Chapter 278 Mrs. Jameson knew her efforts were pointless, so she quickly apologized before leaving.
After she left, Olivia looked out of the window and sighed.
There were two things she regretted most in her life.
One was bringing Dorothy back to the Larson family, and the other was marrying John.
If she did not marry John, he might still be the sunshine in her life, and he would be her deepest secret. It would be better than being wounded and feeling hurt now.
Nothing much happened for a few days after that.
Ken was responsible for Olivia and Zylaâs meals. It saved them from plenty of trouble. Olivia accompanied Zyla in her room most of the time, chatting with each other.
One afternoon, while they were chatting, Olivia received a call from Zac.
âLiv, my friend who majors in cancer research is coming to Ocean city next week. He will do a full body check-up on you and see what we can do about your illness.â
Olivia was startled for a moment. She felt a little uneasy and said nothing.
Zac did not know what had happened. Worried, he quickly asked, âOlivia? Whatâs the matter?â
âN-nothing,â Olivia paused. âZac, can I refuse your offer?â
âWhy?â
âI-Iâm afraid.â
She would not know what to do if it did not work out.
âLiv, weâll only be able to cure you if we learn more about your condition. Itâs pointless if you continue to cheat yourself like this.â
Clutching the phone, Olivia bit her lips. âI-I know, but...â
âNo âbutâs! Olivia, Iâll make sure you do this test. You have no choice but to accept.
this.â
Zac was serious about this, leaving Olivia unable to reject it.
âOkay, I get it. I wonât run away.â
Zac heaved a sigh of relief. âLiv, rest assured. The situation will get better.â
Olivia knew she would die, but she was afraid she would die too soon. After all, had not completed many things yet.
However, she did not want Zac to know how she felt, so she quickly changed the topic. âBy the way, what about Jorge? You didnât kill him, did you?â
she âNo, but heâs been crippled, so donât worry. The Winston family will not dare to look for trouble again.â
âCrippled?â Olivia felt nervous. âI-I only cut off his finger.â
At the time, she was calm, but afterward, she broke out into a cold sweat.
She used to be too afraid to kill a fish, let alone chop off a manâs fingers....
Zac could imagine Oliviaâs hesitating expression, and he chuckled. âRest assured, itâs not because of what you did.â
âOh, thatâs great.â
After hanging up the call, she heard Zyla scoff. âHeh, the Winston family is weak, yet they still want to seek revenge.â
Then, she handed the phone to Olivia. âJorge wonât seek revenge anymore. Heâs now like a mummy lying on the hospital bed. It will take him at least a year and a half to recover.â
Olivia looked at it with a sigh of relief.
Jorge was badly wounded. The finger he lost was only something minor compared to everything else.
Suddenly, a man opened the door and walked in, carrying a fruit basket.
As soon as he entered, he bowed at a ninety-degree angle to both of the girls.
Zyla was startled and looked at him in bewilderment. âErm... Did you enter the wrong room?â
The man shook his head. âIâve come to thank Ms. Larson.â
Olivia looked at him. She thought he looked familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen him before.
âWho are you?â
The man put the fruit basket aside and explained, âMs. Larson, my name is Fred Jameson. Iâm the one who took you as my hostage a while back.â
