Chapter 397
“Zyla.”
Olivia could tell that Zyla was upset, despite her speaking as if she was unaffected.
However, she did not know how to say it.
Outsiders should stay out of other people’s relationships, but she could not ignore them because it started because of her.
Zyla came over and sat beside her. She looked at her bandages with sorry. “Sis Liv, were you going to keep this from me until I called?”
“I… I didn’t want you to worry.”
“I know, but how can you go alone? I think of that punk as a brother too. I won’t let things slide if anything happens to him.”
With that said, Zyla took her hand, bit her lip, and said, “Sis Liv, I’ve recovered. Don’t keep secrets from me anymore. Let’s face it together, okay?”
Olivia was silent for a moment before bringing the subject back. “Zyla, there’s something I was about to tell you last time but was interrupted.
“Ken once said you’re someone he wanted to protect.”
Zyla froze, looking at her in disbelief. “Are you kidding me?”
“I’m not. He said it when you blocked the knife and were hospitalized for me.”
Olivia was a little guilty as she spoke.
Ken did say he had someone to protect, but he did not name them.
However, she was confident that her judgment would not be wrong.
Zyla paused for a few seconds before smiling wryly. “Sis Liv, I barely knew him at the time.
How could he possibly say such a thing?”
With that said, she got up, walked to the window, and sighed. “I’m sure I’m not the one he wants to protect.”
“Zyla…”
Olivia could not go on after hearing this.
She was afraid she would make more mistakes as she spoke.
She knew what Zyla was worried about, so she did not want to talk about that night and rip open Zyla’s wounds.
