Elegance Gardens.

Olivia was pacing back and forth in the courtyard by herself. It was 7.30 p.m., but Zac had yet to return.

He said he would be back for dinner, so why was he not back yet even after an hour had passed?

Jimmy’s matter made Olivia worry more about Zac.

Mrs. Simmons took a coat and draped it on Olivia’s shoulder. “Miss, please go in and wait.”

Olivia felt uneasy and asked, “Mrs. Simmons, what time does Zac usually get home when he comes back for dinner?”

Mrs. Simmons pondered and said, “He usually arrives latest by 6.30 p.m. Maybe he is late because of the meeting.”

“No. He’d let me know if there was a delay, but I tried calling him, and I could not get through. Something’s wrong.”

“Let’s talk about it inside, Miss. It’s windy outside, and you will catch a cold.”

Although Olivia was reluctant, she followed Mrs. Simmons and returned to the house.

As soon as she entered, she heard the phone ringing in the living room. She rushed to answer it.

“Zac?”

    The shock was only momentary. His gaze soon turned cold and sharp again.John clenched both his fists, wanting to vent his anger. However, he put down his hand after lifting it and then turned around, leaving the hospital angrily.Wes, who had just arrived, saw him walking out and followed him, puzzled. “Sir, why do you want to leave? Haven’t we just arrived? Don’t you want…”John gritted his teeth and shot Wes a cold glance. “He won’t die.”He would not die?They had just received a call from Ken saying that Zac was in severe condition, yet John said Zac would not die without seeing him.What happened?Curiosity struck Wes, but he did not dare to ask and could only follow John out of the hospital.Meanwhile, Olivia had twelve ounces of blood taken from her. She felt dizzy, like her mind was floating in the clouds.The doctor had suggested only taking six ounces, but Olivia insisted on taking twelve ounces, so they had no choice.Seeing her pale face and lips, the doctor sigh

    Olivia tried hard to stand up. Her voice was trembling. “What happened to him?”“We have rescued him for now, but we must observe him for twelve hours. If his breathing is stable, it will be fine. If it isn’t…”“What will happen?”The doctor sighed. “He will be in a vegetative state.”Vegetative state?Olivia’s legs turned to jelly, and she fell to the ground.Fortunately, Ken was alert and held onto her quickly. “Doctor, which part of him got hurt?”The doctor looked at Ken and said, “Dr. Lucas, we are acquaintances. Let me be frank. His situation is not good. Even if he can survive these twelve hours, he will still face many problems.“Mr. Quinton suffered nerve damage in his spine, which could paralyze his lower body. He also suffered nerve damage in both ears from the violent impact, so he could be deaf.”Olivia’s pupils quivered, and she looked at the doctor in disbelief. “Doctor, you must be lying to me, right?”The doctor shook his head regretfully. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Qu

    The hospital.Olivia woke up two hours later.Although she was still frail, she refused to rest and insisted on going to visit Zac.Ken had no choice but to take her there.Through the glass, Olivia could see Zac lying on the bed, connected to tubes, with gauze on his head and feet. He looked like a mummy with no vital signs.Olivia bit her lip and leaned against the wall. Her eyes turned red.She just could not handle it. Things kept happening to people around her.Ken was about to comfort her when he heard her asking, “Ken, am I a jinx?”It startled Ken to hear that. “Why do you think so? This has nothing…”“The people around me, my parents, Uncle Wallace, Zy, all died. Even Jess and my two babies died. Only Ian is doing well.”Ken did not know how to comfort her. He thought for a while. “At least John is not dead. He has been with you for the longest time.”However, Olivia seemed to be trapped in her emotions. She shook her head and said, “No. John is not dead because he

