Chapter 911 She Fell Down
In just two short hours, the mother and daughter had prepared a table full of delicious food. WhenMrs. Miller mentioned her favorite flavors from before, Olivia felt warm inside.
Especially during dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Miller kept serving herself and her son, making Olivia feelhappier than ever before.
Although she still couldn't remember anything, her face was always filled with a happy smile. Maybein the near future, she could confidently call them mom and dad.
After dinner, Jay kept pestering his grandparents while Olivia enjoyed some free time with Jimmyafter cleaning up the kitchen.
The yard was filled with a faint floral scent that made her feel relaxed - something she hadn'texperienced in a long time.
She breathed in the fragrant air contentedly while smiling sweetly at Jimmy's deep voice.
"I haven't been this relaxed for so long."
Olivia raised an eyebrow playfully as she opened her lips to ask, "Is it because you're too busyworking? You need to take care of your health; overworking yourself will only harm your body."
Jimmy shook his head gently as he took Olivia's small hand into his own. "Work is only part of it; Ineed to numb myself through work so that I can fully immerse myself in it. Only then can Itemporarily forget about you and not be reminded of my pain when I lost you."
Jimmy's voice was laced with suppressed pain which made Olivia feel inexplicably sorry for him.novelbin
She lightly caressed his handsome face with one hand while looking at him through clear eyes thatheld complex emotions.
"I'm sorry... I don't remember you... and have caused you years of painful living alone... I'll try mybest to recall everything from before... I promise."
Olivia whispered softly into Jimmy's ear as he replied just as gently.
"Don't force yourself; your happiness is what I want most... understand?"
Olivia nodded slightly as a shallow smile graced her lips. "You've taken good care of them thesepast few years."
From Mrs. Miller, Olivia learned that Jimmy had taken good care of her parents and catered to theirneeds over the past few years, which deeply moved her.
"Your parents are my parents, of course I will take care of them. If you really want to thank me,promise me that you will never leave me again."
Jimmy's well-defined hand lifted Olivia's small chin and he spoke softly, his breath brushing againsther cheek and caused her heart to race.
"I...," faced with Jimmy's affectionate eyes, Olivia felt a heavy burden. Her identity and family madeit difficult for her to enter into this romantic relationship easily.
"What's wrong?"
Feeling that something was off with Olivia, Jimmy asked worriedly.
Olivia shook her head.
"I'm fine. Maybe too many things have happened recently and I haven't rested well. I... I want to goback to my room and rest. If there is nothing else, you can go back first."
Olivia deliberately took a step back and suddenly became cold which made Jimmy feel uneasy.
"Tell me what's going on?"
Jimmy asked anxiously which only made Olivia more agitated.
"I just need some time alone. Please give me some time."
Faced with Olivia's pleading eyes, Jimmy looked helpless.
"Okay, I'll take you back to your room so you can rest."
Without giving her any chance to refuse him, Jimmy held onto Olivia's hand tightly as they walkedtowards the room she used to stay in before leaving the Miller Residence.
"I'll be staying in the guestroom but if there is anything you need or want just let me know eventhough we are at the Miller Residence now."
After helping Olivia sit down on the bed gently, Jimmy whispered tenderly while looking deep intoher eyes full of love.
"I understand," replied Olivia softly as she watched him leave the room.
Later, Jay came into the room, jumping onto his mother's lap excitedly.
"Mommy! Today was such an amazing day! Not only do I have a dad now but also grandparentswho love me so much! I am definitely one of luckiest kids in this world!"
Snuggling up close against his mother's chest, Jay spoke with excitement clear in his voice.
"As long as you're happy, then I'm happy," said Olivia gently, stroking his handsome little face.
Jay nodded but could sense that something was not right with his mom today.
"Olivia, you... you seem to have a burden? Is it because you haven't regained your memory?"
Olivia smiled and kissed her son's little face.
"No, I'm very happy now. Be good and go wash up, okay?"
"Yes, Olivia."
After saying this, he quickly jumped out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom.
Olivia sighed and walked to the window. All she could see was Jimmy's handsome face filled withtenderness and affection. He could overlook her amnesia and disregard her background but... whatabout his parents? He was from a wealthy family and should found a lady who was matched formarriage.
There was a hint of bitterness in Olivia's heart.
"Olivia, can you help me please?"
Jay's voice came from the bathroom.
Olivia put away her thoughts and walked towards the bathroom.
"I'm too short to reach the towel. Can you help me please, Olivia?" Jay pointed at the cabinet abovewith a pleading look on his face.
"Okay, I will help you get it."
Smilingly opening up the cabinet door to retrieve one of their towels inside; perhaps due to slipperybath lotion on floor or maybe thinking about Jimmy all along, Olivia suddenly felt herself slipunderfoot, causing an instant loss of balance as she fell hard against bathtub edge.
"Olivia..."
Seeing his mother's head hit hard against tub edge caused Jay to let out a loud cry.
Although she wanted to tell her son that she was okay, images before her eyes grew increasinglyblurred.
Seeing his mother fainting, Jay went pale with fear; without even bothering covering himself up, hequickly rushed out of room, pounding heavily on the next door for assistance.
Jimmy had just finished handling several urgent documents when he heard frantic knocking at hisdoor which startled him greatly, and caused him to open it hastily, only to find Jay crying out.
"Daddy! Olivia... she fell down!"
