Chapter 463 In an instant, a security guard came running out and had the man who threw the bottle pressed firmly on the ground. After removing his cap and mask, Olivia realized that the attacker was not Jenson Luke.
Olivia was a little stunned. âWhereâs Jenson Luke?â
The attacker spat at her. âPah! You evil wench! I have nothing to say to you! I was the one that threw the brick on you just now. I just want to kill you, you evil wench!â
She did not know this man, but she was sure that he was Jensonâs accomplice.
When one of the guards asked her, âMs. James, should we call the cops?â
âYes, inform them, and please send him to the police station.â
âOkay.â
Then, the security guard yanked the screaming and thrashing attacker up from the ground and dragged him into the car.
Oliviaâs head was aching. She did not expect Jenson Luke to be such a nuisance.
If things were to continue as they were, as long as she did not have Jenson arrested, she and everyone around her would have no peace.
After that situation, she was a little worried for Lyla and was about to leave.
Olivia was halfway up when she remembered her savior, and when she lowered her head, she was met with Johnâs handsome face.
Him again?
Olivia stared intently at John, but she could not understand the emotions in his eyes.
However, the man in her arms was sweating profusely, and even though he was trying to hold it in, his lips were extremely pale, and he was clearly in discomfort.
Oliviaâs heart shuddered. Did the bottle hit him just now?
The bottle could not be so powerful, right?
Before she could speak, Olivia noticed that her heels were bubbling and melting after coming into contact with some of the liquid.
Was that... sulfuric acid?
She was flabbergasted. Her eyes widened as she stared at John. âAre you hurt? Is it serious?â
He pointed at his right leg and said, âItâs not serious, but please help me up.â
If his leg was not injured, he would not be lying unmovingly on the ground.
Olivia looked immediately to see blood oozing out of his pants, which were stuck to his flesh, and her heart dropped.
Frowning, she tried to wipe the acid away from the wound with her handkerchief, but since the flesh of Johnâs leg was injured, she did not dare to do anything more to it.
The only thing she could do was sling Johnâs arm over her shoulder and say, âHold onto me, Iâll help you up and get you to the hospital.â
âOkay.â
John looked down to see that Oliviaâs face was tainted with worry for him, and he smiled silently. The melancholy in his heart seemed to have dispersed a little.
Was she worried for him?
Olivia did not care to fuss over him as she got him into her car and drove off immediately.
Neither spoke for the entire journey.
Olivia was a little anxious, while John looked at her quietly like he was not the one who was injured.
When they arrived at the hospital, she stopped her car, helped him get out of the car, and asked, âAre you still okay? Itâs just that one part, right?â
John nodded. âYeah.â
Once they entered the hospital lobby, Olivia grabbed a passing nurse and said, âPlease help him! His leg was burned by acid.
Please help him now!â
The nurse was stunned for a while before she yelled for help to put John on a bed. After checking and seeing that it was just that one part of his leg that was hurt, the nurse heaved a sigh of relief.
âYouâre too nervous, miss. This isnât that bad. Itâll be over soon once itâs been dealt with.â
âItâs bleeding, and the flesh seems like itâs dissolved, so how can you say that this isnât severe? What if thereâs a scar...â
Olivia did not know what had gotten into her as words like that came spewing out of her mouth. Before she realized it, the words had already been said.
She covered her mouth quickly, embarrassed, and looked awkwardly at the nurse. âIâm sorry. Iâm sorry...â
The nurse did not think much of it. She was merely flabbergasted by Oliviaâs reaction. The only response she could muster was to nod stoically at Olivia while saying, âItâs going to be okay, miss.â
The man on the bed, however, let out a light chuckle. âI didnât expect Ms. James to care so much for me.â
Olivia glared at the man on the bed. âYou think too much. Iâm just afraid of blood.â
Then, she lowered her head to look at Johnâs leg. âLooks like itâs not that bad. Iâll make a move now.â
Just as she had turned around and was about to leave, John grabbed her hand and said, â Ms. James, Iâve saved you twice today, havenât I? Please donât be so cruel.â
