Laura was taken aback by her determination, momentarily speechless. Josie was the first to break the silence, asking with a smile, “Are you content with your current situation?”

Laura glanced unconsciously at Zach, who was smoking outside. “Well, at the very least, it’s fulfilling.”

“That’s good. I hope the Olsen family can provide you with a sense of fulfillment instead of self-denial.” Josie propped her head up. “I’m happy for you, as it seems you’re no longer held back by Zach.”

Laura didn’t argue, as it was the truth.

“Back then, I was deeply grateful to you for saving me.”

When Josie heard that, mixed emotions stirred within her, and for a moment, she was unsure how to reveal the truth to Laura.

Laura didn’t understand. “Why are you suddenly saying all this?”

Josie didn’t know how to explain, so she simply said, “I’m leaving.”
