Chapter 878 "Godmother! What are you doing?"

"Miss, why are you kneeling? Get up!"

Olivia bit her lip, held Sam’s hand, and cried, "Sam, I'm sorry.I’m sorry..."

Sam knelt and hugged Olivia in a panic.

"Godmother, don’t scare me.Why are you suddenly apologizing to me? Are you going to dump me? Are you going to send me away?"

The greatest fear of a homeless boy who often needed others’ kindness to have a home was to be abandoned.

Although he seemed accustomed to it, he deeply cared about it and felt lonely.

Olivia shook her head.

"Didn’t you ask me last time how your mother died four years ago? I'll tell you today, but...I know you'll probably never call me ‘Godmother’ again after I tell you."

"Why do you say that, Godmother? Wasn’t my mother’s death an accident?"

"What if it wasn’t an accident?" Sam was startled.

"Not an accident? How is that possible?"

"The truth is..."

As soon as Olivia spoke, she was pulled up from the ground.

"Come here!"

Ken yanked her out and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Telling him the truth."

She shoved off Ken’s grip and questioned, "Did he send you?"

"It’s none of your business who sent me.You can’t tell Sam the truth."

"He has the right to know the truth, and I must tell him."

"Olivia, be reasonable.You’ll feel no less guilty even if you tell him the truth."

Olivia wanted to walk back in, but Ken stopped her.

"Get out of the way!"

"I won’t let you enter."

"Ken Lucas!"

Olivia lifted her head and glared at him.

"Do you know how kind he is to me? I can’t lie to him."

"Have you thought about the consequences of telling him the truth?"

"Yes, of course.He might never take me as his godmother anymore."

Ken looked at Olivia disappointedly and said, "After Sam lost his parents, he lived under the roof of others and was bullied.He’s sensitive and careful.Have you noticed that he seems happier after meeting you?"

Stunned, Olivia asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"I want to tell you that you’re the one who warmed Sam’s heart and gave him a new family.Now you want to tell him the truth and make him feel abandoned again.You’re cruel and selfish.Do you know that?"

That was something Olivia had never thought of.Her heart skipped a beat, and she frowned without saying anything.

"Don’t destroy his happiness now, okay?"

She wanted to remain silent, but she could not.

Olivia sobbed and shook her head.

"No, I can’t."

"Olivia, why do you have to be so stubborn?"

"Yeah, I’m stubborn." Olivia licked her dry lips.

"You said telling him the truth is destroying his happiness.Have you ever considered that we won’t be able to hide the truth forever and that he'll know about it sooner or later?

"I didn’t know the truth before and could live with it.However, I know about it now, and I feel guilty.Ken, I feel guilty!"

Then, she lifted her head to hold back her tears and continued.

"Ken, I don’t want to tell him either...I don’t want to, but..."

"What if he learns the truth ten years from now? He’ll hate me even more.He’ll even think my love for him the past ten years was out of guilt.It would be pointless even if I explained myself to him."

"Ken." Olivia wiped her tears.

"I don’t want Sam to turn out like Ian."

Ken had nothing to say upon hearing that.He knew more or less about Ian.

The rebellion of kids was always turbulent and extreme.

Once they rebelled, no one could change their mind.

At that moment, he understood Olivia's difficulty.

However.., a young voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

"Godmother.,"
