Chapter 287
After Olivia came out of John’s ward, she sprinted back to her ward.
As soon as she returned, she closed the door, leaned against it, and wept.
She thought she did not care anymore, but it was all a lie.
After seeing the interaction between John and Dorothy earlier, she felt a stinging pain in her heart as if it was about to stop beating.
She felt useless for shedding tears for that man.
