Upon hearing Cedric's name, Olivia stopped walking. She did not turn around, but she could feel her heart pound so hard she hoped Gavin did not hear it.
She maintained her blank expression as she turned around to face him.
"Olivia… Cedric is alive," Gavin informed. He decided to personally tell Olivia about it, hoping it could lighten her burden as well, just like how it had calmed his father.
There was a moment of silence, and Olivia fought against her own emotions. That day when Oliver had died, she had vowed that she would not let anything nor anyone distract her from her goal of gaining power. She deserved punishment for her brother's death; after all, she was partly responsible for it. She did not deserve a chance to be happy with anyone because she took that chance away from her brother and his pregnant fiance.
