In the Intensive Care Unit.Olivia was lying in bed quietly with the ventilator connected to her. Her hands were unable to take in any injections so the nurse could only place the needle on her arm.Her thighs, knees, and abdomen were covered with bandages, if she had more injuries, she would have been wrapped fully like a mummy.Her face was as pale as paper, if the ECG machine was not beeping, no one would know that this was a living person.John stood by her bedside, frowning and he said with a hoarse voice, “Olivia Larson, don’t die! I will never allow you to die!”She would only be his woman, be it dead or alive.As long as he was alive, he would never give her away to anyone else!He held her chilly and skinny hand while sitting by the bedside, a trace of heartache flashed through his eyes.Zac looked at his pretentious look and could not help but frown. “John Freeman, get out. I assume she won’t want to see you when she wakes.”Hearing such, John raised his head and gla
“Reconcile with Dorothy, she is a kind woman and you were friends before, it’s not that difficult to make up, right?”“As for your younger brother, he is perfectly fine, I’ve never harmed him, don’t worry.”John felt a little tired but he continued to stare at Olivia quietly.‘She does seem to be skinnier than before and she looks haggard.’John frowned. ‘Actually, if you said that you were unwell yesterday night, I wouldn’t have let you kneel for so long…”…Back at the villa.It was already 10 a.m. and John had been gone for almost 5 hours.He was yet to return home and he has not even called.Dorothy felt extremely anxious and she wanted to go to the hospital to look for him but Wes stopped her.“Ms. Ellis, you are still injured, and Sir wants you to rest here.”“I want to look for Johnny.”“Sir is in the hospital so you may let me know if you have any requests.”Wes did not have a nice expression on his face as he knew deep down in his heart that if it was not becaus
Buying groceries?Uncle Wallace did not quite believe that happened.Olivia was the darling daughter of the Larson Family, so she had never stepped foot inside the kitchen. Even after she married John, she did not even do the laundry once. So, why should she go out for groceries while the foster daughter sits at home?In fact, he called Ms. Larson, but nobody picked up.He always felt that Dorothy had some bad intentions, but he could not speak up because of his position.Thus, he did not question her directly. Instead, he chose to observe her.“Are you here as a guest, Ms. Ellis?”Dorothy pointed to her chest and said, “I’m hurt, so Olivia told me to come here for some peace.”After that, she grinned and poured Uncle Wallace a glass of water. “Olivia also mentioned that you were coming, so she wanted you to have a taste of her cooking. That’s why she went out for groceries.”Uncle Wallace did not completely believe her. He swirled the glass and smiled. “Ms. Larson is a very n
Uncle Wallace collapsed to the ground as his head bled profusely.However, Dorothy did not want him dead just yet. After all, if he died here, she would surely be investigated.She thought for a while, then an idea came to her head.She might as well wait for Olivia to come back and then put the blame on her.Dorothy was not sure what else this old geezer knew. That was what worried her the most. That was why she had to get to the bottom of it.She found a rope on the side of the room and then quickly tied Uncle Wallace up with it. After that, she grabbed a towel and stuffed it in his mouth.Immediately after she did that, Dorothy heard the sound of the doorbell coming from downstairs. Wes was home.She quickly closed the door and walked downstairs. Halfway down the stairs, she realized that she moved too hard just now, and that caused her wound to stain her shirt red.Dorothy had no choice but to run to the other room and get a change of clothes.However, her bandages were st
Olivia still felt a little light-headed. She only remembered that John made her kneel on the cold rock because of Dorothy.She thought that she could hold on until the morning, but it was pouring at the time. So, her body began to sway, her lungs tightened and she kept spitting out blood from her mouth.After a certain period of time, she knew that she could not take it anymore, so she passed out right there and then.She thought that she would die.Just before she passed out, she thought to herself, perhaps dying is alright. That way, she could truly be free.She could still dream that John still loved her. She would immerse herself in that dream and pretend like nothing ever happened over the past two years.However, she did not die. She was awake.In fact, the first person that she saw was John. When she looked into those indifferent eyes of his, she realized that this was not a dream.The reality was cruel indeed.She could see John speak, but she could not quite hear him.
After a few spoons, Olivia felt that her throat was better.She coughed a few times and she winced from the soreness in her throat.“Thank you, Mr. Quinton.”“Let me have that.”Zac nodded and tidied her bed. “Come, have some food. I reheated some porridge for you. There’s bacon with the porridge. Is that alright?”He remembered that Olivia wanted this porridge specifically.Thus, he asked someone to cook the porridge. Every two hours, the porridge in the food jar had to be changed for a fresh one.Olivia knew nothing about all this, of course. She simply assumed that Zac brought it by coincidence. She nodded at him and said, “Thank you.”Besides thanking him, she did not know what else to say.Olivia’s right arm still had the IV drip in it. It was so swollen to the point that she could not bend her arm because of all the medications she had been receiving over the past ten hours or so.She frowned a little. It took a lot of effort for her to even eat the porridge.When Zac
“But I didn’t cheat on you.”Olivia said adamantly this time.As truth would have it, she did not cheat on John. However, she knew that John would never believe her.John smiled coldly. “Then why did you go to the hotel with that man? Don’t tell me that you guys are putting on a show?”Olivia shook her head. “I didn’t sleep with another man.”“You didn’t? Olivia, do you think I’m blind? I saw you walking into the hotel with another man all laughing and happy!”“Please believe me.”That day, she really did go to a hotel, but she did not go there to sleep with another man.Dorothy was the one that told her that she left her necklace at the hotel. Dorothy was busy going abroad, so she told Olivia to take it for her.She took it, got the necklace, and came back.On the way back, she had an accident. When she woke up, she was in the hospital, and the child in her tummy was gone too.She did not know how to explain it to John, so she called him up immediately.However, no one ans
“Sir, Ms. Ellis fainted from severe blood loss again, and there’s no more Rh-negative blood in the blood bank. What should we do?”John’s brows were tightly knitted together when he suddenly noticed the blood on Olivia’s arms and said coldly, “Send Dolly to the hospital, I have an idea.”“Okay.”He had not been back to see Dorothy for the entire day since he was here by Olivia’s side. It was his fault that he had neglected the fact that Dorothy’s body was just too frail. However, Olivia was different. She was indestructible, and it was impossible for her to die.She had just been resuscitated and her energy level was off the charts. She certainly did not look like she was about to die.John glared at Olivia sinisterly as he spoke, “Olivia Larson, I’ll give you a chance to make up for your sins.”Olivia paused. Her body was already weakened, so after the torment and commotion that just happened, she felt like a truck ran over her.Her pale, ashen, cracked lips curled as she mutte
