Chapter 676 âWhy did Ken keep this a secret from you? Are they close?â
Olivia sighed when she saw Zac looking puzzled. âJennie has a crush on Ken!â
âWhat?â
Zac was startled and looked at her in disbelief. âLiv, are you serious? Ms. Sutherland likes Ken?â
Olivia nodded. âYes. I sensed something when they first met. However, I never anticipated that she would secretly stay back in Ocean City...â
It was a feeling she could not describe.
âWhat about Ken?â
Olivia shook her head. âI donât know, but I donât think he shares the same feelings for her.
âZylaâs matter isnât resolved yet. He might not be in the mood to start a new relationship. So, Jennie might be doing all this in vain.
âI warned her to stop thinking about it before it was too late, but she insisted that she could win Kenâs heart...â
Then, Olivia frowned and looked at Zac. âZac, I have a feeling that I might have been shallow-minded and stingy.â
âWhy do you say that?â
Zac patted the chair beside his bed and motioned for her to sit there.
Olivia walked over and sat with her brows knitted. âI donât feel comfortable with Jennie having a crush on Ken. I feel like sheâs trying to replace Zyla. She has not only replaced Zyla in my heart but even wants to replace her in Kenâs heart. I donât like the idea of that...â
Clutching her hand before her chest, she bit her lip and said, âShe is my friend. She started my business with me and helped me take care of Lyla. I shouldnât say this about her, but...â
She felt uncomfortable about it.
Zyla was someone no one could replace.
No one could replace Zyla or even try to replace her.
Why did Jennie have to do this?
There were so many men, yet she chose Ken and decided to stay back to win his heart...
Zac held her hand and said softly, âItâs normal for you to think like this. Even I found it strange.â
âI feel bad...â
She felt it suffocated her as if it could kill her at any second.
Zac immediately patted her back. âLiv, take a deep breath. Take a deep breath.â
Olivia immediately inhaled deeply a few times. After slowing her breathing, she felt better.
âLiv, why donât you take it as giving Ken a chance to get over his trauma?â
She had been trying to let Ken start over again.
However...
Olivia lowered her head and shook it after remaining silent for a while. âI think I would still find it hard to accept if they dated.â
She knew she was being selfish, but it was for Zyla, a woman who risked her life for her.
Olivia would do anything it took for Zyla.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Ken leaned against the door in a panic. He was so nervous that he almost held his breath.
It was not until the footsteps in the corridor sounded far away that he heaved a sigh of relief.
He knew Jennie was afraid to come to this ward, so it was the safest place to be.
Olivia and Ken looked at each other and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
âLiv, help me.â
âWhat do you want me to help you with? Are you being hunted by someone?â
Ken looked at her and hesitated. He pulled a chair and sat down. âIâm sorry. I should not have helped Ms. Sutherland to deceive you.â
Olivia froze. She realized he was talking about Jennie.
âWhat did you guys deceive me about?â
âMs. Sutherland never went back. She stayed in the Flovgard Hotel in Ocean City.â
Ken looked at Olivia and huffed. âI noticed she seemed to be interested in me. Please tell her that I will never marry anyone other than Zyla!â
