Chapter 197
‘Ben’s dead?’
Olivia was still in a trance as she tugged at Zyla. Her face was pale and bloodless as she said, “Say that again.”
“Ben’s… dead.”
“No way! Impossible!”
Olivia cried and shook her head. “You’re lying to me, aren’t you?”
Zyla had no idea what had happened, but she knew Ben was an important witness.
It would upset Olivia now that he was dead.
Therefore, she hugged Olivia tightly and comforted her in a whisper, “Sis Liv, I’m sorry. He was already dead when the ambulance got there.”
“How is that possible?”
Ignoring the needle in her hand, Olivia shook Zyla desperately, crying and asking repeatedly.
How could the witness she tried so hard to find just die?
Zyla frowned as the tube in her hand ran red with blood. However, she could not think of anything to comfort her, so she let Olivia shake her.
Finally, Olivia cried until she passed out, and Zyla breathed a sigh of relief.
Once Olivia was settled in, Zyla returned to Golden Hills Apartment with groceries, preparing to make her soup.
Hospital.
“Hsss!”
An excruciating pain made Olivia sit up in bed.
She met a pair of malicious eyes as soon as she opened her eyes.
She subconsciously wanted to hide but found someone pressing her left hand hard. Seeing the bright red blood seeping through the gauze, Dorothy let go with a sneer.
“Ha, Olivia. You’re so lucky that it didn’t kill you!”
