Chapter 28 John stopped in his tracks, glanced at Olivia, and said, â Stop pretending, Olivia, you would never die.â
She would never die...
Did he not remember that she just came out of the operating theater less than 24 hours ago?
How dare he still declare that she would never die?
Olivia scoffed. âWanna bet, Johnny? Wanna bet if Iâd die or not?â
Johnâs heart shook. It hurt a little.
He frowned and said, âOkay, Iâll bet with you.â
Olivia smiled.
âJohnny, youâve lost your bet,â she thought.
John pushed the door open and Dorothy Ellis was lying on a bed inside.
The nurse was preparing the tools needed for blood transfusion, and when she lifted up her head, she saw John entering with Olivia in his arms.
The nurse remembered Olivia. She had also participated in the surgery to save Oliviaâs life last night.
âTake her blood.â
âAre you sure, sir? This lady had just survived an emergency operation, and itâs only natural for blood loss â}
Before the nurse could finish, John glared at her coldly. â You talk too much.â
People who had been in high places of authority for a long time usually had a fierce aura, and with just one look from John, the nurse was terrified. She had no choice but to nod her head and say, âPlease put Ms. Larson here.â
She saw Olivia and her heart trembled as she noticed that Olivia was pale, her lips were turning purple, the dressing on her arms was bleeding and her hands were cold.
What kind of hate it must have been for someone to torture a severely weak woman like that?
She did not dare to ask. She could only lower her head as she punctured Oliviaâs remaining good arm, with a needle and said softly, âPlease bear with me, Ms. Larson.â
Olivia had no expression on her face when she nodded. â Itâs fine, just take whatever amount thatâs needed.â
Alas, before much blood was taken, Olivia passed out.
The nurse looked worriedly at John. âSir, Ms. Larson has fainted, should we stop...â
âGo on! Sheâs not dead,â he replied coldly.
âThis woman is indeed the queen of nuisances! Sheâs ))
been crazy countless times and pretended to be dead countless times as well. All sheâs doing now is pretending to pass out, so whatâs the big deal?
âIf she wasnât this good, how did she manage to seduce all those men? Hah, sheâs also pretty good at it. I didnât even manage to find the man from two years ago,â John thought.
After the blood transfusion, the nurse wanted to put Olivia in a wheelchair and wheel her back to her ward, but John stopped her.
He stooped down and carried her up from the chair so gently it was like he was carrying a fragile clay doll. The nurse was puzzled.
The one that had waited the entire day at Oliviaâs ward was him, the one torturing Olivia was him as well.
The nurse shook her head helplessly and lamented in her. heart, âThis is probably what love is in rich and powerful families.â
John brought Olivia back to her ward and left immediately. Then, he went to Dorothyâs ward.
âHow did she lose blood?â
Dorothy was alone at home with Wes Coulson at her beck and call, how did she end up like this?
Wes shook his head, distressed, and said, âSir, I donât know. Ms. Ellis got me to buy her meatballs, so I did.
When I returned, she didnât go out of her room. She merely opened the door to take the meatballs. Later, the doctor came to change her dressings, so I brought the doctor up and I opened the door to see her fainted on the bed.â
John frowned. Compared to Olivia, Dorothy was almost like she was made of glass. One touch and she would shatter into pieces.
âOkay. Letâs go back to the office.â
âYes, sir.â
Before John could take another step, a nurse came out and said, âSir, Ms. Ellis is awake and she wants to see you.â
So, John turned back.
Once he opened the door, he saw Dorothy in tears as she cried, âJohnny, I was so afraid that I wouldnât be able to see you again.â
