Chapter 490 John gazed darkly at her, still quiet.
Unfazed by his reaction, Olivia continued saying, âHas it ever occurred to you that even if your wife is still alive, she might not want to see you?
âYou said you hurt her so much that she never forgave you until she died.â
She looked at him coldly and asked, âWhat makes you think sheâll forgive you if she comes back from the dead?â
As soon as she finished, she felt Johnâs body tremble, and his expression stiffened slightly.
Somehow, seeing him like this gave her some comfort.
âItâs impossible to pretend that nothing has happened when you canât recover from the pain you have experienced and the damage you have suffered.
âIf she were still alive, she would try her best to avoid you and never see you again. Because it is the only way to start over again.â
With that said, she pressed her lips together and sneered. âEven if you loved her deeply, she would never come near you again if you had hurt and disappointed her enough.
âBecause no one wants to repeat the same mistake.â
John shuddered as he stiffened, feeling a pang of pain in his heart.
âIs that why she pretended she didnât know me?
âSo she wonât make the same mistakes?â
He narrowed his long, narrow eyes and suddenly pulled her into his arms, coldly saying, â What makes you think that? Do you know her well?â
Startled, Olivia pushed him frantically. âI donât know her, but I know disappointment and despair.â
âWhy?â
Instead of letting go, John grabbed harder.
Olivia did not expect him to be so strong when he was already badly injured.
âLet go!â
âWhy? Answer me!â
Olivia looked up at him, momentarily dazed.
The cold tone and insidious eyes made her feel like she was transported back to four years ago.
She gulped in fear and even stopped struggling.
She dared not move, afraid that Johnâs hand would land on her face the next second.
It was unknown if John noticed her sudden silence and awkwardness. His expression froze, and he let go of her hand.
âIâm sorry.â
Without the restraints, Olivia lost her center of gravity and nearly stumbled. John reached out to help her, but she dodged him.
She trembled and caught onto the windowsill behind her.
After a few seconds, she did not look up at him. Fighting her fear, she said, âMr. Freeman, Iâll see you when youâve calmed down.
I gotta go first.â
With that said, she bypassed him, pushed the door open, and hurried away.
Looking at her back, John felt a tightness in his chest and also felt dizzy. He staggered and leaned on the glass with his left hand, gasping for breath.
However, it was an old problem, and he was already used to it.
However, she...
On the other hand, Olivia dared not stop after storming out of the ward.
In her panic, she seemed to bump into someone, but she did not have time to explain. She ran out, hailed a taxi, and got in.
She was afraid.
She was afraid of the angry John. She was afraid of returning to the past and being the caged bird without freedom again.
The taxi driver could not help but frown when he saw her pale face and shivering. âMiss, donât run from treatment. You should treat your illness in time. Itâs pointless to run away.â
Olivia did not catch what he said. She only heard the last sentence-âItâs pointless to run away.â
âI canât run?
âAm I supposed to tell John that Iâm Olivia?
âIs there any other choice besides running?â
Something in her head told her there was another way....
Shaking her head, she said tearfully, âNo. No!â
