Chapter 678
After that day, Olivia rarely spoke of Jimmy.
She was afraid Zac would overthink and not rest well.
Thus, she tried to bring up interesting or casual topics, including what happened during those four years in Murica.
"Lyla is not a kid who liked to cry. But once, when we were out in the street, a ten-year-old boy bumped into me. The parents saw it and accused me of bumping into their son, asking me to apologize."
Then, Olivia smiled. 'Then, Lyla, who was only one year old, suddenly cried, and her face flushed red. She wailed and cried, scaring the parents of the boy. They quickly took their son and fled."
She looked at Zac. "Guess what happened after that?"
Zac shook his head. "What happened?"
Olivia's eyes glistened with tears when she continued. "Then ... As soon as the boy and his family left, Lyla stopped crying.
She sobbed for a while and chuckled as she looked at me. It's amazing, isn't it?"
It felt like God sent Lyla to protect her.

She was so young, yet she used everything she had to protect her Mommy.
Zac handed Olivia a tissue. “You miss her, don’t you?"
Olivia pressed her lips together, trying to hold back tears. " Mm."
"Do you regret coming back? You wouldn't have had to part with her if you didn't return.'
"No," Olivia wiped her eyes and looked up at him. She said firmly, "I miss her very much, but I never regretted returning to Ocean City.
"When I found out you were missing, I was distraught. I had only one thought: to find you, regardless of the consequences."
Startled, Zac said, "Liv, thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?"
Zac smiled warmly. "I just feel like thanking you. You have always thanked me before. Can't I thank you for once?"
Olivia chuckled. "You do know how to joke.”
"Okay. Go home early. I'll be back tomorrow anyway."
"Well, okay. I've prepared your room for you to stay in when you return home."
Return home...
Zac was in a daze. He felt the word 'home' seemed so distant yet so familiar.
Before this, the home was an empty shell of shelter for him. From now on, he had a house with Olivia waiting for him in it.

He could not help his lips from hooking, and happiness surged through him.
Olivia patted Zac upon seeing him smiling. "Why are you smiling? Are you so happy to be out of the hospital?"
"Of course, I’m happy to be out of the hospital."

"Well, be careful when you go back."
"Okay."
Olivia pondered how to celebrate Zac’s discharge from the hospital, but she remembered he could not eat many kinds of food.
There were so many foods an injured person should avoid...
As she pondered, she lifted her head and her eyes met Jennie's. They were both startled.
Jennie reacted quicker than Olivia and quickly ran away. Olivia snapped out of her daze and ran after her.
"Jennie, stop."
However, no matter how she shouted, Jennie refused to stop or turn around.
When Olivia was on the ground floor, she bumped into a man. Looking at Jennie, who was getting away, she hesitated for a moment before choosing to help the man up.
Her lungs were overworked by the stress of her sudden run, so she leaned against the post and coughed.
"Are you alright?
Clutching her collar, Olivia coughed. "I’m fine. I just need to rest."
Suddenly, the man looked at her and called out in surprise." Lady? Is that you, Phoebe?"
