Chapter 910 A Chance for a Fresh Start
With every step Olivia took, her heart grew more and more anxious. On the other hand, Jay was constantly looking around with curiosity, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Jay, you can't wander around or touch things randomly. You can't..." Olivia kept reminding her son all the way there, and the unease in her heart was clear on her face.
Jimmy sighed and took her delicate hand in his own.
"I'm here for you."
Although it was just a short sentence, it made Olivia's face light up with a radiant smile like a rose blooming.
Taking a deep breath together, they walked into the lobby. Mr. Miller and Mrs. Miller had received news of their arrival and were anxiously waiting for them to arrive; especially Mr. Miller who nervously clutched onto his wheelchair armrests.
His eyes filled with worry and excitement were fixed on the door until they finally walked into the living room.
"Anna!" Mrs. Miller ran over when she saw Olivia and hugged her tightly.
The sudden embrace startled Olivia; she didn't like physical contact with people so she instinctively wanted to push Mrs. Miller away but couldn't do so because Mrs. Miller held onto her tightly.
"Where have you been these past few years? Why didn't you tell us? Do you know that your father and I have been living in pain all these years? You naughty girl! You scared us both!" cried out Mrs. Miller while sobbing uncontrollably.
"I... I..." Faced with Mrs. Miller's crying plea, Olivia felt helpless.
Sensing her fear and discomfort, Jimmy quickly stepped forward.
"Mrs. Miller, you've frightened Anna."
Upon hearing Jimmy's voice, Mrs. Miller slowly released Olivia from embrace.
Feeling free again after being released from such an intense hug, Olivia breathed out deeply before subconsciously moving closer towards Jimmy as if only he could bring her comfort.
Jimmy gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his hawk-like deep gaze full of tenderness fell upon on her face.
After she calmed down a little bit, Jimmy led her by holding hands towards Mr. Miller.
Even though Mr. Miller did not break down emotionally like his wife did, his trembling hands, and eyes betrayed his suppressed excitement.
"It's good to have you back," Mr. Miller said with a trembling voice.
Olivia surprisingly felt an uncontrollable warmth when facing Mr. Miller.
She crouched down in front of Mr. Miller's wheelchair and gently held his hand.
"I'm sorry, I have amnesia and don't remember anything."
Mr. and Mrs. Miller looked at each other in disbelief.
"You... you really have amnesia?" Mrs. Miller looked at Olivia skeptically.
Olivia nodded her head.
"I don't remember anything except for Jay."
Mrs. Miller sighed deeply.
"Well, if you've lost your memory, then so be it; memories from the past aren't pleasant anyway. It's better this way; our family being together is the greatest happiness." Mrs. Miller smiled as she spoke. Seeing her son looking around curiously, Jimmy pulled him over to meet his grandparents.
"Jay, say hello to Grandpa and Grandma."
Jay obediently nodded.
"Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandma."
Jay's sweet words made Mr. Miller and Mrs. Miller so delighted that they couldn't stop smiling. In less than half an hour, they felt like giving him all the goodness in the world to make up for the love he had been missing these past few years.
Watching her son interact so naturally and happily with his grandparents brought a smile to Olivia's face too.
"What are you thinking about?" Jimmy came over, holding a freshly squeezed juice cup and asking softly.
Olivia took the cup but those beautiful clear eyes remained locked onto her son and parents before answering, "I thought that Jay was my only family. Once he grew up and got married, I'd live alone, but surprisingly, I replace my family and experience warmth of home. I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jimmy's large hand lightly tapped her shoulder as he leaned forward slightly.
"Anna, shouldn't you thank me most? If it wasn't for me replaceing you, how could we possibly enjoy our happiness now? My definition of happiness is simple: having you two is enough!"
Jimmy gently wrapped his arms around her and whispered his deep affection in her ear.
Olivia instinctively tried to push him away, but Jimmy had sensed her intentions. He firmly held onto her waist, not giving her any chance to escape.
"Are you always this dominant?"
Olivia furrowed her brows as she was tightly embraced by Jimmy. She lifted up her head in his arms and asked softly.
Jimmy shook his head with a smile and said affectionately, "Only when I'm facing you. Because I won't allow myself to let go of your hand."
The memory of Anna's disappearance over the past few years suddenly flashed through Jimmy's mind, causing him inexplicable pain. He hugged Olivia tightly. "Are you... afraid?"
Feeling the trembling arms that were holding onto herself tightly, Olivia looked confused.
Jimmy took a deep breath and breathed in the faint fragrance unique to Olivia's body.
"I am afraid... afraid of losing you."
Olivia's heart skipped a beat.
Perhaps... perhaps they could give each other a chance - a chance for a fresh start? "Daddy! Mommy!"
Jay ran over sweating profusely after playing with his grandparents for a long while.
Olivia quickly pushed Jimmy away when she saw her parents looking at them lovingly from afar. She felt shy as she wiped off Jay's sweat on his forehead with tissue paper.
Mrs. Miller pushed Mr. Miller towards them smilingly.
"I'll go prepare dinner first; why don't you guys rest in your room for awhile? When dinner is ready, I'll call for you."
Olivia shook her head.
"You've been playing with Jay all afternoon; let me help out instead even though my cooking skills aren't great."
With a sweet smile on her face, although she couldn't bring herself to call Mrs. Miller "Mom" yet but deep down inside she was slowly accepting this fact because they were related by blood after all. "All right then! Let's prepare dinner together," Mrs. Miller eyes glistened with tears.
"I'll take Mr. Miller back to rest," said Jimmy who hoped that he could give more opportunities for Olivia and Mrs. Miller to bond, so he directly took Mr. Miller along while pushing their son ahead of them. "Anna, let's go prepare dinner."
Mrs. Miller affectionately took Olivia's hand, her face beaming with a kind smile that put her at ease.
