Chapter 56
When John walked past Olivia’s room, he stopped in his tracks. He wanted to knock on the door. After a long while, he drew his hand back.
He walked down the stairs and left in his car.
John was confused. he kept thinking about how Olivia was before everything happened.
Olivia did not like to cry. Even if her hands were bleeding, she would only frown.
However, Dorothy loved to cry. She always looked wronged and pitiful. At first, she made him feel sorry for her, but after a while, he became annoyed with it.
However, Dorothy was the one who had accompanied him through painful days. She even donated a kidney to save him. He would never forget her kindness.
for Olivia….
The thought made his blood boil in anger, and he subconsciously pressed down the accelerator harder.
He drove to the bar and dialed Zac’s number.
“Come and drink with me.”
Zac was still outside Cliffside Villa. He looked at the second floor and sighed. “Which bar? I’ll be there
soon.”
“The old place.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Zac called Olivia.
John’s voice sounded unhappy. He feared Olivia was injured again, but he could not break into the house to check on her.
The call soon went through.
“Are you alright? Did Johnny do anything to you?”
“No. He knocked on the door, but I didn’t answer him.”
Olivia’s voice sounded like she was fine. However, Zac was worried because she was a stubborn woman.
“Olivia, remember, you must tell me if you run into any problems. Don’t try to push yourself, okay?”
Olivia chuckled and quipped, “Mr. Quinton, do lawyers always talk so much?”
She bit her lips, folded her hands around her chest, and curled up under the covers, longing for relief.
She remained in that position for a long time before she dozed off.
When she heard the door open in the middle of the night, she woke up in shock.
A drunk figure stumbled over, took off his coat, and climbed onto the bed. Then, he hugged Olivia from behind.
“Liv, wouldn’t it be nice if we could go back to two years ago?”
*John?‘
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat, and she froze in place, not daring to move.
“Liv, I love you. Don’t abandon me, okay?”
John pressed his face against her ear, making her shudder. His voice was deep and sounded like he was sobbing, making Olivia feel like she was in a dream.
She began to wonder if John was still the man who had abused her.
At that moment, she felt like she had traveled back in time and her old Johnny had returned.