    Soon, it was eight in the morning on the following day.The doctor came in, looked around, and said, “Mrs. Quinton, Mr. Quinton must have felt your presence. He has made it through the hardest part.”“When will he wake up?”After a night of silence, Olivia’s voice was hoarse.“I can’t say for sure. It could be today, or it could be tomorrow, but for now, his vital signs are stable. You don’t need to worry. We’ll transfer him to a single room on the top floor.”Olivia nodded. “Okay. Thank you, doctor.”“Mrs. Quinton, please get some rest.”Olivia said nothing and left the ICU with her head lowered.As soon as she walked out, she bumped into Ken.“You waited all night?”“No, I just got here. I’m changing shifts to be with you.”“No. I want to wait for him to wake up.”Looking at her pale face, Ken sighed. “If Zac woke up to see you so haggard, he would blame himself. You wouldn’t want him to blame himself, would you?”Olivia lifted her head and glanced at him. “I won’t go ba

    A while after Ken left, Olivia fell asleep.When she woke up, she opened her eyes to meet a pair of worried eyes.Startled, Olivia lifted her head and looked at the man. “Zac, you are awake?”Zac nodded. “Sorry I made you worry.”“Don’t say that.”Then, something struck her. Her pupils constricted, and she asked, “You… can hear me?”The room fell silent.It was so quiet that they could only hear the sound of the clock ticking. Even their breath seemed to stop.After a long time, Zac hid the disappointment in his eyes and forced a smile. “No. I can’t hear.”Boom!Olivia felt her brain buzzing, then it went blank.Her legs felt weak, and she fell back onto the chair, looking at him with confusion and panic. Then, her gaze turned into pity and fear, and she finally burst into tears.“Zac…”Her lips quivered and she had a lump in her throat. She did not know what to say.Zac reached out to wipe Olivia’s tears and comforted her. “Don’t cry. You know it breaks my heart to see y

    John suppressed the anger rising in him. He clenched his fists, looked at the two intimate people, and said word, “Sorry to bother you both.”It angered him when he heard Olivia calling Zac her husband. He comforted himself by believing that Olivia was trying to save Zac and that he would not be so calculative about this.However, as soon as he walked in, he saw them holding hands, and they seemed to be intimate.If he was not worried about Olivia hating him even more, he would have beaten Zac up.Olivia froze and quickly wiped the tears from her face. “What are you doing here?”The flames of fury were lit deep down within John.He looked at her coldly. “I’m here to visit my best friend. Why can’t I be here?”Olivia took the fruit basket from him. “Zac just woke up and needs rest. You can come and visit him tomorrow.”She sounded like Zac’s wife when she said that.John grabbed her hand, stared at her angrily, and said, “My wife is here with my best friend. How can I leave j

    “John, can you be more mature?”John was speechless and startled as he thought, ‘I’m immature?’“You are in your thirties and are considered old already. Why are you still acting like a fool and thinking about all that sh*t? You want women. Can’t you choose other women in Ocean City?”Olivia glared at him. “If you don’t want someone new, you can go find your Dorothy. Maybe she is still waiting for you. Please stop bothering Zac and I, okay?”Then, she glared at him and emphasized each word. “Zac and I are getting married. If you keep bugging me, the reporters will publish something which will inconvenience my life.”She was already telling him about her side of the situation in her own words.If he was determined to do so, she could only take it as he wanted to harm her and Zac.Old? Fool?John was furious. However, when he saw Olivia looking pale, he swallowed his words and asked, “Liv, do we have to be like this?”“I have nothing to say to you,” Olivia paused. “However, I kn

    Zac’s ward.Olivia peeled the skin of an apple and cut it into pieces before feeding him.He froze. He took the apple and said, “I will eat it myself.”Olivia put the bowl on the table and smiled at him.The room suddenly became quiet, making their nervous breathing sound clearer.They said nothing for minutes. After a while, Zac said, “Liv, you don’t have to take what happened to heart. I know what John is like.”Olivia hung her head, thought about it, typed something on the phone, and showed it to Zac.[I’m afraid he will hurt you. If Jimmy knows about this, it will not benefit you.]Zac smiled. “Don’t worry. John knows his limits.”She did not know why. After so many problems, Zac still trusted John and asked her to rest assured.However, Olivia said nothing more since he had already said so. After all, Zac was already deaf, and it would be challenging to communicate with him.Seeing her head hanging down as if she was worried, Zac advised her. “You must not have gotten a

