The atmosphere softened again.Leona left with Melody to have a word with her alone.
Brayden went out with his phone and called Olivia.
He wanted to tell her that her grandfather liked her present.
Everett glimpsed Brayden’s back as he left and then went upstairs.They would stay in the old house tonight.
Everyone had a room here.
Brayden stood by a holly tree in the yard, one hand in his pocket, patiently waiting for Olivia to pick up.
Finally, the call went through when the beep was about to end.He smiled slightly.
“Olivia.”
“Senior…”
A hoarse and weak voice came, and the smile on Brayden’s face disappeared instantly.
His brows furrowed.
“Olivia, what happened to your voice?”
“I’m okay.Just a slight cold.”
“A cold? Have you taken any medicine?”
“Yes, don’t worry.I’ll be fine after having a sleep.”
How could he not worry? Her voice sounded bad.
“Are you having a fever now?”
He was worried sick thinking she was alone at home without anyone to take care of her.
“No, just a sore throat.Nothing serious.”
Olivia perceived the concern in Brayden’s voice and comforted him.
“Have a good rest.Go to the hospital if you really feel bad.’ If he had been in H City, he would have went to her now.
“I know, senior.I feel sleepy after taking the medicine.I’ll sleep now.’
“Okay.”
Olivia quickly hung up the phone, but Brayden’s brows were still furrowing.
Tomorrow was his grandfather’s birthday, so he couldn’t leave, but thinking of Olivia staying at home alone disconcerted him.
Soon, Brayden dialed a number.
“Find me a health worker now.It’s pressing.”
“Yes”
“Call me as soon as you find one””
“No problem.”
The call finished quickly.
Brayden was still worried, but there was nothing else he could do.
He wasn’t too far from her.
He waited outside.
