Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1288

Alan gave Marvin a kick in the shin.

"Stop disturbing her and leave."

The pain woke Marvin from his trance. "Sorry! I shall get out of your hair right away! Oh, Alan, why hasn't Dr. Ophelia clocked in for work yet?"

No one in Royal Hospital knew what transpired last night. It pricked Olivia's guilty conscience because they truly saw her as a friend.

"Cut it out! Leave!" Alan urged.

Once Marvin was far away from them, Alan turned to face Olivia. "Sorry about that."

"It's fine. It's normal to take a person as someone else," she acknowledged and followed him.

His brows furrowed. Despite the series of tests, Olivia didn't give the game away. Not even a hint!

A pungent perfume permeated the air, reminding him of the distinctive herbal scent coming from Ophelia.

Unfortunately, Olivia now gave off a floral scent.

Perfume gained wide currency from women. Thus, he couldn't jump to conclusions simply because of a scent.

The hospital director, Grant Tanner, welcomed Olivia in person upon learning of her visit and decided to give her a tour around the place.

While she enjoyed the pear-syrup candies, Alan pulled Grant to a corner. "Uncle Grant, did you smell that? What's that scent from her?"

"A mixture of a few flowers and sandalwood. It's strong and gives off a dominating vibe. I don't know much about perfume, though."

"Do you smell anything herbal?"

"Nope." Grant wiggled his head. "By the way, where did Dr. Ophelia go? Look at the time. She hasn't come to work yet."

Alan didn't know where to start off with the scammer incident. He wore a deadpan face. "Stop asking about her. She's a scammer. She won't return anymore."

"Scammer? What did she scam?" Grant couldn't follow.

"I didn't notice any ingredients gone missing. I'll have Marvin check the inventory. See if the thousand-year-old ginseng was stolen or not."
