Chapter 823

Chapter 823 After remaining silent for a while, Kate laughed suddenly and said, "Are you afraid I’m a little out of my mind because of the trauma?"

"Don’t worry. When you get to know me, you’ll see I’m not that... addicted to failure. Once I realize things, my mind is clearer than anyone else’s."

As she spoke, she smiled.

"In fact, I want to thank you.If not for you, I may not have realized things so soon."

"Me? "

“Veah."

Kate continued calmly.

"Initially, I was indeed depressed, but I thought about you.If it wasn’t for you, I’d be dead.If it wasn’t for you, I might still be dejected...

"If Ken saw me like that, heh..."

Kate scoffed self-deprecatingly.

"I would have fled abroad overnight with my illness, but you helped me stay strong so I could stand up again.I changed my mind.I don’t want to be the wayward Miss Lucas I was before.I want to start a career just like you have."

Olivia never expected her act would save Kate’s life.It did not occur to her at all that she would be Kate’s role model.

All this was like a dream, too unrealistic for her to believe it was real.

All this time, she thought she was strong enough.

However, when she saw Kate, she understood that she had been pretentious.

"Are you serious about being my assistant?"

"Yes.I want to learn jewelry design."

"Okay.When you complete your treatment, we’ll start the business.However, you should focus on recuperating for now."

"It will."

Kate smiled brightly.

"Thank you."

The smile left Olivia in a trance.She seemed to see Zyla’s shadow in Kate, leaving her in a daze.

"Phoebe?"

Kate tugged her clothes, snapping her out of her daze.

"Huh? I’ll visit you again tomorrow."

"Okay."

As soon as she left Kate's ward, she headed straight to John’s.

The two rooms were close to each other.

However, she hesitated.

At the ward door, she bumped into Wes, who was walking out.

"Mrs.Freeman, you came at just the right time.Please accompany Mr.Freeman for a while.I have to head to the company now."

Then, he left in a hurry.Olivia was speechless.She had no idea why Wes was acting so weird.

It made her wonder if it was because he had been working with John for years.

John pretended to be calm upon seeing Olivia.

"You came? I thought you’d be so angry that you’d never come to see me again."

Olivia sneered.

"I just came to find out what tricks you’re up to now."

"Are you still reluctant to believe me?"

"Those were just empty promises."

"I'll show you the chat logs."

"Maybe you stole the phone."

John sounded helpless.

"Liv, you are clearly giving me a hard time."

"I’m not giving you a hard time.In fact, I think you’re giving me a hard time."

If she had known that Mr.M was John, she would not have talked so much to Mr.M and would never have accepted his kindness.

"Give me a little time, and I’ll prove it to you."

"Okay."

Noticing Olivia was about to leave, he pointed to the oranges on the table.

"Peel the oranges for me to eat."

Olivia wanted to refuse, but John pointed at his wound and said, "

The wound on my shoulder makes it difficult for me to use my hands, but the doctor asked me to eat more fruits rich in Vitamin C."

It left Olivia speechless.

She could not reject him since he had said so.She pulled a chair in and sat.

Then, she peeled an orange for him.

However, she lifted her head and saw John opening his mouth.

"Ah "

"Don’t you have hands?"

"Feed me."

"Don’t push it!"

Even though she said that, she still peeled the orange and stuffed it into John’s mouth.

"John, since you want to get straight to the point, why don’t we talk about what happened six years ago? What did you forget that made you treat me so heartlessly?"

John was startled.He stared into her eyes and said nothing fora moment.

"You want to know?"

"Yes, go ahead."

Just then, a crash at the door interrupted their conversation.
