Chapter 580
John was distressed looking at her like this and hugged her tightly.
“I’m sorry.” A flicker of regret flashed through his eyes. “Liv, sorry.”
Suddenly, Olivia pushed him away, yelling, “I’m not Olivia! I’m Phoebel”
Immediately, she looked up at him, gnashing her teeth, and said, “John, I am not your wife’s substitute!”
Olivia knew she was in a dilemma herself.
Before, she was hiding so she could cut herself off from him and the past.
However, now, it was a bit different.
She began to get annoyed.
Why was he so merciless to her when she was Olivia, yet he gave all his gentleness to Phoebe?
Why? Was he trying to make Phoebe stand in for Olivia?
She hated the entanglement they had.
Besides, she wanted to go home….
Jennie would be worried if she could not find her. Fred too, because they would call each other at night. If she did not call him…
Not daring to think what would happen, she closed her eyes and cried.
She was so weak and vulnerable.
After a while, she asked in an almost pleading voice, “John, please let Olivia and Phoebe go, okay?”
He did not hesitate. “No.”
“Why? Why do you…?”
Before Olivia could finish speaking, her vision turned black, and she fainted in John’s arms.
John felt relieved to see her faint.
It was the first time he found out how much she feared him.
What the hell did he do four years ago?
He laid her down carefully and began to help her change her dress.
Halfway through, his head ached, and he could not help frowning, but he did not think much of it.
Anyway, he had been having headaches for a while.
After helping Olivia change her clothes, he took his coat and covered her to ensure she would not catch a cold. Then, he leaned back with her in his arms and heaved a sigh of relief.
By the time Wes came, it was four o’clock in the morning the next day.
