Chapter 411
At that moment, John was still frozen to the spot as he had no idea if Olivia was drunk or sober.
When he finally snapped back to his senses, she had since fallen asleep once more.
He huffed a little sigh of relief as he laid her flat on her bed and tucked her in. After making sure that she was fast asleep, he finally got up, went outside, and lit himself a cigarette
When he was on his second cigarette, a high beam shone from afar. As the car came to a stop. Ken came out of the car with Zyla in his arms.
After a while, Ken made his way beside John, gave him a light shove, and asked, “Got any more of that? Hit me up.”
John passed a cigarette to Ken and asked, “I thought you quit?”
“Yeah, I’m about to. This will be my last one.” Ken smiled and exhaled a ring of smoke. “I’m about to be a father. It’s about time I quit smoking.”
Upon hearing the term ‘father’, there was a slight prick to John’s heart.
He lowered his head, and his expression was unreadable.
“There’s something I didn’t want to say at first, John, but…” Ken sighed and continued, “Dorothy Ellis is really no saint. She drugged both Zy and I, and that’s a fact.
“Even if there was no evidence, I can tell you it was her for sure.
“But I’m not here to find fault with her, and the only reason for that is that the man the other night was me Otherwise, I would’ve destroyed her by now.”
Then, it was almost like he was threatening John. “John, if Dorothy ever hurts Zy again, I won’t let her get away with it, even for your sake, so you’d better think twice.”
That was all he could say.
The rest was up to John himself.
He was different than Zac. Zac was a lawyer, so he would stick to the law when he did things.
However, he was not as gentle as Zac was
When the time came, he certainly would not mind giving Dorothy a skull-opening operation.
John did not say anything. He merely narrowed his eyes, blew out a ring of smoke, and grunted a low’ mhm’ as a response.
No one would have been able to understand the emotions that were in his eyes.
The next day, as the sun shone harshly upon Olivia’s face, she opened her eyes unhappily to scan her surroundings.
