Chapter 816
Olivia was fidgeting throughout the meal, thinking about what John and Mr. M had in common.
No matter how she thought about it, she was unwilling to believe that Mr. M was John himself.
This... had hit her like a truck.
After dinner, she took Sam for a walk in the yard.
"Sam." She squatted down and helped Sam tidy his shirt. "Godmother needs to apologize to you. I should've told you that I was going out last night. Sorry for making you worry."
"What’s the matter?"
"Something happened to Mr. Lucas's sister, so I was rushing to find her and send her to the hospital. That’s why it took the entire night."
"How are things now? Is Ms. Lucas alright?"
Olivia nodded. "Yeah. She's no longer in critical condition, but her health still depends on how well she can fully recover."
As she spoke, she touched Sam’s face. "Same goes for you. I hope that you can recover from your demons and not be tortured by them further."
Sam nodded. "Godmother, can you sleep with me tonight?" "Of course."
'You won’t run out secretly this time... right?"
Olivia shook her head. "I won’t. You can hold my hand to sleep, okay?"
"Deal!"
"Deal."
Suddenly, Sam reached out to touch Olivia's head. "Godmother, is there anything else that happened today? You seem to be gloomy."
Olivia shook her head in denial. "Nope. I guess I'm just exhausted. Let's go up and shower then sleep, okay?"
However, after lying in bed for two hours with Sam, who had already started snoring lightly, she was still wide awake.
'How dreadful!'
She had no choice but to sit up and break free from Sam's grip. She put on her jacket, grabbed her phone, went to the balcony, then called Fred.
Fred had not woken up from his sleep and was still in a daze when he picked up the call. "Liv? Why are you calling me at this hour? Did anything happen?"
"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I figured I would call you to talk."
"Oh." Fred sat up. "What do you want to talk about?"
Olivia pursed her lips, "Did you find out anything about what I talked about?"
"No, there's nothing about whoever is behind Dorothy. Everything that I looked into was a dead end, including the funds for the Jameson family. They were all clean.”
Fred paused for a moment. "As for Rainie, I honestly suspect that she's dead, Liv. All evidence of her existence could have been planted by someone else impersonating her. I’ve searched the entire internet, and I could only come up with one conclusion: she vanished into thin air."
