Chapter 646 Olivia shuddered. âDo you know who Iâm going after?â
âYeah, I know.â
âYou know, and you still want to help me? Isnât she your savior and lover? Are you willing to do it?â
John knew she was being sarcastic and nodded without hesitation, âYes, Iâm willing.â
She could not see through this man.
However, he needed a hot bath, or she would be in trouble if he got a fever.
âCan you walk? Or do you need help?â
Before John could speak, she moved round to him. âForget it. Iâll help you upstairs, but Iâm not strong enough. If I hurt you, donât trouble me when you recover.â
John got up and put his hand on her shoulder with a small smile. âYou havenât joked with me in a long. time.â
Olivia was speechless. âI think youâre confused.â
When they went upstairs, John was afraid he was too heavy, so he held onto the handrail with his right. hand and tried to put all his weight on the right.
However, it was unknown if the dizziness made him miss the steps. Olivia almost fell off several times.
When she managed to get him to the other empty guest room, Olivia sat on the edge of the bed, gasping for air.
It was exhausting.
However, John was still wet after she snapped back to herself, so she yanked him up and sat him down in a chair nearby.
âWhy donât you wait here for a minute? Iâll go to the bathroom and prepare the bath for you.â
After Olivia went out, she stopped Mrs. Simmons, who had just gotten changed. âMrs. Simmons, would you please get me a new set of bedding and change the one in the guest room?â
âOh, okay.â
Remembering who was staying after replying, she stopped Olivia again. âMiss, are you sure youâre letting him stay? Iâm afraid Sir will be paranoid if he finds out about this.â
âDonât worry. Itâll be okay. Iâll talk to Zac.â
âAlright.â
Mrs. Simmons soon came in with fresh sheets. Seeing John leaning weakly in the chair, she sulkily rolled her eyes at him.
âMr. Freeman, as the old saying goes, karmaâs a b*tch.â
As she spoke, she pulled off the sheet. âAnd another saying is that karma will get you someday.â
What happened four years ago made Mrs. Simmons upset with him. If the man protected her and did not hurt her, would she have gotten cancer and suffered so much?
âThereâs a saying in our hometown that a man who has had affairs will live his old age in misery. Heâll go to hell when he dies.â
âMrs. Simmons, long time no see.â
John spoke indifferently after a long time.
Seeing that he was not upset, Mrs. Simmons said with a sneer, âWhat happened to your old temper of scolding our young lady and bullying us? Now youâre pretending to be sick to get sympathy. Iâm telling you. I wonât buy it.â
âYou can scold me as much as you like, Mrs. Simmons. I donât mind it.â
Although he had collapsed, he was not unconscious.
When it was windy and raining, he felt cold all over, and the rain made him miserable, but he could not move or wake up.
He suddenly remembered the night four years ago when he made Olivia kneel because of Dorothy.
The weather was the same. She stubbornly knelt in the yard as she kept her back straight. She said nothing and refused to give in to him.
She fell in the rain afterward. Was she just like him now at the time?
Despair, pain, torture...
It turned out this was how it felt. He seemed to have had many things figured out all of a sudden.
He stubbornly wanted to keep her around, thinking he was her best choice, but he seemed to ignore the past pain.
However, he believed Olivia did not love Zac, so he still had a chance even if they got married.
He would not give her up.
