FreeNovelChapter 535
About an hour later, Olivia opened the door and ran out. “Doctor, the patient is awake!”
After she shouted, Olivia saw Fred at the door and lost her voice. Embarrassedly, she bit her lips.
“Didn’t… you go back?”
Fred took her back to the ward and made her sit on the sofa. “Liv, sit here. I’ll call the doctor.”
Then, he turned and walked quickly out.
Soon, he came back with the doctors and nurses.
A group of people checked Xavier, who was in bed, and told them, “The patient is no longer in danger
and just needs a good rest.”
Then, the doctor looked at Olivia. “Ms. James, it’s the same for you. You need to rest.”
Olivia nodded. “Thank you, doctor.”
After the doctor had gone, Fred glanced in the direction of the bed and said, “You stay here. I’ll get you
something to eat.”
“Okay.”
Olivia got up, looked at Xavier, who had just woken up, and said apologetically, “Xavier, all this… Thank
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou very much. I owe you.”
Xavier smiled and said, “Pheebs, it was all worth it just because you said that.”
Olivia was startled and felt helpless.
He was still honey-tongued even when he was injured.
“Shall we lift your bed?”
“Yes, please.”
However, when they lifted the bed, they still said nothing.
There was not much to say between them, especially at a time like this.
“That…”
“You…”
They both spoke at the same time, and they stopped when they heard each other speak.
“After you.”
“After you.”
Olivia hung her head awkwardly, clutching her dress tightly. She did not know what to say.
“Pheebs, you have changed.”
With a smile, Xavier quipped. “You wouldn’t have been so polite before.”
“What were you trying to say?”
“Oh, I meant to ask, has Jenson been caught? You must ensure they sentence him quickly and not let
him threaten your life again.”
Olivia shook her head. “No, the police said he was found dead.”
“Dead?”
Xavier froze. “Then it’s impossible to ask who is behind this. Are you still in danger?”
“It doesn’t matter. If there’s someone behind this, he will do something again.”
“Yes, but it’s dangerous for you.”
Olivia pursed her lips and said nothing.
It would not make any difference if it was John or if she knew it was him. He would still seek
revenge.
Even if it was not him, she had to do something.
The only solution was to run.
However, even if she had to escape, she had to wait for Xavier to be discharged from the hospital.
After all, she could not just walk away because of her injuries.
Xavier lifted Olivia’s chin with his finger when he noticed she was not speaking. Then, he smiled and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmasked, “Pheebs, does you not speaking mean you want to repay me by dating me?”
Shocked, Olivia dodged the question. “You are in a ward. Why are you still so bold?”
“When I fainted, I thought I heard someone say that she wouldn’t say I was a playboy or frivolous
anymore.”
As he spoke, he looked at Olivia meaningfully with his narrow eyes, making her blush.
She had not expected him to be so severely wounded yet still annoying.
Fortunately, after a while, Fred returned and broke the awkward silence.
After the three of them ate, Fred helped Olivia and said, “Sis, it’s time to leave. The doctor discharged
you and said you can go back tonight.”
Xavier pointed at himself. “What about me?”
“You? You can stay alone. It’s not dangerous. If you need someone to look after you, I can get you a
nurse, but don’t think about asking my sister to stay back here for you.”
They both looked at Olivia, waiting for her decision.
She looked at the two of them. “Yes, we can get you a nurse. I can’t stay with you tonight, but I can
come and visit you tomorrow.”
Although he was her lifesaver, it was inappropriate for her to take care of a man, after all. She did. not