    Elegance Gardens.As soon as Olivia entered the door, Ken appeared out of nowhere with Fred and Kate standing beside her. Then, the three of them looked at her with surprisingly serious eyes.Olivia was stunned for a moment. “What’s the matter? I just went out for a meal. Why are you so serious?”“Was Jennie the one who took you out?”It was Ken who spoke first.Olivia nodded. “Well, yes.”“Liv, are you crazy? You went out to eat with her?”Fred stepped forward, looked her up and down, and said with a frown, “Have you forgotten how she betrayed you? You should never tolerate someone who cheats even once. What if she had bad intentions of inviting you out?”“Pheebs, that woman is not as straightforward as you think.”Out of the three, Ken was the calmest. “Did she say what she was doing in Ocean City?”Olivia shook her head. “I asked, but she didn’t say anything. She only said that she wanted to stay in Ocean City and asked if I was still angry with her.”Hearing this, Fred r

    Jennie brought Olivia to a popular fondue place. The melted cheese looked very appetizing, and it was the kind that Olivia liked in the past.However, she could not raise her spirits today, and after eating a few mouthfuls, she put down her fork and started to space out.Jennie gave her a piece of strawberry. “Pheebs, eat more. You are so skinny now. Why do you still eat so little?”“Maybe I don’t have a good appetite.”“Don’t you always have an appetite for cheese? Pheebs, how long have you been like this? Have you seen a doctor?”“I’m used to it. It’s fine.”Jennie suddenly grabbed Olivia’s hand and looked at her solemnly. “Pheebs, what’s wrong with you? You’ve really changed a lot, and I don’t even know you anymore. Even though I could tell you were sad before, you were still very positive, but now… I’m worried that you’re going to do something stupid.”Upon hearing this, Olivia was stunned for a moment. Then, she forced a smile. “No, I just haven’t slept well recently, so I’

    The next day, Olivia woke up and planned to go to the mental hospital to find Dorothy without telling everyone, but she received an unexpected call.“Pheebs, it’s me. I’m in Ocean City. Do you want to meet?”Olivia was stunned for a few seconds before she realized who the other party was. Then, she could not stop herself from frowning.“Jennie Sutherland?”“Pheebs, are you still mad at me? Why are you calling my full name like that?”Olivia pursed her lips. She smiled dryly and did not explain.Perhaps it was because too many things had happened recently and they had affected her state of mind. Unbeknownst to her, she became less tolerant now.Whatever happened in the past had not blown away like dust, but remained in her heart and turned into a deep grudge.When she heard that Olivia was not speaking, Jennie smiled. “Are you free for a meal? Pheebs, do you not even want to eat with me now? I am genuinely…”“Next time.”She was still a murder suspect. Plus, she still had not

    ‘Zy...‘This woman looks like Zy…’Fiona Miller glanced at her, frowned slightly, and stepped forward to get in front of her.“You are so weak, but you still have time to worry about me? Stand behind me.”Olivia was taken aback. Not only did they look alike, but they even spoke similarly, especially so as she stood in front of Olivia. They were so similar…Before Olivia knew it, her eyes were red.‘Zy…’However, her Zy died in her arms. She watched Zy lose her breath with her own eyes, so how could she appear here?However, Olivia was really greedy for more time with Zy, so greedy that she did not want to be rational anymore.When she regained her composure, she saw Fiona and the fat woman engaging in a fight, so she hurried forward to help. Olivia pulled the fat woman’s hair back and then separated the two.The fat woman cursed a few times, but in the end, she was still a little scared, so she ran to the opposite side of the room and squatted down.Under the light, Fiona’s

