Chapter 637 âWhat?â
Oliviaâs eyes widened as she grew uneasy.
âWhat does Dorothy want with Zac?â
âDo you know what they talked about?â
Ken shook his head. âI donât know. I only know because I asked the nurse on duty to keep an eye on him for me. He probably wonât tell you about it.â
Olivia frowned and instantly thought of many possibilities.
âDoes Dorothy know Iâm still alive?
âOr did Dorothy find out about Zacâs illness?
âOr...â
No, she did not think it was right afterward.
âHave... Have you found the cause.
of the accident?â
Ken nodded. âYes, but not the people behind it. It seems a bit difficult. They wonât speak up.â
âKeep it a secret. It would be bad for Zac if people knew about his illness.â
Olivia forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and leaned over to pick up the food container on the floor. Fortunately, Mrs. Simmons had bought one of good quality. It also fell vertically earlier, so the food inside probably did not spill.
âIâll talk to Zac about it. Keep this news from spreading and make sure everyone knows that the wedding hasnât been rescheduled.â
With that said, Olivia bit her lip. âAlso, ask the doctor if we can use a hearing aid and whether it will work even for a few hours.â
âOkay, Iâll ask for you.â
Ken patted her on the shoulder. âZacâs mental health is counting on you.â
âYeah, Iâll do something about it.â
Olivia understood the psychological pain because she had fallen into that weird cycle before. Or rather, she often fell.
She only found out today that everyone who seemed strong often had a fragile heart.
Olivia lingered in the hallway for no less than ten minutes before entering the ward.
She had not decided how to tell Zac yet.
A passing nurse saw her and froze momentarily. âMrs. Quinton, why... are you not entering the ward?â
Startled by someone calling her that, Olivia turned to look over her shoulder before stammering, âOh, I... Iâll go in now.â
It was a good thing that Zac could not hear her now, or he would have noticed it.
âMrs. Quinton, you have a good relationship with Mr. Quinton. Iâve seen many couples going their separate.
ways in the face of disaster. It makes me believe in love again to see you.â
Olivia could only smile lamely. âLove depends on whether theyâre worth it.â
âThatâs true. There are many jerks these days.â
Olivia wanted to tell her that she and Zac were not in love but friends for life....
However, she could not explain it and could only deal with it awkwardly.
Eventually, not knowing what nonsense to make up, he could only say goodbye and opened the door to the ward.
Zac was working on the files. He was calling someone on the phone while reading information.
âDo as I say, and the case will be fine.â
âYes, weâre focusing on attacking that point of doubt. Change the angle and discredit their view. And their evidence is no longer credible.â
Olivia pressed her lips together when seeing him work hard..
Zac remained rational and calm as he thought about work in this situation.
If she did not know what had happened during the day, she would never have guessed that he was breaking down inside.
She did not walk over until Zac hung up. âZac, I brought food.â
With that said, she smiled and held up the food container.
Zac looked slightly shocked when he saw her. âWhen did you get here?â
âJust now.â
Olivia put the meal down and set it up for him. Then she smiled and gestured, but she was slightly slow because she had just learned.
âTake your time. Weâll talk when youâre done.â
Seeing her gesturing, Zac froze and looked at her in disbelief.
âYou know sign language?â
Olivia shook her head.
âYou learned it just for me?â
