Chapter 276 The call went through soon after Ken dialed the number, and Johnâs deep voice came through the phone. âYes?â
Dorothy froze. She remained silent and observed Ken in horror.
However, Ken chuckled and said, âI visited Mrs. Freeman. Sheâs recovering well. Iâm just calling to tell you so you wonât worry.â
âOkay.â
Suddenly, Ken sneered. âBut I happened to meet Ms. Ellis on the way...â
Before he could finish his words, Dorothy snatched the phone and hung up the call. Her face was pale. âWhatâs... your relationship with Johnny?â
Only a few people she knew could talk to John like that.
Olivia was too annoyed to even look at Dorothy. She wanted to end this pointless conversation, so she tugged Kenâs arm and asked, âIs Zyla awake since you came looking for me?â
âYes,â Ken nodded.
âOkay. Take me to her.â
With that, she dragged Ken off and walked away.
Reluctant to give up, Dorothy gritted her teeth and grabbed Oliviaâs hand. âI wonât go back to prison. You did not win.â
Olivia shoved off Dorothyâs grip and sneered. âDorothy, itâs not up to you.â
On the way to visit Zyla, Ken suddenly asked, âMrs. Freeman, I believe thereâs something else going on between that woman and John. He wouldnât have any interest in a woman like her.â
Ken himself would not be interested in a woman like Dorothy even if she seduced him, let alone John.
There must be something else going on.
Olivia recalled some foggy memories from the past, and she still could feel the pain. However, she answered calmly. âThatâs his business, and it has nothing to do with me.â
Her grudge against Dorothy was only partially because of John. She would make Dorothy pay for everything she had done to her.
When she pushed Zylaâs ward door open, she saw her frowning and drinking her porridge.
Happiness surged through Olivia, and she dashed over to hug Zyla. âZyla, youâre finally awake. You scared me.â
âSis Liv, Iâm fine.â
Zyla had a casual smile on as if nothing had happened.
Olivia felt more guilty upon seeing Zyla so calm. She sobbed as she touched her face. âZy, promise me never to act so impulsively again. Nothing should ever happen to you.â
âSis Liv.â
Zyla smiled and lifted her hand to wipe off her tears. âI promised to protect you and bring you happiness. I have to do what I promised.â
Ken stood by and watched, feeling gratified.
âMs. Jones, is there anything you would like to eat? I can ask the kitchen to prepare it for you.â
Zylaâs smile instantly disappeared upon hearing Kenâs voice. âDr. Lucas, thank you for saving my life, but you and I can never be friends if you decide to stay on that b*
stardâs side.â
Ken felt wronged and looked at Olivia with grief. âMrs. Freeman, Iâm not helping. John. Iâm a doctor, and my job is to save lives, not kill people.â
âHeh. It sounds great, but thatâs not whatâs on your mind.â
âAlright.â Olivia comforted Zyla. âZy, Ken and John are best friends, but we canât judge his personality just on that.â
Then, she turned around and asked Ken, âCan you ask the kitchen to make something good for healing wounds? I hope Zy can get better soon.â
Ken repeatedly nodded. âNo problem. Iâll arrange for that.â
After he left, Zyla pouted her lips and said, âSis Liv, donât believe him. What if heâs Johnâs spy? Who knows if Jerk John will bail Dorothy out?â
âHe has already bailed her out.â
âWhat?â
Olivia could not accept it too. âOn the day of your accident, Dorothy committed suicide, so...â
John rescued her.
âWhat?â Zyla was angry. Her eyes widened in shock as she cursed. âJerk John! That son of a b*tch! I...â
Before she could continue, Zyla lifted her head and saw the person at the door. She frowned. âWhy are you here?â
