A mouthful of blood gushed into her mouth and she immediately ran into the bathroom to spit it out.She lowered her head and realized that the blood she spat out this time was not scarlet red as usual but pitch black. She opened the water tap and washed the blood away then wiped off the remaining blood on the corner of her mouth. Even if the downpour did not exist, she would most probably become depressed and upset upon seeing the two and end up vomiting blood to death. Olivia took a painkiller right after and tossed the bottle into her bag to take with her. She could not bring herself to stay here anymore.Yet, she ended up running into John just as she reached the door.The man stood in front of her with a deterrent force and gazed at her coldly. “Where are you going?”“None of your business.”John grabbed her wrist. “How can I not care when you are my wife?”She raised her head and looked at him fearlessly despite being in despair. “Johnny, do you still remember that I
“Watch out!”That being said, a figure dashed over and rolled to the side of the road with Olivia in their arms. Followed by a sharp noise of brakes screeching, the truck driver stuck his head out of the window and yelled, “Are you blind?!” Olivia looked over to finally realize who saved her and she widened her eyes in disbelief. “It’s you?”She was not injured but unfortunately, the one who saved her scratched her right arm and it was bleeding. “Oh dear, you are bleeding, let’s go to the hospital.”That person stopped her. “It’s fine Ms. Larson. I’m a nurse myself and I have the medical supplies to treat my wounds.”“No, but…”Before Olivia finished speaking, the other person had already wrapped her wound with the handkerchief she took out from her bag.“I’m fine, really.”Olivia quickly helped her up and pointed at her car. “Get in, I’ll send you home.”This time, Zyla did not refuse and went into the passenger seat. Before getting into the car, O
The two went upstairs right after they reached Golden Hills Apartment. The house was quite spacious and it was a duplex apartment.“Sis Liv, this apartment is an incentive provided by Mr. Quinton, looks good right?”Olivia nodded. “Indeed, where’s the first aid kit?”Zyla pointed at the cabinet. “The second drawer.”“Alright, take a seat, I'll go get it.”Zyla sat on the sofa obediently and immediately smiled upon seeing Olivia bringing the first aid kit over as if she was in a very good mood. Olivia felt a little strange. “Why are you so happy? You are bleeding.”“I guess it’s because you are too beautiful, Sis Liv.”Olivia was amused. She took off the handkerchief from her arm and then took the bottle of iodine. “What a sweet talker, I shall treat you with some iodine then.”“Sis Liv, please be gentle…ouch…it hurts…”“Thought you didn’t know.”Although Olivia did not study medicine, her hands were notoriously deft, if not, Dorothy would not have been so jealous to the e
Zyla could see through what Olivia was thinking. “Sis Liv, I’ll go with you.”Olivia wanted to depart immediately but when she took a look outside, she noticed the sky was turning dark and it would take at least 2 hours to reach West York Village.Just as she was hesitating, Zyla said, “Sis Liv, it’s late already, let’s go tomorrow. If he’s gone, he will already be gone by now, there won’t be much difference.”Olivia knew that she was right, so she nodded. “Alright, I’ll go home then.”Although she said that she was going home, she still felt anxious about it.‘What for?‘To witness the two lovebirds?‘Or to get into a brawl with Dorothy?’No matter which option she opted for, she was tired of dealing with it, plus she was afraid that John might stop her from going out. Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. It was a call from John.Her heart shivered. Just as she wanted to pick it up, Zyla snatched her phone away and hung it up directly.“Sis Liv, stay with me tonight a
“Alright.”John’s tone was rather stiff, which made Dorothy anxious.“Okay Johnny, don’t forget to eat, I shall not disturb you anymore.”Hearing that, John felt that he might have been too fierce earlier and he spoke gentler, “Okay, I am sorry if I sounded harsh earlier, rest well.”That being said, he ended the call.Although he sounded kind, he was still irritated when hearing her voice.He used to like Olivia being coquettish because her voice was tender and sweet, just like a gummy candy. Yet, Dorothy’s way of being coquettish was different, it sounded strange and stiff which annoyed him in the back of his mind.Then again, she saved his life so he would always assume that he was just overthinking. At this time in Golden Hills Apartment…The two finished dinner and continued watching TV while enjoying their fruit juice peacefully.Suddenly, Zyla remembered something and looked at Olivia in shock. “Sis Liv, you’re supposed to go back to the hospital for a maternity che
Olivia walked out of the consultation room in a daze while clenching the results in her hands and her mind was all over whatever the doctor mentioned. ‘Only one kidney, I only have one kidney…’Even if she had an idea in her mind, she dared not continue to imagine.Zyla waited for her in the corridor and upon seeing her lost expression, she quickly went up to her. “Sis Liv, what’s wrong? Is it the baby? Or did your cancer get worse?”Olivia was taken aback and she shook her head. “No… Nothing.”“Sis Liv, you do not look okay at all. If there’s anything, we can settle your illness first then have another baby.”Compared to the baby, Zyla was more concerned about Olivia’s health.She had witnessed Olivia being heavily injured in the hospital bed and she could never imagine how she would be able to have kids. Olivia pursed her lips and forced a smile. “I am fine, really.”She showed the examination results to Zyla. “Look, the baby is healthy, so is my body.” ‘Just that I have o
As she was speaking, the lady lowered her tone and went nearer to the two, “His money was probably illegal, that’s why he escaped.”Olivia and Zyla exchanged gazes and looked at the lady. “Ma’am, do you know which old folks' home his mother went to?”The lady scratched her head and murmured, “Which one was it again… I somewhat heard the word mountain but not the rest. He didn’t tell anyone as well, I just happened to pass by when he was on a call.”“Thank you, ma'am.”“You’re welcome but I am afraid you might not be able to get your money back. How much did he owe you?”“Ten thousand.”“Oh dear, that will be difficult.”Olivia pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. “Guess we don’t have a choice then, thank you ma’am.”“Well, I’ll take my leave.”After the lady left, the two went back into the car. Now that Ben was nowhere to be found, all leads were lost. Even if there were surveillance cameras, those would not be enough to prove the connection to Dorothy and she might even fr
Zyla was driving at a normal speed. The two had a lot of fun chatting, and the atmosphere inside the car was pretty harmonious.Suddenly, a Maybach overtook them. Then, it turned left and blocked their car, scaring Zyla into slamming on the brakes.“Sis Liv, are you okay?”“I’m fine.”Olivia lifted her head to see John storming toward her aggressively. She immediately became so scared that she started shaking.Even though she had firmly hung up his call, her heart still softened every time she saw this man. At the same time, he also always struck fear in her. John knocked on the car door and coldly said, “Get out!”Zyla finally noticed who it was. She turned to look at Olivia. “Sis Liv, what should we do? Should I just crash our way through him?”Olivia was stunned and looked at Zyla in astonishment.‘This girl usually looks so gentle. I didn't expect her to be so hot-headed during conflict.’ She might have been the first person to ever suggest knocking John with a car to g
