Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1266

Perhaps due to her intense reaction last night, Wayne did not appear in front of Olivia all day. Olivia spent her day at the Royal Hospital teaching everyone the acupuncture technique.

Just after dusk, Wayne awaited Olivia's arrival so that she could administer acupuncture. He thought about various apology strategies.

His heart raced involuntarily when he heard footsteps approaching. He stood with his back to the person coming and adopted a harsh tone. "I was wrong about last night. Don't get the wrong idea. It's not that I like you. I just have a thing for married women!" he said.

He was even prepared to tarnish his own image to reassure Olivia. His claim of liking married women was merely an excuse. Wayne waited for Olivia's response.

His ears turned red as he continued gruffly, "So you can rest assured, I won't make any moves on you. I keep the promises I make.

"Why are you silent? I've apologized. What more do you want?" he exclaimed angrily.

He turned in anger, only to find himself face-to-face with Grant's wrinkled visage. Grant's trembling lips struggled to suppress a chuckle, embarrassing Wayne.

"Why are you here?" Wayne asked.

Grant came over leisurely. "Ah, Mr. President, I'm old and have hearing difficulties. I didn't catch what you said you liked?" he said.

"What are you doing here?" Wayne asked him with a somber expression.

Grant put down his tools. "I'm here to administer your acupuncture. Don't worry, Ms. Ophelia has taught me everything," he assured Wayne.

Wayne was furious. He didn't expect Olivia to pull such a move. "Who wants your treatment, old man? Get out," he said.

Grant had cared for Wayne for years. He even treated him like a grandson and so didn't mind his temper. "Fine. Since Ms. Ophelia has taught all the doctors, I'll get someone you like to come here," he said.

Wayne had no comeback. He could only sit with his arms crossed. He let Grant work on him while he seethed angrily.
