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.
âZy, you donât have to make a decision right away. Give yourself a deadline, and give Ken a deadline. How about that?â
âA deadline?â
âWell, letâs say, one month.â Olivia paused. âYou 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.â
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. âI really want to get drunk and let myself forget about everything.â
âZy, letâs go to Dream.â
Dream was a famous bar in Ocean City. Many men and women from the upper classes went there, and the atmosphere was not bad.
âBut...â Zylaâs eyes fell on Oliviaâs leg.
âItâs okay. You donât have to stand up to drink, and...â Olivia stood up. She leaned into Zylaâs ear and chuckled. âI havenât had a drink in a long time.â
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 Oliviaâs leg.
The two found a table in a corner. Olivia ordered a Brandy Alexander, and Zyla ordered a whiskey.
âZy, youâre pregnant and youâre still drinking hard liquor?â
âItâs okay, Sis Liv. My tolerance is high.â
Olivia wanted to persuade her again, but as she recalled Zylaâs 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.
