Chapter 793: 793: Back

Olivia Jenkins was sure she hadn’t mistaken the person; the man she saw was indeed Daniel Marshall.

In an instant, Olivia blinked in utter shock, disbelief reflected in her wide eyes.

Hadn’t Daniel said he had urgent business to attend and left Serene City?

Suddenly, a headache hit Olivia, and her mind went blank. Her face tinged with color.

Seeing that Daniel was checking himself out, Olivia instinctively decided not to make any purchases and quietly followed Daniel.

Olivia watched as Daniel got into an unremarkable sedan, the driver was not Simon Howard.

Olivia also saw Daniel go to ResilientCare Hospital with her own eyes, and moreover, Daniel was headed to the VIP ward.

Was Daniel sick?

Although she only saw from afar, Olivia could conclude that he was not.

So, who was the person admitted to the VIP ward at ResilientCare Hospital?

Olivia was full of questions, but she no longer had the courage to delve deeper.

After Olivia’s car drove out of ResilientCare Hospital, she parked by the side of the road.

Leaning against the steering wheel for a while, Olivia’s consciousness slowly came back to her.

Hesitant, Olivia decided to call Daniel.

Keeping her voice gentle, Olivia asked nonchalantly, “Honey, are you busy? Are you still in Kyoto?”

On the other end of the line, Daniel, who was stepping out onto the VIP ward’s balcony, responded in a hushed voice, “Yes, I’m busy. I’m still in Kyoto and will probably be back in a week.”@@novelbin@@

In an instant, Olivia’s face fell, her heart sank like it was immersed in relentless icy water, chilled to the bone.

Even so, Olivia remained composed, continuing the conversation nonchalantly, “Then you do your work, I won’t disturb you.”

“Wife, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m fine, and I’ll make sure to rest. You need to rest too, remember to drink bird’s nest soup daily, and soup.”

“I understand, hanging up now.”

“If there is nothing else, I will hurry back.”

“Hmm!” After hanging up, Olivia tilted her head back, leaning against the car seat.

A dull pain gnawed at her heart, an emotion that was too hard to put into words.

As for their marriage, Olivia saw no hope, even if it came to an end, probably only despondency would remain, she thought.

Who was the patient at ResilientCare hospital?

Daniel saw to their needs personally; this person must have been very important to him?

Even as his wife, she wasn’t allowed to know?

He could only deceive her?

Suddenly, Olivia laughed at herself.

Olivia’s laughter had a touch of bitterness.

…

Correction: A week later, Grace Ziegler was discharged.

Her facial soft tissue injury had improved somewhat, her face wasn’t as red and swollen anymore.

Although her mouth still hurt a little and the corner of her mouth scabbed, Grace’s right ear was slowly recovering, but her hearing still wasn’t as good as before.

She could hardly hear anything with her left ear.

Daniel comforted her by guaranteeing she would recover; he told her to rest assured and recuperate.

The discharged Grace also moved into the house arranged by Daniel, where she was cared for by maids and bodyguards.

After arranging everything, Daniel returned to the villa at Pearl Lake in the evening.

“Auntie Jane, where’s the madam?”

“Sir, the madam is upstairs.”

Daniel, carrying his luggage, went upstairs to tidy his clothes.

Afterwards, he went to Olivia’s study.

“Wife, are you still working?” Daniel approached Olivia, embraced her and kissed her on the cheek.

In an instant, Olivia quickly closed her notebook, not letting Daniel see the screen, “I’m sorry, it’s corporate confidentiality.”

“I understand, then I’ll go to soak in a bath first, we can have dinner together when you’re done.”

Olivia mildly nodded her head, not saying anything.

After five minutes, Olivia went back to the room and saw Daniel’s mobile phone lit up.

After hesitating, Olivia walked over to look at it.
