Chapter 418
Before Olivia was able to react, John picked her up bridal-style.
“What are you doing? John, put me down! I want to see lan!”
She struggled and punched him with her fists, but he did not compromise Instead, he carried her into the lift and went straight to the top floor.
He put her on the bed and went to the bathroom to get the shower ready.
However, before he even got to the bathroom, Olivia was already trying to escape, limping.
John walked over and stopped her. “Olivia, enough already.”
With tears in her eyes, Olivia looked at him stubbornly and resentfully, bit her lips hard, and said nothing.
Initially, she was full of anger, but seeing her fierce yet soft appearance now, John was a little helpless. and his voice became softer. “Olivia, lan is in the emergency room. It’s useless for you to go there. Take a hot bath and change your clothes first. Are you trying to fall sick as well?”
However, Olivia shouted, “I don’t need your mercy!”
“If I wanted to kill lan, I would’ve done it two years ago. Why would I wait until now?”
“So?” Olivia glared at him and did not believe him at all. “What Dorothy did has nothing to do with you?”
After saying that, she went nearer to him and stared at him coldly. “She’s your woman. You cannot absolve yourself from whatever she has done!”
In fact, she should have known better.
However, seventeen years of love had covered her eyes, and she put trust in him when she should not have.
If she could have woken up and realized sooner, things would have been different.
Sadly, there were no ‘if’s in life.
Right after, she pointed at the door and said, “I need to shower. Please get out.”
John wanted to say something, but he felt that it would be unnecessary to speak further, so he let go of her and left.
They were husband and wife, but now, they seemed to be enemies.
He leaned against the door and lit a cigarette.
Just as he took one drag, he remembered that Olivia had pneumonia, so he put it out.
He had not forgiven her for cheating on him and had never let go of that matter over these two years.
