Chapter 672 âSomething feels wrong?â Olivia was puzzled. âWhat is wrong with Xavier? He may be a little odd, but thereâs nothing wrong with him.â
âThe fact that nothing is wrong makes things seem fishy.â
Zac looked at Olivia. âIf he came to Ocean City because of you, he should not have been so friendly and looked like he was there to make friends with me.â
He knew something was wrong before, but he could not say anything without proof.
Afraid that Olivia might think he was trying to look for trouble, Zac could only remain silent. However, the more he thought about it, the more things seemed weird. He was worried Xavier would make use of Olivia, so he had to warn her about it.
âThere is one more thing that I find strange.â
Zac paused. âIn the lounge, he mentioned Lyla and Fred, which seemed intentional.â
Olivia did notice that.
However, Xavierâs back was facing the door, and he could not know who would enter the room. It seemed impossible that he did it intentionally.
Zac seemed to see through her thoughts and continued. â We met lan at the door when we were heading back after changing, right?â
Olivia nodded. âMm.â
âAt the time, I saw him drinking with John, and it did not seem like they were on bad terms.â
âHe drank with John?â
âWell, from their expressions, I think it was Xavier who approached John.â
Oliviaâs brows furrowed. John and Xavier had not been on good terms. They had no reason to sit together and drink so harmoniously.
Was Xavier really up to something?
Even so...
âZac, I think we can ignore him if his plan does not interfere with our revenge plan.
After all, he saved me once, and I hope we would not be on opposite sides.â
âI know. Iâm just warning you in case he fooled you.â
Olivia pursed her lips. âYes, I understand.â
Sometimes once things were brought up, doubts would be planted.
However, Olivia could only pray Xavier was not her enemy.
After sending Zac back to the hospital, they asked the doctor to examine his condition.
âMr. Quinton is in good condition. I think he can be discharged in a few days. After all, his leg needs to recuperate slowly.â
âReally?â
Delighted, Olivia smiled and said, âThank you. Iâll leave him to you for these few days then. doctor.â
âDonât worry, Mrs. Quinton. With your support, Mr. Quinton will recover faster.â
âThank you.â
The Lucas family owned the hospital, so Olivia was not worried about Zacâs safety.
She tucked him in and said, â Donât read the documents tonight. Go to bed early. Iâll cook something and bring it to you tomorrow.â
âI know you are also tired. Donât tire yourself some more.â
âIâm not tired.â
Zac patted her hand. âWell, go back early. Mrs. Simmons and Ms. Sutherland are waiting for you at home.â
âOkay. Iâll leave now.â
When Olivia walked out of the ward, she headed to the doctorâs office instead of the lobby.
âDoctor.â
âMrs. Quinton.â
âBe honest with me. Will his ears and legs ever recover completely?â
The doctor took off his glasses, looked at her, and sighed. â Mrs. Quinton, there is a chance that Mr. Quintonâs legs will recover with rest and rehabilitation, but his ears...
âAs you know, hearing is fragile. Although we found no physical damage, neurological damage might cause long- term deafness. I canât assure you that he will be cured.â
Olivia gasped and squeezed out a smile. âI understand.â She had expected that result, but hearing it again made her sad and angry.
Dorothy was still as mean as ever. Olivia was relieved that she did not bring Lyla back.
âI would like to have a word with you, Mrs. Quinton.â
When she was at the entrance, she suddenly heard someone calling her. Turning around, she was startled to see who they were.
It was ironic that he called her Mrs. Quinton...
