Chapter 712
Even though Olivia had seen Jennie's true colors, she was still a little worried, causing her to not be able to sleep the entire night as she scrolled through her phone repeatedly, so afraid that she would see the news of a woman's corpse being pulled out of the sea.
However, a night passed, and there were no abnormalities in the news even up till the morning of the next day.
Olivia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the gloomy skies out the window and the chirpy birds on the tree and decided that she would pull her curtains and nap for a while.
She had just laid down when a new one popped up on her phone.
Olivia glanced at it subconsciously and what she saw froze her immediately.
How did the media know? Did someone leak it?
She really could not sleep then, so she scrambled up to take a bath and went downstairs.
Mrs. Simmons saw how early Olivia was up and how tired she looked and knew that Olivia did not sleep the entire night.
"Go take a nap, Ms. Larson, it's still early now."
"I can’t sleep." Olivia rubbed her eyes. "Mrs. Simmons, could you brew me some coffee, please?"
"You're drinking coffee even when you can’t sleep? No, I’ll make you some floral tea. You should feel better after you drink it."
"Sure."
Olivia walked towards the garden.
Mrs. Simmons chased after her and wrapped a cardigan around Olivia. "It's chilly out, Ms. Larson. Bundle up so you don't catch a cold."
'Thank you, Mrs. Simmons."
Mrs, Simmons knew how much Olivia valued relationships, so it must be that Sutherland lady that had caused Olivia to lose her sleep.
It was all her fault. If she was not been such a busybody and got Olivia to get Jennie to stay, it would not have turned out like this.
'Ms. Larson must be feeling so downtrodden,’ she thought.
Olivia was watering plants in the garden, but her brain was occupied with the news she saw just now.
Not many people knew that Jimmy Quinton was the mastermind behind Zac's accident. Olivia ran through the list of people that knew about it in her head, but she did not get an answer.
Who could it be?
"Liv?"
Hearing his voice, Olivia turned and saw Zac coming to her side in his wheelchair.
"Why are you up so early? Did you not sleep the entire night?"
A mental block?
Olivia tugged at the doctor. "Doctor, how do we deal with the mental block? He's had a much better mindset recently."
'This isn’t my field of expertise, Mrs. Quinton. You can ask Dr. Lucas that. I believe he should be more knowledgeable than me regarding this."
Zac pulled Olivia back. "Don’t be so anxious, Liv. It could be because I’ve been wearing the hearing aids for so long and I kept feeling that I can't hear, and that could be why."
'You’re going to work at the Quinton Group next week. Can you really not wear the hearing aids?"
"It’s fine. We can discuss it with Ken later in the afternoon."
The pair walked out and bumped into Fabian at the door.
Fabian glanced at Zac and smiled. "Mr. Zac, you're here for a follow-up?"
'Yes, what about you, Mr. Fabian?"
"Oh, my mom isn't feeling too well, so I'm here to visit her."
Fabian sighedit's just a small illness, but since Dad is concerned about my mom, he will send her to the hospital even if she's just a little unwell."
Then, he looked at Zac. "Oh, right, did Mr. Quinton not come with you to your follow-up appointment?"
