GoodReadOlivia's eyes narrowed. "What's wrong, Mrs. Powell?" Claire picked up the pillow cover, flustered. "Just a normal day for an old granny." She quickly made the bed. "Here, Dr. Fordham. I'm cooking smeat, so | should get going." She left in haste. Olivia's eyes didn't leave her back.
Right then, Ethan called Olivia. She scanned the area, making sure that there was no one else before answering the phone.
"Liv, | found something. The Lovells were dead a few years ago, but..." he drawled as though there was a twist to the story.
"But what?" she urged.
"There's a loophole. When Sean was undergoing surgery in the hospital, it was a distant relative who confirmed the Lovell's bodies.

"Ginger lived in Peach Village. The villagers put a lot of importance on weddings and funerals. If someone gets in trouble, the whole village will lend a hand.
"For burials, it can only be done after the head of the village chooses a date for it. That's their culture.
"It usually takes about three to seven days before the burial is done. Sometimes, when there are no auspicious dates, the burial could be put off for a month.

"Don't be such a stranger, Liv. We're a family. The story behind the Lovells is more complicated than you think it is. Don't stay there for too long." She caught on to the problem as well, and Sean and Avery crossed her mind.
She kept feeling that there was an invisible string binding her with the Fordham family.
Her hunch was telling her that she was close to the truth. If she had given up right now, when else would she ever find out? "I'll be careful. Plus, | have your bodyguards with me." Ethan went silent for a moment before saying, "Liv, don't stay in the scar with Sean. | have a bad feeling about this." This was the golden opportunity for the other party to take action. He couldn't bring himself to gamble with her life.

Claire served local dishes on the table and wiped her hands with her apron.
"We can only do this much in the village. Hope you don't mind them. The ingredients are cleaner compared to the ones you can find out there.
"| reared the chickens and ducks and grew organic vegetables myself." "Thank you," said Olivia politely before sitting next to Sean.
When Claire was going to fill Sean's plate, Olivia had already given him a piece of bacon.
Her intimate action appeared strange to Willow.
