Chapter 550 The hospital.
Olivia entered the ward with the food container.
âHave you finished reading these books? Do you need new ones?â
Xavier looked over when he heard her. He put down the book he was holding and shook his head with a smile when he saw her.
âNo. Why are you here?â
âI promised to see you every day. How could I not come?â
With that said, she opened the food container and said, âBut todayâs meal might be a little simple. Itâs just chicken soup. You donât mind it, do you?â
Xavier paused slightly. âNo, Iâm glad you came to see me when you were already busy.â
âDonât say that. Youâre my savior.â
Olivia poured it out for him and pushed it up to him. âHurry. Drink it while itâs hot.â
âThe atelier...â
âIâll take care of it. Donât worry. Dig in.â
Then she looked at the flowers by the bed and said, âDig in. Iâll change the flowers for you.â
With that said, she turned around and walked out.
Upset, Xavier shouted, âPheebs, donât bother.â
Olivia smiled. âXavier, itâs bad luck to have wilted flowers in the ward.â
The atelier had encountered a big crisis. You could tell without a doubt that she must be anxious, but she did not show any bad emotions.
Not only did she not look upset, but she was also smiling.
However, those red eyes clearly just cried...
Xavierâs heart twitched, and he felt some pain.
When Olivia returned, Xavier pulled a check from under the pillow. âPheebs, hereâs 20 million dollars. Take it.â
Olivia froze and pushed his hand away. âI donât want it.â
âWhy?â
âXavier, I told you. I already owe you my life. I canât owe you anymore.â
Xavier frowned. âPheebs, I donât think you owe me anything. And you donât need to keep in mind that I saved you.
âI was only stabbed on the back of my shoulder. It would have been your heart if you were stabbed. I think my way is the most appropriate.â
Olivia looked at him quietly before bursting into laughter and saying, âI know youâre trying to comfort me. Youâre doing a bad job at it, but Iâm happy. Thank you.â
With that said, she pressed her lips together. âBut I wonât take the money, even if you lend it to me.â
âPheebs...â
âCall me stubborn.â As Olivia arranged the flowers, she said, âXavier, I donât want to compromise with TR. I want to win this case, so I donât need the money. Take it back.â
Xavier froze and looked at her in disbelief. âYouâre suing TR? Youâre... no match for them.â
âIt doesnât matter. I canât allow someone to slander The One I created. Even if I die, I will prove my innocence and that I did not plagiarize.â
The look in Xavierâs eyes changed slightly. There was a touch of complexity in his beautiful narrow eyes.
He withdrew his hands after some time. âOkay, but let me know if you ever need anything. I wonât ask for anything in return.â
âOkay.â
Olivia put the wilted flowers in the garbage bag before holding up fresh ones and asking, âDonât you feel better when you see gorgeous blooming flowers?â
Xavier could not tell for a moment whether she was optimistic or faking it, but he nodded anyway. âYeah, itâs pretty, but youâre prettier than the flowers.â
Olivia rolled her eyes at him, picked up the garbage bag, and walked out.
âIâm leaving. Iâll see you tomorrow.â
âOkay.â
Oliviaâs smile disappeared once she was out of the hospital ward.
She could not smile, but how could she give a sick person bad vibes?
Suddenly, a tall figure blocked her way.
âMs. James, how long are you going to hide from me?â
