Olivia Jenkins was moved, but warmth couldn't thaw her already frozen heart.
Her slightly curled long eyelashes quivered gently as Olivia Jenkins said calmly, "Benjamin Johnson, you are really kind, and I'm truly grateful to you. There's no need for you to do so many thoughtful things for me. I'm sorry, but I may not be able to repay you with the same sentiment."
"Olivia, don't worry about it, and don't feel burdened. It was you who led me out and helped me find my true self. Because of you, I got a new lease on life, a different view of the world, and understanding.
As my guide, I should thank you with the same warmth, encourage you, and even guide you. A doctor can't operate on themselves, but colleagues can. I hope you'll be kinder to yourself and say no to unpleasant things."
Olivia bit her lip, and a layer of tears unexpectedly gathered in her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Olivia lifted her head, blinked her eyes, and tried hard to disperse the mist of tears.
