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
Olivia felt like her entire body was in agony. Her lungs, her belly, her hands, and her knees hurt, and she felt so weak she did not know exactly where the pain started.After being dragged by John for a few steps, her knees buckled and she crashed onto the floor on her knees.Her red and swollen knees were already injured from kneeling too long on the rocks, so she crumbled abruptly and heavily onto the ground, the pain was excruciating.Olivia could not hold back her tears in pain, but she did not want to cry. She gritted her teeth tightly to stop herself from crying. She also did not cry out for John to stop.Then, John realized something was wrong and as he looked back, he saw how stubborn and pained Olivia was, and his heart tugged with pain.“Get up!” He ordered coldly.“I can’t.”“Olivia Larson, what is this show you’re putting on? Are you a damsel in distress? Get up!”John felt his temper rose. He yanked her arms harshly, not realizing that his action had caused blood
John stopped in his tracks, glanced at Olivia, and said, “Stop pretending, Olivia, you would never die.”She would never die…Did he not remember that she just came out of the operating theater less than 24 hours ago?How dare he still declare that she would never die?Olivia scoffed. “Wanna bet, Johnny? Wanna bet if I’d die or not?”John’s heart shook. It hurt a little.He frowned and said, “Okay, I’ll bet with you.”Olivia smiled.‘Johnny, you’ve lost your bet,’ she thought.John pushed the door open and Dorothy Ellis was lying on a bed inside.The nurse was preparing the tools needed for blood transfusion, and when she lifted up her head, she saw John entering with Olivia in his arms.The nurse remembered Olivia. She had also participated in the surgery to save Olivia’s life last night.“Take her blood.”“Are you sure, sir? This lady had just survived an emergency operation, and it’s only natural for blood loss…”Before the nurse could finish, John glared at her coldly
John sat by the bed and assured Dorothy gently. “It’s all good now, don’t be afraid.”Dorothy batted her tear-soaked eyelashes, bit her lips, and looked at John. “Hug me, please?”John paused for a while before embracing her in his arms.Immediately, he heard the woes of the woman in his arms. “You left for so long, and Liv was also gone. My heart started to panic because I was so worried that something would happen to you two, so I went to the balcony to take a look.“I didn’t expect a bat to come flying towards me, and it terrified me so much! I wanted to take something to shoo it away, but it aggravated my wounds, and after that… I don’t even know how I fainted.“Johnny, why is it that when I called you, you didn’t answer? I was really worried that something might happen to you.”John signed. He overthought just now. How could he have suspicion for kind, frail Dorothy?“Sorry, I didn’t hear my phone ring. It won’t happen again.”Dorothy nodded and responded with a soft “okay
