Chapter 252
The knife just now was not actually aimed at Olivia. The man had wanted to stab himself.
He owed a lot of debts, and there was no way out of them. Since someone could help his younger sister, he would not hesitate to die now that he could rest assured. It would also guilt people into not going back on their word.
He did not expect Olivia to see through him and even plan to stop him with her own body…
The man looked at Zyla, who was on the hospital bed, and felt frightened inside.
If she had not saved Olivia, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Olivia turned her head to look at him with a calm expression. “Sir, you’ll have a lot of chances if you stay alive. Who will take care of your sister if you die? Do you think your sister will be happy in the future when she wakes up and can’t see you
anymore?”
The man’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he asked in a trembling voice, “Miss, what’s your name?”
“I’m Olivia Larson.”
“Ms. Larson, thank you. I’ll find a way to repay you.”
After he said that, the man was taken away by the police.
Mrs. Jameson, who was still in shock, stepped forward and grabbed Olivia. “Why? Why did you trade yourself for me? Don’t you hate me?”
After hearing this, Olivia chuckled lightly. “All of you are really interesting. Why does everyone like to ask ‘why’? You’re just like children who won’t stop asking questions.”
Mrs. Jameson let go of her, and after a long silence, pursed her lips and snorted coldly. “Olivia, don’t think I’ll believe you even if you do this. I won’t fall for it.”
“Whatever.”
After that, Olivia closed the curtain. “Mrs. Jameson, please head back. Zy needs to
rest.”
Mrs. Jameson was blocked out on the other side of the curtain. She had a lot of things running through her head, but she could not express any of those feelings. In the end, she could only shake her head and leave.
Rainie had said that Olivia was vicious and also a flirtatious minx.
Olivia turned her head and glanced at him. “Dr. Lucas, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to be working here.”
Upon hearing this, he smiled awkwardly. “I come to the hospital occasionally. After all, this is my family’s building.”
“Since it’s your family’s building, you should know about the situation of that man just now, right?”
“Yeah. I will personally diagnose his sister, and I can also waive the hospitalization fee if necessary.”
“Dr. Lucas.” Olivia stood up and glanced at him casually. “You should just help him with whatever is within your power. You don’t have to waive anything for him.”
Ken nodded repeatedly. “You’re right, Mrs. Freeman.”
Immediately after, he scratched his head. “Mrs. Freeman, you should call me Ken like you did back then. I’m a little weirded out by you acting so distant with me.”
Ken was John’s friend and John’s only doctor, so Olivia saw him a lot over the past two years.
However, since her relationship with John broke down, she did not see him anymore. She was not familiar with him before, so they drifted further apart after that.
Johnny and I are not what we used to be.”