    “He really is innocent!”Olivia roared as she watched the officer walking away.However, the other party did not look back at her. It was as if no one cared about the truth at all.Just as she lost her footing and fell, someone pulled her hair forcefully.“Ah!”“Hello, b*tch! Someone wants us to take good care of you!”When Olivia heard that, an unusually tall and burly woman had already dragged her to the ground. The woman then sat on Olivia’s body and slapped her with all her might.Olivia had just had a fever and was still weak. Thus, when she was slapped hard all of a sudden, she felt her brain buzzing instantly.However, the other party did not seem like she was going to stop. After that, the woman raised her hand and slapped Olivia again.After two slaps, blood spilled from the corner of Olivia’s mouth, contrasting against her pale face even more eerily.Just as the fat woman was about to slap her for the third time, Olivia suddenly exerted all her strength to grab the

    After a while, someone kicked open the door, and uniformed police officers walked in with an arrest warrant.“Miss Olivia Larson, we need you to come with us.”Olivia was taken aback, but Fred had already rushed forward before she could register what was going on.“There is no Olivia Larson here. You have found the wrong person. My sister still has a fever and needs to rest. Please get out immediately!”However, the leader of the group just glanced at him, ignored him, and then walked around him to the bed. After that, he looked down at Olivia, who was lying weakly on the bed.“Ms. Larson, you probably don’t want me to take coercive measures, do you?”Olivia did not know what was happening, but she knew very well that her identity had been revealed. She had nowhere to escape, so she had to face the music.Therefore, she lifted the blanket and stood up.“Okay, I’ll go with you. But please wait for a moment downstairs to let me change, okay?”The man glanced at her and nodded, “

    Olivia fell ill. However, scared of being hounded by the paparazzi, Mrs. Simmons was too scared to send her to the hospital, so she could only call Ken over.The two were busy these days and did not have much contact with each other. Ken came in and froze when he saw Olivia lying in bed.'Why is her face so pale? Why is she so frail? She's so thin that she looks like a piece of paper from far away and has blended into the covers.' "Ken? You came?"Groggy, Olivia felt someone standing at the end of the bed watching her, so she tried hard to open her eyes to see. Seeing it was Ken, she squeezed out a smile."Jeez, Mrs. Simmons. I'm just a little tired. Did she have to bring you over?"Ken frowned, went up to test her forehead, and said, "You're an adult. Why did you get yourself into this with no one around to look after you? You're a mother. You don't even know you have a fever and still stay up all night."Olivia pressed her lips together and said nothing."Are you worried ab

    Xavier bailed out Olivia that night."Pheebs, don't worry. Nothing's going to happen to you. Trust me."Xavier grabbed her hand and comforted her repeatedly, but Olivia did not respond. She was like a stunned puppet.She had temporarily left the place that scared her, but her heart was still unsettled.She thought everything was over when John died.However, it seemed John's death was the beginning of everything.Who was behind all this?She desperately wanted to know.She suddenly grabbed Xavier's arm and used an almost imploring tone, "Xavier, help me find out who did this, will you?"She knew she could only solve the problem from the root by finding the real culprit and source.Xavier frowned. "I will. Please give me a moment.""Thank you...""Don't thank me. You're making yourself a stranger."Xavier opened the car door for her as he spoke. "Get in the car. I'll take you home. Lyla and the rest are waiting for you at home."Olivia froze at the mention of Lyla. Then sh

    After leaving Quinton Group, Olivia got another call from the school."Mrs. Quinton, you can be at ease now that we've investigated this and all those involved have been handed over to the police."The person on the other end of the line paused. "Besides, we've also solved the case of Sam smashing the car. All the teachers involved have been fired, and the students have been ordered to transfer to another school. You can let Sam and Miss come back to school without any worries, Madam."She frowned as she hung up.She was surprised by the way the school handled this.She did not believe the school handled it voluntarily. After all, the principal had arrogantly demanded an apology from her.Why fire everyone all of a sudden?The more Olivia thought about it, the more she realized that it must have something to do with the board of directors, but who was secretly helping her?'Is it Zac?'Is he atoning for it in such a way because he knows he did something wrong but is too scared
