Chapter 535 About an hour later, Olivia opened the door and ran out. âDoctor, the patient is awake!â
After she shouted, Olivia saw Fred at the door and lost her voice. Embarrassedly, she bit her lips.
âDidnât... you go back?â
Fred took her back to the ward and made her sit on the sofa. âLiv, sit here. Iâll call the doctor.â
Then, he turned and walked quickly out.
Soon, he came back with the doctors and nurses.
A group of people checked Xavier, who was in bed, and told them, âThe patient is no longer in danger and just needs a good rest.â
Then, the doctor looked at Olivia. âMs. James, itâs the same for you. You need to rest.â
Olivia nodded. âThank you, doctor.â
After the doctor had gone, Fred glanced in the direction of the bed and said, âYou stay here. Iâll get you something to eat.â
âOkay.â
Olivia got up, looked at Xavier, who had just woken up, and said apologetically, âXavier, all this... Thank you very much. I owe you.â
Xavier smiled and said, âPheebs, it was all worth it just because you said that.â
Olivia was startled and felt helpless.
He was still honey-tongued even when he was injured.
âShall we lift your bed?â
âYes, please.â
However, when they lifted the bed, they still said nothing.
There was not much to say between them, especially at a time like this.
âThat...â
âYou...â
They both spoke at the same time, and they stopped when they heard each other speak.
âAfter you.â
âAfter you.â
Olivia hung her head awkwardly, clutching her dress tightly. She did not know what to say.
âPheebs, you have changed.â
With a smile, Xavier quipped. âYou wouldnât have been so polite before.â
âWhat were you trying to say?â
âOh, I meant to ask, has Jenson been caught? You must ensure they sentence him quickly and not let him threaten your life again.â
Olivia shook her head. âNo, the police said he was found dead.â
âDead?â
Xavier froze. âThen itâs impossible to ask who is behind this. Are you still in danger?â
âIt doesnât matter. If thereâs someone behind this, he will do something again.â
âYes, but itâs dangerous for you.â
Olivia pursed her lips and said nothing.
It would not make any difference if it was John or if she knew it was him. He would still seek revenge.
Even if it was not him, she had to do something.
The only solution was to run.
However, even if she had to escape, she had to wait for Xavier to be discharged from the hospital.
After all, she could not just walk away because of her injuries.
Xavier lifted Oliviaâs chin with his finger when he noticed she was not speaking. Then, he smiled and asked, âPheebs, does you not speaking mean you want to repay me by dating me?â
Shocked, Olivia dodged the question. âYou are in a ward. Why are you still so bold?â
âWhen I fainted, I thought I heard someone say that she wouldnât say I was a playboy or frivolous anymore.â
As he spoke, he looked at Olivia meaningfully with his narrow eyes, making her blush.
She had not expected him to be so severely wounded yet still annoying.
Fortunately, after a while, Fred returned and broke the awkward silence.
After the three of them ate, Fred helped Olivia and said, âSis, itâs time to leave. The doctor discharged you and said you can go back tonight.â
Xavier pointed at himself. âWhat about me?â
âYou? You can stay alone. Itâs not dangerous. If you need someone to look after you, I can get you a nurse, but donât think about asking my sister to stay back here for you.â
They both looked at Olivia, waiting for her decision.
She looked at the two of them. âYes, we can get you a nurse. I canât stay with you tonight, but I can come and visit you tomorrow.â
Although he was her lifesaver, it was inappropriate for her to take care of a man, after all. She did. not want to make him misunderstand her feelings for hirh.
