Chapter 536
Xavier dared not protest after hearing this. After all, he knew Olivia was injured and needed rest.
“Yes, Pheebs should rest.”
Fred glared at him. “So you know what’s good for you.”
Olivia pushed him. “Fred, don’t talk like that. If he hadn’t taken the stab for me, I’d still be in the ICU.
However, Fred did not like Xavier. He still wanted to drag Olivia away, even after learning what had happened.
“Fred, wait. There’s something I want to talk to you about.
“I’ll go back to my room to get changed. Come and see me later.”
With that said, Olivia left, leaving Fred in the room.
Fred looked indignantly at Xavier. “What is it?”
“Your sister seems claustrophobic.”
Fred examined him sharply. “Why do you say that?”
“We were in the dark for a while after we were taken. Pheebs was shaking. I’m pretty sure she’s not just afraid of the dark.”
Xavier then paused and asked in concern, “What happened?”
“You’re overthinking. My sister is just afraid of the dark and is timid.”
“Really?”
“Of course, I’m her brother. Can I be wrong?”
Fred did not bother to engage with him. He opened the door and walked out before waiting for Xavier to ask any further questions.
Fred frowned and stared at the room door for some time after getting out.
No one else should know about Olivia’s mental problems.
Especially Xavier-a flirty guy with an agenda for her.
On the way back, Fred asked tentatively, “Liv, what do you think of Xavier?”
Olivia was confused. “What do you mean?”
“Everything.”
