Chapter 538 When Olivia met Xavier in the hospital, he was sleeping.
Unexpectedly, Xavier opened his eyes and looked over as soon as she walked in. He froze slightly before saying with a smile, âPheebs, I thought you werenât coming.â
âNo way. I promised you I would come.â
With that said, Olivia put the insulated food container on the table and adjusted the bed upward.
âHave you eaten?â
âYeah, but hospital food sucks...â
Olivia opened the food container and poured him a bowl of soup. âTry it. It should be good for your health.â
âWhatâs this?â
âI donât know. I asked Fred to make it...â
Xavierâs expression changed slightly when he heard Fredâs name. âHe didnât poison it, did he?â
Olivia burst into laughter. âHe knows Iâm bringing it over. How could he poison it? Wonât I be implicated if itâs poisoned?â
Xavierâs eyes moved. âYeah, you have a point. I can drink it then.â
âIâll make you some soup tomorrow. I asked Fred to get the ingredients.â
âOkay, anything is fine as long as youâre the one making it.â
Olivia shook her head helplessly. He seemed to be recovering well if he was so chatty.
When Xavier finished the soup, the two chatted casually, and Olivia made up an excuse to go back.
Xavier was reluctant, but he did not stop her. He was only a little sad. âAre you really coming back. tomorrow?â
âYes, youâre my savior after all.â
After thinking about it, Olivia said, âBy the way, savior, being hospitalized is boring. Is there anything you want me to bring? Iâll bring it to you tomorrow.â
âWhy donât you bring me some novels or comics?â
âOkay, give me a list of what you want.â
âSure, Iâll send it to you later.â
âOkay, I gotta go.â
Xavier looked reluctant. âBye, Pheebs.â
Xavier sent the list right after Olivia got into the taxi.
âTake me to the nearest bookstore, Åir.â
She would buy the books on the way.
Looking at the books in her hand, Olivia smiled. She did not expect Xavier to like such books at his age.
However, it was good. At least he would lead a happy life by having childlike interests.
In the next few days, Olivia would make soup or nutritious meals to take to the hospital to visit Xavier.
However, she would not stay very long. She usually only stayed for two hours or so.
He was her savior, but she did not want to give Xavier the illusion that she would accept him for his kindness.
Therefore, she had to control their distance.
After spending a week like this, Mr. M still had not returned. They only chatted occasionally.
Olivia had no idea when he would be back. However, it was pointless for her to panic if the client was not in a hurry.
Xavier had recovered well enough to take a walk downstairs.
The two were taking a walk downstairs when Xavier pointed to a bench. âPheebs, Iâm tired. Letâs sit down.â
âOkay.â
After sitting down, Olivia got a call from Fred.
As she was hanging up, she accidentally saw a news article about Ocean City and clicked on it. However, she saw a headline that read, âThe heiress of the Jameson family was stabbed and rushed to hospital for immediate rescue overnight. The suspect is still on the run!â.
âWhat?
âDorothy was stabbed?
âCould Ken have done it?â
The news made Olivia fidgety. She momentarily pondered it with a frown before getting up and saying, âXavier, can you go back to your ward by yourself?â
âWhatâs the matter? Is something wrong?â
âNothing. Iâm not feeling well. Iâd like to go home first, can I?â
Xavier observed her and nodded. âOkay, I can go back by myself. Do you want to see a doctor?â
âNo thanks. Iâll take some pills after I get home. Iâll see you again tomorrow.â
With that said, Olivia hurried off. She called Ken as she walked.
She already told him not to mess around, but he did not listen.
Xavier looked at her hurried figure as his face darkened. Without saying a word, he got up and went upstairs.
