Chapter 501 Olivia was lying on the bed, feeling completely limp and weak. She also felt dizzy and so unwell that she was delirious.
Just then, Zac called and said he wanted to see her.
âItâs late. I want to sleep. Can I call you back tomorrow?â
It was not actually very late at the time, but since John had all the curtains closed, the room was so dark that it looked like it was night.
Zac, who was on the other end of the phone, looked at the time suspiciously and asked, âWhy didnât you tell me about Jenson and the earthquake?â
Olivia was taken aback. âHow did he find out?â
âFred told you?â
âDonât blame him. I forced him to tell me.â
She rubbed her temples with pain. âIâm really tired now. Can you let me sleep?â
âAre you really okay? Did you have a relapse? If...â
âNo, Iâm fine.â
He knew from her tone that something must be wrong, but he also knew Oliviaâs character, so he finally compromised.
âOkay, I see. Have a good rest. Go to sleep now.â
âOkay, when I...
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly spotted a figure at the door. She panicked and hung up the phone before she could end her sentence.
âWho are you? Whoâs standing there?â
âItâs me.â
John came over and put his hand on her forehead.
She was about to question him, but she heard him say softly, âSorry for making you look at me again.â
Upon hearing this, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
She was not used to this John who knew how to apologize.
Now, she was worried about how much John might have heard just now. If he knew that it was Zac who just called, she would be in trouble.
Fortunately, he kept silent. He just turned on the small nightlight, took a thermometer, and came over to take her temperature.
He did not know if it was because her body was limp or because she was a little dazed due to her fever, but Olivia was unusually well-behaved. She did not resist or refute.
After measuring it, John breathed a sigh of relief. âFortunately, the fever has subsided. You should sleep a little longer. Iâll make porridge for you.â
It was originally agreed upon that they would not owe each other anything. If he did that, would she not owe him another favor?
No. Absolutely not!
âNo. Iâll take a taxi back to the hotel.â
As she spoke, she got up from the bed, but her feet were limp. The moment they touched the ground, her knees buckled, and she fell backward.
She fell on the bed. The bed was soft, but she felt as if the flesh all over her body was falling off, making her extremely uncomfortable.
John came over and helped her back into bed.
âMs. James, donât worry. I wonât do anything to you. Itâs still raining outside, so you will get even more sick if you go out.â
With that said, John poured another glass of water and brought it to her lips. âCome on. Drink some water.â
Olivia leaned weakly against the headrest and looked at him with puzzled eyes. She bit her chapped lips and reached for the glass of water. âIâll do it myself.â
John did not force it. He let go of the glass and only held the bottom of it with his hand. He said softly, âOkay, drink slowly.â
After Olivia finished her water, she broke out in a cold sweat again. Therefore, John hurriedly took.
a towel to help her wipe down.
At this time, she realized that her clothes had been changed.
âDonât get any closer.â
She hugged her chest and stared at John with wide eyes. âWho helped me change my clothes?â
When he saw how vigilant she was, John felt a weight on his chest. He chuckled lightly and replied, âI asked the female doctor to help change you while she gave you the injection, of course. Are you saying you want me to help you instead?â
She looked at him dubiously. âReally?â
He stood up and handed her another dry towel. âYou had a high fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit, and you had no strength at all.
I wouldnât have been able to help you change with just one hand. Come and switch out the towel on your back to avoid another fever.â
After that, he turned around and left the room. Then, he hid in a dark corner, clutching his ribs in pain.
