Chapter 175 Severing Ties With Him
Finished
Before long, the call was answered, and a familiar voice greeted her. “Why the sudden call? What’s going
on?”
It was a voice she knew well, gentle yet tinged with affectionate amusement.
Olivia hesitated for a moment, then a smile played at the corners of her mouth. “Can’t I call just because I miss you, even if there’s no urgent news?”
Her tone was playful and tender.
Although she said so, Joker knew her well enough. If there wasn’t something pressing, she wouldn’t have reached out to him at this hour.
Despite this, he chose not to call her out.
With a hearty laugh, Joker replied, “I miss you and Liam, too.”
Then, shifting to a more serious tone, he asked, “How’s the adjustment to being back home? And work–is everything going smoothly?”
“Things are pretty good,” Olivia replied.
After some hesitation, she finally bit her lip and confessed, “Liam went to see that man…”
“Hmm?” Joker’s voice carried a note of confusion.
Taking a deep breath, Olivia began, “Master, at first, I wanted nothing to do with him. But Liam seems to have grown attached to him. His presence started to intertwine with my plans and daily life.”
As she spoke, Olivia’s fingertips trembled slightly, her eyes a weight that had burdened her heart was finally lifted.
etraying the warmth of unshed tears. It felt as if
On the other end, Joker sensed her distress immediately. After a moment of silence, he spoke gently. “Olivia, if that’s how it is, just let things unfold naturally. The bond between a father and his child and the ties of blood can’t be severed. But the ties between you and him can.”
Listening to his solemn words, Olivia pursed her lips, tilting her head back, teetering on the brink of tears.
Indeed, she had the power to sever the connection between herself and Nathan. So, what was she truly worried about?
“Olivia, five years ago, I rescued you. I offered you a second chance at life, a chance to redefine yourself. I nurtured your capacity to think independently and make tough decisions, believing you could face any challenge head–on. So why hesitate now?”
Joker’s question hung in the air, plunging Olivia into a profound silence, as she too had no idea why she was hesitating.
“Do you still recall what I told you back then, when I sent you off for training on No Man’s Island?” Joker questioned.
Olivia nodded solemnly. “I remember.”
survived. I thought you’d face anything without fear.” Despite his steady voice, a tinge of disappointment lingered.
Olivia couldn’t help but revisit the second year after she had ventured abroad. She had just given birth to Liam, only to be subsequently abandoned by her master on No Man’s Island.
That experience remained a haunting nightmare, even now, the memory sent shivers down her spine.
Joker’s words awakened something deep within her, a reminder of the resilience she had displayed in surviving against all odds. It dawned on her that certain worries were needless.
“Master, I understand now.”
In response, Joker emitted a casual hum, not saying anything more.
He understood that she had come to terms with it since she said so.
Changing the subject, Olivia inquired, “Master, what have you been busy with lately?”
“I’m vacationing in Granatano,” Joker replied casually, though his tone swiftly shifted to one of gravity. “I’m glad you called me. I have a mission for you.”
“All right,” Olivia agreed without hesitation, then queried, “What’s the assignment?”
“A few days back, Shadow was ambushed during a mission and sustained injuries. His location at the time was classified, known solely to the organization’s core members,” Joker explained, his words measured. “I suspect we have a mole. Our investigation is ongoing, but we’ve identified the individual who targeted Shadow. They’ve since returned to our country. This is where I require your assistance.”
