The inconspicuous car drove smoothly on the road.
The car was quiet, with only the soft music playing in the background.
Although it seemed like Xavier was focused on driving the car, in fact, he had been waiting for Olivia's answer.
He thought, "I never expected Zoey to suddenly show up and help Sofia."
After all, he had tried every means over the years but failed to invite Zoey over, so how did Olivia and a mere Dean Zhao get Zoey here so easily?
It wasn't until internal news revealed that Alice and a batch of advanced medical equipment had arrived in the country and were being sent to this hospital that Xavier was sure that the mysterious woman, whom he had never met before, was really going to appear at the hospital.
Xavier made a lot of preparations to apprehend Zoey, but even if he was in Jianglin City this time and on his territory, he still failed.
He could never figure out how the woman escaped from the traps he had set, and he desperately wanted to meet her.
So, when Xavier heard Olivia ask him about Zoey, Xavier thought maybe Olivia could tell him where Zoey was.
Or, at the very least, Olivia might be aware of something Xavier didn't know about.
However, Xavier waited for a long time and has yet to hear a response from Olivia.
At first, he thought she was pondering the answer, but when he turned around, Xavier saw that Olivia had fallen asleep.
"Didn't she say she is not tired?" Xavier mused inwardly.
While he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Olivia's reaction, some bizarre thoughts flashed across Xavier's mind again.
Especially when he stopped below Olivia's house and saw the exhaustion on Olivia's face.
Xavier's expression suddenly darkened.
He grabbed Olivia's hand abruptly, but the sleeping woman suddenly woke up and quickly attacked him in return.
Xavier dodged her kicking calf and waving arms easily. His heart trembled when he saw her slightly blurry but sharp gaze resembling a recently awakened beast.
He couldn't help but wonder whether Olivia was really an average returned student from country Y, like what her personal information suggested, because why would an ordinary girl have such quick reflexes and penetrating gaze?
At that moment, Xavier finally realized that Olivia was similar to him.
He could almost conclude that Olivia's identity was not as straightforward as it seemed and that she was not just a normal design graduate student.
"What are you doing?" Olivia's arms were restrained, and she couldn't move. She slowly regained her consciousness, blinked, and looked at Xavier warily.
Xavier lowered his head to look at Olivia's slender hands. A thoughtfulness flashed across his eyes when he saw the deep and shallow marks on her fingers and palm.
"I just want to carry you upstairs so you can rest." Xavier had a demure smile on his devilishly handsome face, and his charming voice exuded both seductive and dangerous auras.
"So why did you react so violently, Mrs. Si?" Xavier lifted his brow.
Olivia had been living life like a displaced refugee all these years, encroaching on dangerous territories all the time so she would remain alert even as she slept so that she could detect danger and react to it at any time.
Earlier, when Xavier grabbed her hand, he radiated a dangerous aura. Therefore, Olivia reacted instinctively, too, without having second thoughts.
Noticing that Xavier was staring at her hands, Olivia's eyes turned darker. She quickly retracted her hands, straightened her clothes as if nothing had happened, pushed him away and exited the car.
"I didn't fall asleep. I was just resting my eyes, thinking about something."
Xavier didn't expose her lies. However, the way he stared at her had changed.
"Okay. Let's go upstairs."
Olivia walked into the elevator first and waited for Xavier to join her before going up.
When they got home, Olivia returned to her room immediately to shower.
During this period, there was absolutely no communication between the two of them.
