Chapter 220 At The Civil Affairs Bureau

Mrs. Samantha was speechless for a while. She couldn’t utter a word. She looked down at Elvis for some seconds, then she asked.

“Now that Olive is gone, what are you going to do?”

Elvis took in his pale lips into his mouth, and released them almost immediately.

“Life has just returned to the way it used to be. I’m already accustomed to it.” Elvis’s low, weak and self-deprecating voice replied.

Old Mrs. Samantha was in tears as she touched Elvis’s short hair tenderly. She really couldn’t conclude if he had made the right decision. The marriage had ended hastily, and in addition to the scars in his heart, he also suffered physical injuries.

“Okay, grandma is promising you that she won’t go in search of Olive. Olive is a good girl, but since you both have chosen to let go, grandma has nothing else to say. Starting from today, you must actively cooperate with the treatment. Be it that of the injury, sleep disorder, or me ntal illness, Elvis, please promise me that you’ll take them seriously.”

Mrs. Samantha was already old, and it was obvious that her years left on earth weren’t lengthy. She could only stay with Elvis for a few more years. Hence she had to made sure that he was fine before she finally left earth.

“Okay.” Elvis responded, and gently closed his eyes.

North quickly opened the door of her apartment.

“Olive, what’s wrong? Come in.” North pulled the crying Olive into the house.

“Olive, why are your hands so cold? Your body is as cold as ice, what happened?” North inquired as she scrutinized Olive’s body.

In the past, Olive had a really good blood which always kept her warm. North was fond of hugging her, and it was the first time that she had felt Olive’s body being so cold.

Olive had cried until her eyes were swollen. She looked at North, and her weak voice replied,

“North, I’m homeless now. Can you please allow me stay here for some days?”

“What are you talking about? This is your home. You’re free to stay here as long as you want. Tell me what’s going on. Did you run out this late because you quarreled with Mr. Augustine?” North probed inquisitively.

Olive’s bright pupils became watery, and the tears in her eyes were about to fall.
