Even After Death by Lilting Champ

Olivia hugged Willow.
"Willow, I know you're doing this for me.
But I'll never put you in danger no matter what happens." Jacqueline's record was far off the scale of cruelty.
Plus, she hated Olivia the most in the world.
How could Olivia let her daughter be the hostage with peace of mind? Willow shook her head, trying her best to convince Olivia.
"I'm not afraid, Mom." Olivia tightened her arms gently around her.
"But I'm scared, Willow.
I risked my life to bring you to this world, baby.
You're my precious daughter.
Since I've brought you to this world, I should be responsible for you.
No matter what the future holds, I'l] never let you face the consequences." Ethan finally knew the reason behind his children's
bright personalities.
It was because Olivia would never give up on them.
She was determined to protect them, and they grew up loving her.
Love should never be a one-sided thing.
Olivia comforted Willow before looking at Jacqueline.
No one can be your hostage.
I can only offer you the freedom to decide the venue of the deal.
That's my limit.
Don't forget that you have a Lifebond Curse on you too." "What are you gloating about, Olivia? I'm suffering from the curse, and
so are you.

I'll make sure you feel the same pain that I do." "Do you think that scares me? I've been suffering for half of my life." Olivia
snorted coldly.
Jacqueline had never seen Olivia acting so firm before.
Olivia continued, "Get back to your senses, Jacqueline.
Look who's the one controlling the situation right now.
You can't do whatever you want.
You want to negotiate? I can offer you a chance.
If you don't want to take it, be prepared for what's coming for you." Then, Olivia left with Willow without sparing a glance at
Jacqueline.
Just because Jacqueline had the Lifebond curse, everyone was being careful around her for fear that they might indirectly hurt
Olivia.
Their blood was boiling from fury, but none of them dared to let off steam.
In the end, Olivia was the one who stepped up to teach Jacqueline a lesson.
Ethan ordered, "Give her aroom and keep an eye on her.
We'll let her out whenever she's ready to talk." "Yes, sir." It had been a long time since Olivia last visited Alora Village.
She and Willow wandered around the village, acting as if Olivia wasn't a victim of the curse.
Olivia had helped out the villagers a lot during those years, so they adored her.
For instance, the water conservancy project resolved the water shortage.
The only thing was that only a few of them knew her face.
Now that they had seen her face, they understood why Willow could be so pretty.
Olivia led Ethan back to the cave, where they first reconciled.

Exotic floras filled the cave as their scent lingered in the air.
"TI didn't know that it was so pretty." There weren't only butterflies dancing around.
A few fawns were playing by the lake too.
Olivia took her dress off to take a dip in the water.
Tranquility settled in her features.
She showed no signs of fear toward the curse.
The sun cast a sheen of light on her, and she seemed to glow.
A while later, she opened her eyes and met Ethan's.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" "You've changed, Liv." Ethan was at a loss for words to describe Olivia.
No longer the innocent woman she was, she had become mature and sophisticated.
Yet, she was so different from others.
She hooked her finger at him, and he bent over.
Pulling him by the necktie, she kissed his lips.
"Wind down when you have the time.
The small things that bring joy are the way to the truth in life.
Stop worrying about the future and enjoy the present.
Life isn't that hard, actually." 2
