Chapter 460 âYou left in a hurry during the day, and you didnât answer the phone just now. So I decided to check up on you because I was afraid something had happened.â
After a pause, John continued. âHowever, it looks like everythingâs alright, so Iâm relieved.â
Olivia had mixed feelings after hearing that.
âIs he so gentle and caring towards strangers?
âBack then...â
âMs. James?â
Johnâs voice brought her back from her memories. She was slightly taken aback. Was she splitting hairs with John for not being gentle enough to her before?
Immediately, she shook her head to try to rid those thoughts from her mind.
âMr. Freeman, youâre overthinking. What could have happened to me?â Olivia said coldly.â Itâs getting late. Iâm hanging up.â
âWait.â
Olivia originally wanted to hang up, but when she heard his voice, she asked curiously,â What is it?â
âI know you have a lot of misunderstandings about me, Ms. James, but I sincerely want to customize the ring. I hope...â
Before John could finish speaking, Olivia interrupted directly, âYou may be sincere, but I also have the right to refuse, donât I?â
After she said that, she hung up the phone. Then, she leaned against the head of the bed and closed her eyes to adjust her disordered breathing.
For the first time in so many years, she felt like this man was a bit annoying.
The more she wanted to escape, the more he chased her, leaving her breathless.
At this moment, the phone rang again, and she hung up without thinking.
However, the other party did not get tired and called two more times in a row, which annoyed Olivia a lot. She picked up the phone and cursed. âWhat else is there? Are you not going to let me sleep in the middle of the night? I told you, Iâm not accepting your business! How many times do I have to tell you?â
Maybe her cries scared the other party, so the person on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before asking, âPheebs, do you hate me so much?â
Olivia instinctively wanted to say yes, but she felt there was something different with the voice, so she quickly opened her eyes and glanced at the caller ID. She froze instantly.
âM-Mr. Hemsworth, sorry. I thought...â
âWho did you think I was?â
âItâs nothing. I thought it was a scam call. Anyway... Sorry.â
Upon hearing Oliviaâs embarrassed apology, Xavier chuckled. âItâs me who should apologize. There was an urgent matter in the hospital today, so I left without having the time to tell you. Iâm really sorry.â
Although she did not like Xavier, if it was not for him today, she might not have found Lyla, so her mood eased a lot.
âThank you for everything you did today. If it wasnât for you, I might not have found Lyla so quickly.â
âYouâre welcome. Lylaâs kidnapping was a big deal. Even strangers would have lent a helping hand, and weâre friends, so how could I sit by idly?â
âFriends...â
Olivia smiled wryly. âBeing friends with me wonât end well.â
âI do not mind.â
Olivia did not want to continue this topic, so she said, âIf you donât mind, I can treat you to dinner another day to thank you. What do you think?â
âOkay, no problem. It would be an honor.â
âOkay, Iâm hanging up now.â
After hanging up the phone, Olivia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she remembered that Jenson had not been caught yet, her heart suddenly leaped into her throat.
However, Lyla has Fredâs protection, so she should be fine.
That night, she did not sleep well, and in a daze, she still dreamed of when she stabbed John with the knife four years ago.
Then, she dreamed that John was strangling her neck while pushing her against the wall. He was staring at her with red eyes saying, âOlivia, die!â
After he said that, he plunged the knife into her chest.
Olivia was startled and sat up directly from the bed.
Seeing that her chest was still intact, she realized that it was just a dream. However, was it really just a dream?
