Chapter 709: Forgive Yourself.
Olive stepped forward, she stretched out her hand to hold Bounty’s arm. Bounty’s entire body was stiff, her skin was also cold.
Olive smiled and said, “Principal Bounty, I heard that you were here, so I came over to see you. It’s been more than three years since we last saw each other.”
Bounty could feel Olive’s warmth. Her clear eyes looked at her and she blinked playfully, conveying endless warmth.
Bounty’s stiffened body slowly relaxed. She raised her hand to straighten the messy hair beside her cheeks.
“I haven’t seen you in years, my dear.”
Olive looked at Alpha, and said, “Uncle, Principal Bounty and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. We would like to catch up for a while. If you have something to do, you can go ahead.”
How could Bounty not see that Olive was helping Alpha and Annabelle to get away? But she had no way to reject this warm and delicate girl, so she could only temporarily let Alpha go.
“Brother, let’s talk next time.”
Alpha looked at Olive, then he looked at Bounty, he turned around and got into the luxurious car, and drove away with Annabelle.
When the Annabelle and Alpha left, Bounty patted Olive little hand, “Olive, I’ve let them you’ve gotten your wish.”
1. go.
Now
Olive held Bounty’s cold hand. “Principal Bounty, I admit that I wanted you to let them go, but I hope you can move on too.”
Bounty’s eyes suddenly turned red. She shook her head sadly and dazedly. “For so many years, I’ve lived a very painful life. Teach me, help me to move on.”
Olive was also a mum. Three years ago, she gave birth to her children, so she could understand the hurt and pain that Bounty had suffered. It was a type of pain that was most difficult to heal
However, there were so many doubts about what happened many years ago. Olive knew her Aunt Annabelle too well. She was certain that Aunt Annabelle was definitely not that kind of a person! “Principal Bounty, I can help you, but you have to open up your heart and tell me everything you knew and saw back then.”
Olive knew that what happened years ago was a nightmare for Bounty. She wasn’t sure if Bounty would be able to confide in her.
However, she had to listen to Bounty’s own words, because she was the witness back then.
More importantly, Bounty had suffered great psychological trauma. She had a very serious mental illness!
The fact that she had lost control of her emotions in front of Alpha just now was the best proof, but Bounty had not accepted to see a therapist for so many years.
Old Mrs. Samantha, Alpha, and even Annabelle weren’t aware of her illness.
