Chapter 504
“Don’t answer!”
Olivia rushed over to try to snatch it back. “Zac, don’t answer!”
How could Zac do that? He stood up with the phone in his hand. He looked at the phone, then at her.
“Zac.” Seeing his gloomy face, Olivia lay on the bed and begged. “Please, don’t answer…”
The next second, John’s voice roared from the phone.
“Where did you go? Why aren’t you in the apartment? Your illness…”
Before the person on the other end finished speaking, Zac hung up the phone and stared straight
at her
“Were you with John last night?”
At this point, Olivia knew that she could not hide anything anymore, so she lowered her head. She did not dare to look at him.
“Yes. Yesterday, I had a fever and fainted in the hospital, so he took me home. I didn’t mean to hide it from you, I.
“Olivia!”
Zac called out her name sternly. He walked to the bedside and looked at her with an expression carrying mixed emotions, asking, “Why?”
He furrowed his brows tightly. He wanted to step forward and question her sharply, but when he saw how weak she was, his heart softened again.
“Why did you lie to me yesterday?”
For so many years, he did not have the right to stay by her side to prevent John from finding her.
He thought that she still trusted him even if he was not around.
However, she was hiding so many things from him….
Zac felt a tightness in his chest. He never asked her to reciprocate his feelings. He only wanted to be by her side to protect her and keep her company. However, he had suddenly learned that he did not even qualify to be her protector.
