Chapter 1586
Leia smiled softly.
"Yeah.
I'm fine as long as I know that you love me." The two of them finally reconciled at that moment.
Leia pushed Janice away to get a good look at her.
It was probably because Janice was back at her home.
She looked way better than when she was living in the Miller residence.
"Mom, you have along road ahead of you.
You should find a man who loves you and live out the rest of your life in happiness.
Don't waste anymore of your time on people who don't matter." "Silly girl, why are you suddenly talking about that? My biggest
joy is that you're back by my side.
My biggest wish will be to see you and Ethan living happy lives." Leia's resolve was starting to crumble.
She was afraid that she wouldn't have it in herself to leave if they kept talking.
"Mr.
Fordham Senior's death just made me a little emotional.
Mom, you're probably tired after the trip.
You should get some rest.
I'll just be taking a stroll nearby." "Alright.
Don't stay out too late." Janice patted Leia on the shoulder before letting go with a gentle expression on her face.
After Leia left in a hurry, Janice started to feel like Leia was acting very weirdly before.
Although the two of them had not spent a lot of time together, Leia had mostly been silent in the past few years.
Why would she suddenly say all those things? It also sounded like she was saying her final farewell.
Janice wasn't a naive woman.
So, she called Ethan as a precautionary measure.
Ethan turned a blind eye when Janice decided to bring Leia along.
He knew she was here, but he didn't talk about it.
"Ethan, I know you hate Leia, but she's your sister, after all.
She endured a lot of suffering in the past.
I'm really afraid that she might do something rash." "Understood.
I'll keep an eye out." Ethan hung up soon after.
Thinking about what had been happening to the Fordham family, he could guess what was going through Leia's mind.
Leia was definitely trying to help Avery.
But that would put her in danger.
"What's wrong? Who was the call from?" Olivia asked as she came up behind him.
Ethan looked at her fatigued expression.
Even her eyes were slightly bloodshot.
He knew very well how hard it had been for Olivia.
But he was once again stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Why are you making that face? Is something wrong?" Olivia grabbed his wrist and asked.
She was very tightly strung at that point in time.
Ethan knew she already had her plate full with the Fordhams' problems.
If he acted immediately, he could definitely recapture Leia.
But that would leave Avery helpless.
If he had any other way, he would not allow Leia to go.
Unfortunately, that was the only option.
Olivia had just learned about her background.
She hadn't even had the chance to meet her father yet.
If he stopped Leia from going, David could end up dead.
He had already hurt Olivia too many times.
He didn't want to do it again.
But if he allowed things to play out, Leia might be the one to lose her life.
Leia had endured a lot of hardships in the past.
She was finally home.
Ethan was very conflicted.
He lowered his gaze to look at Olivia's wrist.
There used to be a scar left by a bullet he shot, but it was gone.
Even so, the scar would always remain in his heart.
After a while, he pulled Olivia into his embrace.
"It's nothing.
Mom just called to talk to me fora bit." 17
