“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
“Johnny, why won’t you believe me? The driver was a woman. Couldn’t you see it?” John knew the driver was a woman, but he refused to believe it.Olivia stayed over at Zac’s apartment last night, so it was impossible that nothing happened between them. Impossible!“Olivia, I won’t allow you to leave me!”After he said that, John leaned over her and kissed her. He was rough and brutal.His lips soon landed on Olivia’s fair neck. Then, he opened his mouth and bit her, leaving a red mark behind. “Olivia, remember that you’re my woman. Even if I don’t want you or I don’t want to play with you anymore, you aren’t allowed to even think about finding someone else!”His obsession and possessiveness forbade others from touching Olivia. He would not allow even the idea of her cheating to exist in this world. Olivia was in pain. She looked at John in disbelief and with tears in her eyes. She sobbed. “Johnny, you’ve changed. You’re so unreasonable now!“You don’t believe anything I say,
John put Olivia down on the bed in the room upstairs and said coldly, “I’ll stay here tonight.”She opened her eyes to look at John. Suddenly, she felt amused and turned her back toward him.‘Stay here with me?’He sounded like he was doing charity for her. She had not begged him to stay, either. He could go to Dorothy if he wished.“What kind of attitude is this? I know you can’t bear to be by yourself and you want someone with you all the time, so I promised to stay here. What else do you want?”After Olivia heard that, she bit her lip and grabbed a pillow to throw at John.“Johnny, what are you saying? I can’t bear to be by myself? Who’s the one that can’t bear to be by themself?“I was hospitalized because of my miscarriage. When I was discharged, I saw you and Dorothy together. Who’s the one that can’t bear to be by themselves?”Olivia screamed that last sentence.Ever since birth, she had been poised and dignified. When had she ever been so hysterical before?This man w
John wanted to lose his temper. However, when he saw the soup on the floor and Dorothy’s injury on her hand, he swallowed what he wanted to say.“Get up. I’ll get someone to clean this up.”“But the soup…”“Leave it. I’ll ask the caretaker to dress your wound. Go rest. You don’t have to worry about it.”“Johnny, what about Liv? Are you going to stay with her?”John was a little annoyed. This woman was so demanding.“Dolly, just go back to your room.”John sounded sterner than usual. Dorothy knew he was mad, so she did not dare to say anything more before walking away aggrievedly.“Ouch, my foot…”When John saw Dorothy twist her ankle, he frowned in disgust. “Where is the caretaker?”At that moment, the caretaker came out of their room and helped Dorothy up. Then, they apologized to John, “I’m sorry, Mr. Freeman. I was cleaning the room. Miss Ellis asked me to…”“Johnny, you should go back to what you were doing. I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”After that, she g
Dorothy was stunned and felt a little uneasy. She looked closely at Olivia, terrified that she had discovered something suspicious.“Why should I tell you?”Olivia only peered at her faintly and scoffed. “I just wonder how an evil and selfish person like you was drawn to donating your kidney. I find it hard to believe.”After she said that, Olivia walked around Dorothy to go to the kitchen to get some milk.When Dorothy saw this, she was sure that Olivia had no idea what was happening. Hence, she quickly walked over to stop her. She smirked coldly and asked, “Why? Are you jealous?”“Jealous? You’re just a mistress, so why should I be jealous? Should I be jealous that you’re a thankless wretch? Get out of my way.”Dorothy gritted her teeth and said, “Olivia, don’t think I don’t know. Were you sleeping with Zac two nights ago? Do you think Johnny will let you off the hook? Quit dreaming!“Also, listen up. I will take away everything that belongs to you, and if I can’t take it, I’l
