Chapter 83 Zac looked at how startled Olivia was and his heart trembled a little.
It was only then that he realized that his intentions had changed, but he did not know when that began. âLiv, every time I see you, youâre barely alive. Iâm a lawyer. I canât just ignore that. Even if it was someone else, I would have done the same, you know?â
After he was done, he explained further since he was afraid that Olivia would feel pressured.
âEven if Johnny may have something against me, I donât agree with the way he does things. But he is my friend, so as a matter o f fact, itâs only logical for me to take care of you, so if Johnny has a moment of realization one day in the future, I hope you will still be alive when that time comes.â
After hearing all this, Oliviaâs heart jerked violently.
She had been tortured so much the past few weeks that she almost forgot that she was a cancer patient that would die at any ti me.
She really did not bother to care about the ways of the world anymore, but she should not waste every second and every minute she was alive.
âThank you, Zac. Itâs just that I wonât be able to repay you.â
âDonât worry about it. Iâm serious. I grew up with Johnny, so I know him really well. Stubbornness is his weakness.â
Zac paused for a while. âOlivia, are you really still going to go headâtoâhead with him?â
Olivia snickered. âI was the one that was hanging onto him, but heâs the one that refuses to let me go now. He refuses to let me li ve, and he refuses to let me die. How demanding of him.â
As she finished her sentence, the car pulled to a stop in front of the peninsula.
âThank you, Zac Quinton.â
After she was done speaking, Olivia had a sudden realization that she had said too many thank yous to him. She smiled awkwar dly and said, âIâm sorry for inconveniencing you.â
âLiv, could you stop saying thank you to me from now on?â
Olivia was stunned for a while, and before she could react, the door swung open. Johnâs lanky frame stood tall at the door, and hi s eyes were icy cold.
âOlivia Larson.â
His tone of voice was dripping with ice and tainted with a sliver of killing intent, making Olivia shudder involuntarily.
She stood up to look at John, only to realize that his gaze was icy cold as well, almost like he wanted to freeze her.
âJohnny.â
âWhy the long face? Am I interrupting your seduction plan?â
âJohnny, thereâs nothing going on between Zac and I. Donât slander us like this.â
âNothing going on?â Johnâs gaze fell onto Oliviaâs lower belly and scoffed coldly. âYouâve got that b*
stardâs child growing in there, and you tell me thereâs nothing going on?â
Oliviaâs face was instantly ashen. Her parched lips struggle to form words.
âJohnny... Stop saying. nonsense! Youâre the only man Iâve ever been with, ever since the beginning!â
John refused to believe her. He pulled her into his arms, looked at Zac, and said, âZac, have you really fallen for her?â
âSnap out of it, Johnny.â
Zac frowned unhappily at John.
However, to John, that had become a look of jealousy. John looked down at the woman in his arms and snarked mockingly. âYouâr âJohnny!â
âZac, weâre buddies. Thereâs a saying that goes, âbros before hoesâ. She is nothing but a plaything to me, so it doesnât matter if I ju The more John spoke, the more ridiculous his words got. They made Olivia tremble uncontrollably.
Was this still the man she loved?
No! This was the Devil!
Before Zac could respond, Olivia had wriggled free from Johnâs embrace and struck her hand across his cheek with a slap.
âJohn Freeman, youâre despicable!â
As soon as she was done, she flew into the mansion and went upstairs immediately only to plop herself. down on the bed right aw Her tears flowed uncontrollably. How unbearable must John think she was for him to humiliate her like this?
